EC VS The World 10v10 @ Combo Breaker 2016

[Broken Loose]

3 minutes is actually a really long time. I think it could be shorter.

I honestly feel like we could shorten it to 1-2 for sure I just want to see if it can just slide. It shouldn't be an issue, as both teams should have an idea as to who is going next WELL by the time the set itself is over.

 

[Saske]

A talent truly gone too soon

it's pretty tragic

 

[ShadeMoneh]

Relaaaaaaaaaaaaxxxxx

 

[alexpi]

We should do it actual Pokemon style. Someone else acts as captain and decides who goes out. In true Pokemon fashion, the captains should be named Red and Dickfart.

 

[Duckator]

Is yelling advice from off the stage ok?

 

[dekillsage]

I don't really like the idea of being able to switch teams. A lot of people don't play multiple teams, but it means you can't actually counter pick some people, which is kind of lame since that's all the other team is trying to do should their team lose.

Yelling off the stage is whatever because that stops coherent advice from taking place and the player should just be ignoring it anyway.

Say you beat me with Double/Fukua/Bella game 3 so that means you win the set and Socks has to come up next since I just lost. You HAVE to play those 3 characters because...

-If you win the 2/3 set, the team you won with MUST be the team you use going into game 1 of the next set, however you MAY switch order and assists as you please since you're playing a new player. Think of it as a new set in tournament to some degree.

Is order switching and assist switching what you disagree with?

 

[Yaya]

So what are we doing, regarding subs? Sage can't make it for Friday, Dolfinh might not be able to go, and Sev is confirmed unable to go.

 

[keninblack]

We're working on the team replacements right now and will post it up when we're ready.

 

[GrunkleBarlowe]

I'm going, team is deciding on Sev's replacement right now.

I didn't know Sev couldn't go. That's a bummer.

 

[dekillsage]

World should just pick zeknife or peck.

How is world not gonna have ANY player from Europe?

 

[GrunkleBarlowe]

Not your decision

 

[Tommer]

That's an awfully harsh response to a modest suggestion.

 

[mcpeanuts]

Eh. I've seen harsher

 

[Pickles]

Eh. I've seen harsher

when you've been alive as long as peanuts you see a lot

 

[mcpeanuts]

See that I would call very harsh and not very nice to my feelings

 

[Cadenza]

Its ok though, Alzheimer's will set in and you'll forget the whole thing

 

[mcpeanuts]

[Dhoppler]

I'm in a really poor mood today- I apologize

That said, I am leaving who replaces Sev to the members of the team.

 

[Tommer]

That's an awfully modest reply to a pretty harsh derailment.

 

[MegamanDS]

So is the format basically winner stays on until one team is fully eliminated?

 

[GrunkleBarlowe]

That's the tl;dr version yeah. Pokemon style.

 

[alexpi]

And in true Pokemon style, team captains will be named Red and Dickbutt.

 

[skull person]

Just a reminder that before you play you have to twist your hat from forwards to backwards as you pick your characters.

 

[ninja-nutria]

Capatains should also be allowed to nickname their pokemons i mean team mates.

 

[keninblack]

Replacements have been made for both teams.

Severine is unable to attend this year, so her replacement for team world will be

Fuzzy_Snugs (MO)

Dekillsage won't be able to attend Friday, so his replacement will be

Templenut (PA)

Good stuff to both players, we'll be sure to keep things hype the whole way through!

 

[Mr Peck]

Mr Peck and Zeknife vs Dolfinh and Fuzzy_Snugs 2v2 exhibition?

 

[GrunkleBarlowe]

Up to Fuzzy, I'll play whatever

Yaya already wants to play me for my slot though we have to let that resolve first

EDIT: I would say that Yaya/Peck/Zeknife are way more passionate about their slots on the team than me and fuzzy are.

 

[GrunkleBarlowe]

I can honestly tell that you guys are way more passionate about the exhibition- and the slots way more than Fuzzy and I are, so if you can beat us in a 2/3 then by all means please take our slots and show EC what you're made of.

First things first though I did say Yaya could play me for my spot first.

Wing is also open to having his spot challenged.

 

[mcpeanuts]

Someone please beat Wing so I don't have to play him

 

[keninblack]

Just to chime in.

EC spots aren't open, we already had an open qualifier at NEC.

The team is set in stone.

 

[zeknife]

I would gladly play in a last minute qualification exhibition thing for Team World if people want that/current listed players are cool with it and it fits the schedule and everything

What day are you guys getting in?

 

[zeknife]

I'm taking the 8PM Thursday shuttle

 

[GrunkleBarlowe]

Okay sounds good, we can play Friday sometime- if there's time leftover after pools that would be a good time to do it. If not there then we can play on setups in a hotel room.

 

[keninblack]

Alright so I talked to Rick to see if this is even okay. Here are the ground rules for World players playing for spots.

This is what me and Rick agreed upon and this makes no exceptions, if you have an issue you actually have to hold that.

-The only barrier of time we have is from Friday 1PM-3PM AT THE VENUE. Any other form of "qualification" will not count, hotel room sets, playing at noon, none of this will count.


FRIDAY 1PM-3PM. After 3 both teams are set in stone and absolutely nothing can change no matter how hard you want it to.

-You may only challenge world members who are OPEN to play for a spot. Just as an example, if Liam does not want to play for a spot. He will not play for a spot, he qualified for the team, he has every right to keep it. This is only an option for the players who are WILLING to play for spots. If they say no, you have to hold that. So long as they're already on the team.

-We can all agree on the set count, but lets make the sets consistent. All FT5? 7? 10? Keep in mind of the time but lets get this popping.

-Lastly, please don't waste our time, we only have two hours. Only play for a spot if you see yourself at a skill level capable of being on the world team for this exhibition. I don't want to be rude, but this exhibition isn't for beginner level players. So please keep that in mind.


So so far...

World Members Willing To Play: Dolfinh, Fuzzy(?), WingZero(?)

Challengers: Zeknife, Mr Peck, Yaya

 

[GrunkleBarlowe]

I think 2/3 is appropriate
