yea so I was playing and apparently so was BM on the same server but I didn't even notice till he ended up in front of my stray rocket so I'd say these GW games ain't too fun and or social and or interactive if it isn't 100% gw members and 0% random players. Well maybe a few random guys... but like 2 at max.

Also 6v6 sounds good. Just tell me when and I'm there m8.

id prefer a gw tournament be made up completely of gw members and hopefully at least 6-8 people would have a mic. i'd recommend we'd station the server on the U.S atlantic coast so that way people on the pacific coast and in the uk can still connect and play at a tolerable ping level.

the problem with goldrush is the massive chokepoints and poorly designed corridors that the map is infamous for. i'd say it's quite a feat if you are good at goldrush offense, because red wins that map 80% of the time (these are official valve statistics). if we're going to play meatgrinding maps at a gw tournament, which i assume we'd do at least one, we should make it steel or maybe dustbowl. but no goldrush please god not that

I really think we should do steel. That or badwater, since it's way better than goldrush.
If we can set a specific time and date, that would be good. That way we can grab anyone and everyone we can on here and make it happen.

Well when the time comes we can poll the map, until then we need 12 people to at least show interest.

We should play two maps for the tournament just because

the second map either has to be gravel pit, granary, badlands, or cp_well though (these are the best)

I think it's entirely possible to get 12 people to play, however, getting them all together at a single point in time is another story. Which leads to why the sunday sunday sunday games have stopped. We need to start that up again, or SOME sort of organized get together (regardless if this 6v6 works out or not).

I definitely support granary and badlands, but I draw the line at fastlane, hydro, and turbine. goldrush is okay, but if you want a good payload map, there's none better than badwater.

What about some arena? Anyone here into that kind of game style?

i got a bro who is willing to let us use his scrim server for a 6v6 tournament so that way it's configured for tournament mode and everything- only problem is it's in texas which is even further from the uk

arena would be good as long as tournament mode is turned on, that way we can actually form the teams ourselves

We should just make it a GW Olympics event if that shit is still going on because we were going to have a TF2 event anyways.

I'm in regardless, American pings aren't so bad for me.

Alright so you guys are definitely all up for the tournament, and a couple have expressed interest in a weekly funplay event. What if we run the funplay event at two points in the week, once friendly for EU are players and one friendlier to the US players so that dependant on your timezone there is an event where you are still likely to meet other players online without having to stay up til 3AM or whatever.

As for the tournament let's take suggestions for maps and teams.

I don't have access to add a poll to this so just say your map vote and which team you would like to join and when the 12 slots fill up, which hopefully they do, we can put a time on it. Vote for say, THREE maps each okay.

* ARENA_Badlands
* ARENA_Granary
* ARENA_Lumberyard
* ARENA_Ravine
* ARENA_Well
* CP_Badlands
* CP_Dustbowl - 1 Vote
* CP_Fastlane
* CP_Granary
* CP_Gravel Pit
* CP_Steel
* CP_Well
* CTF_2fort - 1 Vote
* CTF_Turbine
* CTF_Well
* PL_Badwater Basin - 1 Vote
* PL_Gold Rush
* TC_Hydro

TEAM ONE

- magi
- goat
- neophyte
