DolphInN We used to have the winner's elo slightly decrease if they were expected to roll, but barely won, but enough players complained that we removed that, which is why we have the "elo out of thin air".
if you're going to keep the other half of this (gaining elo when losing) you have to keep this half too. otherwise the elo on the site will just infinitely inflate over time. IMO you shouldn't have either of these effects, since the goal of the game is to win the game, not win rounds; ELO ratings will still converge to represent player skill/contribution to winning given a large enough sample size even if you only count W/L and not rounds
exaWe would like still to run playoffs for the open part of the tournament as it seems that it is something that players would be more interested in. At the moment, we are just trying to work on a playoff structure that would work with the schedule of the venue as well as potentially seeing if we can secure more PCs on Day 2 to help with this. Once more details are finalized, that will be announced.
Could work with only 42 available pcs. One invite team will be eliminated for day 2 so the other 3 teams would take up 18 pcs. Then there are 24 remaining, this can run 2 open playoff matches at once. Swapping pcs for different teams to play isnt that hard to do since localhost isnt byoc anyways. Some playoff structures would work in the necessary time constraint and not require more than 2 concurrent matches (ex. 4 team single elim w/ bo3s). Could also do a round 1 of playoffs on day 1 to run a total 8 team bracket. Double elim would probably require lower bracket games to be bo1s to fit in schedule, or require more day 1 playoff games, so thats why i suggest single elim. Of course more pcs would give you freedom to do different structures with more teams playing on day 2 but you could still work with 42 pcs and ending before 8 pm.
The number of groups/ number of matches in group stage should also be designed to fit around the number of teams in playoff (ex. if going with 8, split into either 4 groups with bo3 round robin or 2 groups with bo1 round robin (2 groups is generally what past lans have gone with)). 3 groups doesnt really make sense for any playoff structure since even 6 team bracket is really a 4/2 split (one of the group winners/second places will be treated differently from the others and will have to make the decision by round difference or something else arbitrary)
lan pugs arent much more fun than regular pugs at home. find a way to fit in a traditional tournament instead! thats what lans are good for
to get this working after win64 update, open the exported profile's .nip file and change the executables from team fortress 2/hl2.exe to team fortress 2/tf_win64.exe and then save and import that profile
my mid ass pov is highlighted
shouldnt this thread be in the lan discussion subforum, so that people can find it easier
PTSunnyyHL loch might just be a side-grade, but its a side-grade that can slow the pacing of a format with already pretty slow pacing.
How does killing a level 3 sentry slow the pacing of the game
i dont think i saw anyone get killed with a market gardener this season but everyone just stopped using it so i guess thats why
i dont trust even invite players’ eye test. there have been some hackused players in invite over the last few years (none ever found cheating/banned), i’ve seen the reports, there might be some truth to it all but i’ve also seen some of the same people prove themselves later on lan, people are very quick to assume any fast improving player is cheating
eddiieeWait what did safrix do?
what hasn’t safrix done? other than get a job ICANT
think the sane conclusion here is that scout is just a free and easy class. lets ban scout
