Suggestion regarding larger tourneys

(1/9) > >>

Garou:
Hello everyone. I'd like to start by thanking everyone involved for taking the time out to schedule, run, and cast TSR every week. It's an awesome experience and I know for us in Wolfpack, it's become something we look forward to each week. Urz, Papa, Brick, Imagine, you guys are awesome.

That said, I wanted to post a thought I had regarding tourney length. This week we saw a great turnout for the tourney, with 7 clans vying for the win. It's great to see, but at the same time I saw a number of comments regarding how long the tourney ran.

I was thinking that instead of streaming every match, perhaps matches could be run simultaneously. In the case of two matches running at the same time, one could be live streamed while the other could have a referee watching the action and breaking into the live broadcast with score reports, when a team wins a match or series. This referee could perhaps also be recording the match, and afterward a highlight reel or the match in full could be posted on the twitch site.

This would allow everyone to view their performances while also having less wait time, without having to change the format to a "one-and-done" like the COGs etc. I personally feel the "best of 3" approach is a great one, especially for clans new to competitive play, as it gives them an opportunity for a comeback. I also feel the victories are more decisive with a "best of 3" format.

Anyhow, just a thought, and thanks again for all the work you guys put in. Can't wait for next week!

I agree with all of this whole heartily

Skrimskraw:
I think we, corvus, waited 1.5 hours to play yesterday, and rhinos waited longer.

I know it's fun to watch the streams but an event that takes up to 3-4 hours every week is hard on you especially when it could potentially end at 2am CET. People have school and work etc.

so yea agreed on either a best of 1 way or run several games at the same time.

Wundsalz:
I strongly support the idea of parallel matches - even if that implies some of them don't get streamed. Waiting for two hours before the action starts sucks - especially if you don't know that you've to wait that long prior to the event. Also the event lasted way too long for Eu-centered clans like ours. Two of our members actually had to leave us before our first match started, because they had to get to work early. If you need to get up at 5-7am on Monday you simply can't play beyond midnight on Sunday.

Mr. Ace Rimmer:
Overwatch would have no problem participating in dark matches for the sake of streamlining the tournament. We too enjoy the best of 3 format of the Sunday Rumble and feel that once you get 5 or more teams a week, this might be the best way to approach things. :)
