Press Start Community Guns of Icarus Tournament - Sign ups extended to April 30
ZeckPressStart:
Ah crud. I forgot to clarify again NO CASH. If the team chooses to get a prize it will be steam gift cards or a tangible item. International laws and even local laws are very difficult with cash. It's a prize pool that can get the team Steam gift cards or a tangible item or they can donate it to Child's Play under their name instead of PSC.
I know it seems unnecessary however I feel odd forcing the winners to donate. I'm pretty confident every team would however I would still like to allow the teams to decide themselves.

Well this event has been catching my attention since its been published, mainly for the wrong reasons, I'm sorry. Because of the lack of interest I didn't left a comment before but now , that you have something more defined, I fell like showing what my/our concerns are.
Looking at the current list of teams I notice that there's only 3/8 teams left to fill but there's no regulars, which left us concerned. Then after some research I found that almost every player on that list is not sign up into the game, yet.
Then, even if we would like to participate, there's also a competition going on at the moment, The Sky League, in which most of the teams in this game are participating, and its also going to be on the 19th.
But I liked the way you change the structure of the event with the tips of the community. I wish you the best of luck with this event ;)

my mistake, I just generally meant putting the money towards the winners. I understand your reasoning although I still respectfully disagree. Competitive teams are interested in any well organised and well presented event, an (insignificant) cash prize would probably mean rather less than the joy and satisfaction of winning (or indeed losing) closely matched games.
and yes, I agree with Allien that with 5 of the team slots filled by total newcomers, your tournament will have issues. If some regular competitive teams do participate a lot of those matches will be total stomps which may make things rather less interesting for everyone involved.
Imagine:
Holy moly, guys, turn down the dial on the elitism meter...

Yes you are right I did not start this topic out right lol I've learned a lot.
As for the event yes i did get a lot of Noobies to start. Like I said I wanted this event to be more about the fun of the game (bring more new players in) and less about the winning and being the best. For you guys here I was hoping to offer more of just a laid back game for you guys to play or if you had new tactics you wanted to test or if you had new clan members that you wanted to get some practice in. This is a casual Tournament that's all. I know getting some of the top players could result in the stomping of the lower players however i just wanted to offer a more casual fun event for everyone here that's all.
As for sky league i thought it was over on April 26th? that's was why i extended the signups till the 30th after the sky league finishes. Did I somehow miss some other event???
