I'm pleased to announce our eight teams for the Invitational this year! In no particular order, both rosters:

----  The EU Roster! ----

Storm Ryders - Team Ryders
The Gentlemen - Team Mad Hatters
Glowwater Thralls
CAKE


---- The US Roster! ----

Sacrilege - Team Sacrilege
Zill's Merry Men
SPQR - The Praetorians
The Brotherhood - Hydra


We appreciate everyone that sent in an application, in total we had 20 of them! When we were putting this together I figured it'd be easy picks but we got a much larger turnout than originally expected. We apologize to the 12 teams that did not make the cut, and hope you guys and gals don't get down on yourselves for not getting in, choices on this one were very hard indeed.

Look forward to more content releases and previews in the coming weeks, including FourthOracle's previews on the teams and promo reels. Full brackets will be released later this week, with map rolls being done two weeks before the first day of events.

We've been working towards it for a while now, but we're finally ready to announce details for the 2014 R&D Invitational for GOIO! Here's our ruleset that we'll be using, the timeslot, and how to apply your team/clan:

---------------------------------

-The Invitational will be held on the second Saturday in November and running two Saturdays after that.

-There will be two separate brackets. A European bracket held at 1-3pm EST (6-8PM UTC) the first day, and the American bracket at 5-7PM EST (10-12PM UTC) the second day. Day 3 will be the finals, and either be from 2-3pm EST (7-8 PM UTC) or 5-6pm EST (10-11PM UTC). It will be teams choice (as long as one bracket isn't full) as to which bracket they would like to be placed in.

-8 Teams of two full ships will be admitted in total, based off of personal preference from myself and our organizational team and teams that applied.

-Teams are asked to submit the names of not only their captains but their crew as well. If this isn't possible, or you'd like to submit names for replacements as well, we're willing to work with you to make this happen.

-All matchups will be best of three, with no losers bracket or second chances. You lose your best of three, and you're out!

-Days one and two will both be three best of threes, with the final day being the final two teams meeting in the finals. This is done not only to put emphasis on that singular best of three match, but to give the teams that make it that far to be rested and prepared for the finals.

-We will be following all standard rules of MLG events for Guns of Icarus Online, and will be submitting our event to Major League Gaming as a possible event. We will not be requiring teams to register with MLG ahead of time, but it is strongly encourages as you will earn points in the arena system for this event.

---------------------------------

IN MATCH REGULATIONS

-Each preliminary best of three will last a maximum of forty (40) minutes, with timing being structured very similarly to the Sunday Community Skirmish. Each Bo3 will have a ten (10) minute pool of overtime to pull from, with each game lasting an initial time of ten (10) minutes.

-The finals Bo3 will be slightly different time-wise. Instead of a ten (10) minute pool of overtime, there will be a twenty (20) minute overtime pool.

-There are no official pauses or holds. We expect every team to come prepared to fight at the highest level, if that means beating your ISP into making sure your connection is solid, that's what we expect. Gentlemens agreements on pauses are allowed, but we will not under any circumstances hold teams to them.

-Under no condition should any team be watching the broadcast stream of the game during the event. We understand that a lot of you don't believe stream sniping is effective, but we're putting this is writing either way. We'll be directing our referees to watch for major signs of stream sniping, and how to react without impacting the game/team in question.

---------------------------------

To apply to be a team in the 2014 R&D Invitational, email us at therobanddanshow@gmail.com with your CLAN NAME, TEAM NAME, CREW NAMES, TEAM LOGO, EURO OR US BRACKET, and PRIMARY POINT OF CONTACT. You will be replied to with a confirmation email and, if your team is selected, receive a congratulatory email a few weeks later.

The Signal Tower / Official Roster of GOIO eSport Casters
« on: August 15, 2014, 09:24:26 pm »
The casting community of GOIO has come together and put a lot of effort into the quality of broadcasts in the last few months, and in light of that we've put together a full roster of trained casters and operators who you can look forward to hearing and seeing during the fall season and future years!

Letonator
FourthOracle
Macharborguy
Imagine
Brick Hardcastle
Sir Morty
Rotted Beef
Swallow
James T Kirk

You might notice some older names missing from this roster, but fear not! If any of our veterans of old return, they'll instantly be grandfathered in as soon as they become active casters once again. In addition, we're looking to put together more permanent cast teams with not just the individuals listed but new individuals that are starting to receive active training.

The entire Guns community has been growing by leaps and bounds lately, so I went ahead and put together a quick listing of resources and connections that individuals and clans can take advantage of to actively grow and strengthen themselves.

Important Skype Groups

Clan Leaders Discussion Group-
This is a skype group made for the explicit purpose of giving clan leaders a direct connection to each other for the purposes of organization and scheduling, as well as communications. I would ask that individuals keep personal or intra-clan disputes or issues out of this, as it's gonna be important to keep things professional and reasonable. In addition, if an individual that joins this group steps down as a clan leader, they will be required to leave this chat to keep things as uncluttered as possible.

Official Casters and Youtubers Discussion Group-
This is a skype group made for the explicit purpose of organizing and promotions between active casters and youtubers for the Guns of Icarus community. There won't be many restrictions on this group, and I'd like to actively encourage the sharing of streams, links, videos, and more through it. It's specifically for streamers, casters, and youtubers so if you don't fall into those categories we ask you not request access. In addition, if you retire from casting, streaming, or youtubing, we ask you leave this group to keep things as uncluttered as possible.

Official Competitive Organization Group-
This is a skype group made for the explicit purpose of organizing any and all major competitive events for the GOIO community. It's for all participants in major events, from referees to organizers to administrators to casters. There are few restrictions on this group but I would ask you keep things professional.

To request access to any of these groups, email us at therobanddanshow@gmail.com with your skype name and the group(s) you'd like to be granted access to, as well as who you are and why, or if you already have me on skype just ask there.


MLG Links and Resources

These are the official MLG forums for Guns of Icarus Online. We can post events, announcements, updates, and more all here as we feel like, so feel free to use them to your advantage. A lot of people will see activity here and quite naturally be drawn to it.

http://gamebattles.majorleaguegaming.com/pc/guns-of-icarus/teams/create
This is the link to create a team for the official MLG system. It's important to make sure you have control of your team and name, so get it made as soon as you make your team in game and get to racking up points in the MLG system.
