[FACTIONS.I] Proposed Map Format/Map Previews/Information

[PACO]

Dear Ladies and Gentleboys,

I am pleased to announce the maps and map selection process for FACTIONS.I.



Maplist:
Adonis
CampLinfort
CollarDreams
Command (sniper edit)
Duku (sniper edit)
Elsinore
Gauntlet
NIX
Nuance
Sprinta (sniper edit)

The maps will still potentially undergo some minor edits but the final versions will be up on the servers by this Sunday.

8 teams = 3 rounds. Round 3 will be skipped if there are only 8 teams.
16 teams = 4 rounds.

---

BO3 Round 1: Gauntlet, NIX, Adonis, Elsinore, Nuance

A eliminates 1, B eliminates 1, A picks 1, B pick 1s, remaining map is TB.

BO1 Round 2: New Command, NIX, Adonis, Elsinore, CollarDreams

A eliminates 1, B eliminates 2, A eliminates 1, remaining map is the map selected.

BO1 Round 3: Nuance, NIX, Elsinore, CollarDreams, CampLinfort

A eliminates 1, B eliminates 2, A eliminates 1, remaining map is the map selected.

BO3 Round 4: Adonis, NIX, Elsinore, CampLinfort, Nuance, CollarDreams, New Duku, New Sprinta, New Command

A eliminates 2, B eliminates 2, A eliminates 1, B eliminates 1, A picks 1, B picks 1, remaining map is TB.

Each round was initially slated to be a BO1 but it would be a bit of a disappointment to create a team and be eliminated from a tournament in just 20 minutes. Instead, we will be doing BO3 to start the tournament and to finish the tournament. The middle rounds will be BO1. The tournament will start at 3pm EST and we would like to allow ourselves enough time to finish the event in one day.

Maps will be selected via elimination on IRC. A coin will be flipped by an admin and the winner of the flip will decide whether they prefer eliminating as A or B.

Is everyone okay with this format? Are there any suggestions? The title will switch from "proposed" to "finalized" after we get some feedback. The maps are mostly new but there will still be some opportunities to play old maps with new twists in some rounds, as long as they don't get eliminated.

Good solution to the 20 minutes problem, I really like this proposal

[dev]

love the map fly by preview paco.

Maybe a losers bracket is a better idea? Or 10/15 minute maps? BO1 doesn't excite me very much, i rather play 2 maps even if its <20 mins/map.

zzz... I like the format and all but if your adding more oddball maps, or newer maps, then rune should definitely be included. All of last season this great map was overlooked and I am not sure if it was even played? I believe it should at the very least be an option here.

Expecting a lot of iCTF activity from PACO and rain to test these maps out. Don't let me down, fellas.

[InfamousRaider]

[Darkside]

YAY.

This community is aids and i'm happy some people still give a fuck.

Start time?

[PACO]

Played NIX today and I found it to be very fun. The pace is a touch chaotic but even me and Darkside were able to somehow hold it down on defense. I see a lot of potential in this map. Kudos to Einheit.

[rain]

Start an hour earlier IMO, 2pm seems like a better time to have things start incase we run into any potential problems.

[csnafk]

Where the fuck is CTF-Football? can't even include the PUB GOAT?
