Weakest Link Tourney (3 v 3)

both even! I may also cast but I need help from you to be there on time.

Help from me?

I'm experience neither in tourneys nor in casting. I don't know if we would be casting live or with the replay file, rather on youtube or twitch. what times ect.

Ah Ok, well I've never done any casting either so I'm not sure I can help you much there. Oath and Brian do quite a bit of this so they'd probably be able to give you advice on what software to use and so on.

Brian usually records and uploads to youtube later, Oath I think usually casts live via Twitch- either would be fine.

If you're playing you probably don't want to cast your game live (as theoretically your opponents could tune into your stream for some extra intel ) so I'd suggest you record the game and post it later? I'll add any videos of the event into the OP as and when they're available.

As for timings- basically have your casting software ready to go and turn up for the event (ideally 15 mins before we plan to start). I've just had confirmation from Oath that I can use the PACE teamspeak server as a meeting point for this one. Just as a reminder, the time will be 6 pm UTC (adjust accordingly for your time zone).

So if you lose a commander your team loses? That the general idea?

Kinda, it isn't a given that you can't win if you loose 1 commander- however you're going to be at a disadvantage as it will become 3 v 2.

Ah cool. That's fine. Otherwise it would be snipe cheese heaven. Classic 3v3 tourny sounds great. Most likely will play as I like this kind of competition. More fun.

Clopse want to do a three generals strat? One bot one air one vehicle?

.

Aah damn I'm away from the 4th - 6th

Sounds like a lot of fun, hopefully we'll field a good promethean team.
Presumably you won't be playing cdrkf?

Hope it comes off well, I'll be interested to watch the casts.

Yeah I think it would be better that I try and keep things going rather than trying to play at the same time...

I spoke to Commisioner Holt and Cmdflop on TS yesterday and I think they're going to try and put a team together.

Brian and Oath are down for casting, and it looks like Tasjub and WPmarshall are going to record their games so there should be some good videos after this one

Looking forward to this tournament. I hope we win

Great initiative! Cannot participate, though. Looking forward to more 2v2 tournaments in the future!

You are flattering me
But i m not good anymore with the rebalance.

I'm often out the week end especialy with the summer. a next time maybe.

Don't worry you have been replaced (probably nowhere near as good)

don't undermine yourself!

And yeah, @SatanPetitCul, most definitely!

Ok Commisioner Holt has just made a very valid point: As we are playing non-shared teams there is an oppertunity for abuse of Sepcating + Teamspeak.

I have a simple solution which hopefully everyone can agree on:

There are slots available in the PACE TS channel so each team can have their own TS (very useful for team games). However once a player is eliminated it is their responsibility to ensure they leave their teams dedicated TS channel and return to the main lobby. That way they can't be giving away intel to their remaining team-mates. The only other option would be to request that dead players leave the game.

Anyone have any other thoughts on this?

There was no total vision during one of Metabolical's casts, and I just tested it with some AI (remained on team vision and couldn't change vision settings) However, it does grant the spectator economy/army panel, which is still some information leakage.

I can maybe cast too.

I am not to keen or fond of non shared team armies seeing there is still some stuff to
be worked on. Can we get a pole on who would prefer shared armies as apposed to non-shared armies?
