Taco Tourney Ideas (Open to Criticism as Always)

Hello world, I am returned to suggest some simple ideas that you will likely object to entirely, but they seem logical to me.

For starters, vote for captains? Maybe bad, whatever, not important. If you are a captain, don't be a jackass, please and thank you.

Next, I petition for new teams. If we're going to pick teams, pick teams right. All 4 team captains get in a party, look at a list of 20+ available players for the tourney who WANT to play, and pick from said list, not from your homies at the diner down the road. Pick as if you were in a private match lobby with a stupid amount of people. Best players first. Simple enough. It is not difficult to get 4 people together at once, this tourney won't work if we don't get 12 people online at once, so 4 people should not be difficult.

Basic rules to follow are mainly the "traditional rules." No juice machines, no bot buying, 20 minute matches, turrets in starting two nodes only. I suggest to get a truly "skill only" experience out of our potentially last tournament, we turn Bot Punching off. Ludicrous, I know, but we will get more raw talent that way instead of a bot punching competition that proves nothing.
As far as maps, no Spunky, Grenade III, and a new concept, no Steel Peel. In Spunky, bot lanes are too close, too far apart in Grenade III, and in Steel Peel it is too difficult to shove out spawn campers, by the way, doesn't count as a real talent. Ammo Mule and LazeRazer are sufficient enough. The only maps that allow a push and a shove and will keep the matches interesting.

These are just a few ideas I think are logical to make everything fair. I assume if you strongly object you are likely on a stacked team and refuse to change it because heaven forbid you have a challenge. If you mildly object you are likely too impatient to wait an extra couple days for more balanced teams to form. Either way I'ma hop in a similar mindset and say I'm right, listen at me good.

I'm just wanting this "last" tournament to be one we don't forget. Glaze over the details and donut tell me I'm wrong. You know that they're valid points. Whatever happens, good luck to all, thanks for reading. ~Taco out

Go for it.

Let's finish the tourney we have first.

I pray to science you're not trying to be a troll. Obviously speaking of the current "tournament" that you've tried to over-complicate. With aw' due respec' massah.

I disagree and also don't feel like I'm on a stacked team. Taco, how many draft tournaments have you been a part of? All of them failed horrifically. Look for some of my posts in the tournament thread regarding why.

Apathetic wrath is on the list. I haven't seen him in PMs for like a year, despite messaging him. Who gets stuck with him? We now have to pick a player who is around less than just about everyone.

Back when we had like 8 captains and 8-9 players per team, we only managed to play maybe two games in the first round and then it fizzled out. Next one was pretty big, and again played one round and it died.

I seriously think out best options is to balance captains, and allow them to pick their own teams while not trying to be a **** and stack them. I think right now we have the best chance of completing this tournament.

This community let's me down at every turn. You'd think one day I'd learn.

wrath is on our team...
also jake is on our team and maybe knives for a sub.... depending on weather jake or wrath show up...
thats another problem is people not showing up or responding for weeks at a time.

people who play this game daily or weekly are the ones you want playing..

I personally really have no opinion concerning which idea is better but I think that those people who are more incline towards the previous idea (captains picking whoever they want) then you guys should be more proactive and actually attempt to get things going because we all know that mnc is a game where people wait for other people to make decisions.

heres a link to the first draft tournament.. https://forums.uberent.com/threads/mnc-draft-edition.5450/


there were maybe 1-2 matches played, not rounds.
