Are the proud Sponsors off... The First GEEKSHOT TOURNAMENT !

POSTPONED!

INFORMATION THREAD
So I had seen the SC2 tournament stuff lying around on the forum and was wondering if anyone was interested in a tournament on a different game, such as one of the Counter Strikes or any other suggestions?

I was thinking everyone who is interested puts there name in; then 4 player teams are randomly generated. There maybe a $1 signing fee which goes into a pot (& to cover server costs)...

But anyway if you have reason to tell me this is a bad idea please say, or if it is not allowed just removed it.

Regards,
Tym.

Sounds like a great idea. Maybe something like warsow? I suggest that as it is free and also cross platform for win, mac and nix.

lazerpointer · « **Reply #2 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 17:14:22 »

Count me in! I'm fairly good at CS, or any other first person shooter.

Luke · « **Reply #3 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 17:19:41 »

Well I'm not a SC2 player but gaming tournaments and servers sound like a cool idea. If anybody's interested I could run some tournaments free (maybe TF2, Minecraft or CS) as I have Windows Azure servers in Ireland

Well if you were interested in sponsoring us that would be great!

I'm down for an FPS tourny, not the best but I enjoy them. I bet Arson would be down as well.

The_Beast · « **Reply #6 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 17:25:22 »

Anyone interested in a BF3 tourney? 4v4 squad rush.

I might be able to provide a private server

Yep, no problem

Maybe some day we could have a big match with a $1 joining fee and then get Keycap trophies for 1st 2nd 3rd and then donate the rest to GeekHack.

inteli722 · « **Reply #8 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 18:05:25 »

I would be down for a tourney in a game I have without a prize, just for fun

Definitely not minecraft. I could do TF2 or Xonotic. Maybe some 8v8 action in MechWarrior if we can figure that out somehow.

vun · « **Reply #10 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 18:27:02 »

I'd be down for a 1on1 in something like Warsow, or a team tourney in something like CS or TF2, although I don't really see me participating as I don't think there are enough European players to make it happen here, and I'm certainly not participating in a US tourney as the lag would be a killer.

Tym · « **Reply #11 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 18:27:32 »

Fair few suggestions of games here, keep 'em coming! I will put up some sort of vote
Soon and I have some large plans of which involve something...LOGIC!

I'm sure we could sort something

like a 3 kill handicap

iArson · « **Reply #13 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 18:43:55 »

Well regardless of the game, or of the region for those who can't or don't want to participate I will stream it for those who want to watch. Should be fun to get everyone involved, even those who don't have the game or don't want to play

inteli722 · « **Reply #14 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 18:50:38 »

I really suggest people look into Xonotic for this. Fast paced Quake style shooter for FREEEE!

Great for 1v1 matches, or it can do team stuff if you want.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #15 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 19:41:54 »

I like last man standing. Basically you set up deathmatch with no respawn. It's quite easy style as you don't really need to keep track of anything, there is just a winner. Maybe set up with a best X out of Y games to have a longer tournament.
Is it possible to have the server in I don't know Greenland or something, then the ping will suck for pretty much everyone and be fair lol.

verbhal · « **Reply #16 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 19:44:38 »

Black Light Retribution go go.

bear95 · « **Reply #17 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 20:02:32 »

We should compete against another forum

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 20:17:40 »

Ok, I will play for deskthority

lazerpointer · « **Reply #19 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 20:23:17 »

I like that idea. Team GH FTW

inteli722 · « **Reply #20 on:** Mon, 11 February 2013, 20:45:17 »

Yeah. I could do a DT vs GH grudge match!

If we're doing that...then no Xonotic. Everyone knows all that if Koreans practice Starcraft, then Europeans practice Quake-style games!

Same, I think something like TF2 is our best bet. Because everyone has it and if not they can get it for free

Warsow is awesome, and unlike TF2 it doesn't take up a boatload of space.

Quote from: verbhal on Mon, 11 February 2013, 19:44:38

Black Light Retribution go go.

Not the worst idea, but that'd rule me out unless I created another account. It refuses to recognise my login info after I changed password, when I look at their forums I see it's been a problem for about a year now. Not pleased.

inteli722 · « **Reply #29 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 06:26:22 »

I'd rather see Xonotic than Warsow, honestly.

4LI4Z · « **Reply #30 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 06:39:26 »

I'm in, especially for CS.

metalliqaz · « **Reply #31 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 06:42:09 »

I don't really play video games anymore but I used to be pretty decent at Quake3Arena. By the way, that game is free and cross platform, and it's a REAL game.

from what I can tell, Xonotic is a lot like Quake, but special in it's own ways...plus

Center Aligned Weapons!

4LI4Z · « **Reply #33 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 08:00:37 »

Assault Cube would also be a good choice, it's free, it runs under Linux, the gameplay is intuitive and aiming and movement are crisp.

inteli722 · « **Reply #34 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 08:11:09 »

I'll try that, but I'm still hoping for Xonotic. I like Center aligned weapons.

You get the same thing in Warsow. Though it really doesn't matter which one; Q3, Warsow and Xonotic all seem to be pretty much the same game with negligible differences. I do prefer the look of Warsow, though. If you turn on the simplified competitive textures it still looks pretty good.

Chau · « **Reply #36 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 08:32:04 »

Is anyone interested in UT3? A really fun game if you can get used to playing like a jumping bean on speed.

4LI4Z · « **Reply #37 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 09:23:24 »

CS would also be a good idea, everyone loves CS.

metalliqaz · « **Reply #38 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 10:05:39 »

Problem with CS is that you have this huge divide with really good players on one side and complete noobs on the other. Very hard to find a middle ground.

4LI4Z · « **Reply #39 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 10:09:11 »

I don't think so, just make some random teams or Europe / 'merica, something like that.

inteli722 · « **Reply #40 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 11:34:33 »

I'd probably say UT3, Xonotic, Warsow, or Quake3Arena. now to take a vote on which one people want the most. I'd probably eliminate UT3 unless you know where you can get it for free that's not pirating.

So that leaves Xonotic, Warsow, or Q3A.

Tym · « **Reply #41 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 11:52:31 »

Ill leave the space for suggestions up until say the 15th of February ?
Also adding a list to original post... If I have missed something please tell me.

I would rather have someone who ISN'T playing stream it, so we can get that tournament HUD.

iArson · « **Reply #43 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 12:02:43 »

I wouldn't mind not playing of it means streaming. I only would want to stream because I have resolution options on twitch. Those with bad Internet can still watch.

inteli722 · « **Reply #44 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 12:03:33 »

Listed Games thus far:

Warsow (Website)
TF2
Counter-Strike (paid game)
MechWarrior Online (Website)
Xonotic (Website)
BlackLight: Retribution (Website)
Quake 3: Arena
Assault Cube
Unreal Tournament 3 (paid game)
Battlefield 3 (paid game)
Gears of War (paid game)
Tribes: Ascend (Website)
Doom (Website)
Nuclear Dawn (Website) (Paid game, but Internetlad (added name to people list btw) has keys to use for it, so it's essentially free)
America's Army (Website)

I don't think a paid game would work THAT well, but if it's the majority's choice, then sure, why not.

He's right. You don't want none of this. I'll clean house with a Scout.

We should add gears of war 1. Just to see who the real men are.

inteli722 · « **Reply #48 on:** Tue, 12 February 2013, 15:17:29 »

Updated list with iArson's suggestion.

I do think that we, if possible, should host multiple game types. For instance, we could have a best 2/3 match for different types of games, like CS, TF2, MWO, Xonotic/Quake style game, RTS, MOBA, etc.

This sounds good because then people who don't play some of these games have a chance in something they do know

But this could get quite complicated if we have to privately host said matches xD
