then maybe he should be with smellyorange


(no offence smellyorange)

perhaps we should wait for expansion?  oh and if you guys want it go to gogamer.com, it's prolly gonna be like top 3 cheapest for expansion, and alot of other games too.

Uh I actually can play now untill June 15th I belive. I vote a very large...

NO!

for the waiting for FT to come out. It will take me probably 3 months to re-learn all the stuff. If you guys would like to start the tourny now it would be fine with Aqua and I. I think late entries should be accepted if we start early.

Soooo....

I will volunter Aqua and I, The Kung Foo Wizards, to take the first match. Any challenger team is fine. After the match I will email Wang/Groid my replay and I will also start a new thred showing results/scores.

Sound good?

i need a teamate dam y do i get here late for everything this sux dude if there is any1 out there that is decent and needs a partner im there can i bring some1 from out of ma clan to be my partner pleaz email me the rulz if i can or cant and smurf thanx i need a partner ma.darkelf

There is an available spot with Wang now if anyone wants to join with him.

Rules are this:

2v2
best of 3 maps
map played will be Crucible (sp)
normal other stuff

Cool?

Ok...after thinking.....sounds good.

Here is the OFFICIAL maplist:

1st map is Lost Temple
2nd map is Stormguard
3rd map if neccessary will be Crucible

I don't really care the order you play the first two maps in, but the 3rd map will allways be Crucible.

Make sure the settings are normal settings that we usually play at and send me a saved replay from each team.

TEAM DEADLINE WILL BE CLOSING SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DEATH TO STROMGAURDE, I WILL NEVER INSULT MY ARMIES BY MAKING THEM SET FOOT IN THAT DAMNED AND HORRIBLE MAP!!!!

Cyberpawz and jhota wanna team up?

like lost temple, like strom.....but crucible being the only choice for the third......

why not have two extremes to randomly choose from....really small 2v2 and cruc. RAND in an excel spreadsheet for the number of days this may take. and post here the day of the match what the final map will be.

letting each pair of teams decide on a different map list for every match, will not allow for a level playing field where everyone can match wits rather than just map familiarity.

Rock On McDonald's!

I mean some characters can overwhelm you with just 2 minutes of play... (the undead)

Well... it really depends on how good you are.  If you know what you are doing and have good micro skills then you should be able to beat back an early onslaught.

Actually even with micromanaging, which i use to be very, very good at, the undead can swarm over any opponent in less than 5 minutes...all they need to do is create more workers, and they can pump out enough of a large fighting force to overwhelm anyone...

the Undead are *ahem* deadly because of their initial attack and growth capabilities...

The humans are good at defense, but the undead are initially better due to the fact that their own "houses" attack anyone within range...

You work with what you got, but overall, for speed, Undead, for Defense Humans, for Magic, elves, from brute strength, and some good def, Orcs (although they are the slowest, to create, and the most to upkeep)

There are too many variables, although I can guarantee the first few times I will probably loose in a tourney, we need to set down some guidelines...to have a decent "handicap" for those who are not great players...

I thought that the idea of a tourny was to show off our skills... Really, if you think that you will do this badly, then why play? I'm not trying to be rude or anything, I just dont understand.

This is my personal opinion but, I think Aqua is right about the micro'in.

Example: I was playing one time with my cousin. We were both NE and we were playing 2v2 random ladder. We were up against a duel ud team.
Now of course they mass ghoul duel aura rushed. And wouldnt you know it, I was the lucky one who got attacked.
Because of the way I placed my buildings, when my cousin warped in we not only beat back the rush with just a few hunts a piece, 2 dh's and an archer or 2, then we counter attacked and won the game.

On the same token; A friend and I play duel ud sometimes for fun. If there is ever an elf we always duel aura rush them. We have been beaten back a ton of times.

Now, I'm not the best player in the world but I can do a pretty decent rush. So it really is all up to micromanagement of your units. That will decide every battle. If you want I have a replay I could send you of a guy named Cicel who plays NE. He is the best micro'er I have ever seen. In the replay he beats back mass ghouls 1v1 with about a 1/4 of the units. His heros are lower level too.

Anyways, it is just my opinion and you have yours, but I think that the idea of a 2v2 tourny was so that people couldnt go, "Aww, he is soooo much better than me... It was unfair...." Because it is 2v2 you will have to rely on your partner, and work together to win.

When I use to play I was always playing online, me against 2 bots, so I know I could kick the crap out of people on average, it's been a while, but with a little brush up I'm sure I could do the same thing...

My issue is this, I know what it is like loosing all the time too...there are some players which are just virtually unstopable...and some that are born to loose...lol...

Not that I mind, and I am willing to give a chance to see how good I really am, but the issue with me is that most tourneys I have been in, or competitions in general for WCIII have had some form of guidelines...

ie: no rush, or no rush till after 3 min time limit, etc to give those who are average players to at least have a semi chance.

Every tournament I have ever been in, RL or online, has always had guidelines... as in JK:II one tourney was a no kick tourney... and no real powers, you relied on your saber. different game different rules I know, but you get the gyst of what I am staying I hope.
