That has a nicer sound to it ;) In promoscreen you can put SLP funded MASTER CUP or something But tagging the winners name with SLP (unless its SLP then go ahead) seems odd.

Till some point should be BO1.. Then you can start bO3. Unless i divide brackets from EU and NA, I refuse to have bo1 games. For the sole reason i dont want people to feel like they lost due to a unlucky coin flip. The current rule i have for na vs eu matches seems to be the most fair way to go. Id rather not divide brackets due to the fact there could be 8 eu teams and 2 na teams or vice versa What if I wanted to donate cash would it be the SLP & Yaldi Masters Cup? If you want to donate to the prize pool. Your more then welcome. All $ is going straight back to the players. But no, The name will not be changed. This tourney is SLP's way of giving back to the community. To promote unity between the regions and competitive play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can consider to start earlier so we all the teams can play the most or start from Friday after 8PM London maybe or earlier up to the people, cuz I know most of us work. And really is good you are the organiser but none ever did this even Africana master cup hahaha... ;) highlight it down like "SLP op organiser" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And really is good you are the organiser but none ever did this even Africana master cup hahaha... ;) highlight it down like "SLP op organiser" :) I tried to make this event as fair as i can. Its earlier then the past events i believe. But if we make it any earlier its effects players on the west cost. The most i feel comfortable with is giving EU an extra hour moving the event to 12noon east from the 1pm its at now. I complete understand where your coming from but i don't want to force the west coast players to be on at 6 am. Its hard to please every one and we need all need to make compromises. But i feel we can make this work. One thing we all can work on to shorten the length of the tourney. Is really pressure the teams about having shorter drafts. While i have rules in place. There more or less vague guide lines. If we can avoid 30mins - 1hr draft times Like we have seen in the past and we see in normal in houses it will greatly reduce the length of the event. Also if you don't like the name I apologize. But next time you can make and promote your own tourney. :p 100% of the cash prize is from NA players. I could of easily made this a NA Server only event. But im trying to accommodate EU players as much as I can. No one can deny EU has gotten the short end of the stick in the majority of these tourneys. But the name is something im not going to budge on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EterNity Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Nice to see a clan step up their game and set up an event like this. I feel like some people in this thread are not contributing to the community if not hurting it. We're already a very small community that based on a game that ins't even stand alone nor over 3 years old. To help its success, we should encourge events like this and not the action taken by some of the community members in this thread.

Demiax Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I agree with You Eternity. Lets lay down with trolling and vendetas and help make this tourney what it should be: about bunch of us coming together and having fun. We are actually putting money from our own pockets to make it a good event. Lets focus on making it good for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get it twisted, i appreciate the fact that there is a tournament.But naming it after one of the teams playing is boastful. Either they win and its like we named it SLP cup because we were going to win anyways Or someone else wins and they are left with a akward title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydie Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Only took 4 days, Omg, what a joke... This tournament is for fun only, why are u trying to create conflicts? U are like that annoying policeman who can give a ticket for crossing on red light when street was completely empty. In the first case I bet yourself, Guz and potentially Zombiee would be doing exactly what my team have done. Yet when someone else argues their point they're classed as jobsworths? I'll mention this next time you guys decide to have a cat fight with Quidditch (probs very soon). Where are the DarKs brigade now? Too busy hijacking a thread regarding something TOTALLY different to the league - in which someone has taken the time to organise a tournament for the community and contributed their own money. Yet we as EU and DarKs players have the god given right to question their naming of the tournament? It's not like a tournament sponsored by a company is allowed to include the company name in the tournament title right? Unsuprisingly no one has asked to take this to PMs.. #DoubleStandards TlDr: I don't always agree with Quidditch but the behaviour by people here - and their audacity to not admit their wrong - is pretty unsettling. He's setting up the first tournament in ages and you reward him by being a douche to his face? I mean even I troll but I appreciate efforts people put in. This is why African left.. PS: The timing is a good compromise. The only Europeans who could argue they're disadvantaged are the Russians (4-6 hrs ahead of GMT) anyone else has no grounds, most tournaments have started 8PM GMT. Both sides are making sacrficies, NA are using up a lot of their working day and EU are going to have to stretch into the night a bit.

But still I hope that this tourney will have streamers that will keep the recordings of those streams alive after the end. Missed last tourney and only found 2 games out of 1000 that actually occurred on one of the streams...
