8 teams, 16 players. Each team must have under 2500 summary rating (we're looking at a Global rating).
1st round - survival
4 teams on crazyrush map (2v2v2v2). Only 2 teams... SURVIVE. When two teams are eliminated, game ends, two surviving teams go forward.
Can there be some negotiations behind my back? Will there be some SCANDAL about 2 teams making hidden FORGED ALLIANCE? I don't know. It is prohibited, but... survival of the fittest.
Two games of that kind (so 4 teams
DIE , and 4 teams go to 2nd round).2nd round - space
4 teams are entering hostile environment on Asteroids map (2v2v2v2). Resources here are DOUBLED (x2 res mod). Only one team leaves the map ALIVE. This team gets a point.
Then a second game is played. 3 teams (2v2v2), same positions, but the team with a point is not here. Where are they? They are waiting... For their enemy to EMERGE. One team from this 2v2v2 survives. And they get a point.
Both teams with points move on to the... HOLY SH~
FINALE
We'll get two teams here. They will FIGHT for 4 wins. Who gets 4 wins - WINS LIFE...
1. Just a 2v2 on Twin Rivers. No big deal.
2. 2v2 crazyrush.
3. The Pass with restrictions (see attachment). No land, no air, no t3 artillery (t2 artillery is allowed), no support, no TML, no nukes. SACUs are allowed. Basically you can upgrade ACUs, use engineers, make t1-t2 defences, shields, and SACUs. Ravagers are off. UEF shoulder drones are off.
4. Corona Spaced. It's like Corona, but without water - it's in SPACE.
5. Astrocrater with x2 res. Who can cheese best? IT WILL BE SEEN...
In case of even score, later maps will be DECIDED by a blood-thirsty mob of online viewers.
Terms and conditions
In all situations where a judge will be needed, I will judge it all. Robogear will help me to JUDGE. All those maps and situations are already played and tested on my tournaments, so I don't think any unusual judgement will be needed.
The tournament will be played live, and it will be streamed live (my YouTube channel). It begins on 18:00 GMT+3 (Moscow time) on Friday, March 24th. We won't be able to play it all in one sitting, so on Friday it will be two first rounds. Finals would be on Monday 18:00 GMT+3 (Moscow time). My streams are announced via YouTube beforehand, so if you subscribe or check with it sometimes, you'll see when a stream will occur in your own time zone.
If you attach yourself to this tournament, then you agree to participate during those streams.
Signup is here - http://challonge.com/tournaments/signup/pJDluRg2WZ. Remember - you sign up as a team (single entity), then please post here to tell us what is the team, and what players do you have. If you don't want to sign up on challonge, post in this thread (both players are required to post), and I will add you myself.
Be creative with you team's name.
Half of PayPal donations from stream will be given to FAF development team. You can donate on my stream when it's live (links are in description, russian one and PayPal international one). For a donation on stream you get to write a message and order which song to play (I play all songs during my streams).
If there's a possibility to make special avatars for the winning team of Gladiators #1, that would be cool.
