Uber Cool Super Pro Epic Ladder Fighty Thing (UCSPELFT)

Uber-Cool-Super-Pro-Epic-Ladder-Fighty-Thing (UCSPELFT) [working title]

What is this?
For a while now I have been tinkering with the concept of 'invitationals', These are typically smaller, more curated events not exactly open to the public (hence the invitation part).
This is to be the first iteration of this idea that I intend to implement, and will take the form of the classic 1v1 best of 15 scenario.

How this works/Rules
Once a month I will select two participants to take part, from there terms will be negotiated between the two players and I as to how the fight will take place.
This will include but is not limited to:
-When the event will take place
-The map it will take place on
-Any additional mods or restrictions

Due to the close-knit nature of these events rules will be mostly handled on a case by case basis however both FAF's and FAF's tournament rules will be in effect where applicable.

Prizes
The winner of each event will receive this Tournament Winner avatar (may be subject to change) and a Steam game worth ~$20

Tips & Tricks

Spoiler: show

There are going to be two key elements I will be looking for in potential participants:
-Skill
-Activity

So if you want a chance at being selected, git gud and actually play the game.
Also do not PM me or tag me in posts about how I should let you in, it's more likely just going to make me ignore you.

With all that being said I will be beginning my search for the first two participants, when the details have been finalised they will be posted at least one week before the event is due to start.

So to answer questions nobody asked, I’m gonna provide some info on getting funding for your BO15 games:

Yes, I am willing to fund these “rounds” as though they were tournaments. I reserve the right to determine the cash quantity, obviously. I am also totally willing to withdraw any promise of funds if you want to try and be funny and make your games into a joke. You’re not gonna convince me to change my mind once I make my final decision so don’t bother trying.

So how do you maximize your chances of getting a prize for your round? Follow these guidelines:

- The games are between two competitive players. This means they both have a comparable shot at winning and they both are relatively high level players on FAF.
- The games are all taken seriously, as mentioned above.
- A map list is provided beforehand.
- A time/deadline/schedule is established for playing the games and the deadline is kept.
- All the games necessary are played (no forfeit after 3 games)
- The BO15 is played in a fashion where you do a BO3 on 5 maps.

With that, I’d like to state that I’m willing to give the Nexus/Adjux round a 20 euro prize pool!

The first ever UCSPELFT has now finished with a stunning 8-1 victory in favour of Nexus.
Congratulations, Nexus and well played, Adjux
Nexus has offered to upload his local replay files somewhere below this post for people to view because the replay vault is fucking cancer

For the avatar, please go yell at a moderator
For my half of the prize I am tracking you down at the moment
For the Council half of the prize, go yell at the Player Councilor.
