1v1 Clan Challenge {winners: Empire}

by **danryan** on Sat Feb 19, 2011 9:12 am

I based mine off the strength of 1 v 1 players. Empire, ID, G1, Legion, and Nemesis all have very good ones and they were my top 5.

Its definitely interesting to see the rankings. Some based on a perceived 1v1 strength, others on clan strength. The lesser known clans tended to finish towards the bottom but that doesn't mean they can't impress and win a round or two.

All clans should have their instructions at this point. I see 3 of the 4 war threads are up right now. I'll PM the 4th today to see their status.

Since this is more of an NHL-style system (as opposed to a normal bracket) it's harder to show how it will progress since it re-seeds after the first round. But here's my unofficial response. Leave it to Bart to correct any mistakes.

First Round
(5) Imperial Dragoons
(12) The Fourth Crusade

(6) ++The Legion++
(11) Kill on Arrival

(7) Mythology
(10)One Step Ahead

(8) AOD
(9) The Devil's Brigade

Second Round
Matchup A
(1) Empire
Lowest Ranked Winning Clan from First Round

Matchup B
(4) Generation One
Fourth Lowest Ranked Winning Clan Seed from First Round

Matchup C
(2) FOED
Third Lowest Ranked Winning Clan from First Round

Matchup D
(3) Nemisis
Second Lowest Ranked Winning Clan from First Round

Third Round
Winner of Matchup A
Winner of Matchup B

Winner of Matchup C
Winner of Matchup D

Fourth Round
Winner of Both Third Round Matchups

So to take it one step further, chalk would be:

Round 2
ID v G1
Legion v Nemesis
Myth v FOED
AOD v Empire

That is an insanely good matchup across the board, actually. I can't pick a winner easily in any of those. And I don't know that chalk is safe in round 1, since DB just narrowly beat AOD in a challenge.

It really is tough to tell, especially as 1v1 plays very different than team games. Would not be shocked at all to see some big upsets here early.

Though I understand the purpose, you didn't "fix" it, as you would be playing EMPIRE, not G1.

Curious, why is Clandemonium and King's Court listed under the unlimited forts rule, but barred from use in the "no beta maps"?

:ugeek:

IcePack

long tournament, kings court should be released from beta pretty soon, and clandemonium might make it for the later rounds too. just my guess though :geek:

by **barterer2002** on Wed Feb 23, 2011 9:24 pm

Right. They're not currently available but won't always be in Beta.

by **dowian2** on Wed Feb 23, 2011 10:31 pm

Due to the format of this tournament (each clan sends their complete set of home games 2 weeks apart), I'm just curious as to what happens if a beta map comes out of beta in the middle of a challenge. Would the second clan be able to use it?

Just want to get the question out there before it happens and there's an argument

Couldn't the first team just make sure that the player who was wanting to play the new map takes that game as an away game?

Not in the rare case he's used his 5 games for the current round(s)/challenge

Or if he wanted a different a map (if more than 1 are released at the same time), or more likely settings, while less important, would be different

by **barterer2002** on Thu Feb 24, 2011 11:04 am

Lets keep it fair. Maps that are released from Beta during the middle of a challenge (after Team 1 has started its process which we'll determine to be the Friday before games have to be sent out to Team 2) will not be eligible for either team.

by **barterer2002** on Thu Feb 24, 2011 8:00 pm

Looks like all the games for the home teams all got joined perfectly in time. Great job to all involved.

Got mine on time too :lol:

by **barterer2002** on Thu Mar 03, 2011 3:52 pm

OK all the classic sets were done on time this week. I note that 1 challenge has already played (active) its Team 2 home games, one other has created and is in process of joining and 2 are still in need of some creation.

by **barterer2002** on Mon Mar 07, 2011 7:52 pm

Just for scheduling purposes, I'm anticipating that the next round will begin on the 21st of March although it may need to be pushed back to the 28th if this round doesn't get finished by the 18th or so.
