  1. Up until the very recent post on RP.com, I was completly unaware of this tournament. However, I think it looks a little bit tempting, and I wouldn't mind trying this tournament out for the fun of it. My mind,however, is wondering as following;
    For me, this will be a new experience in which I as a european will be playing (obviously?) on the Azeroth server. During the days of W3CUP, I had the impression of the garena client being used very rarely. Will that be the case here aswell, or is it possible to instate the garena client as a rule if one of the parties demands it?

    Thanks in advance,
    Nitrospell

  2. With all the advances in warcraft 3 hosting now days, with vck/dr/garena all that stuff, I don't feel lag will be a problem.

    I've done euro tourneys all the time and it used to be very horrible with lag (back in the w3cup days of dinko) but recently the DR/vck hosts have found the right amount of latency to where i don't lag very much.

    Yes garena can be used, but I'm sorry but if one player doesn't have it and you do, you will have to play on bnet. But I'm sure there will be many vck/dr hosts there to host for you.

    Thanks for your interesting in the tournaments.

  7. LostChild-, the reason I made this comment in the first place was based on your exact thoughts. I am fully aware of the fact that the players from Azeroth and Lordaeron are forced to play on Northrend. That's exactly why I made the comment - to find out if a cup arranged by the Azerothians would be different.
    Indeed I am selfish, If I do not wish to play with 100 ping. That is my decision.

  8. come on euros, don't pussy out because of a bit of lag. heaven forbid a mighty euro be humbled by a weak american. prove that euro is better on any host. and, in any case, playing on your own host and refusing to play on opponent's host is basically the definition of bad manners.

  9. I am uncertain if the comment above was directed at me directly; However, this has nothing to do with being a .. pussy. The players from Azeroth and Lordaeron made the decision of playing on europe with higher ping. Their decision doesn't concern me. I shouldn't be blamed for their decisions. I realize this is a game after all, and it's supposed to be fun. Tournaments and cups that are arranged are what makes RoC fun, no doubt. For me, however, it is impossible to play with higher ping. I guess it's a sense of ... taste.

    Calling this matter bad mannered is completly wrong. I do not want you guys to have the wrong idea about me, I am simply saying that garena would solve all problems. But as Fro politely responded, garena will not be a guarantee here. Following, I will at least consider entering the tournament. I believe that is entirely up to me, and this should not reflect back on me as being bad mannered, since that is based on someone else's decision.

    Sorry for taking up space in this comment-section instead of possible questions and thoughts about the tournament.
    By the way, thanks for arranging the cup, it is desperately needed in the small community that RoC has.

    Thanks again,

  10. no problem at all.

    Sorry for the rude comments of lostchild/anonoymous. I understand your situation, but I just can't guarantee there will not be lag. Ill try to get some feedback from the euro people during this tournament and ill let you know how it goes.

    Thanks for the feedback nitrospell.

  11. Yeah, I think these turnies on east will be good for europeans, especially on hosts with vck and dr, hopefully there will be enough hosts so europeans and americans can both have a low ping.

    maybe we can get some europeans to host on azeroth so there will be no lag

    ReplyDelete
  13. If i'm out early, or waiting on an enemy, I'm from east and i host games on europe all the time without any problems. I can host for europeans if need be.

  14. should b interesting only it starts 6am saturday for me... how is the tournament going to be structured? will it all be played straight.. is there anyway i could come at 8pm b.net time?

    ReplyDelete
  15. i just noticed the time, 6am a sunday means 8am for europeans, just after a saturday night during holidays. I think that will be kinda funny since i have an electronic festival who will ending at 5am :D
    I will be ready to win.

  16. nah nah fredo it will be 6pm saturday for you the reason its 6am for me is b/c i live on the other side of the world.

    ReplyDelete
  17. its 6pm sunday fredo, not am...

    I tried to make the time good for euro and usa. Its afternoon for usa, and evening for euro. Instead of dinkos tourneys which were early for usa and afternoon for euro. Hope this clears things up.

    And as for you ceron... you can't show up 2 hours late, the tourney will start right away.

  21. ahhhh sorry slayer, i just thought you wanted to play cause you left your account name.

    ill remove u

  22. lol i have only been in one tournament and it started at 2am for me... i guess thats why my track record isnt that good, i'd prefer a change considering most peoples minds turn off after 1am...

    ReplyDelete
  23. if a tournament started 10pm Bnet, 6pm EST i would most probably win the tournament... cant you just seed me to the round, i can get up at 8am which is still real early o.O. how can you have a proper tourni without all the best american server players being in it.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I can't make a tournament time fit for everyone ceron... I'm not changing it for 1 man.... my tourney time is great for both europe and usa. 10 pm would be extremely late for euro to play... if they get far in the tourney they would be going to bed around 1....

    I don't know what to tell you man, just set your alarm clock a little early and wake up -.-

    and I don't understand your statement about "all the best players" not being able to be in it, I think your the only person thats complaining about the time at the moment ceron, thats just 1 player.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Well man its not that I wouldnt want to play, I have something that I may have to do tomorrow and wouldnt want to bail. But thx

  26. the other tournys like ESL1 ESL2 and other replayers tournaments are some uve been in and didnt make it near finals... just wanted to correct you ceron.

    ReplyDelete
  27. there's 27 players signed up at the moment, so 5 players will get a bye and have no game first round. just let ceron get 1 of these 5 spots. this will give him a little bit more time to show up. of course the fairest thing is to randomly select who gets the byes, but giving ceron a first round bye is still pretty fair and it's an easy way of at least trying to accomodate him.

    ReplyDelete
  28. ceron is a good player and very capable of winning this tourny. but this is not a valid reason for giving him priority. giving good players high priority is elitist and tyrannical. all players should be treated equally.

    however, ceron is a very active member of our small community. unfortunately, his location and time zone make it difficult for him to game with us. so i think he deserves a little leeway as one of our warcraft brothers. this is a valid reason to give him a first round bye.

    > this is a valid reason to give him a first round bye.

    i disagree, just like u said all players should be treated equal. its not like uswest players get leeway when playing on europe tourneys
