YES.

thanks. i'll use this for reference in future.

i'll say this for the last time: you talk as much as you want, as long as its not too loud. i'm sure you wouldn't want to reveal too much to your opponent.

nope, 8 is fine otherwise it'll be too long.

i'll start practising to say ouch! ouch! ouch!

if you wish to change players, notify us ASAP. or you'll be one man short in your team.

hi all, i've made some updates to the rules.

do go check it out on the main page!

do try to notify your friends if they're playing.

i'll be sending an sms to all team leaders later to update everyone, just in case.

random draw man... leave it fate.

i'll look into that. thanks for highlighting it. but i have to admit that my marshalls new jack shit as they were supplied to me by a 3rd party. i had no other choice... but this tourney will remind me to get more experienced marshalls. i would want to get CoD4 gamers to marshall but everyone's so keen on playing.

thanks for understanding. most annoying were the public/spectators accessing the servers. i couldn't enforce a password system as it was troublesome, communicating to all the teams. i am already losing a little of voice as of this morning. should get a voice hailer (is that how its spelt)

btw, which one was u? n, i wanted to joke about Dead6's team name but i didnt since everyone looked so Dead serious....

will consider. i might have a mamak session with everyone interested to determine an update on the rules sometime later this month.

anyhow, the finals quarter, semis and finals are happening later. it's going to be an exciting match and i have been asked to record the final matches. let's hope i'll be able to since the recording will require EVERY individual player recording it.

LIVE UPDATE:

Bracket 1
ATS vs ESP2emo = ESP2emo wins TDM and S&D (1-8)
ESP3ego vs Fusion = Fusion wins TDM and S&D (7-8)

Bracket 2
ESP2emo vs Fusion = ESP2emo wins TDM and S&D (8-6)

now this is going to be one MAJOR reply

yes, i would need more marshalls. lemme even see if i can get some makan budget approved from my bosses.

it was good to see a fresh team like NRA being able to hold it out against vets like Fusion.

i definitely take your opinions into mind. when i earlier drafted the rules, quite a number of online tourneys were ranked based TDMs. S&D hadn't appeared yet.

no trouble at all. i had fun and it was my pleasure getting to know al of u. just wished i was marshalling so that i could talk more cock.

TQ and it will, it will.

the rest is up to you guys. hope to see more new faces in future.

geez, u guys were like roadrunners. like players on steroids...

sorry mate, i didnt take down the TDM scores. in fact, i only took the scores for a few of the last matches but in the excitement i forgot about the final match's TDM score.

thanks for your observation Falk. i couldnt agree more. I had 3 game modes to see which would have a a better and more competitive gameplay. TDM was more of a run a gun, skill is essential but teamwork will help. S&D is like ol CS, only difference was the side switching, giving teams more equal opportunities. HQ is a variant of TDM, but because too few teams played it, i couldn't assess how well the game was.

it's going to be a tough decision!

i lol-ed when u guys saw NRA using a calculator. Slayerz wasn't it?

i'm still trying to figure out how to broadcast as an admin. i had trouble talking to 'live' players during S&D when Team Only spectator mode was switched on. in fact, i was fiddling with the admin commands a day before the tourney and managed to get most of it to work. phew!

as for the tournament settings, i actually discussed with several people on this and so far these settings were fairest. but there's always room for improvement. thanks for the feedback!

as for champion barring, as a Malaysia i know how many M'sians are easily demotivate when seeing a reigning champion playing over and over again. simply look at M. Schumacher... i stopped watching F1 because of him!

i personally would not want CoD4 to be similar to CS. one of the key important criterias in making e-sports more successful is for the spectators to understand the game more. TDM was pretty simple, S&D for CoD4 was easier to understand compared to CS as it displayed scores, but the round intermission could be confusing.

my other rationale for introducing 3 game modes was to encourage more people playing different modes. i hate to see it end up like CS when everyone ONLY plays de_dust... i had asked the ESWC organizers on how many teams participating in CS this year round... there were only 8 inquiries and not confirmed participation. plenty of room to improve and thank you for the analysis.

i sure hope to send a team and win something back!

hopefully the WCG and all other tournaments will consider CoD4.

the blitzone tourney will still be done by me. its currently slated for sometime at the end of June but will be confirmed.

new era of FPS. i like the sound of that, thanks!

i'm glad everyone did.

SWL really had a lot fun. i've never seen a team so jovial in my life. glad u all enjoyed urselves.

n before i end this really long winded reply:

apologies for any inconveniences caused. i know some teams had wait friggin long as i wanted to finish each bracket rather than continue it later in the evening where there would be even more tired teams. no matter how its arranged, some teams will end up waiting.

i'll have passwords in next time. but spectators will be a no-no in future unless monitored from the server or monitored from a proper spectator.

lastly, thank you for all the feedback and comments. it's been great pleasure organizing and meeting everyone in this tourney.

and as for the Eclipse keyboard, i'll announce after im done sunning my clothes. didnt do laundry over the weekend!

oh man, this thread is getting hard and harder to catch up!

anyway, the next tourney is slated sometime end june, do spread the word and once i have it confirmed i'll announce it!

but never gets to enjoy.


whoa, ur thinking VERY far ahead. sadly, Malaysians in general do not recognise e-sports at the moment and in fact many still regard cyber cafes a famous drug haunt. ignorant malaysians...

btw, my photos are up here:

it's not how fast your car goes, but how much guts you got to floor the accelerator.

nah.... he took it already. he offered me more than u did.

nah, just kidding. S.S.B. Tiger Balm was the lucky draw winner.



the Saitek Eclipse Keyboard winner, initially planned to be given to the top fragger but had to do it this way as it was far too much work. sorry about it. to those that didn't get it, fret not. plenty more at the upcoming Blitzone tourney this 5th and 6th July.
