This post has been edited by Jas2davir: Apr 29 2008, 03:51 PM

no prob. the main thing is we have FUN!!

Somebody show me where is Subang Parade I wana join as a part of LYN++

LYN++ has about 3 groups if i'm not mistaken

r0r1 also has a few active players

so that's 4 that i know of..

in any case, team kHz is ready

so that's 5 within my knowledge

subang parade....hmmm if im not mistaken its near gaylors college....

and one of them needs a plane ticket.

Not only that, his sig needs editing. It's TOO LONG!
anyways, we can always sub him for Sunny Lim

plain tickayt only RM50.

not only that, you need wider monitor

isnt sunny lim in australia?

Linkin...u me do a PUG for the tourney wan?

u wanna pug with pubbers?

might as well go FFA ._.

Unlike some other ppls that are rich enough to get an LCD screen, I still stuck with a 15" CRT. Unless you feel EVERY ppl in malaysia can afford a widescreen, then stick to the damn rule of sig must not SCREW the forum at 1024*768. Kapish?
Bisa diatur

Sunny worth 35 kambings

ala, ye la ye la sori bang.

Awesome~! [pT*] are interested to join this competition. Finally an official TF2 competition on our shores!

Well we already have the tournament drafted with prizes and such. However, Online E-Club would also like to see if there will be any teams participating. Which is why we are asking here. No use to make a tournament but no one joining.

reserve 1 slot for cyber cafe 7 pls

so have u got your answer or what?

i don't think all the local teams comes to lyn anyway...

Hi, you might wish to review the scoring system for dustbowl and gravelpit, the scoring system that you have stated seems to be based on the old scoring system.

If Sun doesnt go in who wants to import FRUITLOOPS !

are u planning to disable crits and how about the new medic weapons ?

If there is spaces I'll go.

i'll definetely try my best to come.
will i have to bring my own laptop?because if i do,i have to bring a stand for it,and a big fan right next to it blasting off.
yep,my laptop cooling sucks,but its the best computer in my house...

which team i should be in?

come ask fruit loops join [r0r1] for this lol. Our other team member is in Sarawak and cannot come

so this tournament base on old patch or wut?? want to see ppl play at goldrush and detonate red base...hauhauahuaha...me interested, but have to ask my other frens..aiyoh...

Ah the rules are kinda outdated now. Do you have any idea on the updated scoring system for this tournament?


There will be PCs for the tournament of course.


The tournament is on the latest patch. Sigh, the new patch made it a little difficult but lets see what we can do to update the rules. As I said, any suggestions or if you guys have insight on any updated TF2 rules, please speak up.

source

yay,i don't have to bring my crap laptop (but it plays tf2 at 30fps maxed out.why does it have to suck so bad,but rock so much??)

um,can we make our own groups?because im arranging with my friends to go as one group to play together against othes.

yes dude. 1st time playing in a competition ? =D haha.
u have to bring your own team.

Some feedback from Singaporean teams about the upcoming tourney :
http://gamesync.net/forums/showthread.php?t=19382

Thanks for the links on rules guys. I will definitely check it out. Btw, I have updated the thread topic and first post for The Orange Box Party @ Subang Parade. Any more information on TF2 stuff (ie tourneys, competition rules) would be more than welcome to fine tune this.

waaa there is CS1.6 also aight.... =D

wow this sucks big time. everything on same day and time.

given the cs amateur with more prize money and same day as the cs eswc qualifiers, gg tf2

i wander if this is cs 1.6 amateur competition..
those pro like hybrid cannot enter rite?

how to register the cs1.6 amateur cup? is it register during the day or there is an advance register?

d00d, what if i wanna play both cs(eswc) and tf2 ? are the dates and time gonna clash ?

hehe

how much is the entry fee for a team?

yes how now brown cow

.. i just realized the qualifiers are on weekdays. gayy

i wanna play in the amateur cup

Pro teams won't be allowed to join the CS Amateur Cup, just like the last time it was held.

At this moment in time, we haven't decided what would the entrance fee be, if any. The registration window will start one day before the tournament until the tournament day, before the tournament starts (there will be a time for the registration period to end). We will post up the registration forms online so you guys can print it up and fill 'em and give it to us straight.

yay. lucky for me, im not a pro

What about those that wants to play both tf2 and cs?

those rules are from the gamesync league that is taking place right now.

the rules are meant to facilitate draws, hence there are no tie breakers aka stopwatch for dustbowl and gravelpit.
for this tournament i would strongly suggest the implementation of stopwatch (A tie breaker where the map is decided by letting the teams play another set, team which has the most points or captures all point with the fast timing wins).

I just want to make sure that the GameSync league format is 1 map per match right? I was reading ETF2L format as well and they are best 2 out of 3 maps on one match.

I'd rather go with the gamesync format instead of the stopwatch since it is more time friendly.

Regarding the question on people who wants to join both tournaments ... I think the answer is pretty obvious. We will not delay any matches just because one team has a match at the same time in the other tournament. Just like a pro gamer, it is time to weigh your options and make your decision.

pt* to join the tournament , anyone wanna "lan scrim" or scrim online please pm nullname on steam ! hope to see many there to support tf2 locally..

btw will there be crits ? issit a 6vs6 or 5vs5 tournament ?
http://multiplay.lowyat.net/wp-content/upl...geboxacg002.jpg
this shows 5vs5

http://www.asiancybergames.com/images/tobp_2008_1.jpg
this shows 6vs6

This post has been edited by pt_nullname: May 7 2008, 06:14 PM

can a team join both eswc and amateur cup?

for an example, team a joins eswc and lost then team a joins amateur cup.

ew no amateur cup in klcc? will this be the one and only amateur cup in 2008?

As long as it doesn't clash, fine. From the poster, it seems there will be one day of clashing. The specifics of the schedule is still in planning phase. We have a list of pro teams and players that will be ... refrained from joining the Amateur Cup.

woah great!

Added on May 9, 2008, 8:34 pmWah got 2 CS tournament ar?? I thought the ESWC qualifier is run together with the CS amatuer tournament..
If my team is participating in ESWC qualifier, is it possible to take part in the Amatuer tournament too?? and how to register for it?? and WOW the cash prizes is much higher compare to ESWC qualifier!! RM2500 while the ESWC only giving RM500!!

This post has been edited by ryo_ken: May 9 2008, 08:34 PM

We will release the registration forms online so you can make copies out of it and fill it up. The registration day will be one day before the tournament until the tournament morning. You have that duration to hand in the registration forms. At the same time, we will have the forms at our booth for you to fill up.

Concerning TF2 team size, it is decided that the tournament will be a 5vs5 instead because of certain constraints. So TF2 teams, please be aware.

This post has been edited by Koross: May 13 2008, 12:16 PM

Koross where can we get the registration forms from after you release it please.Give us the link or something and do we need parents to sign a parent consent letter or something like that Thanks.

its like changing cs from a 5on5 to a 4on4 -__-

any news on the restricted teams/players for the amateur cup ?

This post has been edited by NecrosavaNt: May 14 2008, 02:01 PM

When the registration forms are made available, I will announce it and of course the download links will be supplied as well.

Regarding the TF2 team format, yeah it sucks having to do it 5 on 5 but we are still reviewing this and seeing if 6 on 6 format can work with our limited resources.

As the other stuff, I will update the OP when such information will be made available.

i hope this time theres a better restriction list for the amateur cup. you can hardly call last year's top two teams amateurs..
1 team has like 3 XSM players and one from NBTD, the other has players from hybrid.. abit imba and unfair for the real amateurs.

i recommend asking people who are familiar with the cs scene to do the list, maybe ask someone like Auricom or nles.

if im not mistaken, i think auricom did the last list?

correct me if im wrong. lol.

I did do the last list, but it was subject to approval from my boss. His main criteria for players that were to be banned = Players that have never won a tourney before. Hence players that were in a team that got 2nd/3rd/4th were not filtered out. I did make objections and pointed out the flaws, but ultimately it was not my decision. If it were up to me, the list of banned players would have included many more players.

rofl yeah.

?___?

damn your boss dont wanna give noobs a chance

no update yet about registration?? my team cannot wait to take part in this cup!!

What's the comp specifications? Is it supplied with gaming mouse/keyboards/headsets? is it the same specs as the ESWC one with steelseries equipments?

still waiting for the update.

*coming to this section every one hour to check for new update*

5v5 tf2 is laik 4v4 cs =_=

anyone know how the rules and regulations for cs 1.6 in the amateur cup???? which map will be used??? or the rules are similar to eswc???

The CS 1.6 rules will be more or less the same with ESWC.

Don't worry guys, just train up. When we have finalized the stuff, I will post it up here.

Not gonna use back the AC rules ?

http://www.asiancybergames.com/Asia_Game_Z...eur_Cup_R&R.pdf [WARNING: .PDF LINK]

EDIT: Found the old AC thread, I think most of the nubcakes newbies would want to know the banlist for who cant play.

This post has been edited by Auricom: May 20 2008, 02:43 PM

Ok guys most of the stuff is coming together.

I have a question though regarding the stopwatch in TF2. It is for use in cp_dustbowl and cp_gravelpit when both teams capture all 6 points correct? How is this feature used to determine the winner then? Anyone can explain it in detail.

shortest time to capture the point win

wow last minute release the 1.6 amateur cup player restriction list. then we have to shuffle or change the lineup a few days before the tournament. thankyou

do i restricted to play in the amateur cup??? wakakakaa.
