Which player declares first in G2 is not clearly expressed in those rules. basically reversed roles from the first match. In: Events Central
Thread: ESL Go4COH2 cups5 Jan 2016, 15:19 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jan 2016, 12:01 PMA_E ESL rules update: 1. General Settings - Starting Locations fixed - 2 player Map Allies (1) / Axis (2); 4 player Map Allies (1,2) / Axis (3,4) 4. Observer Settings - Observer Mode: On - Observer Delay: 5 Minutes - No Bypass Delayed Password http://play.eslgaming.com/companyofheroes2/europe/coh2-tbf/major/go4coh2-europe/cup-1/rules Yes we made some changes yesterday night. I also wrote a new with the changes. Another one is the one with Map / Faction pick in the BO3 New Map pick rule 1st Match: Winner of coin toss gets first pick of faction. Map is determined through ESL’s Map Veto System 2nd Match: Players swap factions and play on the same map as the 1st match. For example, if the coin toss winner first played as Axis they must now choose from any of the Allied factions. 3rd Match: The player with the best Victory Point score after two matches gets first pick of faction. Map is determined between players in the in-game chat. Players with worse Victory Point score gets first veto. and last one is that you now need to enter your steam id which you can find out on our steam id finder Here is the news: http://play.eslgaming.com/companyofheroes2/europe/news/262318 In: Events Central
Thread: ESL Go4COH2 cups4 Jan 2016, 22:44 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jan 2016, 15:08 PMluvnest There are 2 player 1v1 maps (like Kholodny Ferma, Faymonville Approach, etc) and 4 player 1v1 maps (Semoisky Winter, Crossing in the Woods, etc). So if you have fixed starting positions you also have to tell the players where Allies or Axis factions have to start. Here is an example of how it used to be for the last major event, Operation Charlie Fox: Your colleague ShadowDraft told me yesterday: That would work aswell of course. Is it always 1,2 for allies and 3,4 for axis on every map? In: Events Central
Thread: ESL Go4COH2 cups4 Jan 2016, 14:25 PM Jump back to quoted post3 Jan 2016, 19:51 PMluvnest Good games overall. The Best of 3 map/faction choice system is extremely shitty though. Basically losing the coin toss is a major disadvantage since your opponent can always counter pick. So if you lose the coin toss in for the first game and lose the game, you basically get counterpicked twice which is not fair at all. Why not use the orignal set up where you change positions and faction in a BO3. Btw, the fixed starting postitions still didn't have any additional information which was a shame. Apparently the guy with the map choice had to pick the side aswell. Could you explain the starting positions a little bit more? In: Events Central

The one point I would take issue with is the seeding. I think you should use everything you can (including the kick-off results) to seed the players. Randomly seeded single-elim tourneys don't present "new chances," they just create bad tournaments, where good players can knock each other out in early rounds. When this happens, and it will, you will have skewed seeds for the next tourney. It sounds like a mess. I also don't think you should reset the seeds each month. Just continue using the information that you have. The better the seeding, the better the tourneys. I agree that with a random seeded single elimination tournament that sometimes good players can kick each other out in early rounds but good players will move up in the overall point rankings in a month and still have a shot at the monthly final. While new / not as good players will always face off against the very best and lose in 10 minutes and are out. This is very demotivating for new players and will make them not play anymore. Thats why I reset the seed rankings every month. In: Events Central
Thread: ESL Go4COH2 cups30 Dec 2015, 13:13 PM Hey guys, The KickOff Cup was intended to get the playerbase used to the ESL Platform (how to contact your opponent, entering results etc). It was also a test to see if we might end up using the Swiss format for the regular Go4s but I think that won't happen because the time duration of a standard CoH2 match varies too much. For the Go4 is planned a single elimination bracket with BO1 until Quarterfinals then we switch to BO3. It is a one day tournament. The seeding will reset every month so that the first Go4 in every month is random seeded to allow a fresh start for everybody and new chances. After the first cup of the month we will use points which you receive for the seeding Starting positions should be fixed for the NA Cup, too. I already messaged the guy responsible for the NA cups. If you have any more questions let me know. In: Events Central
