The idea is to create an event that takes advantage of all gaps in between CoH tournaments that go on yearly; to keep the CoH momentum going so to speak year round. Something that can be done every week whether there is a tournament going on or not. My idea is instead of a tournament that takes a lot more time, energy and resources to set up. Have something dramatically simpler and far easier to achieve on a weekly basis.
It is pretty simple (compared to a tourney anywho) every week (on whatever day is decided upon.) I or we find 2-8 players (leaving my options open) willing to go at it in a best of 3 or 5 depending on what there is time for that week. It hopefully have it livecasted on twitch (that would be the ultimate goal.) but a weekly you-tube video would probably be more achievable. As of now what you would win would be Bragging rights. To be totally honest I really don't want to make this prize orientated or have anything to do with money at all. Partly due to the format since its not a tournament not really fair other people that may have been passed up. also because I want people to play because they love playing the game of Company of Heroes. (unless ofc the participants want to put some money on the table.
)
my plan with the contestants is that I want to eventually be able to have players signup for this weeks match and then have a voting system so fans can vote in who they want to go at each week.
obliviously I would need help from at-least a few people to get this off the ground (a few being probably a large understatement.) I would be grateful for any help at all that I could get frankly without this idea doesn't have a chance at taking off. Heres whati would need help doing
Name
ive thought of a few but they seem to be already in use the day I aim to do this would probably be Friday, Saturday or Monday though im available every day of the week I don't know when a better time would be. So I thought id let you people see if coh2.org can think of a better name for this event.
Commentators
since im not a commentator I would need commentators the best situation I have 2 or 3 semi full time commentators but im not that unrealistic so even a revolving door of commentators would be okay with me so long as I could find commentators each week willing to whore themselves out for some publicity.
maybe I could pull off commentating but I've never done it before, though I do like yammer about statistics and other Bullshit like that.
Caster
if the show was to be live I would need one I think my computer is able to pull off casting in high enough quality really just a matter of if I can pull off all the other stuff you have to do like follow the game and work with the casters which again would be something ive never done. Probably be best to find one.
Admins/Refs
though I really wouldn't need much in refs as its only 1 match and pretty easy to maintain. If and only if the event were live I would then need some admins or mods as they call them on twitch to help keep the potential crowds in line.
thats all I can think of at the moment though I probably missed quite a bit. If your willing to help please contact me by posting, PM or on steam. If you have any ideas like a name for this or anything else please let me know below thanks for any help or advice ahead of time that i do happen to receive.
edit: Apologies for potential bad grammer and or spelling. I will be skimming over this in the next couple of days to fix any problems.
