Thread: GCS Balance Preview23 Apr 2017, 10:48 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2017, 18:24 PMAustralian Magic So the third game between Von and Burmie clearly showed how awesome and well-thought was the decision to revert pzfaust changes It was like 6-7mins without any counter to M3 Good times coming for SU T1 Didn't build a raketten very early did they? There is no problems with OKW being slightly weaker vs. soviet in very early game, these changes will mean we see less fast luchs cheese and more from all tiers of play for OKW. They just have to be more careful. Wait until you've seen more than one game........ In: Lobby
Thread: GCS Balance Preview23 Apr 2017, 10:45 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Apr 2017, 10:40 AMAustralian Magic And now OKW has no chance vs well-played M3. T1 followed by dshk is a dead end for OKW. Not to mention that Mech Truck was killed again by that change. Plus I don't buy this "no chance". All you need to do is to kite, keeping your M3 or M20 at distance without diving and standing next to Volks squad. I think OKW having the faust reverted was perfect for this reason. It highlights the terrible design flaws of OKW (that still exist to this day), and will hopefully mean the balance mod guys can be allowed to be drastic with OKW. In: Lobby
Thread: Grand Championship Series Opening Weekend22 Apr 2017, 23:46 PM This just in thanks to some very generous donations today it looks like the kickstarter is going to hit 6k! To celebrate we are putting more into the prizepool. It has now reached. Prizepool: 1st: £1,400 and trophy 2nd: £650 3rd: £300 4th: £140 5th - 8th £60 each Bonus awards £50 each: Best newcomer RNG award Non Meta award Note: Rule of thumb is that roughly 50% will go into the cash prize pool. This still leaves a lot of room for expenses and the grand finals live event which will be a fantastic party for the whole community. In: News
Thread: Grand Championship Series Opening Weekend22 Apr 2017, 12:55 PM There was a comment that I saw earlier asking about why the prize pool only equates to roughly ~50% of the kickstarter money at the moment. I can't remember if it was on here or somewhere else but I'll answer it anyway to enforce where we're at with that stuff. This tournament will be 100% transparent with expenditure and all information will be made available, however with being in talks with venue holders, and also possibly sponsors for the live event finals, the truth is I can't be accurate as to how much budget I need until I know myself. We we will have some really cool stuff to spend money on in the coming months, and you will also notice this tournament already has a lot of cool assets in place like the GCS battle planner which is being funded by the project and will ensure the rules and map pick faction selection stuff is all public, easy to understand, and cool looking. Qvazar made that. But that's one example of expenditure to improve the quality of the event past just monney for the players and for their air travel. (which btw could range from something like £50 for hans or £500+ for vonivan, so I have to leave budget available. Hope that all makes sense! This has all been said before btw and is freely available information on the kickstarter, through stream content I've spoken about this stuff loads, and through the tourney hub. In: News

Thread: Grand Championship Series Opening Weekend22 Apr 2017, 07:52 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2017, 05:47 AMAmiPolizeiFunk Not sure why you compared the prize pool of OCF to the total amount raised for GCS. :/ OCF total amount raised: $10,864.50 OCF total prize pool: $5,432.25 GCS total amount raised : £5,561 ($7,127.53) GCS total prize pool: £2,320 ($2,973.54) This is the correct GCS prize pool, right? Going off AE's post from 1st April. Don't know why there is an arbitrary cap on the prize pool. Relic made a similar blunder with WCS. Watching the prize pool go up before the competition begins is an exciting aspect of crowd-funding. This article was written by Yukiko as I personally have too much on my hands, I think she did a good job, and I think as always her articles are done with enthusiasm and humour. I wouldn't take comparisons too seriously. There are caps in place because we are organising a live grand finals and quite frankly I don't know the exact budget I've got for another 20 days. So therefore can only dedicate what I think I can to the prize pool. All money for this tournament goes into this tournament though, so there's room for expansion in all aspects. In: News

Thread: GCS Seeding Released19 Apr 2017, 21:55 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Apr 2017, 21:43 PMAmiPolizeiFunk brutal Jesulin 10 seed! I'd say he's in the bracket-of-death w Luvnest & Aimstrong. Yikes! These old guys are very difficult to seed, former tournament leviathans. I straight up pestered them about their practice levels and they were both pretty candid, reflected in the higher than expected seed for Aimstrong and the lower than expected seed for Jesulin.

Thread: GCS Seeding Released18 Apr 2017, 22:52 PM The seeding has been done for the Grand Championship Series. Match schedules for those that will be playing this Saturday and Sunday will be going live in a few days, and there will be a proper COH2.ORG post soon to go into detail on all of this. This post is a quick update so the information is out there. It will be expanded on. Here are the full brackets. On the players tab you will find all the seeding information and the numbers that went into it. Here are the placement results based on ELO scores given to players based on who they won or lost to. How it was calculated. Here is a video: showing some of the work that went into creating all this. It took a mathematical approach based on creating the best seeding possible based on several factors: automatch rank, placement results, tourney wins in the last two years, and then the top players were repositioned based on organiser judgement after consultation. No seeding is ever perfect especially considering the challenges involved, however I'm confident that these seeds will produce a fantastic tournament for all to enjoy. Tough draw for you? If you're a player that's coming up against one of the 'big boys' in the first or second round I urge you to see it as an exciting challenge. G.C.S. was always going to be a stacked tournament with most of the top 100 in automatch entering, and several big players coming back into the game, it has produced a very stacked tournament.
