share some more details. The initial return will feature a
weekly casual tournament of varying parameters and generally
smaller team sizes. This will get our new Tournament Admins
some experience running the show and collect some fresh data.
Once we're a little more comfortable we will work towards the
restoration of a regular schedule featuring more classic 7v7
action, clan-oriented Call to Arms style tournaments, etc etc.One thing I'd like to open up for discussion is whether or not you guys think 1v1s can work without Mittengard. The best alternative available would be... Mines? We've already asked for the little one back but there's a lot of maps in the pipeline right now. Let us know what you think will make it run.
dance210: Can 1v1s work without Mittengard? Yes, if you are willing to
make some adjustments and not stick with just standard mode. I
worry about doing a 1v1 where both teams can go different ways,
miss each other, and a team can't get back to cap fast enough to
reset or engage the enemy. The EU team has regularly been
doing 1v1 (and 2v2) tournaments using Encounter maps, but they also
have 7 min matches. IMO, the biggest consideration for Encounter
maps would be the length of time needed to cap, but that could also
encourage engaging the enemy not capping the base (or be adjusted
for in the planning stage). A less happy option would be to
use attack-defense maps Pro: You are guaranteed to have a winner
(well, except for rare fringe cases) Con: One team is assigned to
defense and they just need to keep the other guy from capping or
killing There are two caps....defending two caps with one tank on
some of those maps *shudder*
