2x2Tour 2018 - Interest declaration - vote on maps and type

[makmak]

24 players gives 6 groups of 4.

Assuming that admins can support the model you propose - that probably is the case- the model you propose is meaningful only if we expect more than 20 pairs

So how many pairs of participants are expected?
Warbarons 2-2
Fejak 0-2
Black knights 2-2
Hadesha 2-2 ?
LOK 1-3 ?
Good Guys 1-1
No Pain 1-2
G Old Ones 2-3 ?
Others 0-2 ?

The above estimation results a number of participants between 11 and 19

That's why 16 pairs are proposed.

If we had an indication that more than 20 pairs of participants would join we could look into increasing the number...

[fantastory]

You are right
Lets start with your proposition.
16 teams, 2 days per move
we will see how many would join

[makmak]

Let's see if there are alternative proposals on maps

[makmak]

I wrap up before contacting Snotling:

2x2 tournament - Group stage up to semi-final, 2 advancing
16 couples - Start date 1st October
Days 2 - Start Aways 8


Maps:

Round 1
Daradorn Valley by KGB

Round 2
Rivalry by Piranha

Semi Final
Europa III by SCIkick

Final
World of Midgard by Tim

Play off map:
Digital clover by SoulMan

If there are suggestions for the above maps to be replaced, consider chosing among the maps below:

Four Lords original by KGB
High Seas Combat by Snotling
Illuria balanced by piranha
Hexagon by Garvisus

If there are no requests to change the maps in the next few days I ll contact Snotling with the above info

[Chazar]

The HadeshaNatives will send at least one team, maybe two.

I am not so sure about the balance of the Europe map. I'd prefer 4Lords, but this is just a weak suggestion of mine.

[KGB]

I just took at look at Europa III. It's not usable. The 2v2 setup is 'random' which is almost certainly going to produce wildly unbalanced starts causing teams to lose due to no fault other than bad starting spots.

If you want a large map for the semi final then there are plenty of others to choose from where there are set startups for 2v2 or only have 4 players.

[makmak]

ok lets replace the semi final map
@KGB:
I dont want to chose among plenty please name a map

Chasar made a weak suggestion for 4 lords, my only concern on this is that this is a second map from KGB on the tour among 4 maps

Would Illuria balance North vs South be ok or I go with 4 Lords ?
Please name a map

[KGB]

Makmak,

I'd go with Battlefield. It's a large map and it's nothing like any of the other 3 being used in terms of heroes, units, strategy etc.

If you want a medium size map instead then go with 4 Lords. Yes, it's used in the 1v1 tourney but only as the final map so only 2 players are going to actually play on it.

[makmak]

Ok Europa is replaced with 4 lords original

[Chazar]

I love 4Lords!
