Congratulations to Team Kyroly!! Holy crap that's the most persistent catchup I've ever seen in a tournament! And there I was 4 days back thinking this tournament was over. We had a few borderline "charity matches" along the way to support equalizing the score but overall the experience was completely unpredictable.

Nicely done and congratulations to everybody for participationg and helping this tournament to be the BIGGEST OPENRA TOURNAMENT TO DATE!!! 61 matches!??! :D

Thanks a lot to FiveAces and Hamb for sticking to a long, scheduled and dedicated streams! This is no small undertaking. While I could oftentimes lay back and chill during between matches, FiveAces was constantly scanning for matches to get the action going. There's no possible way for us to end up with 61 friggin matches without his constant turn-on for match-ups, every hour, for 4-5 hours, often past midnight local time, every day for 7 days! Remember (if I may say this) FiveAces has a dayjob that requires a lot of his attention off-stream. That's stamina folks.

Also, and I barely got to mention it the last stream day due to my slumber, big thanks to ConstructiveTyranny.com for running dedicated tournament servers across all the mods. This helped us greatly to collect players quickly in before every match. Players always knew where to find the tournament when they were ready to play. Constructivetyranny.com has a very friendly American OpenRA community of which I had the privilege to play with one day during a session of insomnia :) They enjoy wathcing OpenRA develop and have had the ability to follow the tournament live during hamb's stream.

A final big thank you to Ripley and every contributor to set up the tournament format and help with technical issues during our sessions, especially to jazZ_KCS for availing us his server for the replay archive and the very convenient OpenRA channel on his Mumble server.

We've loosely talked about how awesome it would be to have the Big Team Tournament as a yearly event, having the 2014 BTT as a successful "test run", the 2015 BTT a phenomenon surpassing all expectations, and perhaps, future BTT's that will just grow to include even more of our small thriving community.

Another great victory, for the people.
Cheers, SoScared

I hope that we did a good job by bringing ppl together, not only during the tourney, but in general. We wanted ppl to interact more with each other. Especially between devs and the playerbase. I think, we did a good job with that one...

I would like to take the chance to thank the hosts, devs, casters, helpers and - last but definitely not least - the players contributing to this wholesome and satisfying experience. A lot of ppl have been "working overtime" in order for this to happen. There are no regrets though. Not at all...

WE DID IT!

Thankyou Soscared for covering all the gratitude's. i second every single one of them
i will try and than everyone individually when i see you. buty everyone knows what large or small way they contributed, and OUR tournament wouldnt have succeeded without the combined actions of you all

61 freaken matches.

Everything surpassed my wildest ideas of what would happen here. apart from one very normanish glitch in our system we ran along fairly faultless

Congratulations to BOTH out captains. both of tyou were hard working and dedicated.
you were not obligated to put in the as much effort as you did, so it just goes to show the amount of dedication and 'love' for the game and the tourny you really did have.

FiveAces. you were by far the biggesrt Cog in our openra tourny machine.
noone will deny this, and i genuinely hope i have the chance to work with you and the ComCast team for any and all future tournaments i run.

To all the server and hosting members that Soscared mentioned above. a very big thankyou. a VERY big thankyou. a very VERY big thankyou.
technical mumbo jumbo is not my department. so it was nice to have people in the know on site for immediate problem solving (Jazz you da man!)

Spy & SoScared: the busy beavers of the streams and games.. i would like to offer you Both permanent tournament official status.

Pchote: your beautiful Forum. this is our Tournament home and its perfect. Thankyou.

hamb, hambone, h4mb, hamby hamberson jort jort. Covering our alternative time slot was no easy task, and a very big and very genuine Thankyou to your efforts covering a slow and difficult slot. adding your commentary experience to fiveaces streams, and generally helping out wherever you were

Clemb: my right hand man. he will tell you he didnt do anything, but that is horsecrap. couldnt have done it without you dude. thanks for everything. hope we can continue this team in the future

Finally to all the players
the most important rule for me was 'All players must work towards making this tournament a success', and that is exactly what everyone (well everyone except 1) did.
this tournament was not a success because of the management or the captains, it was a success because EVERYONE had the best attitude possible, even when playing well past a reasonable hour.
So thankyou all, everyone. yup, even you....YEAH YOU!

So to sum it all up.
Congratulations Team Kyrylo for a hard fought comeback and victory
And i can confidently say i will push for this to be an annual event.
Cheers
Ripsn / Ripley

Congratulations All!

Hi all,

I just wanted to pop in and say congratulations. That doesn't quite seem to cut it...one word... so let me expand.

The OpenRA community is something special. Not every game has a community like this - whether it's an opensource game, a free game, a fan-project or even a commercial release, this is one of those rare communities that it's a pleasure to get to know everyone you come across. It doesn't matter if it's a developer, or a youtube/twitch streamer or well known community members or even bumping into someone for the first time ingame, on Mumble or even IRC -- this is one of those great places to meet like minded people and have healthy, upbeat interactions -- something that is fast becoming a rarity in the internet world.

The fact that a community the size of OpenRA was able to band together, support one another, and participate in a week long tournament, and had FUN doing so, was immensely satisfying to see. From the games I was able to observe, everyone was friendly and having fun, win or lose - no toxicity!

So congratulations to the organizers, the casters, the tech folk, the team captains, the participants and developers! Those of us on the observation side of this tournament were treated to a whole lot of entertainment.

From me personally and from ConstructiveTyranny , I just want to say Congratulations OpenRA community!! We've got a lot of members that play OpenRA, and we are very happy to be a part of this community <3

Thanks to everyone who helped in making this possible!

It was an incredibly fun week; everyone seems to agree that the tournament definitely was a success on every level.
Really happy to see hamb and spy step up and livecast the American timeslot!

Apologies to my team and the audience for not being able to deliever a match worthy of a grand finale;
the week had been physically way more taxing than I had expected, and in the final match vs Kyrylo, sleep deprivation got the better of me.

Congratulations to my team who kept on offsetting the point penalties I imposed on them by taking on skewed matchups,
and congratulations to Team Kyrylo for being persistent enough to always keep up and eventually pull ahead!

I'm hoping to see more tournaments in the future; it is my firm believe that competitive events
are key to generating outside interest and expanding the community in the long run.

As you may have heard on stream, I've been in talks with Ripley and SoScared and we will host another tournament in spring;
this time, the format will most likely be a 2v2 Tag Team Tournament with a bracket elimination system and a pretty large prize pool,
so keep an eye out for the announcement!

Our livecast VODs are being processed as we speak,
but considering that we had a staggering 61 matches and I don't want to clutter the inboxes of my subscribers with uploads,
I may opt to put them onto the official OpenRA youtube channel instead,
if they allow me to do that.

With that in mind, be sure to check out SoScared's European Alpha League 1v1 if you are a fan of competitive Command&Conquer!

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

No worries FiveAces! I was alot into winning this tournament, but just before the end I learned a valuable lesson: it's not about who wins (SO TEAM KYRYLO SHUT UP ABOUT IT) but it's about the journey we make together.

I also learned this in the final match lol. BTW, if you ever find the time to upload your stream that would be nice FiveAces. I'd love to see some of the games back, specially the ones where you cast, play and lose all at the same time.... =P
