P.s Congratulations developers and contributors on another awesome job

Different game speeds has been an interesting gameplay experience. However, I would like to note that in TD (Lacking knowledge in other games) Can cause some imbalances to happen. IE: Nod buggies building in 4 seconds while humvees build in 5 seconds.

Doesn't seem to be much of a problem with the exception of taking defense structures into mind along with the recent change to MCVs.

MCVs now building at 0:48 seconds as last release and defense structures building in 0:12. AGTs at 0:25 and Obelisks at 0:25.

Despite balance questions, im not against faster however fast speed becomes more of a benefit to higher skilled players
so the skill gap may be more noticeable between players of similiar skill

Sorry, but could you give some very simple short info about tourney for people who didn't follow it last time, How big the teams are? Which mod are we talking about, cnc or ra? Thank you.

You can search the forums :p

Here is the last years: http://www.sleipnirstuff.com/forum/view ... hlight=btt

As you can see its just 2 big teams playing team games and 1v1s across all the mods.

Im really looking forward to it and I hope I get kyrylo as my captain again. Without his stern leadership, we never would have achieved that incredibly close victory

Kyrylo will not be an option for this tournament. we will take nominations for team captains as always

I'm putting myself forward, thank/blame Ripsn. Still fairly new to the community, keen enough anyway.

Big Team Tournament 2014: 37 matches in 6 weeks - tournament cancelled

Big Team Tournament 2015: 61 matches in 1 week - great success

Big Team Tournament 2016: 100 matches per hour - broke OpenRA

Accurate graph is accurate.

Is it possible for this tourney to be held in august, so it doesn't cross schedules with my RA Tourney in July?

August would fit well. In between Doomy's Tournament in July (finals on the 31st) and the launch of RAGL season 2, 5th of September.

i would like to make it public that i would be putting the player Murto up for nomination of one team captain. i think he would fit the bill nicely and do an outstanding job. i hope to see that supported. =D

Why not have a few deputy captains as well, that can also initialize games? This will reduce the dependence on the team captains being online all the time, and makes it easier to play more games.
