Hecthor Doomhammer's 1 vs 1 Tournament 2017

[Hecthor Doomhammer]

I must apologize for my behaviour the past couple of days. I've had a lot to process.

Starting this upcoming Monday I start a new job that will allow me to work full time during office hours, for the first time in 3,5 years (1.5 of which I was unemployed) and I'm a little stressed out about having to change my whole life's schedule for that.
On top of that there are some mild frustrations with me still not being financial indipendent despite the fact I've paid off all my €7000 of debt in April. Thee are certain limitations I need to get passed but that's only possible starting August, given that the Court approves.

And then there's this tournament.
About the whole Master's Seed. I just completely misunderstood But now I get it.

I've been able to process a few bits of incoming information regarding pretty much everything (inlcuding RL related) and I'm ok with announcing the Master's Seed, if SoScared is still up for it.

Good stuff, hope things work out. In general I'd say try to step back for a second before responding annoyed, especially against people who help/support you with things. Thumb up for apologizng.

[SoScared]

Understandable. There's nothing worse IMO than not being in control of ones own economic affairs. Seem like you've been consistent as of late so keep at it and things ought to improve with time.

I myself enjoy the simple things and I can see how that seed misunderstanding (as per discord #lobby logs) would make one hesitant including it.

Absolutely up for a Masters' seed!

[Hecthor Doomhammer]

Now that I fully understand the whole Masters Seed ordeal, I will make a video about it announcing it
and thus makig it official

[SoScared]

Sweet!

[Hecthor Doomhammer]

Can the one in charge of the OpenRA Facebook page and Twitter page please promote my tournament?
I do hope we can get 32 players

[noobmapmaker]

Try the IRC channel. Dont know who it is, but he will be there.

[SoScared]

I have access to FB. If noone has done it by Tuesday I'll give it a go.

[Hecthor Doomhammer]

thanks

Will "convert" the RAGL servers to the Tourny servers next week.
We should get the passwords and the whole shabam sorted

[Hecthor Doomhammer]

The whole password ordeal will be handled later this week, as right now I'm trying to gather info about the players before seeding the bracket.

The registration is now closed and we will have a 16 player tournament, allowing us to keep to the original schedule.
Perhaps next year, if I'm still around, I should just announce it as a 32 player tournament from the get go.

[Hecthor Doomhammer]

I've aleady PM'd the passwords to Jazz and FiveAces.

the post containing the final bracket will be made tomorrow as I'm only waiting on Corrode to answer my PM (although his profile tells me enough)

btw, here is the final bracket, with estimated starting times and a bit of explanation on what is expected from the participants

[Hecthor Doomhammer]

Alright people. 3 more days and it's go time.
The final version of the bracket is up and all players have been informed about their starting time for their first matches as well as their respective passwords.

Tomorrow I Will host 1 Final stream to hype it up, starting at 18:00 gmt.

Before anyone asks, and before there are any complaints in-tourny:

Passwords are only there to act as the first layer of protection against unwanted spectators. And with unwanted spectators I mean EVERYBODY (except the two battling contestants + officials). In order to guarantee a smooth ride, there will be NO exceptions.

I repeat: NO SPECTATORS (besides tournament officials) are allowed.

Contestants as well as casual viewers are meant to watch the stream instead, when they are not playing themselves.
