How is the scheduling for the different tournies going to work? I know some people that would like to enter both SC2 as well as some of the fighters, and maybe even some of the shooters. Since the shooters and SC2 matches take much longer than the fighters, will the tournies be running concurrently or will they be separated?

OKgamers staff members do a good job on allowing everyone to play in multiple games. We recommend knowing the guys that are running each event and stay in touch with them the entire event so you can know when its your turn and so they can manage the bracket to keep going.

I hear ya. I just wanted to bring up the potential issue that since SC2 matches take a LOT longer than fighting game matches, the fighting game tournies may get held up due to waiting on a player to finish their SC2 match.
In the mw3 tournament what size monitors will we be playing on and is it acceptable to bring your own monitor/small TV.
Thanks,
My team will bring 4 setups...
i can maybe bring 2. one for sureIf you can atleast bring consoles and disc you should be fine. I got monitors for MW3 setups.
Modern Warfare 3 rules & settings.Classes are unlocked in private matches already.

Also unlocking classes. Recommendations on what to do?
we do not use xbl in these, we use lan. in lan connection you have to level your own character up. I think the best thing we could do is just have a lan party. like at chaos in supulpa? or somewhere big enough.
You dont need to have a lan party. Just play private matches on splitscreen and level up.
Will there be a team tournament for Smash Bros?
Imagine and I will be there for GoW 3. Who else is GoW player??
Looking forward to this!
no, private match and lan are two totally different things. private match is based on your gt and so is split screen. lan is not based on your gt. i used mine at the last tournament and started at 1, as my xbl gt is like 4th prestige level 30

I used search and destroy because it will spawn the second player in front of you. Any gametype will give 50 points per kill. Just go for headshots with the weapons you want to upgrade and use the specialist killstreak for extra points.Then you get the m.o.a.b. for double xp.
For this tourney can you guys actually sell some water... last time u only had pop thx
anyone need a teammate for the 2v2. godbless
Me and a stickynote are coming for halo2v2. Were bringing our setups and a table if we need.Table not necessary. Setups.. awesome.

Well u could just boost for it(in splitscreen) and put it on a flash drive and bring it to the event
I was just wondering what the map pool will be for starcraft 2. Will it be posted somewhere before the tournament?
okay so im sure everyone already knows about the ok vs ark 5v5 in marvel. but ive been hearing that other states want to get in on it too. can someone elaborate on that if they know. which other states are interested, and who would be representing those states?
There will be numerous sticks around, just ask someone if you don't have one.I also only have a PS3 fight stick. So will there definitely be enough 360 sticks to go around?
no league of legends? :(
Can i come even if i dont play in it? i just miss going to LAN's lol..

For gamers new to the internet or competitive gaming scene - know every area gets random trolls; we've dealt with his kind before (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlZkTkUVpqk). The only ones that matter show up. If this cajun kid shows up - mad props. Till then, "just filter don't feed" is my best advice.What are the sponsored prizes? monetary? do they go to certain games?
The sponsored prizes are usually items and services and are as diverse as the sponsors; and every console or PC event is guaranteed some of them. We'll also be giving out door prizes from sponsors as well.
What game gets the most prizes? The ones with the most attendance pre-registered, to start with.

1) Somehow got redirected to another page when I logged in. What's the deal with that? (Some barcraft thread?)
2) I should be bringing 4-5 monitors. They should be going to Marvel/Street Fighter since that's what I told people in my crew to bring, but assuming we have enough setups for those, I don't mind lending them to Halo or whoever needs them.
you could crash here i just want to see if anyone in oklahoma can beat one character of mine

Good stuff. Now with that being said.... guys bringing xbox 360s you have to do the same!
I would personally recommend just forcing both teams to use the host's console to make their own "Default Classes." This only allows 5 custom classes per team and it'd take a little while to set in between matches since everyone has to put all their classes on ONE 360, but I honestly don't see you guys unlocking every gun/perk in split screen within a few hours. Even if you do, many consoles will have discrepancies with pro perks. Not saying my solution doesn't have that issue either, but at least everything is unlocked right off the bat and pro perks are only available to those who grind them out.
EDIT: Saif- if you could bring some HDMI cables Saturday, that'd be great. I told people to bring consoles and I'll be bringing some monitors. They're more or less new though so I don't have HDMI cables with them.
I have everything i need on my profile for mw3. I just put it on a flash drive and bringing that to the event. I recommend thats what everyone else does is just boost at home and bring a flashdrive the the event and carry it around with them
well, if there is internet there... we don't have to worry about it. Private match online if we do have internet.
don't do it. I always sell to people I know cheaper. If I hsve room in mycar I'll bring it. 100 sound good?I would personally recommend just forcing both teams to use the host's console to make their own "Default Classes."

Thats what I said Max end of the day they can thank developers for messing up the game I'm just giving options. Also if HDMI cables is needed I should have some extra ones. AND i'm about to buy your asus monitor I found on Amazon.com lol

In regards to the odd questioning of the map pool. ???
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/GSL_Maps
I am trying to use a combination of maps from the GSL & MLG
The GSL map pool is considered to be the most up to date and balanced map pool.
I included other maps for fun or got them from other tournaments. Not sure why anyone would only ever want to play MLG maps or would only ever take MLG in to consideration. I'm considering StarCraft 2 from a global standpoint, as such I will take consider first and foremost the leading StarCraft 2 league.. GSL..
Hopefully the changes made to the map pool sit better with some people.
Also if you've never heard of the GSL please do yourself a favor an become more involved in watching it, it's the top tier of the world as far as StarCraft 2 is concerned..
Thanks for the input everyone!So about sc2, the map pool still hasn't be released. Please announce them so I know what maps I need to pratice on

Totally.... Like we discussed today we got it all worked out and it was really cool getting to meet you and getting a chance to talk with you and move things along in the tourney! You're a great CL :D *Cheers*
We never used the flash drive accounts. The XRG clan did not let us use them, first 2 games we played we used our normal accounts Notloc918 and Oneshot2k9. Yes if we could have used them we would have, Yeah we paid him 10 dollars to use them but in all reality we never got to use them for an actual game in the tournament. So next time you include my name or others get your facts straight. First off you started saying things to the other team, which would include your entire "team". To be honest we didn't even get close to winning it anyway so why should it matter what we used. When you had to use the setup everyone else used you got destroyed. Sorry to say it, you lost. Taannkk and Dankyy won, fair. They won every single match with out a "modded" xbox/flash drive. Thank you, see you at the next tournament, with no flash drives? Awesome
Sorry Bro I even dislike the way this tourney was done... but the flash drive thing is legit and it solves alot of the lan issues that we have with mw3 if everyone had one or u had one with the software on it then there would be argument on who has what u cant get cause ur not a level 80... i am going to download the program and put it on a flash my self.... and the ban thing ur talking about is a glitch that was patched along time ago and yes a few were banned but that was modding there on-line accounts not making the set up for LAN expandable.... nothing i have found so far on the mp-data flash drive LAN mod effects any of the weapon skills or the ability to do anything special... oh and another thing i like that you run the tourneys.. but u don't need to let these XRG clan rooks try to change the way we have been doing stuff... the rules are not mlg to a T but u do try thanks for all ur hard work..... because tac knifes are legal in mlg the only pistol attachment band is akimbo.. just for future reference.... oh and we gotta set the stuff up and get stuff runing a few hours before the sign ups start

I'm missing my headphones that I'm pretty sure I left in the starcraft section of the event last night. They're Sennheiser HD280s, and I was just wondering if anybody picked them up last night. Any help would be appreciated.

First of all my LAN was ran fine... the only thing was wrong with it was the bickering and complaining. XRG didnt run nothing they gave me suggestions and so did other people gave me suggestions that were fair... period.. I let you guys run on your set ups majority of the time and only made things fair due to Modern Warfare sucks on LAN period. You ran with your Unlocks majority of the tourney right? OK so you dont have right to say I dont like the way this tournament was ran Timmy didnt drop the ball. You should be mad at your peers for not listening to timmy and unlocking stuff themselves. Your community did things wrong.. Ill fix it next time.. but not one person brought flash drives except normals so we gotta be on a level playing field. OK?

so i hear SC5 was... natsu vs natsu vs natsu vs natsu vs natsu vs...
Can we get results?
I have a lot to say about the tourney Saif and it's something we'll talk about in the future (or whenever you want to).
Overall, we had a blast. Tournies in Oklahoma are always fun for us and we always do our best to make the most of it. Were there hiccups? Yep. But y'all pushed through and every year this event continues to grow and thrive. I am proud of what you guys have done.
Great seeing everyone and getting games in with everyone and great seeing the organizers of OKGamers and HxC repping it for the community.
A few changes that everyone can agree on that I'll quickly address:
1) I know that information needs to be given in an effective manner, but having (what appears to be) a very angry person yelling at people and giving them attitudes is not the way to do it. I get what the one lady wanted and why she was trying to clear us out, but when she started making her sentences choppy I legitimately could not understand her. It's hard to "follow her orders" if we can't understand her. She also didn't make any sense. We were trying to leave and we were waiting on our last person to get his things and she tried to force us to leave. Then when I explained the situation to her, she told me to sit down? Definitely made for some unhappy gamers.
2) All tournies should be run on Challonge or Tio. Paper brackets for the SC2 tournament don't cut it when those who lost in winner's semi-finals get knocked down to first round of loser's.
3) See if there's a way to start earlier or stay later. Time was very tight and the most important matches are always at the end. Changing the rules of those matches (1 round only; ft5s -> ft3; telling people they can't finish their tourney) will always lead to very strong emotions.
Despite the problems that will always happen, you guys always manage to do a great job with what you have to work with and we'll definitely be back next year.

For real, and i mean really real, next year NEEDS to be 2 days, NEEDS TO BE, 2 days. Saturday and got dang Sunday. Get anything/everything to top 8 or 4 or whatever and than have it the next day. Especially with so many games out, and more coming. And this is just fighting alone.
Sammy - it was our first SC2 event; while it would have been great to do a SC2 event on a smaller scale first, the biggest issue is not every place has the space and connectivity of a college; so we had to go with it at this event. We are already more prepared for next time!For real, and i mean really real, next year NEEDS to be 2 days, NEEDS TO BE, 2 days. Saturday and got dang Sunday. Get anything/everything to top 8 or 4 or whatever and than have it the next day. Especially with so many games out, and more coming. And this is just fighting alone.
Until we see 500 to 1000 attendance, I don't really see breaking up the days; it'll scare away more than it will encourage from what I've seen. Not every gamer, hardcore or not can dedicate a whole weekend, I would think.
X A
There were some serious issues with how the losers bracket was run. It got started wrong, and we continued wrong until the very end. This will never happen again as long as I'm in charge of anything, and hopefully sammy and I will be working together to standardize what happens in Tulsa and OKC, as far as StarCraft is concerned. We will be hopefully be using the same bracket software, and adhering to the same standards, so that we can get a league of some sort going with a reasonably amount of consistency. I'm excited to be working with other people!
A number of things.
- From here on out, I will always, ALWAYS, use some sort of software for brackets. I feel that a paper bracket was the number one failure for our specific section of the tournament, It allowed for a ton of awesome games to be played out, with minimal issue, but the minimal issues are still something I would like to completely erase from this experience. The potential for errors otherwise is just too great. If Tio is reliablie I will use it. If it is not I will not. I want to integrate with the community on this one, but I need to research what is most stable.I've heard Challonge mentioned in the past and a couple of others. I will only continue to do what is best for sc2, and the players who compete in these tournaments..
- I will never, under any circumstances change anything about the rules, map pool, or otherwise, within a week of the event. This was shortsighted on my part and I apologize.
- All of the StarCraft 2 Tournaments that I help organize will use this constantly changing rule set/map pool:
http://www.okgamers.com/forums/index.php/topic,3942.0.html- The rules / map pool will adhere to a MLG/GSL combo that allows maps from both, and stays consistent with the global community... I'd like to tune the map pool down to about 6-8 selections or so, and no matter when / what / where these will always be selections from the most current MLG/GSL map pools.
If you're truly interested in sc2 you should be keeping up with both leagues, and also maybe NASL, ASUS ROG, IPL and a billion other super important tournaments happening all the time.
As the StarCraft 2 community lead I will always be available for questions or general discussion regarding anything that has to do with StarCraft. I intend for this community to grow exponentially over the course of the next year or so, and so will our efforts. Expect to see a lot about StarCraft II in the PC section from us!
I will post the complete info for the StarCraft 2 Finals (including streams and player info) tomorrow at about 8pm. Please watch the PC gamers forum for more info. Thanks again to everyone who helped me make this possible.
We should use binarybeast.com.... they have the easiest set up and you can do the most with it...... as you will see by this link. i did this in about 3 minutes with no list or anything just thinking of stuff off the top of my head.. so its super simple to use and is easy to handle. http://binarybeast.com/xSC2US1202270/full
Sorry Bro I even dislike the way this tourney was done... but the flash drive thing is legit and it solves alot of the lan issues that we have with mw3 if everyone had one or u had one with the software on it then there would be argument on who has what u cant get cause ur not a level 80... i am going to download the program and put it on a flash my self.... and the ban thing ur talking about is a glitch that was patched along time ago and yes a few were banned but that was modding there on-line accounts not making the set up for LAN expandable.... nothing i have found so far on the mp-data flash drive LAN mod effects any of the weapon skills or the ability to do anything special... oh and another thing i like that you run the tourneys.. but u don't need to let these XRG clan rooks try to change the way we have been doing stuff... the rules are not mlg to a T but u do try thanks for all ur hard work..... because tac knifes are legal in mlg the only pistol attachment band is akimbo.. just for future reference.... oh and we gotta set the stuff up and get stuff runing a few hours before the sign ups start
First of all my LAN was ran fine... the only thing was wrong with it was the bickering and complaining. XRG didnt run nothing they gave me suggestions and so did other people gave me suggestions that were fair... period.. I let you guys run on your set ups majority of the time and only made things fair due to Modern Warfare sucks on LAN period. You ran with your Unlocks majority of the tourney right? OK so you dont have right to say I dont like the way this tournament was ran Timmy didnt drop the ball. You should be mad at your peers for not listening to timmy and unlocking stuff themselves. Your community did things wrong.. Ill fix it next time.. but not one person brought flash drives except normals so we gotta be on a level playing field. OK?
CoD was really unorganized it started late and had nothing but complainers about levels and stuff(which yes ur right its the game developers fault) ill try to bring alot of flashdrives to the next event and just transfer the profiles on to the xbox hard drives. That will make it not only more fair but run faster and smoother.
This seems fishy,you tell u$ to bring flash to bring flash drives and we do. Then we get there and everybody is mad bcuz the didnt bring one. So then we get accused of cheating and my boy is forced to play another game which shouldn't have even been played bcuz they were accused of "cheating" it just doesn't seem fair to them that they were told they won and a bunch of haters complained cuz they were to stuipd to bring a flash drive
ok well the tourney was ran right but the fact that it wasn't started timely kinda F888ed everyone making the losers bracket only play one map is $hit in my opinion.. but i comend you on all u do Timmy I'm not knocking the way u do ur tourneys or i wouldn't show up to every one of them and enter... i have a solution to the flash drive issue i have the program and all the things needed to get flash drives foreveryone playing in the next tourney... the problem is i don't have the funds to buy 16 flash drives... make the next tourney mandatory that they bring a flash drive with a copy of there mw3 multiplayer saved files on it and i will make everyone an account and set it up takes no time at all to do.... or they can use default names like player1 or hxc1 that i can make on site... i can make it so that our LAN experience is alot better and the flash drives do work and there is no advantage as far as eating bullets or jumping high or extra perks its all legit... Timmy if you will text me i can def help u out with it i just cant get 16 flash drives on my own u know or i would... 918 812 6105 text me bro we can go into more detail them... thanks again okgamers the staff and the volunteers for putting on a great event...
the prestige set up that we have on flash drives isn't a glitch its a program made because of the LAN problem it doesn't effect on-line play nor can anyone get banned from xbox live or anywhere else for the use of it.. i got on xboxlive.com and talked to a tech to make sure the program is a non bannable item and he said that unlocking all the items in a private non internet based game offline for the purpose of lanning an event is unbanable and meets no requirement for ban unless it changes copyrights.. witch it does not... im going to try to contact the makes of mw3 and see if they have any info on an update that we may be able to get for the LAN players...
AnimeFreak - it's not about what will happen in REALITY - but how it will be assessed... If Final Round was 1 day, I'd probably go lol. People don't assess an event based on their real standings - they are looking at it like they'll naturally go to the top. If we offer a 2 day event, we'll scare people off I feel; I'm definitely interested in others opinions, but like I've said - if we aren't pulling in as a whole event 500+, I don't see the need yet.We should use binarybeast.com.... they have the easiest set up and you can do the most with it...... as you will see by this link. i did this in about 3 minutes with no list or anything just thinking of stuff off the top of my head.. so its super simple to use and is easy to handle. http://binarybeast.com/xSC2US1202270/full
OH MY. That's pretty. We need to add this to the list to review / test Sammy.
X A
I agree with it needing to be 2 days, especially if its a convention. Allowing games to be spread over 2 days would make things so much easier on everyone, not just the workers of the convention but of the travelers from out of state as well. If making it 2 days cant be done, we HAVE to have a less constricting time at the venue. Cutting games that are being played and have a competitive scene would be the wrong answer IMO.
Sammy - it was our first SC2 event; while it would have been great to do a SC2 event on a smaller scale first, the biggest issue is not every place has the space and connectivity of a college; so we had to go with it at this event. We are already more prepared for next time!For real, and i mean really real, next year NEEDS to be 2 days, NEEDS TO BE, 2 days. Saturday and got dang Sunday. Get anything/everything to top 8 or 4 or whatever and than have it the next day. Especially with so many games out, and more coming. And this is just fighting alone.
Until we see 500 to 1000 attendance, I don't really see breaking up the days; it'll scare away more than it will encourage from what I've seen. Not every gamer, hardcore or not can dedicate a whole weekend, I would think.
X A
500 to 1000? Cmon fighting games didn't have those numbers often if ever 10 years ago and things were more than a day.
Not to mention the only ones that NEED to be there for day 2 are the ones that won and anyone who gave em a ride lol.

LMAO Cyriacks it started late because you guys did everything but what I asked, bring console + disc + flash drive or unlocked profiles (not everyone but some). You are stating that it was unorganized? You jump the Tournament Organizer but failed to remember this. I said bring disc bring console.... barely anyone did so I spent time updating xbox 360s swapping connections moving consoles around THATS why it started late. Saturday was a good event, but I cant have you using something modded that will get you banned from xbox live. They are complaining because you guys had every weapon unlocked while people were stuck with unusable classes. What is faster and smoother? Using mods that are not supposed to be allowed? Look if xbox live wont let you use it I cant.
@cyriacks Great, but we did not split screen anything. Glitching 20th prestige is not allowed on xbox live or is it? Long story short lets do something that does not require glitching.
Still end of the day Tank & Dank won. End of story. Gundown's team couldve beat them one more time and won.. they didnt they dropped the next set of maps. Its over.
In the future Bring disc, USB drive, and possible console to help the speed of the tournament. Because when you don't be prepared for the event to take longer to start and later to end which I mentioned oh 100 times. Also I noticed people saying it was taking to long. How many times did I tell teams start the match start the match start the match? It helps not warming up and starting the match like I ask. Oh well it was still fun and awesome event.
Someone has my white controller. Poim Jaguar your dad took my HD component cables.
2 - "Challonge or TIO" - I actually am in the process of looking for a browser based solution for all future events. TIO - crashes, and unless the NVGA will finally respond to my requests for an updated version, we are moving on. Challonge "could lead to too much cost" based on what our staff member who was tasked months ago to review it... We are going to revisit it as a solution as well as Zeek / z33k / the SC2 solution.

Again we did it so no one would prestige us. It wasnt a glitch. And we beat Tank and Dank and u said we won. They only beat us when we had 2 classes each and they had all 5 of theres. So when it comes down to it when it was a fair match we won.
EDIT: I also brought a disc
Bro you have a android bounce the internet off your 4g phone.... its free. Ill show you at next months event if you guys host it.2 - "Challonge or TIO" - I actually am in the process of looking for a browser based solution for all future events.

Overall Challonge seems like a great option as long as you have internet access (which is the main reason we haven't used it at G-FLO -- venue doesn't have public internet access).

Yep. No matter where if you have an android phone you got internet ... Just need to be shown how to use the tether for free.. Super easy.
But it does look like Im really leaning towards http://binarybeast.com/ But I will revisit Challonge ... But last time I tested them out they where really lacking in alot of areas.
What we'll probably do for ARK V is use Tio to seed and then input into Challonge manually.2 - "Challonge or TIO" - I actually am in the process of looking for a browser based solution for all future events.

Also it doesn't allow you to do specialized seeding other than random or manual (i.e., it doesn't support location based seeding).

are you aware that im almost positive that oneshot paid them to use our flash drives that were 20th prestige.the prestige set up that we have on flash drives isn't a glitch its a program made because of the LAN problem it doesn't effect on-line play nor can anyone get banned from xbox live or anywhere else for the use of it.. i got on xboxlive.com and talked to a tech to make sure the program is a non bannable item and he said that unlocking all the items in a private non internet based game offline for the purpose of lanning an event is unbanable and meets no requirement for ban unless it changes copyrights.. witch it does not... im going to try to contact the makes of mw3 and see if they have any info on an update that we may be able to get for the LAN players...
Your flash is not the one i'm talking about. We played on yours. @onezerotwo is his twitter name I believe. I'm talking about the glitched 20th prestige flash drive.
less whining about a medium-paced console shooter with assisted-aim and more about posting results, especially of the fighting games. the world wants to know what happened at what event.Not sure about other games
