MRT 14 on Saturday, May 23rd 18:00 CET

[Atlas]

Like a bean burrito, MRT is back with a vengeance! For too long have we sat around without awesome tourneys and it's time to put a stop to that.

General Info:
The complete set of information including Brackets and Participants are listed in the Monthly Rumble Tournament 14 page.
Monthly Rumble Tournament #14 which will be held on Saturday, May 23rd.
Starting time: 18:00 CET (12:00 EST)
The tournament will be played in the 1v1 format.

It's going to be a single elimination tournament, and we'll play as many signups as possible. There will be a consolation match for 3rd and 4th place.

To enter provide the following information in a reply below:
- Your steam account name with Steam link.
- Your 3 commander choices or random.

Rules:
Refer to the general rules thread for an overview.

I'm highlighting this section of the rules in case there is confusion regarding hero and map pick order:

Hero Picks
The player in the top bracket will lock in his commander first for the first round. In the next game the player in the bottom of the bracket will lock into their commander first. (<- it will keep alternating for game 3 and 4) To check out who is on the top and bottom of your cell bracket, just see the Brackets page. If your name is blue, you're top of the bracket. If red, bottom of the bracket.

In the final game of the round, game 3 or game 5 depending on the format, victory points left from all the previous games will be summarized and based on them, the player who had less victory points left will be choosing his hero first.

Map Picks
The first round of a match will always be a fixed map as shown in the brackets.
No map can be played more than once within a match. Each player will have the option to veto a single map during a match, excluding the first round map.

The rounds that follow will be "loser's choice".
The loser will pick a map.

This means that you need to count your VPs as it will effect who picks their hero first in the 3rd/5th game.

The loser of a match will always count as 0 vps. What this means is that let's say that your opponent concedes at a score in game of 445-115, it counts as 445-0. I recommend you just keep a notepad file up so that you can keep a small record for yourself since while I'll try to keep them myself, it's almost inevitable I'm going to lose track. Obviously, whoever had the most vps total will then pick their hero first in the last match.

By the way, isn't 18:00 CET the same as 12:00 Eastern Time?

[Atlas]

You would be correct Corrected and added.

[Nurland]

I should be able to play sunday. Saturday might prove itself a tad bit troublesome.

So I will sign up with: Skill Lawd, Horse Commander, Preigy Champpiony.

[Cyris]

Bah, the first MRT when I've been playing enough matches to consider, and I'l be away at a wedding all weekend :/

Cyris
Would have played: BROTHER-CAPTAIN!!!!, Inq, HT

[Swift]

Never had a bean burrito, but it sounds like hardcore shite.

Got exams round then soooooo playing might not be on my parent's list of top priorites, but I'll try to watch some. Interesting you chose Sunday too, not Saturday.

I can help you out with all the various bracket bits if you like as well (or even do them for you on the day!) so I'll talk to you later.

[Atlas]

I'm glad for the feedback on the date and I'm willing to push it back if that make things better. I picked that day since it's the week after exams over here for me, but if there's something more convenient for all of you please throw some dates around.

It doesn't have to be Sunday either. I picked a Sunday because then players might have a chance to get some practice games in on Saturday if they were busy during the week. It should also be just around after church for some people.

Again, let me know what you guys would prefer!

[Vapor]

I can play the date listed but prefer the weekend after.

Vapor

Mek, Skill Lord, Knob

[hiveminion]

Yay more MRT!

HT, LA, TM

I can probably do either weekend.

[Atlas]

If you people prefer the weekend after I'm completely willing to accommodate. I understand that we normally post up MRTs at the last Saturday of the month and if you prefer that I can make the switch right now.

[MaxPower]

I could stream the MRT (if its on May 17th, not sure about the following weekend though) if someone would be willing to co-cast with me.

[Hobbes-San]

Is the tourney gonna be played with the upcoming patch 2.3.2?

[Hobbes-San]

I would prefer playing on a Sunday, don't care about which sunday.

[Cyris]

Is the tourney gonna be played with the upcoming patch 2.3.2?

I'd love to know this as well

As a GK player, I wanna be able to make las-rhino and not feel like a cheater...

But I also want my purgation squad in T1!

Time will tell.

[Atlas]

Is the tourney gonna be played with the upcoming patch 2.3.2?

I'm operating under the assumption that 2.3.2 will not be ready by the time of MRT 14 even if it does get pushed back. I'll get back to you if that is not the case.

Assuming for the moment that we will hold off until after the patch comes out, then MRT 14 is going to get pushed back to at least 2 weeks after patch hits in order to have time to iron out any needed hotfixes as well as acclimate to the changes.

[Hobbes-San]

I would be fine waiting a couple weeks so that we can play with patch 2.3.2 with everyone used to the new patch, mainly because there are some severe balance issues like CSM Slaughter and T-dread doing ridiculous damage to infantry.

[PhatE]

While not trying to be snarky about this remark but I'll register only if the date gets moved to another day i.e. a Saturday. It's been on Saturdays in the past and it's worked out just the same except now you can have more people enter.

Gotcha, and I hear you. I've been talking 1 on 1 with some people on good days for the tourney and right now there seems to be a broad consensus that a date change is in order. I'll make a final decision in the next few days.

Also as a general note, this tournament is not hardlocked at 16 players! I'll try to play as many people as possible so if you feel that you don't want to join because of problems of space, I'm just letting you know that is not the case.

PC,KN,CL

Sat16th/Sun17th are fine for me

[Atlas]

Alright after getting a pretty good amount of feedback, this tourney is getting pushed back to Saturday, May 23rd at the same time. I know I'm going to lose a few of you bros doing that, but it seems like that is the preference. Really sorry to those who can't make the 23rd

[MaxPower]

I prolly wont be able to stream the MRT on May 23rd, depends though if I get a day off from work or not.

[Superhooper01]

[Swift]

23rd? European evening? Hmm, I can probably coax my mum into letting me play since I never practise for these things anyway.

LGBT Lord (Because easy mode)
Whorelock
Farce Commander

[Crewfinity]

i'm going to have to withdraw. traveling to Italy on the 23rd for a post graduation europe trip

[Dark Riku]

23rd of May is impossible for me. Consider me out if it's this day.
