MRT 15 on Saturday, June 27th 18:00 CET

[Atlas]

MRT 14 went off with great success, and we're going to work to keep Monthly Rumbles going on an actual monthly basis. We'll be doing smaller, or more specialized, tournaments in the middle of the month but anticipate an MRT in some form at the last weekend of every month from here on out until further notice.

General Info:
The complete set of information including Brackets and Participants are listed in the Monthly Rumble Tournament 15 page.
Monthly Rumble Tournament #15 which was held on Saturday, June 27th.
Starting time: 18:00 CET (12:00 EST).
The tournament will be played in the 2v2 format.
The tournament will be welcome to All Skill Levels.
The tournament will be played on the 2.4.1 patch.

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 teams.

To enter provide the following information in a reply below:
- Your steam account name with Steam link. If you have trouble with this, let us know.
- Your 3 commander choices or random.

If you're participating as a team, please give the name of your teammate as well. Their own linking of the Steam name and heroes will be considered a confirmation. As a bit of flavoring, we'd encourage teams to also come up with a team name. It's not a requirement, but it adds to the flavor of a team tournament.

Note that you can participate in the tournament without having a teammate ready to go. We'll assign you an available teammate on the day of the tournament should you need it.

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:

Map Picks
Maps are always selected before hero picks.
The first round of a match will always be a fixed map as shown in the brackets. After this, the map pick will be the losing team's choice. Only maps in the map pool may be played to be considered a valid tournament match.

No map can be played more than once within a match. Each team will have the option to veto a single map during a match, excluding the first round map. Maps that are variants of other maps, such as Pale Tooth Gorge and Green Tooth Gorge, will count as one map and can't be selected in the same round.

Hero Picks
The team in the top bracket will lock in their commanders first for the first game. Next game the team in the bottom bracket will lock into their commanders first, alternating like this between teams until the final game. In the final game of the round, game 3 or 5 depending on the format, the losers of the previous game will pick the map and then their heroes first.

To check out who is on the top and bottom of your cell bracket, just look at the Brackets page. If your team name is blue, you're the top of the bracket. If red, you're the bottom of the bracket.

The 2v2 Map Pool:

• Argus Desert Gate
• Ashes of Typhon
• Calderis Refinery
• Desert Showdown
• Golgotha Depths
• Hydris Chasm
• Judgement of Carrion
• Medean Cliff Mines
• Meridian High City
• Ruins of Argus
• Tharsis Forge

Prizes:
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams will receive a prizes of their individual choosing in that order.I have only one copy of each of these items.
If both teammates on the same team want a particular prize, I'll award it to the one I first received the request from.

I'm game, though I don't have a partner. Ping me if you wanna duo up!

A big thanks to Atlas for setting these up! Getting rekt in public is one of my favorite things to do

Ok, it was late at night when I put up the tourney topics so I'll cover some things I wanted to.

First off, I want opinions on the date. Truth be told, I don't really want every tournament to be on a Saturday. There are bros here who work on that day and if we keep that static I feel that is unfair towards them. I think Sunday is the obvious replacement. Let me know what dates near the end of June are good for you.

Second, I've been thinking about making September the "major tourney month" of the year and having the Elite Mod Championship be held at the end of September. This idea is one that was actually conjured up while I was updating the "Tournaments" page on the main site so it's not thought through really well. Let me know. If this idea pulls through, I might retroactively use the scores of MRT 14 instead of MRT 15 (due to being 2v2) in order to do the seeding of the EMC.

And as usual, whatever feedback you want to give me please do so! Whether here or on Steam, I'll try to reply.

Sorry, did you confuse the numbers 14 and 15 here?

He did indeed.

I did and fixed! Thank you for pointing it out.

As a general heads-up, but I'm not actively campaigning and updating this thread yet. I'm taking a small break and then I'll see to the BT first. I've left this thread up for early-comers right now, but look for it to really pick up in a week or two

[Tex]

Can we do the big tourney in October? September is still super duper busy construction season.

[Dark Riku]

Sunday won't work for me this time. Saturday will.

[Toilailee]

Toilet and Codex reporting in. Ready to lose in the first round again.

Heroes tba.

[Atlas]

Kk ty for the replies folks! I'll be picking up here a lot more starting ~June 15, so let me know what your preferences are!

[Pega]

Noisy, Dark Riku for now.

If the teams get stacked too much, we will think of something.

[Atlas]

Gotcha. I'm not going to enforce balanced teams. I'll try to promise at least one fair match every team though, but after that you're a victim of the bracket.

[Floid]

Mathis and Floid

Need moar teamz!

[Superhooper01]

Hey me and Red beard are up for it and heros will be plague champ,chaos lord and warlock for me and Red will update this weekend probs.

[Jaime22]

My friend inespie and I would like to sign up if possible

My steam ID: http://steamcommunity.com/id/Kingslayer2
his steam ID: http://steamcommunity.com/id/inespie

This is our first time kinda signing up for this kind of thing, so if we did anything wrong or something I'd love it if anyone could correct me or guide me in the right way

Our preferred heroes are:

Jaime: Farseer, Apothecary, Force Commander
Inespie: Inquisitor, Kommando Nob, Commisar Lord

Edit: Edited out some commander choices we made (we realized our current lineup was pretty poor so we swapped out some heroes, hope that's okay)

[Atlas]

Nope Jaime, looks good! I'll get back to you and Inespie closer to the tournament date and make sure you're all set! Just keep an eye out on this thread every once in a while for some updates!

[Red Beard B|]

Hey me and Red beard are up for it and heros will be plague champ,chaos lord and warlock for me and Red will update this weekend probs.

I can on either days and my champs are : Plague champion,Kommando Nob and Techmarine.

[Atlas]

Alright everyone, let me know about your date preferences ASAP because I'll be deciding the final date probably by the end of the week. People are leaning towards Saturday on this one!

Also, once the date is updated I'll start actually campaigning and organizing this one. Big thanks to the early comers here!

[Toilailee]

I prefer saturday.

[Floid]

Saturday too.

[MaxPower]

Yeah to Saturday and I'd like to stream some of the games, preferably with a nice co-caster.

[Swift]

Everyone prefers Saturday. If Riku can't do Saturday then he has his priorities wrong 8)

[Dark Riku]

Everyone prefers Saturday. If Riku can't do Saturday then he has his priorities wrong 8)

I already said only Saturday works for me. °_O Am I missing something obvious here?

[Atlas]

Alright it's gonna be on Saturday, June 27th. Prepare for that date!

As for you Max, we can get you someone

[Adeptus Noobus]

Yeah to Saturday and I'd like to stream some of the games, preferably with a nice co-caster.

If you want, I could co-cast with you.

Alright thanks KAF, your team is registered.

Once I get some actual time, I'll be updating here in earnest. Expect updates quickly.

[Marutectz]

No idea if I'm working on that day, or not. I've had several people who'd finally stop pestering me to consider doing the Two v Two MRT. So if they read this it's official for me to be considering to sign up.

Worst case I do join and no one has a partner, I'll fill in for a humane good deed of the month, or just hop onto a stream for commentary's sake.

I'll edit my choices for commanders in the next day, or two, if I decide on finally...ready for a public humiliation. (Joking on that last part)
