Polycount Dota 2 Community Tournament
polycounter lvl 4
Hi fellow polycount dota 2 enthusiasts,
quite a while back, the idea was tossed around to organise a private, little hobby tournament for the pc dota 2 workshop artists. It never really came to happen sadly though, mostly due to timeschedule problems.
Sitting in irc and the googlehangout, the idea came up again and alot of people seem to be interested. Since I have no experience in organising tournees myself, I need your help and suggestions (not to mention that i dont need to be the organizer if people are willing) maybe we can make this a community effort.
Following issues and ideas came up:
Timezones and server regions
It was suggested that we form teams based on region and timezones. This way we can make sure people can get together on a more convenient basis, and even have modest pings and connections. Further more we could form and arrange teams on things like experience, matches played and so forth, to maintain a factor of fairness. Games that are close are more fun than roflstomping matches. Dont you agree?!
Tournament not League
For the first try-out, we might wanna stick with a simple elimination based tournament, since a league really is quite complex to arrange and takes alot of time playing all those matches. So setting up an elimination table once the teams are formed. I guess we play proper winners and losers bracket so we get 2nd and 3rd price. Depending on how many teams we can get together, this still means that the tournament might have alot of games, which is cool, we like doto.
Prices, fame and glory
It's a fun event, that's very important. It's from the community for the community and we wanna have fun while doing this. We play for fame and glory unless someone wants to toss in some fun incentives.
Schedules and stuff
Finding the right dates to play is propably gonna be a challenge. Its up to the teams to manage when they wanna meet. We could say we gonna play on a fixed set of days, like a long weekend or we spread it out.
That's about it from my side. This is just the basis of ideas we discussed in the hangout and the irc, pls feel free to contribute and bring in your ideas. Maybe you even got some expertise on organizing and managing events like this. Your opinion counts.
To effectivly form teams I would suggest to write down your playable server region and timezone.
Coyo.Te, EU West/East/(Russia), UTC +1
Edit: If you wanna participate in the tournament, write down your prefered server-region (dota2 duh) and timezoneas shown above, when in doubt check here

I would find this too much fun just to kick back and watch, let alone play, make this happen
you mean like kickin those two events together, kinda like tournament/contest event? sounds awesome enough for me.
let's hear it folks
I can play on any american server, that being US and South America, but if possible I'd narrow it down to US East and Brazil (US West is very finicky on my end). My timezone is UTC/GMT -3.
In short, servers are US East/Brazil and the timezone is Sao Paulo/Brazil (-3 hours).
If we manage to get it going before or after that contest adam mentioned, which I presume would be for workshop stuff, the game tournament would be pretty great as something to warm-up before starting it or something to wind down after the end of the contest.
Vienna, UTC/GMT +1
As for role, in a team, it depends on the hero :P
Im up usually for a game or two after work.
I can do any server with minimal issues, but US west/east is best for me.
I'm on Valve time
Spudnik + Danidem #1 feeder duo EU
US East
USW is also playable for me, just not as ideal.
Also, I can cast :P Though I'm not sure people want to listen to my accent lol. We could like do informal casts/commentary and that sort with whoever is free haha.
most of the time doing support role due to too much carries, you read my comic about Crystal Maiden then you will know why i did this.
recently training my pudge and mirana for semi gank semi carry/ semi support. well i like play prediction hit/ miss skill hehe
can use almost all heroes except micro skill needed heroes like meepo, invoker, chen (not really good controlling NC), lone druid, enchantress, visage, etc
I play in Eu servers, +1 timezone, central europe.
US east and west both work for me.
I am super pumped for this
I just play 4 dah lulz
(Just kidding
Just don't let him take anti mage
PvtDogmeat, Central north america UTC -6
GZG vertical, Server Regions: South Africa, EU West. UTC +2.
I can play carry, off-lane, support, tank, promote synergy.
Despite hating to quote myself, I like to remind everybody to stick to the prefered format of signup
besides, pls feel free to suggest ideas, vocal your opinion and wishes. I hoped for this tourney to be a community effort.
Here's the list so far: Polycount Dota 2 Tourney Participants
hope that link works correct

But I can play on the US east server as well as SEA with little lag.
