Road to Apex: Phoenix Saga: Part 6

[ZTD | TECHnology]

SK's not even PR'ed he's a 3rd seed now.

I'm sure he'll agree with me.

 

[What's The Point]

If it's 8 pools then he's not a 1st seed. Zinoto probably wouldn't even get one.

 

[Eddie G]

Agreed with WTP. Very few of us MW:E locals are going to get high/top seeds at this. I see Shugo and Kain being the only obvious candidates.

 

[DRDN]

Don't do drugs

Just curious so I don't get Ps3d again

(I still want clow in my pool if possible I'm last seed lately )

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

8 pools of 6 means 48 people.

There's going to be WAYYYYYY more people than that.

We're exploring the possibility of running 16 pools.

 

[Ori_bro]

16 pools top 2 seems good if we want the 32 man bracket.

 

[DRDN]

That sounds like apex terrible

Like definitly not entering singles terrible

 

[Damittom]

If you do any less than 16 pools we're gonna be there all night its a fact of life. 16 pools would go by so much quicker than 8

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

I'm not having a 32 man bracket if we get the expected attendance. It would be 48. And for time's sake it would be 16 pools, 2 waves of 8.

 

[Damittom]

Just did the math if we did 8 pools with 80 people that would be 54 matches per pool compared to 14 matches with 16 pools

 

[DRDN]

Make it 64 man bracket if we get enough people....how many setups are needed to do that and get out on time


If we weren't MI that is

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Making it into bracket should not be a freebie. 64 man is too lenient unless I get like 100 + people. Highly doubt that's gonna happen (with the way things have been going lately though, I suppose that's not a TOTAL stretch ).

 

[Patches]

All I know is that its gonna be a stacked bracket. Especially if its a 32 man bracket.

 

[DRDN]

With 80 entrants 16 people would still not make it

Because pools are being cut down it means more important matches for everyone who doesn't get last place in their pool.

Or better yet have an amateur bracket to go at the same time as regular bracket

 

[What's The Point]

It basically has to be 16 pools and 48 man bracket. Most likely to many people for 8 pools, and 4/5 man pools with top 2 is ******** as we all know.

 

[Damittom]

Sadly thats the problem with large events is fair pools cannot exist with ending at a decent time

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Vengeance had about the same turnout (this is looking more stacked though) and the 16 pools with Top 3 making it out seemed to work out fairly well. So unless the anticipated turnout fluctuates enough in either direction, things are staying this way.

 

[DRDN]

What about an amateur bracket? With this attendance it would be almost as big

Aren't OHian good at running those?

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

I'm not concerned about that.

Main event comes first always.

And that's very idealistic to believe that we're gonna be able to run an event that's 2/3s the size of the the main one....by 11. I don't see that happening.

Starting pre seeding now.

If anyone is curious about their seed, you can hit me up on Skype. I'll be on there for a while.

4th;
You don't seed past here usually plus I stopped knowing people halfway through 3rds.

This is likely how everyone is seeded but if you disagree with something you may want to bring it up now.

 

[Xatic]

Coco isn't coming fyi

and you may or may not be missing some canadian players.

Canadians coming that I know of:
Meek
Sauc3
Iliad
TOJoe
Patches


I just talked with Meek this afternoon and he told me both Sauc3 and Iliad were coming to this.

 

[DRDN]

I disagree with thugz being on that list above....well everyone below him on that list

 

[Pimp Daddy Supreme]

i'm a 4th seed

unless witch doctor is legal

 

[Apasher]

If I decide to make pools early, no one aside from appointed staff is allowed to see or work on them. Its not like I don't trust you Chioke, its just a matter of principle is all.

But for now this is what I will do:

To gain the best posible grouping for seeding ,I need coordination from you folks.

If any of you have played certain people frequently within the past 6 months in tournament please tell me here.

In addition, please tell me about your crew or just people you play regularly. Also please let me know about your carpools. They may or may not relevant. Obviously certain groups like West MI, Ann Arbor, me/Gifts/Mikey, the Canadians, IL, KS/IA are givens. For less obvious stuff just inform me here so I can make notes.

If you count PS1 in the 6 month timeframe, considering that I've only been to 3 tournaments during that timeframe, then you could say that Coco and PzO has been in my pool frequently.

 

[Patches]

Seeing Sauc3 get a 2nd seed makes me sad. ):

 

[Xatic]

These aren't official seedings yet. Tech is working on the official one atm.

 

[Seagull Joe]

1st seeds look good.

 

[AllyKnight]

Just notified Krystedez about this tournament, will he come? we'll see

 

[Ori_bro]

I hope Kryz comes, he is always a cool guy to see.

Also i'll be hosting a sf Friday at my place so Kevin's house isn't filled with 20+ people.

 

[Patches]

Imo, I'd swap sauc3 with sago. But that's biased cause I don't know who sago is. LOL

@Xatic: as far as I know that should be all of us.

 

[What's The Point]

1st seeds look good.

1st seeds are super easy with 16 pools. The questionable part is always around #7, but with 16 people you can hand out 1st seeds like they're candy. Then you just put the questionable 1st/2nd seeds in the same pool.

Imo, I'd swap sauc3 with sago. But that's biased cause I don't know who sago is. LOL

See the above. A very likely scenario would be Sago and Sauc3 in the same pool. Also remember that what I have is an unofficial (But super accurate) list I made for fun.

Also i'll be hosting a sf Friday at my place so Kevin's house isn't filled with 20+ people.

What? Anyone who'd go to a SF would also get housing, or are people I don't know and live east of you. Plus your basement is full from the people you're housing.


To people I am housing, everyone gets breakfest. It's going to be cereal but none of that bag ****. All boxes. Also if you really want to shower consider doing it at night. There's going to be to many for everyone taking morning showers and timely departing.

 

[Ori_bro]

Its mainly geared towards people like JCav/Dogma/JKBuKLOE1/Apasher along with the 7 I'm housing.

 

[What's The Point]

They were included in that group. The "and" should have been an "or."

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[DRDN]

Are the people housing with me (so far KS and West MI) bringing a set up? ill set the place for them

 

[AllyKnight]

Wow Kevin, I feel bad for your hospitality, we gonna wreck those boxes. But thank you very much

 

[DeLux]

I don't think we'll be able to fit a setup in our car

 

[ZTD | TECHnology]

Just finished seeding.

Not gonna lie, Kevin's list made things easier lol. Granted there were small discrepancies but the bulk of the list is pretty accurate.

We grouped everyone according as followed:


1st Seeds
Top: (Insert top 4 here)
High: " "
Mid: " "
Low " "

Rinse and repeat for the 2nds and 3rds. Then we can know who to move around in certain scenarios. In addition if/when last minute additions or drop outs happen we know who to move.

 

[What's The Point]

I don't think we'll be able to fit a setup in our car

Who is in your car?

 

[Gifts]

Really pissed right now...

Got called into work this saturday.. Going to try and get out of it but it doesn't look good... Meh
