What?
Silky Goose has decided to sponsor the scene with a €50 donation with the intention of bridging the gap between the oldschool and newschool players. Another donator added €10 to the pool, making the total €60. We're going to host a little King of the Hill event on Sunday, Aug 24 3:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) which will last two and a half hours. At the end, the player with the most wins will play against the player sitting on the throne (in case they're different). Winner takes all.
How does it work?
There will be two lineups; the Oldschool players of which anyone playing in the Reunion Tournament is allowed, and the Newschool players which have participated in tournaments and had top finishes within the last year. Participants from both groups will play a Micro Tournament to decide the order in which they can play before the broadcast goes live, so players will be expected to be there half an hour early. If a newschool player is defeated, they're replaced with the next highest seed of the newschool players. Same goes for the oldschoolers.
Maps
Python Destination
Blue Storm Tau Cross
The starting map will be Tau Cross. From there on out, the challenger may pick from the map pool.
Newschool lineup
- sas.ZaraKi
- LancerX

What if the matches are too onesided?
If it turns out the skill gap is far too large, handicaps will start to be introduced. Creativity is encouraged.
Can I donate?
You can donate to increase the prize pool directly. Please state clearly in the comments that you wish to donate for the Oldschool vs Newschool KOTH event.
Broadcast
The event will be broadcasted live by Sayle and Players from the tournament and last two hours, after which we will finish up the Reunion Tournament.

Sure

Sorry to say but 2 hours is not enough for a king of the hill event. If someone wins a game or two and wants to kill time to keep their record they can just camp and defend from a deficit and prolong the game for an hour... Second question, does Scan qualify for this?

If anyone does dumb shit like that they're disqualified by default.
Second question, does Scan qualify for this?
The event is for the amateur/foreign scene. Given Scan's activity I wouldn't consider him an amateur.

So sziky will play for the oldschool or the newschool ?
|
I think newschool is the wrong term used in this context. I would rather use "still active players" vs "inactive retired players". So I'd guess Artanis would rate him into the former group. Would be dumb if not, tbh.
|
Sure, kinda retarded, i play BW since 2005 ;;
|
jesus stop complaining already
|
Wait, what? People who started playing in 2003 are oldschools and these from 2005 are newschools? Guy just pointed out that more fitting name is "Old players against New players" so i believe that's complaining.
|
i think you should just be happy this is even happening
|
With newschool I mean the people that are still active in the scene. The choice of name was poor, that's true.
