This May, the world celebrates the 80th anniversary of the end of the largest conflict in human history. To celebrate Victory Day in the Enlisted way, I will be hosting another tournament, this time for BR 2! However, unlike the previous competition to determine the Lords of Le Bre, this tournament will test the abilities of teams to overcome fortified positions in sandy Tunisia and snowy Moscow. Like the Le Bre tournament, this one will also have a cash prize, and thanks to contributions from various community members, there is a total of $450 USD up for grabs! The Bastion Brawl Tournament will be played on Saturday, May 3rd, at 10:00 Central Standard Time (17:00 Central European Time, 23:00 Singapore Time), and if necessary due to a lengthy competition, a second day of competition will be held the following Saturday, May 10th, at the same time.
is a very long long long history literally while Sj and he were disscusing me and probably half of the ppl who saw the conversation were eating popcorn
TKA4EHK0_YT accused me of colluding with U45N to rig the previous tournament in their favor by having it played on Europe servers and not Russian servers because U45N has players from North America who would have had well over 200 ping to Russian servers. Therefore, I am unwilling to invite someone who makes such accusations to a tournament where I am sponsoring the prize pool.
I’m sorry, but why did some rgd players play with a ping of 200 during the last tournament and it was ignored by everyone, however, at the upcoming tournament, you say that this is unacceptable and it makes players useless against those whose ping is in a normal state?
I think that the europeans and americans on the European server have a better average ping than the players from Russia, and in such a tense game, every little thing decides the outcome.
Because of ping being a point of contention, however impactful or not in the overall outcome of the games, this time around the attacking team will decide the server the game is played upon. This step should rectify issues by giving each side their preferred ping. In a global tournament with 3 servers, someone is going to have bad ping. Unless all teams meet in a central location, someone will have the worst ping and someone will have the best ping, that’s the nature of the internet.
If we are going to go over the past tournament, U45N had players with 140-200 ping. One Asian player had 230. If RGD had a few players with the same bad ping, then it was fair. The rules were designed for the lowest average ping across both teams. The biggest point, and this was not only backed up by spectating the event, but also by team interviews after the tournament ended and everyone converged from multiple teams to discuss the event, was that while non-European players may have lost individual fights that they would have won with better ping, the overall outcome of the tournament would not have shifted. RGD and EVA might have gotten another point overall, but in both cases U45N’s defense meant that they would have had to win just a single point to win their set, if they even had to play the 4th match at all.
Correct, at this time, with paratroopers only being available as event or premium squads, they are not allowed. In the case that we get tech tree paratroopers before the tournament date in early May, they would then be allowed and would count as an infantry squad.
