neogrant 4 Posted July 26, 2010 Command and Conquer Red Alert 2 Cash Ladder Tournament! Credits: Kindly sponsored by Fireworks, run by Strike-Team. CNCTube for featuring all replays. GameReplays.org for providing commentary, and further exposure of the tournament. What must I do? Qualify in the TOP 16 of the Red Alert 2 Quick Match Ladder, August 2010.Confirm (the potential top 20) with us that you will be able to play on the 18th September. (We hope to get this finished in a day) 19th September will be a run over if we can't finish on the 18th.However, If a player has been proven to lame, cheat, or curse during the qualifying month, they will miss out on entering the tournament. What happens after that? If you happen to be lucky enough to get into the top 16 you are automatically entered into the tournament. We will take 5 reserves in-case players are unable to turn up. (so top 20 as a backup) Maps to be played in the Tournament? You won't be assigned a map for your matches, but you must choose a map from the map pool. If you don't and play with what is in the map pool, instead play your own map choice you will be disqualified. Games are best of 3, you will only be able to play a map once within each stage. So 1st stage is your first 3 games, the 2nd stage is your next 3 games etc. Player 1 will choose the first map, Player 2 will choose the next, Loser of round 2of3 will choose the final map. How will the brackets be made? Rank 1 will play Rank 16 Rank 2 will play Rank 15 Rank 3 will play Rank 14 (And so on.) Finals Will be best of 5 games.

Doctor Destiny 40 Posted July 26, 2010 -No engineering enemy buildings (except for tech buildings) - accidental or not I wasn't really going to try but this cemented the decision. If I can't use a valid strategy, I'm out. Share this post Link to post
neogrant 4 Posted July 26, 2010 I wasn't really going to try but this cemented the decision. If I can't use a valid strategy, I'm out. Again this was brought up on strike-team, the rules were not set by me, only the sponsor. I think the debate was fireworks wanted a good tank battle instead of just having the quickest engineer and you win Share this post Link to post
