April/May/June 2010 2v2 Demigod Community Tournament - Results Thread

This thread has been created for the purpose of tracking results in the April/May 2010 2v2 Demigod Community Tournament. 

Current status:  WINNER! - King_Of_Thorns + Zen_God

Round 1a began at 5PM on 4/21/2010 and ended at 11:59PM EST on 4/30/2010. 

Round 1b began at Midnight on 5/1/2010 and ended at 11:59PM EST on 5/7/2010.

Round 2 began at Midnight on 5/8/2010 and ended at 11:59PM EST on 5/23/2010.

Round 4 (FINALS) began Midnight on 5/31/2010 and will end at 11:59PM EST on 6/5/2010

Players responsible for hosting and scheduling their own matches.  Then, the winning team must provide a replay and a link to the pantheon stats here for tracking purposes, for every game played.  Please feel free to use this thread get your matches scheduled.

There will be a need to disqualify teams that aren't making the required effort to get their games in without penalizing another team that's doing whatever they can to get a match scheduled.  It's probably best if teams that are trying to organize matches go on record in the forums.  For instance, if I was playing against say AtMa and Ba, I'd post something like the following in this thread:

Atma + Ba:  trouser and pacov are generally available M-F from 5pm EST - 1AM EST.  Please let us know if some time in that slot would work for you or recommend a time slot that works.  I'll PM you in a few days if I haven't heard from you or we can discuss this on lagwars vent. 

Something like that.  If it comes down to disqualifying teams because they didn't get their match in, the more info and tracking you have indicating that you did your best to get the match scheduled the better.

Here is the FINAL bracket  - UPDATED 6/5/2010

Tournament Rules:

  • You may only select characters as indicated in the grid below:

  • Each match in the tournament will be the best 2 out of 3 games
  • All matches will be played on cataract with default settings (the only exceptions being AI HP on Very High and AI Gold/XP on low)
  • After teams are formed, they will be randomly placed into a bracket to determine who will fight who.  Everything will be random initially in round 1.  In the following rounds, the winners from one game will play the winners from another based on location in the bracket starting from the top on to the bottom.
  • Each team will play 1 round on light side, then 1 round on dark side.  If there is a 3rd round, the team that had the fastest win in game 1 or 2 gets to pick the side they want to be on (keep in mind the following rule).  
  • The team that is on the dark side must pick their characters and ready up first.  Then the light gets to pick and the dark side does not have a chance to adjust their characters. 
  • To track your wins, you must do the following - post the replay at gamereplays.org.  If you have issues with gamereplays, upload the file to rapid share and provide us with a link.  Also, provide a link to the match in the pantheon and let me know if its a win or loss.  The winning team should do this for each and every match.
  • UberFix 1.02 must be used (http://forums.demigodthegame.com/374315) UberFix is a mod that fixes many of the bugs in Demigod.  Check the modding forum for everything that is fixed by UberFix 1.02. 

How will we handle crashes:

If there is a game crash, the players involved in that match should see if they can come to a consensus on the probable outcome of the match.  If there is no clear winner, the 2 teams should replay the match using the exact same demigods and sides (light/dark).  If there was a clear winner at that point in the game, then that team should be awarded the win.  If the 2 teams disagree on the outcome, a third party will review the replay of the match and render a decision.  Be aware that the 3rd party must agree that a specific team was going to win or the results will be thrown out and the match redone.

How we will handle invalid game states:

The lastgamereplay file is still created in the event of an invalid game state, so it is still possible to review the results of a match.  In the event of an invalid game state, players should attempt to resolve the issue exactly the same way as game crashes.  If you believe foul play occurred, submit the replay along with any screen shots, etc, as evidence and we will review.  If there is a CLEAR consensus that a team is willingly triggering invalid game states, that team should be disqualified after a thorough review of the facts. Please be reasonable, though.  We all know that Demigod has its bugs and its still pretty easy to encounter an invalid game state even if no one has intentionally triggered it.  If your game does crash, it might be advisable to take a screen shot of the crash as proof.  Be aware that we know invalid game states can occur without any sort of foul play, so please be mindful when submitting requests for review. 

Prizes:

Outside of prestige in our small community, there is also a cash prize thanks to community contributions.  The total (and probably final) amount paid for this tournament is $200.  If you would like to contribute to the pot, please pm me and I'll get you the needed info to send me a payment.  If individuals do not come through on their pledges, I will not be personally covering the difference.  My goal is to collect the pledged amount before the tournament starts and I will be providing updates as I receive the pledged money.

Please thank our contributors and consider contributing to the prize yourself.

did you watch the replay pacov? Or are you just running by the masses. I only saw 2 constructive analysis in this thread. Hedgies and mine...

The problem with late d/cs is that if the game has dragged on for 50 minutes, reached war rank 10 and both teams got giants then by definition the game is very close, unless one of the portals was taken. You can play the "what if" game forever in that scenario and there will never be a conclusion as to who "would've" won.

The easier way to judge was which team actually played better till that point - and then the answer becomes clearer.

If one team truly is better of the two, then there should be no problems with the better team winning the next 1 or 2 matches.

We're not all Tiger Woods. Most people are inconsistent. If the game was close, I think they should play it again. But, if one team appeared to be at a significant advantage, they should be given the win.

Oh but you see, these two are self-proclaimed Tiger Woods of Demigod. If they can talk the talk, let's see if they'll walk the walk.

Everything IS politics.

Besides, I won't be able to watch the replay until later tonight and I want the matches to be over before then so we can move this thing forward. Just DO SOMETHING.

Speaking of which, when is YOUR match happening Zen_God? Don't think we forgot.

OK - skimmed through all the way up to the 20 min mark.  At 20:50 - all characters have about the same level, relatively even on flags.  Kalel/rawrrrr are tearing through towers (it is qot + rook, after all).  kalel/rawrr (light) have torn down the entire right side and the dark side tower by the HP flag.  All of kale/rawr towers are still standing.  WS is about even at 5000 or so a piece.  Both teams have priests. Rawrr/kalel get angels/cats very soon after they come up.

at about 27 min, orc/mc get angels - center is torn down.

As of 28:45, kale/rawr tear down the remaining portal side towers on dark hp side.  Their creeps have torn through the 1st layer of towers at mid.  Mcshane crashes et al at 29 min marker or so. 

Thoughts - at the time mcshane crashed out, kalel/rawrrr had a clear advantage.  The question was, what are the odds that they could have turned that advantage into a win. 

So - if its decision time, the match DOES NOT go to mcshane/orcun.  Could they have still won?  Yes.  Did it look like they were going to win? No. 

Should Rawrrr/Kalel get the win?  Based on what I saw, maybe.  If I had to bet, I'd say they were 60-65% favored to win at the time of the disconnect.  So, odds are they would win, but its not a done deal.  If we gave a win to them here, there would be a big ol * next to it.  

Anyway, obviously the d/c sucks, more so for rawrrrr/kalel than mcshane/orc imo.  My thought is still the same as it was before I watched the replay though:  toss it out and have a rematch.

Man, you weren't supposed to listen. You were supposed to get all mad at me. Grar.

Edit: And I hate you for always putting the right number of 'r's in Rawr's name. lol

renz, mith when are you guys free to play?

 

I haven't either ninki, but koush never replies and this thread became so full with comments that no one saw mine...

 

To the decision, fail at rules, but I said from the beginning the disconnect rule won't work -.-

Most people's interpretation of the rules in this thread is, who will probably win not who is winning at the disconnect.  For this small community it might work but not usable for future tournaments where people can abuse it.

I agree there completely.

That settles it. Saturday at 6pm - whichever team doesn't show up gets DQed.

Hurray~ Ok let's move on.

Reply #642 Top

oh no mith the disconnecter this will bring so much food for fire  :meow:

also we should stick to 2on2 tournaments and make demigod picks even more interesting:). 3on3s will be impossible with the present demigod connection. Here my new prediction: less skilled players will advance and even win the tournament because of disconnects  :waaaa:

But maybe, just maybe, the next patch will heal Demigod *looking very optimistic to the future* :cylon:

I'm enjoying this trash talking.

Guess what Zen, Mith said Germany won't win the world cup!

Guess what Mith, Zen said people from Quebec smell like poo and act like one too!

Now begin.

  Howdy everyone, so unless you count the post i made over a year ago regarding a technical issue this will be my first and last post. I will be pretty much done with DG after this tourney is over, sure i will stick around for a while and help out with the OMG clan stuff and of course play from time to time but as far as joining anymore tournaments and the like I am done. I'm just so tired of all the bullshit and all the issues this game has.  Its time to move on and nows a good a time as any. I would of quit already but I'm not gonna leave my teammate RAWRRRR hangin high and dry like that so good luck and have fun all its been a hell of a ride this past +year.   Lata!
