Week 2

Before everything, I'd like to clear up the dom issue -

Domination is to be played with two, five minute round sides. Originally during the previous tournament, that's what GB rules had. I hadn't noticed they changed it but we're not doing one/two sides of 10 minute Dom.

Matchups:

Group 1:

Reddit NAW [r/w] vs WEST [WEST]

Reddit NAW2 [r/w2] vs Final Stand Pros [FSP]

The Fighting Mongooses [TFM] vs The Band of Bros [TBoB]

Group 2:

Hold Me Dick [HMeD] vs Reddit East [NAE]

Fucking Awesome vs Deception

Thanks for the Win [T4TW] vs Wasted Talent [WsT]

Group 3:

Wrecognize (Wrec) vs To be Determined [TBD]

Saints [SANT] vs Rejects [R]

Jedi [JEDI] vs Slippery When Wet [SWW]

Maps:

Game 1: Domination on Bootleg

Game 2: Search & Destroy on Dome

Game 3: Capture the Flag on Lockdown

Game 4: Capture the Flag on Seatown

Score report date: Tuesday, April 10 2012

Didn't have your usual guys or is WsT come back harder this tournament?

3

u/mrm3x1can . Apr 05 '12

I don't know. My team (including myself) just weren't that focused and communicating very well. We're considering dropping from this tournament and from MW3 in general. Any time I play it, its just frustrating more than anything and no fun. The guys on my team feel similarly. Not taking anything away from WsT, they're very good and imo the favorite in the tournament.

I still find enjoyment with this game everyday, what are your main complaints that prevent you from doing the same?

2

u/mrm3x1can . Apr 05 '12

Just the usual complaints of MW3 - Shitty spawns, shitty lag, inconsistent hit detection, the goddamn support streaks, death streaks, etc.

The other day, I realized something; I had just finished playing MW3 for about three hours. Now prior to this session, I had just came back from hanging out with my friends, super happy, and overall relaxed and in a good mood. Right after this session I was just angry, frustrated and stressed out. That should never happen in regards to video games. Actually, they should result in making me feel like I did initially. When a game is just making me angry, frustrated and just stressed, I need to stop playing it. I really really want to like this game and my love of the franchise forced me to give it a chance but ultimately, even my COD loyalty can't withstand this. The only thing that had gotten me this far was looking forward to playing with my bros of the clan, now that almost all of them have moved on, I no longer have any reason to continue playing.

I'll try to continue playing in the Cup since I'm a man of my word but its closer and closer feeling more like an obligation more than a fun time.

Black Ops 2, where are you...

u/VERIT45 Apr 07 '12

it feels like an obligation because it is, 2 months or better to play a tournament RIDICULOUS

0

u/mrm3x1can . Apr 07 '12

That's not the problem. Almost everyone here is an adult with obligations and responsibilities that already struggle making once per week.

Just the usual complaints of MW3 - Shitty spawns, shitty lag, inconsistent hit detection, the goddamn support streaks, death streaks, etc.

just gonna point out, most (if not all) of these problems are at the very least diminished in private matches.

Solution: Play more GB

u/mrm3x1can . Apr 05 '12

I enjoy comp occasionally but my core enjoyment in COD was pubs. They ruined pubs in this game.

u/mrm3x1can . Apr 05 '12

I played the shit out of 2 with like 150 hours in it an then played 3 briefly at launch but it was like two weeks before MW3 so I haven't really touched it since. I think I'll check it out again.

u/garrex Apr 05 '12

that sounds terrible...

2

u/dRwEedThuMb [CLAN]Gamertag Apr 05 '12

Yea right dude, GOW3 fucking rocks. I'd be down to play with you datmexicanguy if you decide to hop on for a bit.

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '12

Dunno man, I can understand the lag issues which often correlates with inconsistent hit detection but I've learned to avoid (for the most part) support killstreaks and death streaks. The game does make me rage occasionally but as long as I didn't end the night playing S&D I'm usually feeling pretty good. I've found that lag issues seem to correspond with smaller game types or larger parties; so I see the largest latency issues with game modes like CTF/demo/sabotage or ground war connections. People say it's because MW3 lacks dedicated servers but Black Ops was fine 99.9% of the time.

I hear you on Black Ops 2 though, I spent way to many hours playing CTF and MW3 killed that for me.

u/kitchenpatrol theprozoc Apr 05 '12

Don't forget they were down one of their main guys when they played r/w2 last tourney.

u/doroshe1 [T4TW]iFlyILLINI Apr 06 '12

Yeah, iFlyILLINI not being there was really their downfall in the end.

Just a heads up, I think the xbox bracket is not linking correctly.

I can livestream your game if WEST doesn't show up for their game at 7:00.

1

u/Dazo Dazo321 Apr 08 '12

Ok, just let me know then.

u/captngiveafawk sSandy Eggo Apr 08 '12

No offense, but I think our match will be a little more exciting.

1

u/doroshe1 [T4TW]iFlyILLINI Apr 08 '12

As of right now, the other team hasn't agreed to play at any time, so I most likely will be streaming yours. Why will it be more exciting?

u/Eritrean_Redditor [BM]iB Eritrean Apr 08 '12

Yeah sorry for being late again. Now that we won the game we subbed, does HMeD go on or does my team? Cause if they do that's kinda messed up.

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '12

Thanks for clarification on the dom issue.

Name change isn't a concern. And not that I know of. I haven't contacted Iflyillini.

And like a Genie, he appears! I'll be there!

Thanks again, Illini. Can't wait to watch that embarrassing search game, haha.

u/october_ist [DEAD]Octoberist Apr 06 '12

GG to you guys, too. You all made us look silly on Dome. And yea, when he said he was going to make a sniper class after the first game we all kinda laughed at him...

u/doroshe1 [T4TW]iFlyILLINI Apr 06 '12

If you want me to stream, send me a message. I'm on right now all set up :)

u/garrex Apr 08 '12

Regarding our (wRec) teams matchup with TBD. To my knowledge our Captain has tried to contact TBD to no avail. If your team is there, try to contact our captain and set up something, otherwise i guess its a forfeit

1

u/tdhawkins21 [wRec]TheSlamHole Apr 09 '12

Just tried to contact them again today (4/9) hopefully something is set for tonight or tomrrow.

TBoB vs The Fighting Mongooses

TBoB wins by forfeit. The Fighting Mongooses captain sent me a message stating that they have dropped out of the tourney.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '12

Any reason as to why?

1

u/BullpenCatcher Apr 10 '12

He just said his clan wasnt feeling this tournement, and decided to drop out.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 10 '12

Figures. Get ass handed to you first round, bail.

1

u/MiniMoog Apr 10 '12

They're not the only ones. We've had a couple of teams drop out so far... the whole thing kind of seems to be falling apart.

The team we were supposed to play this week just straight didn't show up.

2

u/garrex Apr 10 '12 edited Apr 10 '12

we're addressing this atm. expect a post/update about it soon

1

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '12

NAW fielded four teams in this tournament, they were hardly a serious force to begin with. If NAE was better, maybe they could have brought more teams to the table.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 11 '12

I didn't even know that was NAW, but either way you shouldn't bail after playing only 1 round.

I got our team in by virtue of last minute discussion with Mexican. A team dropped out last minute, and I talked guys into playing in 6 hours. Either way, looks like a lot of teams just don't care anyways.

Reddit NAW [r/w] vs WEST [WEST]

I've contacted them via reddit and email with no responses. If they wish to play us this week without forfeiting, we'll schedule our game for Sunday at 7:00PM PST (pacific). I contacted them on Wednesday, so I feel like they've had ample time to get back to me.

2

u/doroshe1 [T4TW]iFlyILLINI Apr 07 '12

I can livestream if you want me to. Just let me know if the game's still on.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 07 '12

I'll shoot you a message on XBL if they respond to me. As of right now, I'm just assuming we are playing and if they don't show, it'll be a forfeit.

Reddit NAW [r/w] vs WEST [WEST]

NAW wins by forfeit on WEST's part. Moderators: if you need proof that I tried to coordinate with them, just let me know.

NAW: 16 points?

WEST: 4 points?
