FAFLive ShowMatches

[Blackheart]

I disagree with @Swkoll here: The point of a showmatch is to be entertaining. Thats why its called "showmatch" and not "Championship" or "Epic duel to death over 999 games". Its a nice way to test out more unconventional settings (like mapgen unexplored or whatever ideas) and to have something a bit more serious/organized than just random ladder games. Why would you not try your hardest when playing, if its a "soft" split? Everyone likes to win more than lose, I dont think thats an issue whatsoever. The soft split is there to keep it friendly and to compensate the potential non-perfect competitive setting a showmatch can have.

Where do the faflive funds come from?

[nine2]

Is it ad revenue or something?

[Tagada]

It's coming from Subs probably

[Swkoll]

@nine2

For the last month:
$39.36 Subs
$4.47 Cheering
$3.51 Ads

A small amount of this is reoccurring, but we saw big spikes during the days the Spring Invitational was streamed, especially during the playoffs.

Will there be discord pings for future show matches?

[FtXCommando]

Yeah, works out well for these actually since show matches are a bit more sporadic to organize compared to traditional tournaments.

Yes, actually going to put all the stuff in the OP as well, similar to how I structure the matchmaker thread.

The next showmatch should be a 7 Game ShowMatch between Nexus and Tagada for $100, May 21st 14:00 UTC. It's intended to serve the dual purpose of showcasing the highest level of FAF in both gameplay (Nexus, Tagada) as well as mapping (Jip, biass, svenni). I'll ping people about the event on FAF Discord as we get closer to the date.

It will be getting casted by Swkoll and archsimkat.

Jip was gracious enough to put forth €100 euros to host a showmatch between Tagada and Nexus to promote Jip’s, Biass’, and Svenni’s maps. The date was already agreed upon by both Tagada and Nexus, and is set for May 21st, 14:00 UTC. Prizepool split is 60/40 and was agreed upon by both players. Casting will be by archsimkat and Swkoll on faflive.

Showmatch will be a 7 map series on the following map pool:

• Autumn
• Mauve
• Gateway & Rose
• Kaali
• Moon
• Aalhaven
• Archsimkat’s Valley

Maps will be played in the order above. Each map is a bo1, with draws replayed. Faction picks are done with FTX’s system (both players submit 2 factions to play, and one faction to ban from the opponent). The player with more map wins at the conclusion of all maps is the winner of the showmatch.

[Wurstbert]

Is it best of seven and ends when 1 player won 4 maps or are all 7 maps supposed to be played?

[Tagada]

It's not a BO7 but a 7 game series.

I can play with Tex, but it need to have smth to we fight for
