Signing up ladder 1863 global ~1800
RCIV - Spacenet ~ 3v3 ~ $1,200
Today is the last day to register for the RCIV Tournament.
Registration will end at 2400 US time, or 0500 (UTC) time,
the Draft will commence a few hours later at 0800 (UTC) Feb 7th.
If any players "in the draft pool" have had their rating rise since registering and
would like to update their ratings,
leave your new rating below, or make contact in private chat and
it will be updated.
We have set up a temporary # Discord thread named
#rainbow-cup-draft -- here:
https://discord.gg/TPFENehS
so everyone can follow along with the draft process.
Captains will start Drafting their players there, and
as each Captain makes their draft pick,
they will then 'ping' the next Captain whose turn it is to make next draft pick.
This process will most likely take 2-5 days to complete,
as Captains will being doing their due diligence,
by contacting players to make sure they are still available to play on the 26th and 27th,
checking the players ratings history, and perhaps looking at their 'replay' vaults.
Players do Not have to be present for the draft, as the 12 Captains will do the drafting.
Good Luck to All, and Thanks for Playing.
The Registration period is now over.
Captain's will now start making their draft picks and either post on this forum,
or Preferably on the FAF Discord thread, named
# rainbow-cup-draft
https://discord.gg/TPFENehS
As each draft pick is made,
the next Captain in line will be 'pinged' to make his selection, and
the team roster in Post #4 will be updated, here
https://forum.faforever.com/topic/3016/rainbow-cup-iv-3-v-3-1-2k/4
We had a large turnout, and 60 players have registered for 36 positions.
For those who did Not get selected in the initial 2 draft rounds,
you will be placed on the "stand by" list. (also in Post #4)
A few players, will have last minute scheduling conflicts and
good chance 1 or more substitutes will be needed.
Just be ready on Saturday morning to play,
A FAF client aeolus channel -"#rainbow" will open a
couple hours before the tournament begins,
and all are welcome to join in and monitor.
There will be good chance you can fill in for a game or match, or
be a permanent substitute for the whole tournament.
Best o'luck to all, and thanks for participating.

If possible, may I take the void thrown into the mix by this absence?

Hi Morax,
thanks for the offer, to step up and help,
but LimeZ3 and Wifi_pain have already filled the vacancy.
There's a few things I'm a little confused about concerning the AIs. Dilli-Dally hasn't been updated since July of last year (and is marketed in the description specifically as a 1v1 AI), so I question whether it's the best AI to use for this tournament.
Additionally, Swarm-AI has been updated within the last few days and specifically says in the description that the latest update is designed for the Rainbow Cup tournament.
I'm just a little confused, are these 3 AIs going to be updated in the near future for the tournament?
As far as I am aware all 3 work fine on the current version of the game so should not need to be updated. The reasoning for the different AI's is depending on the map different ais are needed. Some maps are most suited to ais designed for 1v1 specifically whereas other ais are designed for larger maps and different styles.
Ras Boi's save lives.
