Take that Sladow.

Just to give you some context, FAF has been targeted by quite a few DDoS attacks recently. There was a period when the servers would go down almost daily, which made it tough to host any consistent events—casual games and especially tournaments.

Lately, the attacks have slowed down, though they still pop up unpredictably. For example, our recent MapGen tournament was hit mid-event, which forced us to postpone the games to the next day. Unfortunately, that change led to some teams leaving because they couldn't make the adjusted time. So the DDoS thread still exists , But overall, it’s looking more promising also since there is a lot of acitivity in the TD team now and if the stability holds, it could be the right moment to bring more regular tournaments back.

Yo i cannot play , unsign me.

Yea @Jip very well done!

@rudeplayer bruh

Wdym Traditional Setons is played 4v4? We actually had a 2v2 Setons tournament not too long ago , It’s a bit much to assume everyone will understand your format just from a map picture. A well-structured and balanced tourney really helps attract players to sign up.

The link I shared earlier has a great example of a balanced 4v4 Setons tourney format that might be helpful to check out if you're aiming for a clear and organized setup.

Tourney seems a bit unclear , are you aiming for a high rated setons or a lower one ? is it 2v2 or 4v4 ? can i just stack a team with tagada yudi farms ? How is the tourney gonna be balanced if there are 5 teams >1800 and the other 5 teams under <1700.
https://forum.faforever.com/topic/3523/setons-wars-tournament here you have an example of a nice balanced 4v4 seton tourney might want to give it a look or contact me in Discord if u need help with the setup.

Congratulations to Team SigmaMaleCryptoTrader!

A huge congratulations to Team SigmaMaleCryptoTrader (Hybrid, Vindex, and Blast_Chilled) for winning the tournament—a well-deserved victory! I’d also like to express my gratitude to the TD team and everyone who helped organize the event. Without their support, it would have been overwhelming, but the tournament turned out fantastic!

It went so well that we might considering turning this into a series?!—so stay tuned for the 2025 tournament schedule! With the renewed enthusiasm within our TD team, next year looks very promising!

Don’t forget, we’ve got more action coming with the Double Allied Tournament 3 next week and LOTS next month, so stay sharp and get ready for more epic battles!

Finally, I’m excited to announce that Blast_Chilled has been named the MVP of the tournament for some truly remarkable plays!

Thank you to all participants and viewers for making this a memorable event—we look forward to seeing you in the next one!

I understand the situation with using a translator and being at work, but I must be strict about following the tournament rules to ensure fairness for everyone.
Since your team exceeds the 5900 rating cap with a total of 5909, I’m unable to accept your registration. The requirement to provide exact ratings using the frozen leaderboard was clearly outlined, and it’s important that all teams adhere to this rule.
Feel free to re-submit if you can form a new team within the limits.

Hello Neytron
First of all you have not signed up corretly , me and Ftx established that being close to the rating cap you'd have to actually use the frozen rating SS to provide exact rating to see if the team is egible to get formed.
Second point : I had to check it for you and figure it out and found out that your team is not in fact 1800+1800+2300 but instead is 1836+1817+2256=5909 , if you had provided the rating correctly as i ruled before and asked for allowance to form the team i'd would let you pass but now i am very tempted to just not let you form the team since it exceeds 9 points over the limit and you not putting the little effort to sign up corretly as ruled , instead you think you can get away unnoticed or just didnt care to check at all which both these actions would piss me off and thats why yall make being TD so hard.
