    • NOC Resignation from TD Lead

      Hello Everyone,

      As the title suggests I am resigning from my role as Lead of the Tournament Director team.

      This team currently consists of:
      NOC
      Hybrid
      Doni
      Rhaelya
      Fearghal
      Syndicus
      Tagada
      Farms

      With my resignation I will leave it up to the other tournament directors to decide who they wish to be their new leader via democratic vote.

      My resignation is primarily due to a lowering amount of time I have available to host and run tournaments as well as various other reasons which do not need to be discussed.

      In light of this as of tonight 15th December at Midnight GMT I will leave my office and allow the tournament team to decide their future and place their fate in new hands.

      I wish to give a personal thank you to everyone for watching and participating in tournaments as well as a thank you to the rest of the tournament and FAFLive team for aiding in the running and streaming of these tournaments.

      I will hang around and play FAF still but will not actively be managing tournaments.

      Thank you and it has been a pleasure, I hope you enjoyed tournaments during my time in office.

    • Tournament Warnings

      Hello All,

      Following a discussion held by the Tournament team we have come to a decision of a new policy regarding warning and banning players for repeatedly disrupting tournament proceedings.

      The policy is as follows:
      2 verbal warnings
      1 ban from next FAF official tournament

      If a player gets a combined 5 warnings they will be banned from Official Tournaments for 6 months.

      Offences:
      Not showing up to the tournament without prior telling the Tournament Director or Team that you will not be present.
      As usual after 15 minutes no show you will be disqualified and now will receive a warning.
      We can be contacted on Discord, Forums and in FAF channel that has been selected for the tournament.

      Deliberately slowing down the tournament and tournament proceedings for example playing another game during the FAF tournament.

      Leaving/Resigning from the tournament without telling the Tournament Director or team that you are doing so.

      Harassment of any tournament team member will result in an instant ban from the next official tournament.

      Important:
      In order to be eligible for any money prizes you must complete all of your matches.
      If you get to finals and do not want to play you will forfeit your prize.

      Any questions please ask the tournament team.

    • RE: Calling for nine2 to resign as Promotions Councillor

      You want to help FAF when your clearly promoting an external game using the FAF player base to make money.
      Your clearly utilising the news feed which is under your direct control to try and cause a biased election.
      The only change your trying to make here is reducing FAF player base to increase your games player base so you make money.

      Theyre not trying to save their own skin as Biass, FTX, Keyser, Turin any of the others do their job and they do it well. They do not cause issues to the level that you have.
      Yes there is some toxicitiy there always is.
      People have a difference of opinion. It always causes an issue thats life.

      As from your previous post. "And if election integrity is something that is something that must be fiercely enforced ... just you wait for part 2".
      Is this a direct threat the community of retaliation as you did not get your way.

      I may not know the entire ins and outs of the council. Nor do I fully care. If Sheeo and FTX have a disagreement then I assume their arguing whether something is the best for FAF.
      My issue is your clear abuse of your position.
      That is why there is a call for your resignation not because of toxicity but due to the power abuse.

      Hello and welcome to the 2023 Summer Invitational Tournament! The annual Summer Invitational is a top level 1v1 tournament featuring a series of invited players and an open qualifier to find the top 16 players on FAF. For those who are not familiar, there will be series of invites sent out to previous tournament winners, and an open qualifier on September 23rd to fill the remainder of the slots. This is followed by a group stage on September 30th where the top 8 players will advance to a single elimination playoff bracket on October 7th - 8th whose winners will receive prizes and glory!

Invites will be sent out to the top 12 players on that list and if any of the top 12 do not wish to participates, additional invites will be sent to the players next in line. In addition, the qualifier has gone back to being fully open to all players who wish to participate.

      This is an open qualifier, all players are welcome to participate. It will be a double elimination tournament with BO1s and BO3s in the winner's bracket and BO1s in the loser's bracket.

      This will consist of 4 groups of 4 players playing a round robin style tournament with the top 2 of each group advancing. Games will be BO3s. Groups will be chosen by a captains system. The players with the top 4 highest invitational points will act as captains taking turns picking the remaining 3 players in their groups. The player with the most points will get Group A and first pick. Group B captain will pick second with following picks made using a snake system.

      Maps will be chosen by players from a pool of 11 using a veto/pick system with 2 vetoes each, players will make alternating vetoes and picks with loser seed vetoing first and higher seed picking first. For the last pick players will resume vetoing from the remaining maps until only one map remains with lower seed vetoing first. Faction veto will also be used.

      This is a single elimination tournament with all BO3 matches expect for the championship match which will be BO5. Maps are chosen by players in a pick/veto system from a pool of 15 with 3 vetoes each, players will make alternating vetoes and picks. Players advancing from the group stage can submit one map to the finals bracket map pool (subject to Tournament Director veto). For the last pick players will resume vetoing from the remaining maps until only one map remains with lower seed vetoing first. Faction veto will also be used.

    • RE: Seton's Clutch is as disgusting as Dual Gap

      This man has clearly not matched many setons if he thinks we only play a certain way

    • RE: Legend of The Stars 2022 Championship Tournament

      Hello All,

      This is a brief statement regarding the Legend of the Stats 2022 timescale.
      A more in-depth post will be available soon under the Tournaments Tab.

      This years tournament will have 8 invites to the top players.
      Followed by two Qualifiers where the top 4 of each qualifier will join the 8 invited players.

      Qualifier 1: 19th November 2022.
      Qualifier 2: 3rd December 2022.

      Followed by a 16 player round robin event group stage.

      Group Stage - split between Groups A & B, Groups C & D.
      Groups A & B - 10th December 2022.
      Groups C & D - 11th December 2022.

      This is to increase the number of castable games.

      The final 8 will play an elimination bracket the same as the Invitationals prior in this year.

      Final 8 - 17th December 2022.

    • RE: Matchmaker Team Sentons 4v4 TMM Inclusion

      In contrast to many other people's opinions here. I will say to add it (Yes I am a setoner)

      1. You do not need to know how to play setons at a high level to play the map. The majority of 4v4 tmm games hit a max rating of 1800. I dont know many setoners that even play 4v4 tmm so it is rare you will even get them in your lobby.
        You do not require build orders or expert knowledge of the map.
        Its quite simple when you look at it from any skill level. There is water you make navy, there is a land area you make land, there is a back slot with not much else so air and eco.

      2. Even though there are lots of setons games hosted we host these are nobody else does. I host a fair few 2000+ setons if there are enough high level people online as the map is not featured anywhere else.

      3. Setons is fucking great at teaching you shit. Yes you can learn how to eco in dual gap however setons teaches tree reclaim and the value of it, teaches you to eco while still maintaining a sizeable army equal to your opponent, and includes all aspects to large respect to each other. You need early land mid, you need navy and you need air, it teaches a vast amount of unit experiance and allows you to experiment and see what works well where.
        In the interest that atleast 60% of this community does not understand tree reclaim or proper unit combinations it would be great to help them learn that.

      4. This can be played as a chill map, a cancer map or as anything it holds soo many options its dumb to exclude it. The vast majority of 4v4 is maps that you can only win playing a certain way. Setons is not like that.

      5. In relation to what @Jip said - the rating system can't properly represent the skill of players on that specific map. WHEN THE FUCK CAN RATING SYSTEM REPRESENT THE RIGHT SKILL. Take Tagada for example, he will hate me for it but its fact he is currently 2600 global. On setons he is 2200 at best. Other maps he is probably easy 2400. Take a 2000 dual gapper and put him on metir and he will be useless. The rating system cannot predict any correctly to be honest on any map so why bother with this argument on setons.

      6. Yes setons can last long. This is good though. You have to learn how to properly end the game. Whether that be Paragon, Mavor, Nuke Subs, TML bases, Land invasion, air domination. Half the players especially low level can get to 500 mass income but they dont know how to actually end the game. Setons teaches that.

      7. Yes it can lag sometimes if you get 2 large navy fights and 500 asf each team on the map. That is no different however to metir, meridia, dual gap.

      8. The map is one of the few maps not featured anywhere else.

      9. In relation to @maudlin27 comment: Dont support - the main reason is I think it will lead to an increased likelihood of 'toxic' type behaviour.
        People who are familiar with Setons will expect teammates to play a very specific way and seem more likely to get angry if they dont (vs some random 20km map that few people have played).

      Some setoners I will happily admit can be a bit insulting sometimes. That is because were often use to 1800 + only lobbies with other people who know the map and understand it. So we insult each other when we play shit.
      In no way can you say adding setons to 4v4 tmm will increase toxicity.
      There are maybe 4 setoners I know who regularly play tmm and these guys if we get you in setons we will play and advise.
      And I mean advise. We will ping saying what to do, make some navy, attack where, get this reclaim.
      How is this any different to dual gappers doing the same pinging who is doing what and where to do shit to other players.

      In no way will adding Setons to 4v4 tmm increase toxicity. If anything we will love it. More people learn the map, some like it some dont. The ones that do like it will play it more, learn more, grow more then we have more setoners to fill our lobbies.
      We will literally help you learn the map so we can have better games.

      1. The greatest casts and clips of FAF have come from 1v1 games and Setons games. Because thats where the good shit happens. Add it to 4v4 tmm and you will be giving more content to the casters, reviewers, streamers all of them.

      2. We I think are the only FAF community to have a guy over 60 years old playing and still better than the majority of FAF.
        What more evidence do you need of its greatness.
        God Bless Mizer.

      I rest my case.
