Highlander Challenge

[Rally Pig]

Nice "check list" as for Time zone the matches take place in the CET/CEST time zone which is 6 hours ahead of US EST, Here is the rules page http://etf2l.org/rules/highlander-rules/

Just a quick note to say that even if our first match is supposed to be tomorrow, the website still says teams haven't been placed in divisions yet and the challenge is not in the upcoming events. Trying to figure wtf is going on.

The groups are listed here: http://etf2l.org/2010/09/12/highlander-challenge-provisional-groups/

We are apparently in group 150 along with actor. and BIG. Both teams are mostly US players. Maybe that will make scheduling easier.

I'd still like to be a starter but I also don't mind being a sub if everyone else is going to be online. Just for the info board, I think I'm better as pyro or scout and worse as sniper or engy. Heavy and demo I'm middle of the road but I like those classes too.

Thanks for the link. By the way you'll probably be starting pyro if Luggage can't make it.

Now are we hoping the opposing team has a server? or do we play on ELTF2 servers?

[Taso]

I'm pretty sure they give us a random US server, if not, we can just use ours.

Do we know which superset of maps we'll be playing?  If we do, perhaps we can try to keep those in rotation and try to get our guys on the same team when playing pub.  12 per team is very different from 7 per team but will at least get us used to each other a bit and improve communications.

I am sure we can split up pyro duties.  Frankly, given my schedule, it's nice to have someone to split them with

Okay cool.

This was in the highlander rules:

    *  Group round 1: 1. Gravelpit 2. Upward
    * Group round 2: 1. Gravelpit 2. Freight
    * Group round 3: 1. Badwater 2. Badlands
    * Playoff stage:
    * Round of One Hundred Twenty-Eight: 1. Badwater 2. Granary
    * Round of Sixty-Four: 1. Goldrush 2. Freight 3. Viaduct
    * Round of Thirty-Two: 1. Dustbowl 2. Upward 3. Viaduct
    * Round of Sixteen: 1. Badlands 2. Granary 3. Viaduct
    * Quarter Final: 1. Gravelpit 2. Goldrush 3. Viaduct
    * Semi Final: 1. Dustbowl 2. Badwater 3. Viaduct
    * Final: Both teams pick one map, possible Decider Map by Map Elimination Mode

Freight pops out as a map that could be played more often on the server.

Oh god upward and gravelpit..maps that i don't like, but oh well.

Hare were trying to get freight on the server more, but nobody really seems to like it.

[Rally Pig]

but it think its stop watch mode? plus if we are using ours we have to make sure its password protected during matches....plus if thats the case maybe we can kiss some butt and get a slot open just for this cause overall i dont know if we'll beable to shut the sever down for matches...no offense to anyone but its not 100% TE so it may cause minor issues (i doubt it but always a facitor)

HOLY CRAP, i didn't check our challenges page until this morning, we have a match at 21:00 on the 19th, which is Paris time which is is 1pm Central time, 2 eastern, just letting everyone know.

EDIT: I talked to their leader, and they cant do Saturday, so the official match date is 9/19/2010 at 20:00 Paris time, map is badlands.

[Luggage]

shit!  I will be out of town for work then (leaving tonight, returning monday night).  I hope Hare Doctor or someone else can fill in.

[SaumonFrAgile]

The link Taso provided is unavailable for non-leaders. Here's the public match page: http://etf2l.org/matches/20817/

So apparently we're on badlands. We're trying to get the match on saturday, but for now it's set on sunday.

I'll post more when I'm out of class, but I'll rearrange the starting lineup.

[Hare Doctor]

So this is a friendly match?

Count me in. That time works for me, Taso.
