Blitz Battle Series

Logotype soon^tm

 

Blitz Battle Series is a Series of Tournaments, that will happen every week. There is no final tour, just tours to people pratice on weekends, for people that can't play CC on mid-weeks. Main characteristic of those tours is the number of players, being 32 per tour, with the idea of being faster tournaments.

Fee per tournament: $50.000
Tier Rotation: OU -> UU -> NU -> DB -> OU  -> UU -> ...
All tournaments would be community hosted.

Tournament prizes:

• 1st Place: $800,000
• 2nd Place: $400,000
• 3rd-4th Place: $200,000

Sometimes i can drop a mon on first place so be aware!

Notes:
Tournaments will not happen under certain weeks or in certain circunstances:

• On same Week than any big event semifinals or finals/3rd place, such as TCL, PSL, World Cup, etc... , will have the tour postponed;
• If a Community-Hosted automated tournament is scheduled for same week(I will ask to Cosmooth to put my tours on last of priority list on community hosted tours, meaning tours can be placed above me.), the tour scheduled will be postponed;
• If any community-hosted series, like Grand Slam, PGC, or VGC Seasonal, is started, no tours will be hosted on finals weeks.
• All tours would only be hosted on Saturday or Sunday(UTC timezone.) Priority is sunday on the main timezone of tours. If there is no way to host at those days, then the tour will happen on following week.
• Timezones choosen would be beetween Pacific Timezone(UTC -7), Brasilia Timezone(UTC -3), Central Europe Timezone(UTC +1) and Chinese Timezone(UTC +8). Tour will happen at 16:00 of timezone choosen, on Saturday for Pacific Timezone and on Sunday for the other ones. The timezones will appear only one per cycle(Cycle: 4 tours, one for each tier.).
• The tours are community-hosted. That means that if a Official Tournament get scheduled to same time, it will be forcedly postponed in a few hours.

 

 

Tournament timezones cycle: 

1st Week Timezones:
OU - Central Europe Timezone // UU - Chinese Timezone // NU - Pacific Timezone // Doubles - Brasilia Timezone
 

2nd Week Timezones:
OU - Brasilia Timezone // UU - Central Europe Timezone // NU - Chinese Timezone // Doubles - Pacific Timezone

New reserve. Has to wait a little bit so posts don't get merged.

 

[caioxlive13]

reserve once again

 

[caioxlive13]

first cycle ended! I will update the thread shortly. The OU tour from Cycle 2 will be postponed: It can't be hosted on Upcoming week due to johto release, and can't be hosted on 3rd August weekend due to another community-hosted tour comes on the way. So it has to be hosted 29th August.

[caioxlive13]

Rule Change, for not hosting tours:

• If any community-hosted series, like Grand Slam, PGC, or VGC Seasonal, is started, no tours will be hosted on finals weeks.

Previously qualifiers would stop hosting too because Grand Slam's qualification was automated. However, for season 2 qualifiers of slam would no longer be automated so the rule has no need to keep.

We will keep finals on the rule to not have one tour ofuscated with the other.

Are these tournaments taking the available time slots of what could be official tournaments? If yes, please stop.

My teammates are right when they talk that people there thinks that know everything.

The community-hosted tours(the type of tours i host) can't overlap with official tours, but I need to adapt to their calendar, not the other way. Also i asked cosmooth to push my tours back in priority compared to other community hosted tours, so If some1 schedule tours for same week, he can postpone my tour, like was did with the Trick Runners tournament, and will be done with Grand Slam warm-ups(I've already checked the ping of PGS, for people wondering.)

The times mentiones is the times i schedule. But almost all times i need to change 1-2h earlier or later.

Clearly they are, also forcing staff to choose certain times of tournaments as they can't overlap, instead of an official at a certain time we got pvp blitz. What's worse is we are paying the prize in signups and he contributes nothing. 

Im not yettodie, so i don't have infinity money. I had no sponsors so the tours develop in this way. If someone sponsors a tour, then we can remove fees since we no longer need them.

Also @MathewMat, you has no right to complain about me and not complain as well about @OrangeManiac, Jawaxx or @DanielaLOL, that also hosted tours with fee-based prizes. (Orangemaniac did the tours "I got Faked Out" and "Rock Slide and Hope", Jawaxx did the "High Risk/High Reward" tour and Daniela did the "Full Moon" tournament)
Even Mkns also hosted a tournament with fees.

I shouldn't be surprised because a lot of things seem to be difficult for you to understand...

 

But how do you not understand that he isn't against having an entrance fee for the tournament but against that the host is contributing absolutely nothing to the event from their own pocket? And honestly donating nothing is even fine if you do it every here and then but you're spamming these events non-stop and contributing absolutely nothing besides establishing a tournament series no one gives a single fuck about. I'm surprised the staff hasn't told you to just stop already.

 

Do not compare my events to yours. I've donated at least a million, usually much more to every single event I've ever hosted - whether it is an automated tournament or unofficial event. The participation fee in automated tournaments was done by me so that the limited 32 spots wouldn't be taken by some absolutely random "just beaten elite 4" player. But I still donated a significant sum to the event which you can see if you are able to do any kind of math.

You're litteraly the top poster in the WC general thread and I never asked staff to remove your posts and you create an entire thread just to say that I don't listen to you. And yet here, in your own event, you ask staff to censor any post you don't like. I hope you see the irony because it's not a good look.

Hello guys, just to clarify some points:

about automated tournaments, Official tournaments have priority over Community-hosted tournaments, it's not rare for me to ask to change the starting time, and Community-hosted are always reviewed after I'm sure that we have enough events and tournaments for the whole week.
Even if sometimes more than one Community-hosted are suggested in advance, I always look them one by one, week after week, and prepare it only when I'm sure that it will not impact the official calendar.

Since CaioXLive suggests a lot of tournaments we made it clear with him that if someone else wants to prepare a Community-hosted tournament, I will take this one instead and delay his series so everyone got space to prepare tournaments.

Donations are not mandatory for Community-hosted tournaments, there are rules that we added recently (officially but we have been testing for longer) that limit the possibilities of tournaments based solely on entry fees, to avoid potential issues.

That's all I wanted to add, have a nice day all!

Hid those who were repeating the question or answering it incorrectly. However, I've left legitimate concerns of players and feedback.

For slam past year you basically alternated between a week my tour, in other the tour of other people. However for Blitz Battle i make clear that doesn't matter this, can move my tour down in priority even if i doesn't get space in past 3 weeks for instance.

back to this post and tours normally next week. Answering something i forgot:

Asked for remove post leading to misinformation, like saying that my tours remove the window for a official tour, even if Official tours have priority over community hosted, and also i stated on the title that dates can change if a official tour gets in the way(Awaring people that yes, i could be forced to change time of my tour if needed, and it wasn't once i needed.). Also, I myself asked to cosmooth push my tours back in priority no matter what. If PGS would host their warm-ups on 6 consecutive weeks, nothing i could do to stop it, i would have to not host a single tour until end of November. If anyone wants a community tour to be hosted, then it could be hosted and Cosmooth will inform me to i reschedule my tour. (I wasn't rescheduling due to that because i was aware of the other's tours that would be hosted (because the hosts informed me on time) so i scheduled planning on skipping the weeks i have to.)
