In my ongoing crusade to convince people NOT to ban Gorge in their team games, I’ve finalized the details for the GRAND GORGE-OFF TOURNAMENT!
Quick maths:
- Who? - 16 high elo players ranging from Diamond to Conqueror will be competing. 3 Teams are pre-mades that have played together, and the last team is comprised of solos who have never played together before (they don’t have a name yet).
- The Cord - Yikes, Ender, Mr. Warden, Raka
- DEBILS - ДокторДабстон, jiglypuf62, Xardas, Mambos
- Phantom Menace - Gods_Shadow, Karsa, FTW Cookie, Felix
- [Name TBD] - Corvinus1, Araken, Rh1sky, stay frosty324
- What? - The Grand Gorge-off is a small tournament where 4 top-ranked teams will compete ONLY on the map GORGE in 4v4 madness. We’ll have two best-of-1 semi-final games, and one best-of-3 finals game, making for a total of 5 games.
- When? - Tomorrow (Saturday, Feb 24th), at 7pm UTC, 8pm CET, 2pm EST, 11am PST. In other words, Saturday afternoon for Americans, Saturday evening for Europeans.
- Where? - I’ll be casting the games live on the ChillyEmpire Youtube channel. The games will be hosted on my Discord server.
- Why? - Because Gorge is fun.
- How do I support?
- I am accepting donations on my Ko-fi page.
- The Prize-pool is purely donation based. 100% of donations marked “For Grand Gorge-off” will go to the prize pool.
- I’ve contributed $40 so the winning players can at least afford a boba for themselves. If we can get it to $100 maybe the winners might even be able to afford dinner.
Additional notes:
- Each game will be played back to back.
- To avoid long slogs, sudden death will trigger at the 1 hour mark. After which point, the first team to have more sacred sites held will win the game.
- Shoutout to u/Xciccor for the name of the tournament. Much better than what I had before.
- Good luck and have fun!
