News / Re: AAO25 WL- Map Rules
« on: Saturday, January 05, 2013, 10:20:00 AM »
Go to aascrim.eu website and look at the groups.

Now count- 8 teams per group = 7 matches = you choose 7 maps.

Easy mathematic from primary school :-)

if i had to believe thing that are stated on that website then the winter tournament was already over  ;)
but in the rules it states that no play-offs will be played, correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the bracket system the same thing as playing play-offs. 

Like caz said before the rules are vague, it would help if there is one spot like that " official "  website of the winter tournament where everything can be find and is clear.
Using two different sites to announce winter tournament information is useless.

Orly? I am interested in.
So they won't choose these maps they don't know. If you don't like these maps or don't know, you also can't choose these maps. Problem solved.

If you like to watch a vid cast of sf recon with 9 mins each round then you've got some serious patience.
Believe me it's boring to watch.

And about the maps, i believe i read somewhere that you have to play 24 matches. The map list isn't even that big, so you would have to pick the maps you don't like anyway since you can only pick one map once.

I accept all what you said about rules or competitions form, but my point is unchanged- let the people take the best fun from Winter League. We don't have strong competitive scene and we won't have it anymore. The times have changed, history is history- just forget about it.

I didn't give the idea of Winter League for money prizes, glory, "wow we are unbeaten, we know 6 maps only and we are the best", "fuck wtf long range for noobs, only competitive maps! only UA, CT, MCK, Dusk, IC!" Winter League is fun- you hate it or you like it :-)

If it supposed to be fun you should let people play whatever map they like and not restrict them to only picking it once. Since the opponent can also pick there own map, you will have two teams who picked the map they like to play instead of two teams who have to play a map they don't like just cause they picked the other maps.

Turning it into some strategic chess game of picking maps doesn't seem like the fun you are referring to.

You do realize that i was only pointing out those competitions cause they were well organized competitions.
So since this winter league is also an competition it will get compared to other competitions anyhow.

You may don't like that rule, but it let the lower teams to raise their chances playing versus better teams. Sorry but no one is interested in Legendary 11-1 Pubbers from Hospital on McKenna. This is simple- if you are good, you will win. Map or opponent no matters.

You knew that rule for long time before registration. You accepted it, it's deal.

Why would it raise the chance of a lower team playing vs a better team. The chance of a lower team playing against a better team are the same. Unless you mean that it would raise there chance of winning. But then you can also look at it different.. cause when you have a smaller choice of maps a lower ranked team can play and practice those maps more. Which will raise there chances much more.

I don't think that anyone would care i they couldn't pick sf reckon or blizzard w/e.
Besides there aren't even public servers on those maps so the lower ranked teams and newbies won't even know what sf reckon or w/e is.

you've got to be kidding me with these maps combined with the rule that you can only choose 1 map during the whole season. You might as well just stop the winter league, with that combination you can more or less rule out any vid or shoutcasting.  Nobody is interested in watching those bullshit maps like sf reckon and radio tower etc.

It's no coincidence that ESL , EMS and CAL didn't have the same maplist as TWL.

just face it without an proper competitive scene a game like this will never get interesting to be played.

I think some people are missing the point how reducing the effect of flashes would benefit the game play which would benefit in getting more players to play AA25.
To get this game back on track you would need a good competitive scene in my opinion. On some maps the length of the flashes benefits one team most, such as collapsed tunnel where assault has a big advantages because of the duration of the flashes.

Not only the competitive but also the public scene would benefit from the reduction of the duration. Just think about people who play different games such as CoD. When  they play AA the would get annoyed by the flashes which will make them not enjoying the game and won't play AA anymore.

To sum things up, look at the big picture and you will realize that the duration of the flashes is ridiculous. In 2.8.5 it was much better which improved the game play.

Introductions / Greetings from an old timer
« on: Saturday, November 24, 2012, 07:12:44 AM »
Hey fellas,

It has been a while since I have played AA, i see you guys got 2.5 back up and running which is great.
Keep it up, who knows it might go as good as it was several years ago.

For those who might not know me or need  a hint, I used to play a lot of competitions back in the days and won several of them.
I cannot remember all of my old usernames but i founded/ joined successful clans such as: Extraordinary Gaming (xtra), Epsilon and Dutch Special Forces.

Unfortunately my old hard disk crashed, I might have it repaired since it has old footage on it such as video casts from the CAL- invite final ( season 3 I believe) and the TWL Suprise tourney.
 
Anyhow enough about that, was wondering if any old timers are playing again. I thinking about having 2.5 a go to relive the good old days.

Keep it up guys!
