About EVO teams
« on: February 02, 2010, 02:20:33 PM »
Hey guys, obviously the spotlight is on the vote right now, but let's also start talking about teams tournament.  This shit will go down whether we are a main event or not, and has the potential to draw out a lot of the players who are currently on the "if it ain't main event i ain't goin" train.  I think that because of the main event potential people are forgetting the potential hype of EVO team tourney.  It's pretty conceptually hype that in the middle of the country all the regions can meet and have a teams tourney with regional teams and/or cross country teams competing en masse.

So, we had that Melty Cup thing before with the high stakes team tournament, but not that many teams were present.  Well, MBAA is a lot bigger than MBAC and people are more hype about it, so even if we don't have an intimidatingly high entry fee like 50$ per person, a higher than normal stakes team tournament with our presently larger demographic has the potential for a huge pot and ridiculous hype.

So, how do people feel about a high stakes team tourney?  The entry could be anything.  Even making it like 25$ per person would keep it relatively accessible and the pot would be 1000$ with just 40 people, the turnout of BBGxii.  I don't know about other people, but the prospect of competing with my teammates for a 1000+$ pot against teams from across the country would be pretty alluring to me.  I think because of the main event vote, people are losing sight of how epic MBAA will be even without the "special" badge.  We should start getting hype about EVO in general, not just praying to be a main event.

I'd be all for this, especially if it's 3v3.

That'd be the best option if EVO sees 100+ for MB. I can team with my 2 friends that way instead of leaving one out  :slowpoke:

If MB wins the poll and is official this year, I'll be forced to go.
That means TEAM TIGER makes an appearance!

part of the point is to make the teams tourney approximately as hype as being a main event to have as much draw

post all your dumb ideas for random additions too, some of them could be plausible and hype

A 3v3 team tourney sounds hype. Also how about $20 a person = $60 a team?

10 teams = $600; Where top 2 teams go 80/20.

Sounds good guys?

$20 sounds good with 80/20, so 2nd place gets something and first place still gets a shitton. I like it.

so should someone post a hype up thread in tournaments/events

people should get hype and start gettin' together teams

we can run this even if we are a main event, right?

Yes but it's up to us to secure setups.
