Hello! As most know, I'm hosting a Left 4 Dead 2 Tournament, so I wanted to make another thread once I had all the official information lined up.
Timing is tentative, but it's scheduled for Saturday, February 24th at 4PM EST. Sunday will be used as a potential fallback day if things go awry, which brings me to my next point.
This time around, winning isn't just for bragging rights! Everyone in the tournament has a server of their choice they can win items for. For those that choose TTT, the first place winners will get 4 crates of dumb garbage (or any other crate, but we know you'll choose that), and second place will get to choose any item from a list of available items. I'm sure we'll be able to swing something similar with other servers, but I was just too excited to get this post off the ground to wait any longer.
The most important part, though, is the teams and players. Everyone mostly got to pick their own teams, and I gotta say, most of them are pretty decent. This one's probably going to be a nail biter, honestly, I can't even come close to predicting a winner. So good luck to them, and here's an introduction!

The bracket can be viewed here and will have points, though it's mostly useless, and I have a picture for it below. (peep the name of the league/season). Bracket was randomized a few times by a number randomly picked out by bab, so there's no seeding at all, pure randomness. 3 matches at a time over 3-4 hours, then a final match for the two highest scorers.

There might be issues I can't account for, even with a dry run, for this due to server problems. I know in past tournaments I've held we had some issues, but this time I'm going to be as prepared as possible...it just might not be enough We're going to do the best we can, and figure it out some as we go along. I hope I can ensure everyone has a good time!
I hope everyone can come watch. Spectating is going to be figured out over the weekend, hopefully I can come up with something that is still enjoyable to watch, old games are hard on that.
