Altitude ProLeague Preseason

evilarsenal · #1 02-24-2010, 03:20 AM

ACE and fLb will be exempt from this on special terms >.>

they won't matter. This won't be recorded, you do not need to submit anything. They will be ball, teams can choose their maps - best 2 out of 3... Teams will have 2 matches. Please enjoy

. I recommend that teams practice alot onn sunday since the season is coming up. All the clans will be on so try to scrim a lot and get prepared. This preseason is to warm you up!

KLF, DW,

If you want to reschedule, just talk to the other team and use a ladder server, or new england tournament.... idk if they are available but i am sure they will be

. Good luck have fun, lets have a good season

wolf'j'max · #2 02-24-2010, 10:05 AM

uh evil. these matches for bong's are at really sad times.. almost all of us is GMT + 1 or later.... so that would be around too late for us. who knows if we could resched but who knows if you could do that.

Stormich · #3 02-24-2010, 10:16 AM

Hopefully ACE and fLb will show up after TSL to play some scrims with you guys

[Y] · #4 02-24-2010, 01:03 PM

Question deleted.

evilarsenal · #5 02-24-2010, 01:06 PM

ur not serious?
its this sunday...

Stormich · #6 02-24-2010, 01:09 PM

This is a way to see what teams can be counted on for showing up in the APL, don't take it lightly even if it isn't rated.

wolf'j'max · #7 02-24-2010, 01:14 PM

...as i said. Probably none from bong's can make these times...

Stormich · #8 02-24-2010, 01:20 PM

Maybe we should try to get 2 games going at the same time, would be a lot faster and less time would be needed

EDIT: I mean the first slot is empty at 12PM and maybe have a slot at 11AM

evilarsenal · #9 02-24-2010, 01:31 PM

its also 5v5 ball, i know its different than the official but its practice for the upcoming season ;D

Mr.OneTwo · #10 02-24-2010, 02:03 PM

What day are these matches?

Stormich · #11 02-24-2010, 02:09 PM

LoL, Evil please write the date and day in your post people are confused

It's this sunday.

[Y] · #12 02-24-2010, 02:11 PM

Storm stop trolling, being a wiseass, and making stupid comments. According to evil, that's what I did when I asked my question. So delete your post before the wrath of evilarsenal descends on you. Hurry! You're running out of time!

Stormich · #13 02-24-2010, 02:16 PM

Trolling? I don't troll :P Also I'm an APL admin myself :P

andy · #14 02-24-2010, 03:38 PM

hey, our team (BB) is 12 active but mainly people are from europe so GMT+1 so if you schedule matches after 5:00 pm EST it makes it really tough for many us to show up.

Stormich · #15 02-24-2010, 03:41 PM

IMO just take everything down one hour so it starts at 11 AM est and put the last game, that is BB vs KLF at 11 AM on the other server. What say you Evil?

wolf'j'max · #21 02-24-2010, 11:44 PM

Ye ye i know but its just to inform him thay scheduling on a good time for us immediately would be very much appreciated.

Tosconi · #22 02-25-2010, 12:21 AM

eeeh you changed time for TC vs DW...hmm

, ok we've got to reschedule this

I understand how much time does this all scheduling takes, so I only propose - that the mostly european teams: KLF, BB's, DW, ##, maybe ACE - play first (before 3pm as bong also mentioned).

may I propose the following changes?

Altitude ProLeague Server 1
JC vs ## 12:00 PM est
## vs IB 1:00 PM est
-----KLF vs. DW 2:00 PM est
-----DX vs JC 3:00 PM est
-----RIP vs DX 4:00 Pm est
-----IB vs RIP 5:00 PM est

Altitude ProLeague Server 2
IL vs. Bong's Bitches 11:00 AM EST
BB vs. KLF 12:00 PM EST
----TC vs DW 1:00 PM EST
L* vs. Ball 2:00 PM EST
Ball vs. FN 3:00 PM EST
FN vs. Sammich 4:00 PM EST
Sammich vs. IL 5:00 pm EST
--- TC vs L* 6:00 PM EST

unfortunatelly i don't know where DX, IB and RIP come from.

80% of JC is GMT or GMT 1+ (europe)

Tosconi · #25 02-25-2010, 02:40 AM

that is why i also proposed to reschedule JC earlier...

NastyManatee · #26 02-27-2010, 08:04 AM

So uhh... why the crap are these ball games?

I feel as if I should take a moment to also voice my discontent with the format of the preseason. We did it preseason of last league and it was all well and dandy, we all had a good time and certainly some fun games were played towards the end there. However, with the introduction of Ball Ladder and the completion of the recent ball tourney, I'm at present personally all balled out. When I play ball it feels like a game, whereas when I throw down on a TBD match it feels like a mission. Furreal fellas, Altitude is srs bzns, and although the competitive nature of ball should not be understated, TBD is the true essence of Altitude.

The argument could be made that the preseason is a time where active teams show just how serious they really are and organize scrims on their own time. I believe tho that, realistically speaking, by the end of the preseason one would be hardpressed to find even any one team who plays nearly the equivalent of the number of matches we have scheduled for the current preseason.

That said, I believe it should also be noted that most of the 16 teams are fairly inexperienced in terms of the number of times they've had an opportunity to scrim a more established team. The invaluable experience that can be gained from prescheduled scrims will make the league more competitive. I might add that I learn something every time I play the game, so giving these under-tested teams an opportunity to practice and learn in the format that the actual season is going to be played is beneficial to everyone.

That is all
<33 all around

I agree -- while I'm always up for a competitive Ball game, our {ball/*} TBD team has yet to play a single TBD match. We're fielding a strikingly different team for TBD than we field for Ball, so the preseason games will certainly be good practice, but my personal, not-speaking-for-Ball-clan opinion is that it'd be nice to have a mix of all game styles: TBD, Ball, maybe even TDM or 1BD or something. Still, I think it's a neat idea to have Ball games for preseason -- it'd be easy to just go the "TBD everywhere" route, but mixing it up with different modes will probably lead to more memorable games.

And there's always a possibility of some quick TBD scrims before/after the scheduled Ball matches. =)

Stormich · #31 02-27-2010, 05:28 PM

Maybe we should put ball as default but can be changed if both teams agree to play tbd? Evil? lol

That sounds like a good idea to me, but hopefully no arguments will arise.

evilarsenal · #33 02-27-2010, 08:14 PM

Stormich · #38 02-28-2010, 09:02 AM

So as the people that have abused are being rolled back I removed the bans from APL servers for Stack and Luke, hopefully this isn't going to cause any arguments with other admins.

NastyManatee · #39 02-28-2010, 05:37 PM

Gahhhhh, my matches are right in the middle of the US vs. Canada hockey match. Not fair, not fair on any level!

Stormich · #40 02-28-2010, 06:05 PM

I can do livereport if you want
