MOBAFire Launches New Tournament System!

[quote=Matt]Many of you may have noticed that our main menu has changed. Not only did it move to the left, which is exciting enough... It also grew! We have finally launched our new MOBAFire.com Tournament section! Rumors have been circulating for a while now about our plans to do this, and we are very excited to finally reveal it. We are still putting the system through its paces, testing it out and filling in the details. As such, our first couple of tournaments are going to be kept pretty small. Do not be misled by this, however, as this is just the very tip of the iceberg! I will post a detailed explanation of the system soon, in the support forum, so keep an eye out for that. In the mean time, we have kicked things off with two "soft opening" tournaments! Flash and myself are sponsoring these tournaments with $400 total in RP up for grabs! Both tournaments will be identical, one for EU players and one for US players. This is a 5v5 Single Elimination tournament that will be played out over a few days starting Monday. To give us time to handle any issues that crop up, we will only be running one round per day - so you will have 24 hours to complete each match. Both tournaments are limited to 16 teams each, first come first serve, so I suggest you head on over right away and sign up your team! Once 16 teams show the green "Registered" text, registration will close down and no more teams will be allowed in. To read the rules and schedule and to register your team, head on over to the tournaments section now! http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/tournaments As always, we invite any and all feedback and suggestions :) Good luck everyone![/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]I knew it wasn't just my imagination when I thought the menu moved... Quick question, these tournaments, going to be "regular" things, right? Like once every 2 months or so being "regular".[/quote]

[quote=Matt]Yes, definitely! How regular, and other such details, we don't have at this time. We built the section intending to make it an ongoing feature though, so there will definitely be more! The more people show up to compete, the more resources we will be able to devote to it, so go get the word out![/quote]

[quote=OnSpeeder]TEAMS CAN PARTICIPATE FROM EVERYWHERE IN EUROPE?FOR EXAMPLE I AM FROM GREECE CAN I TAKE PART?CAN I PLAY FROM MY PC?THX FOR YOUR TIME!![/quote]

[quote=Adonikam]0.0 Yes you can play, I'm from Australia and I'll be participating on the US server.[/quote]

[quote=OnSpeeder]and how can i do that?i will just have to be online the time its specified with my team and we will play?thats all?too easy!I like it![/quote]

[quote=Xaioli]Yeah! It is pretty easy huh? That's why I love Online Tournaments <3[/quote]

[quote=Matt]Yeah like I said we will give each round 24 hours, which means you just have to be able to negotiate a time with your opponent and complete the match within that time period. We will eventually have a comment feed on each match where you can do that, but in the mean time you can use the PM system on MOBA (we will provide PM links for you on the tournament page for each round). The "start time" of the tournament is really just the time where Flash and I will set up the first round of matches and you will see who your opponent is, you will still have 24 hours from then to actually complete the match :) We do recommend you use MOBA to plan out the match and discuss bans/picks/subs, because in the event of a dispute, having it all on MOBA is the best evidence.[/quote]

[quote=xLiqur]Maybe eventually we could have all the pregame banning and selecting happen on the officla tournement page, that way its all there for anyone and everyone to see and it would help with conflicts and disputes?[/quote]

[quote=Matt]Definitely, we will get there! The section will grow in features over time :)[/quote]
