Now Casting CS:GO with ESEA
Twitter: @BLUCSGO
Okay so in the registration it has for first qualifiers July 12 (NA) / July 13 (EU) and on the newspage its Europe: July 12, 2014 at 10AM PDT (17:00 GMT)
North America: July 13, 2014 at 10AM PDT (17:00 GMT). I think theres a mistake somewhere
Just fixed this, sorry for any confusion, dates on the blogpost were correct.
Can the team name be different from guild name? I’m thinking yes but wanna make sure
Yep that’s fine
Are roster changes allowed after submission up until the tournament?
July 7th is the last day for changes, can be done by emailing me (john@mistpedia.net)
Blog Post With Rules/Dates (Please read before signing up!)
Any questions people have I can try to answer them as well. Let the games begin.
Adding a Common QA section from stuff im often getting through tells and PMs:
JUNE 30TH UPDATE
Signup form will remain open until 11:59PM PDT on June 30th (Today). This translates to 2:59AM EDT and 08:59 CEST on Tuesday Morning. Make sure you have your team’s signup submitted by this time as NO submissions will be accepted past this time.
As a reminder teams may still request roster changes until July 7th by emailing me at john@mistpedia.net with the appropriate information.
RSVP Emails will be sent out to invited teams over the course of the 30th-31st. Make sure you check your inbox for this and respond to it ASAP!
If you do not get an email in the first round do not be disappointed! We are expecting a decent number of teams to decline their invitation and more waves of emails will be sent out pending any declines.
More information on the brackets and play day procedures along with scheduling, casters, and locations of ToL2 streams will be coming soon, Stay Tuned!
JUNE 30th UPDATE 2
The First Wave of Invitations has been sent out to NA Players. EU invitations will be sent out a little bit later as we are still sorting out the last few spots. The following NA teams need to contact me either in game or through email as the email they had listed was invalid
JULY 1ST UPDATE
The first wave of European Invites have been sent. The following teams need to contact me due to invalidated emails.

Just putting out a reminder that the MP Weeklies are restarting this week starting tomorrow with the EU 2v2 at 20 CEST! For all of our tournaments we have 2k gems per player for first place and 800 gems per player for second place so if youre interested go ahead and sign up ^_^
Can you tell me if any of the Outplayed by Children roster is invalid? Our team captain is basically Mia and I can’t access his email or him to check. If you could email any other member of the team that would be great.
I just had a quick glance at the spreadsheet. Pretty sure your team’s names are correct.
ooo so there is no ip address region restriction?
and i think, no linking to guild wars 1 hall of monuments as well?
BLUna, what ping do you get for playing on china servers? and what location you are playing from?
I get a varied ping. I use a VPN to lower it but it sits around 200ms on average playing from East Coast USA
You can but a theres a few things to go through:
When it comes down to a replay system and comparing it to Starcraft or a MOBA the thing you have to remember is that those games operate on a 2D plane which has to be rendered back to the player in a completely editable (rewind, fast forward, etc) form. Im still semi-new to programming and I don’t know too much about graphics but I would imagine rendering a third dimension back to the player with all of these features would be an even more difficult task to accomplish.
While Im not saying it isnt a possibility in the future I wouldnt expect it anytime soon.
@OP, We have your information, as stated in the email that was sent to all teams, so long as you replied with your roster you are fine.
@Rezz, the reason I haven’t been replying to my emails is because I already sent an email to all EU captains with all the information I have available in addition to the message that it was being worked on, making it rather pointless to reply with the same information once again. Mark also posted some time ago with this information on another thread. I am also somewhat busy with Semester finals at the moment, and as such I do not have a lot of free time to work on GW2 projects, let alone play the game. We have all rosters confirmed now and that was the only thing holding it back on MP’s end. If I get an opportunity tonight Ill see if I can send out one more email to NA teams as well.
@Maylo Im almost positive Sireph had sent that out, if we were missing your team’s information that may have been why but Ill check with him on that.
Edit @Maylo: Money wasnt sent to your team due to a clerical error, you should get it today.

Hey there guys! Mistpedia is currently in the process of expanding our operations and as such we are looking for people to help us out in bringing news, tournaments, and more to the SPvP community! If you are interested in helping us grow, we are currently looking for people to fill the following roles:
We are also interested in the following roles. While we may not currently be recruiting for these rolls, some applicants may be accepted in exceptional cases
If you are interested in any of the above roles, go ahead and fill out the application below and tell us what you’d like to do. If you have any further questions go ahead and toss them in the thread here.
EDIT: Formulas
AF=min{100+4Ns+2Nr+Nk,150)
Ea=(1)/[1+{10^(Rb-Ra)/400}]
R^1a=Ra+K(Sa-Ea)
Rating Change = K-factor * ( Result – Expected Result )
After carefully evaluating these formulas I have found them to be legitimate. Carry on.

Thanks again for jumping in at the last second to help us out ;D
Pretty sure it was 0-0-2-6-6 with Clerics Amulet and Monk Runes, not sure on the sigils though.
Theres usually a whole stream of issues related to the servers a few weeks before/after every major patch. Its probably the servers.
Heres a video of it
Give me Snoop Dogg/Lion and I’ll be happy.

On topic though, the CN announcer is amazing. Volvo (ANet) please add this. Heres he full stream VoD in case anyone wanted to see it.

Alrighty guys here is how the schedule is going to work for participating teams (all of this information with more specifics will also be emailed to all RSVP’d NA teams tomorrow night). For Match IDs, please check the brackets
The bracket will be split into eight individual pools. Each teams’ pool will determine the start of play time for each team. Each pool will start thirty minutes apart from each other. Once play starts at your scheduled time expect to play through the round of 16 consecutively. You may be given a short break (5-10 minutes) if you so request it between each round. The pools will start at the following times:
These start times are strict. A 5 minute grace period will be given before the game is started regardless of if the team is present or not. Due to this, we recommend teams join the server about 10 minutes early (server passwords will be given in the email being sent out, server names are listed below) to avoid any issues. Unless you are in Pool 1, please check in with your admin to ensure you will not be joining the server in the middle of a game as this may cause issues. Admins may attempt to contact you approximately five minutes before your match, however if information on your team’s application is incorrect some admins may be unable to accomplish this.
Each pool has four games in the Ro64, please check below to see which Server/Administrator you will report to for your Ro64 game:
The Admins for the first round can be reached at their IGNs:
When/If your team makes it to the Round of 16, your game may be played immediately or you may be asked to wait as the stream will be starting with the Ro16 and we may want to showcase your game on the stream. If we do not want to showcase your game you will more than likely play it immediately after your Ro32 game and then be given a break until the Ro8 play starts. All Games from the Ro8 onward will be shown on stream.
Once the Ro8 has been completed, play for Saturday will end. For any teams remaining at this point, you will need to checkin with an admin again on Sunday morning. Play will resume on Sunday at 4PM EDT // 1PM PDT
That about wraps it up for how were going to handle things, I just wanted to toss out a few reminders so teams make sure they have no issues playing on the days of:

Check this post I answered the same question there.
As posted in other forums, the best way to reach me is via email at john@mistpedia.net. In regards to your question yes you are being allotted one emergency change (you must do it through email though). Unlike EU however, we will not be allowing these Emergency swaps to happen on the day of the tournament.

ArenaNet is in the process of handling the rewards now. If there are any issues we will be contacting the teams via their captain’s email. Just keep in mind as per this post prizing could take up to two weeks to be delivered.
NA Brackets Finalized
Is this it: http://mp.challonge.com/ToLNA ?
My question is that based on your EU seeding and NA seeding all of 8 you chose have 1 team in different bracket groups except for 1.
On the NA side bracket group E-H has two of your top 8 hand-picked teams seeded in the same group. Whereas bracket-group AC-AF have none of the seeded teams of the top 8.
My point being, any team in the E-H cluster has a much harder time getting into the top 8 than a team in the AC-AF cluster. Was this intentional? It seems odd that you’d only stack that one bracket group with more than one top-pick.
AC-AF has a 6 seed…so idk if this was changed since when you saw or maybe you overlooked it?
Team ‘Elusive’ may be listed as a 6 seed but they were not mentioned as one of the top 8 seeds.
Team Teamwork was, however, listed as a top 8 pick but now they appear as ‘9’.
Logically it looks like numbers got messed up somewhere and Team Teamwork was listed as #9 by accident instead of #6.
I’ll edit the source for the top 8 NA seeded teams in a second.
NA
- Good Fights
Apex Prime:- Outplayed by Children:
- Team Lonely:
- Team Teamwork:
- No Good Intentions,
Obeesports,
It Aint Ez Bein KPz:
Being in the 8 preselected teams did not guarantee a top 8 seed in the brackets. Ellusive was formed extremely close to the tournament, with this in mind along with other reasons they were not picked for preselected teams. The reason they were placed within the higher seeds is because MP staff members such as myself had seen them improve in weekly tournaments or team arena play over some of the teams listed after them which is why they are within the higher cluster.
NA Brackets Finalized
We need to go [OuT] haven’t recive any mail. -.-
Your team was invited but we never received a response to the email. Feel free to PM me to see what went wrong.
You can make predictions? Sweet.
ANet should give out some prize to whoever has the best bracket
Yeah just a little feature im playing with, maybe Ill toss out a little congratulations to the guy that gets it the best or something
EU Brackets are now finalized
Just as a last minute update, the brackets should be finalized in the next few hours. I apologize in advance for their instability, but due to teams dropping out with roster issues and new ones being added in it has reshaped positions for teams a couple of times. Once I have a confirmed 64 Ill lock it down and update this post.
Edit: also NA brackets will be available either tonight or tomorrow.
Edit Edit: EU BRACKETS ARE NOW FINAL

Next Group has been invited, they have until 11:59PM EDT on 4/24 to respond:
Alrighty guys here is how the schedule is going to work for participating teams (all of this information with more specifics will also be emailed to all RSVP’d EU teams either tomorrow or Friday night).

Are teams that you don’t know just randomized for their seed?
Essentially, Ive been checking with a few EU community members to make sure I dont miss any teams to be in seeded positions, its been a few days since I checked so I may do one more checkin before I finalize the brackets. Everyone else gets a random seed.
I also just updated the Mistpedia article for EU teams. If teams have Mistpedia articles you should be able to see their rosters now assuming they have kept them updated. For those that don’t if I get some free time between now and the event Ill try to create some pages for teams.
Next Group’s emails are now being sent out. This wave has until 11:59PM on 4/23 to respond with an RSVP, please make sure you are checking your emails.
EU
North American teams are now filled up, pleas keep in mind however that some teams may still drop out for personal reasons so slots may still open up, in regards to times of play, I will be making a post either tomorrow or Thursday with the full schedule for EU teams (this will also be sent in an email to all participating EU teams).
The following teams have invalid emails and need to contact me in game:

mfw Backpack thread
The following teams have just been invited. If you are one of these teams please check your emails. This group has until Tuesday at 6PM EDT to respond.
NA
EU
Please note that because we have not received RSVPs from 64 teams yet these are subject to change if certain teams are added through the reserve list.
The tournament of legends will be streamed to the main Guild Wars 2 Twitch Channel but there are events that happen throughout the week as well. The PvP event subforum has a lot of where you can watch them. In regards to weekly tournaments…
All of these can be viewed on my stream
I also have plans to start up 3v3 cups sometime over the summer so details on that will be over on the events sub once its a thing.
In regards to just solo PvP streamers such as Ostrich, CmC, etc you can find their details over on Grouch’s PvP Beginner’s Post
Emails have been sent out, teams have until Sunday (4/20) at 12PM EDT to respond before the next wave is invited. Also as a reminder for our substitution rules if any EU teams have roster changes to make they must communicate them to me by 4PM EDT tomorrow (4/19) or they will not be accepted. The first draft of the brackets for EU will also come out at this time tomorrow.
The following teams had an invalid email tied to their submission and must contact me:
The following teams have been added from the reserve list. Emails to RSVP these teams have NOT been sent out yet, I will update this post when they have. Please keep in mind teams added through the reserve list will have less time to confirm their RSVPs, so make sure you keep an eye on your junk folders and respond ASAP!
North America
Europe
Because of this the original post made on this post about current participating teams as well as the Mistpedia article are temporarily out of date. Please check the official document for up to date team information. If your team was removed from the tournament and you believe this was done by mistake. Contact me via email at john@mistpedia.net
In regards to rationalization for each team that was pre-invited:
NA
EU
With North American I was familiar with a lot of the teams because of my ability to spectate team queue games through the Authorized Shoutcaster Program. As I do not get as many chances to spectate on EU, these choices were slightly harder to make. I had spoken with a few EU members of the Authorized Shoutcaster program and some of these teams were their suggestions.
Apologies in advance if people find these explanations lackluster. If anyone has further questions in regards to how/what I considered they may feel free to contact me.
As a reminder teams that have made it in MUST reply to the email I sent out early Tuesday morning. The following teams have yet to reply as of 4:30 EDT on 4/16:
NA
EU
Teams have until tomorrow, 4/17 at 9PM EDT to reply or you will be replaced. If you have not recieved an email from me, check your spam/junk inboxes, and if the email still cannot be found, contact me in game. If you did send me an email reply and you are still on this list, please contact me in game or send another email so we can sort it out The following teams have invalid emails tied to their submissions and will need to contact me in game to fix their information:
I have also started sending out emails to teams from the reserve list. Teams invited from this list may have a shorter amount of time to respond so if you are toward the top of either region’s list make sure you are keeping an eye on your emails.
(edited by BLUna.7928)
The Full list along with a link to the reserve list order is now on the mistpedia page
Did they announce how they selected the 8 reservation teams?
Im going to be adding that on either tomorrow or Wednesday, right now I need to get all of the appropriate information posted for those that got in.
All teams that made it into the tournament will be receiving an email from myself (john@mistpedia.net) either tonight or tomorrow morning asking teams to acknowledge their participation. Teams will have until Thursday Night 9PM EDT to respond. If no response is given teams will be added from the reserve list (this will be post on Mistpedia in a few hours.)
Edit: Reasoning for selecting these teams will be posted on either Tuesday or Wednesday.
(edited by BLUna.7928)
Regular signups are now closed, I will be posting the teams participating tomorrow morning.
Wow. Can’t believe no one says decap engi yet?
decap engi sucks in high level teamplay. Its only good for soloq
vVv played a “Decap Engi” in their comp and it kind of worked. Extremely cheesy though. Their whole comp revolved around being annoyingly tanky and just never loosing points.
Quick question: On the signups it said that a 6th player was optional. Do you need a sub/6th to be considered a full team?
Nope, as long as you’re a full 5 thats good enough.
