Iplay Tournament on monday -Who was there

[popsk_]

Just curious if anyone from the lolnet community went to the recent Iplay LoL tournament on monday 22nd

To be honest I didn’t even know it was on. I find that those kind of things don’t get much exposure here. Even google search doesn’t return much with regards to LoL in NZ.

well, even the guy at iplay setting it up was only expecting 8 teams, that being 40 people. 140 people showed up thats 28 teams it was fucking awesome. met alot of new people and it was awesome practice and we now have 3 teams that we are going to scrim against to practice for the next tournaments

also facebook like the page 'barcraft NZ' or something along those lines they are pretty up to date with the tournaments going around, also Cptwin and the lolnet page was the one that actually let me and my team know this was happening so it my pay to like them as well, apart for that i know what you mean about google not finding much

I was there as well, I spotted your name in your first game but couldn't figure out which computer you were sitting at before the game started.
How did your team do in the end?

 

[popsk_]

i was on the second computer in on the group D side, did you compete?

we lost our first game to some Filipino team who we ended up becoming friends with and we are going to be scrimming for practice, we lost mainly because when ever we team fighted everyone of our computers froze due to FPS lag, which was a pain but they were also good players (especially there eve mid)
im the only guy on the team with glasses if that helps you spot me i also have two earing in one ear one that dangles with a non christian cross and brown short hair

Ok thanks for that. Haven’t been on FB in like over a month, I now have a reason to get on there though. Will check out the barcraft thing and Cptwin’s page as well

Sounds like it was a really worthwhile event. Might have to check out the next one.

Going to try head on tonight btw. Might see you guys online. Otherwise Wednesday or Thursday night.

cptwins page is just the lolnet page, and yeah man it was really cool, im hearing things about another tournament being held next month but i have no details on that ill post info on it on here if i find out more

if you havent already , add stiggyla

 

[Cwanand]

I'll add you on LoL tonight.
I competed but my team got knocked out in the first game, our Support Soraka fed like a boss to Taric, Corki bot and our jungle was pretty trash. He was a random we picked up on the day cause we were one down. Couldn't find someone in time to fit the gap left by cptwin >_>
We were going to play our Loser Bracket game but after waiting for 2-3 hours for it, we gave up and went home.

 

[McDaddy]

Oh right, my bad. Yup, will add you up next time I go online.

OHHH that was you guys? i think i remember watching you guys, who did you play as?

yeah we waited for 5 hours for our second game which ended up being a complete stomp something along the lines of 40+ to 5 at like 26 minutes (dont quote me on that very rough estimate) after the stomp we just went up to the counter and said we are going and went out and told the guys we just stomped to tell them they won :L good deed for the day

 

[Cwanand]

haha yeah, we got stomped pretty bad. I was playing as MF trying to pick up kills off corki and Taric as soraka died but couldn't quite get enough damage out there.

Yeah that long ass wait just killed the buzz for it really. If they had played loser bracket games while the rest of the games went (with a pause for the finals so everyone could watch... and not on the rubbish laggy stream -_-) then it would have been all good I reckon.

 

[popsk_]

eh the wait times were only long because the guys organizing it didn't expect 140 people to show up :lol: we didn't mind waiting around for awhile just scouted the other teams and such

 

[Cwanand]

Yeah I talked to a couple of the guys there about it, 21 teams instead of 8 makes a huge difference.
But ah well, maybe next tourny will go better for myself haha.

 

[popsk_]

Yeah, im still trying to get more info on the next tournament coming up on November.
It helped that we had another two teams there that were our friends to watch. defiently looking forward to going to another one, hope to see you guys there

 

[Cwanand]

If it's another freebie then you might see me there competing. Otherwise I might show up and watch a bit. I don't really have a competetive team to be a part of atm haha.
But now that I know there is another one coming up, I'm gonna see what info I can get from them as well and see if anyone is keen to sort a team out.

 

[popsk_]

even if its not a freebie i think it would only be like 10$ or something, but the easiest way to start a team is just with mates that play, that want to get good or at least try even if you have more then 5 people thats the best way to get a team going

 

[Cwanand]

Yeah, it's just finding those 5 friends that want to get good. So far I have, maybe 2 and I want to drag my brother into it but he doesn't have a comp so makes it a bit difficult to play with him >_<
