VERSUS MODE (DOUBLE ELIM TOURNAMENT)
The Versus Event is a double-elimination, playoff-styleevent, with Winner’s and Loser’s brackets.The match deadline days will be the normal CEVO rotation of Monday/Thursday,with the exception of the holidays. Specific dates for each round, along with the map being played, can be found on your group’s brackets, here: http://www.cevo.com/index.php?page=forum&func=viewthread&id=9401. The winner of the Loser’s Bracket must defeat the winner of the Winner’s bracket *twice* in order to win the event.

Because the Versus event is playoff-style, roster additions can ONLY be made with the permission of the next opposing team, in the matchcomm thread.

Matches must be played on servers running the CEVO Mod,available here: http://www.cevo.com/index.php?page=downloads&func=l4d. Servers running other configs will have the match subject to forfeit.

When entering the score for Versus matches, put both team scores under “H1″. If OT was required, put the OT score under “OT”.

Team Captains must take screenshots at the end of each round, AND a screenshot of the result of the console command “sm plugins”. All team members must record demos of the match.

ILLEGAL ACTIONS IN VERSUS:
•No spitting on elevators AFTER they’ve started moving (i.e.,clipping spit pool).
•No skipping portions of the map or events/crescendos (i.e., no jumping down floors on Dead Center 1, no hopping up to the off button on Parish2).
•Blocking the path of the survivors with a car or a tree or any other movable object which prevents them from advancing is illegal.
•Being in a position that is not reachable by regular/special zombies, or infected, as a survivor is illegal.
•Bunny hopping with the hunter to increase damage pounces is illegal.
•As a survivor, remaining in a position that causes an event to pause, glitch, or otherwise act outside of normal parameters is not allowed.

SCAVENGE MODE (OPEN GROUP PLAY/PLAYOFFS)
The Scavenge Mode event consists of two parts: an open group play event, with 8 groups of 9 teams, of which the two top teams in each group(as determined by W/L record) will advance to a 16-team double-elimination tournament. As with Versus, the winners of the Loser’s Bracket will need to defeat the winner of the Winner’s Bracket twice to win the event.

There is NO set schedule for the Scavenge event, with the sole deadline for all matches being January 11, 2010. That means teams may schedule any match with any team in any order they please. For Open Group Play, the Match will be defined as Best-of-3 rounds. Use the in-game L4D2 tie break mechanism(time) to determine the winner in the case of a 16/16 round.

The roster unlock period for Scavenge will be from December 23 to December 30, with no exceptions (including matchcomm postings). Once Scavenge enters the Playoff phase,additions may be made with opposing team consent in the matchcomm thread.

ILLEGAL ACTIONS IN SCAVENGE

•No standing on the generator when pouring in gas cans.
•If a can lands out of bounds – by boomer blast, or other reason- if the can cannot be shot by the survivors easily, the half of that round isto be restarted.

Matches must be played on servers running the CEVO Mod,available here: http://www.cevo.com/index.php?page=downloads&func=l4d. Servers running other configs willhave the match subject to forfeit.
Should a team member drop, the team has the ability to pause the game for 90 seconds. After 90 seconds, it is at the opposing team’s discretion to unpause the match. This command can be given twice per match.
As with Versus, Team Captains must take screenshots at the end of each round, AND a screenshot of the result of the console command “sm plugins”.

All team members must record demos of the match.

For score entry, enter the score of the match (either 2-0, or 2-1) in the H1 box, leaving H2 and OT empty.

For both events, both teams must have all players readied up in the CMN3 client and remain so for the duration of the match. It is your team’s responsibility to verify Steam IDs *prior* to the start of the match.Teams are not forced to play against teams with players without SteamIDs entered. Spectators are *not*allowed at any time in-game, with the exception of CEVO-approved game casters.

ESL TOURNAMENTS

We are still accepting and reviewing submissions for the big Battlefield 3 Community survey and the summary will take some time, but we already have enough votes to make some changes for the Go4BF3 series. Some of these changes will be in effect immediately, including for this week’s cup on Sunday.

To make things short, the changes are:

Gamemode: 8on8 Conquest (yay!)
Item Restrictions: No IRNV (player), No Tactical Light

@Gamemode: 8on8 for a one-day-cup is a huge challenge for all of us, for the clans and for the admins. But the overall opinion is clear, the overwhelming majority of us want to play 8on8 Conquest. We want to do it as fast as possible, so we’re reducing the first period of Go4 cups.
This Sunday will be the last open Go4 cup with 4on4 Squad Rush, next week will be the finals, with a reduced price money of 200 EUR.

To celebrate the 8on8 Conquest mode, we will put the remaining 300 EUR into three additional Go4BF3 8on8 Conquest ‘Warm-up’ Cups, 100 EUR each on Monday 28th, Tuesday 29th and Wednesday 30th. Stay tuned for further information and links to the cups.

@Restrictions: We want to play Battlefield 3, not a rip-off of another game. Most of you see it in the same way, but most of you also see the need to ban a limited number of items, at least until they are patched by DICE. IRNV (player) and Tactical Light are definitely banned by your vote. Mortar and laser is unclear, so they are allowed, unless both teams agree on not using them.

We hope you like these changes, it’s not possible to make everybody happy,..
..but we try.

LEFT 4 DEAD 2

admin — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 14:35:02 +0000

Set in the zombie apocalypse, Left 4 Dead™ 2 (L4D2) is the highly anticipated sequel to the award-winning Left 4 Dead, the #1 co-op game of 2008.

This co-operative action horror FPS takes you and your friends through the cities, swamps and cemeteries of the Deep South, from Savannah to New Orleans across five expansive campaigns.
You’ll play as one of four new survivors armed with a wide and devastating array of classic and upgraded weapons. In addition to firearms, you’ll also get a chance to take out some aggression on infected with a variety of carnage-creating melee weapons, from chainsaws to axes and even the deadly frying pan.

You’ll be putting these weapons to the test against (or playing as in Versus) three horrific and formidable new Special Infected. You’ll also encounter five new “uncommon” common infected, including the terrifying Mudmen.
