2015 eGO Arena Respawn Showdown

[Insomnia Princess]

Will the showdown be streamed?

We will stream as many of the matches as we can (hopefully all of them).

What stream should we expect to see these matches on?

Also, when do you think the prizepool will be announced? I'm pretty curious!

Thanks.

Maybe get SourceTV as well?

What happens if we aren't on a team by the time the tournament starts?

Sign ups close on the 16th and we will put all wildcards onto teams.

David you will want to post on the signup thread

Wow! 35 teams so far and a ton of wildcards. This is going to be a blast.

Has the map list been decided yet? In my experience, 5v5 A:R pick up games have largely been played on custom maps, and I'd like to have a look at the maps before playing them in the cup.

Will living in another time zone cause problems organizing things? (Well, logically yeah, I just want to know if it's a "disqualifying" issue or if you can manage such things.)

Thanks.

So far we've already got some Kindle Fires as well as a couple of top-of-the-line Sennheiser and Plantronics gaming headsets. Keep your eyes to the sky for more, and we'll do our best to get them posted here as soon as we can!

What stream should we expect to see these matches on?

The matches are most likely going to be streamed from our official EdgeGamers Twitch account throughout that weekend! Be sure to follow us ahead of time to keep an eye on your competition.

We're accommodating best we can. Are you in EU time zones?

We will be accounting for Pacific- East coast (US) time zones but those in EU may have more difficulty. It's not disqualifying though.

 

[Ryoga Hibiki]

Yeah, european time zone.

 

[TheWillAffect]

I've got two questions loaded, which prolly have an answer somewhere I didn't read lel.

First one is where these matches going on? Public servers or private ones set up for the matches?

And my other question is do we have to be in the mumble to partake?

I got two pals in my team without mics, we're use to coordinating in-game mics and voice commands.

 

[Heatran485]

How do you define mid day? For eastern NA

 

[Insomnia Princess]

We'll get the OP updated to answer all of your questions and give details on maps shortly. Thank you for your patience.

I don't get why the Vaccinator is the only weapon banned.
Shouldn't the Gunslinger be one too?

Valve themselves MAY award badges to the participants, since they helped advertise it, although I believe the probability is very low.
As for prizes, 2nd and 3rd places haven't been announced yet, but 1st place gets 2 headsets and 3 Kindle Fires, so I'd think all prizes are real life items and not in game.

A question one of my teammates had. Will custom mods like weapon skins be disabled? And also what will be the maps used?
