Frozen Synapse Tournament - Ongoing, incl. Video Footage!

True, but I'm fairly confident in my abilities.

You can put some of that confidence into training with other confident gaffers until in 2 weeks. ;)
 
I remember playing in the second tournament, haven't touched the game since however, and between Street Fighter V and the new ToME dlc coming out soon, I doubt I'll have time to.

Oh, who cares, sign me up as well to get destroyed early on.
 
The second tournament thread is the entire reason I bought this game. I think I played it nonstop for two weeks. I'm in.
 
I'd love to be a part of this tournament! But I don't really know if I have the time... We have a week to get the first match done, right?

I'll do it. Let's gooo.

Edit: Apparently I don't know my username so pretend I didn't put it here.

Edit 2: I just realized I own Frozen Synapse Prime, not normal Frozen Synapse. So if you could take me out of the tournament that'd be nice. Sorry :(
 
Toma!

Long time my friend. I remember back in winter 2012 when I was ranked number 1 on the US servers and I posted on GAF looking for some new players. You and I played a few and as I recall I got my butt handed to me. Ha!

I'm absolutely in for a tournament. Will have to brush up as it has been a while indeed. Great idea.

edit: In game name is Najaf
 
Is it too late to sign up? I need to play more of this game, but if its not too late count me in!

More than enough time still ;)

Also I just noticed that Large Professor and me already had 2 matches vs each other :p
The community is so goddamn small that it wouldnt surprise me if I played half of you guys already.

Edit: Oh and we'll need the FS ingame name of every participant until the registration date, so please throw your ingame name in here at one point.

Haha, first match against Large Professor and I feel like I forgot everything :D
Off to a great start.

Feel free to throw a challenge my way (Tomalexi) for training purposes, steam informs us via notifications. ;)

And again, everyone please post your FS username as soon as you know it.
 
I am totally in again!

FS: Yagya

I am also down for practice rounds. Haven't touched this in at least a year. Was playing on my Nook with my friend Advance Wars style while camping.
 
Lost the first training match against the Professor, who is a sightseeing wizard. :P
Nice match, really lovely to play this again.
 
What is the game mode going to be? Dark Extermination?

Need to practice up. I mainly played Charge so I'll need to brush up on my skills.

I'm xVladx on FS, and you've been challenged.

Of course, that process alone reminded me of how fiddly FS's UI could be at times. Had to dig through several layers of menus in order to challenge an offline player, which was kind of annoying.
 
Sounds fun to me! FS name is SuperMuffin (no space).

What are the rules going to be?
Dark extermination most likely. Trying to figure out if we can reliably do corner starts.

True, took me a while at first as well, but its rather easy once you know how.
 
Tentatively signing up Toma lol - FS name - titch71

Getting some AI practise in plus anyone looking for a game hit me up for an easy win!!!
 
My name in FS is Accent with only 2 c's, it was before I unified it with 3 everywhere haha ^_^

(I don't miss thinking I'm being mentioned in tons of random threads here when people are just discussing the origins of various characters)
 
Sorry to the ones who sent me invites today, I wasnt at home. Going to make my moves tomorrow.
 
Thanks for the invites, finally was able to make the moves. Try finding some time to train in the next 2 weeks guys. ;)
 
Oh yeah, my FS name is Razakin (either upper or lower case R, can't remember), if people want easy wins, I'm your guy to challenge!
 
FS name is Balthuk, feel free to challenge me, new to the game so be kind :D
I also decided to take place in the tourney so add me to that as well.
 
Added all recent entrants. Let me know if I havent added your FS name yet and post it here please. ;)
 
Well, would you look at that.

The Frozen Synapse dev contacted me to mention that they are throwing in a Beta invite for Frozen Synapse 2 (Beta might start in ~2 months). For the last Beta I entered with Mode7, I got to keep the game after the Beta ends, so maybe that is an interesting aspect for some of you :)

Since getting 30$ in price money AND the Beta is a bit much, I might restructure the price pool a bit though, like:

The best 3 players can choose from one of those 3 prices:
  • Frozen Synapse 2 Beta invite
  • $30 in Steam gifts
  • $10 in Steam gifts

What are you guys thinking about that?

And huge thanks to Mode7 for this opportunity :)

Hey Danimal :) We had some members offer me via PM that they can share their extra copies for interested players. Do you want one of those copies? They wont be much use otherwise anyway with FS2 around the corner, so dont feel bad if you want to participate. ;)

Regards,
Toma

Toma sent me this PM today. Apparently some lovely folks would be willing to give me a Frozen Synapse code for this tourney. I would LOVE to receive a code :D
 
eh, why not. I'll add my unused humble keys to the prize pool. Winner will be able to chose a max of 7 games among those, second place will get the next 7, third place the remaining 7.

If you dont mind, I'd like to split that up with my rewards. We should at least have prices for all semi final contestants then and if we find another 2 reward slots might even reward all quarter final contestants. In that case, first place gets to choose between FS2 Beta, 30$, 10$ or 7 games from your list, then 2nd, and so on, until we are done with all reward slots. Currently we would have:

- FS2 Beta
- 30$
- 10$
- 7 games
- 7 games
- 7 games
- ?
- ?

OR

The best 4 get to choose 6 games from your list and the first three get:
- FS2 Beta
- 30$
- 10$

8 prize winners is a bit messy, but I'd prefer to at least give prizes to the best 4 then.

Oh sure thing! To be honest it's just that it's a bit counter-intuitive for me to think of the games as an actual reward (it's not like there was an actual investment on my part!), which is why I distributed them that way. I was thinking of them as an added extra :)

I'll trust you to distribute in however fashion you think is best. Adding 3 sets of 7 games as separate prizes in the prize pool that winners get to pick from is a cool idea :)

Top 8 getting payouts makes a lot of sense if we're doing a bracket.
