Damn, I think you're right, actually. I forgot that it isn't a twitch function, but a streaming program function.

Despite that, I'm not willing to sacrifice the streamed aspect of the tournament. I assume most people involved in the tournament won't cheat, and even if they do, I don't think it will offer a big enough advantage because there is still a 15+ second delay.

Agreed. I feel like if you're watching a screen then you are not focused enough on the game. Plus I already have plans to edit my team's video if we win some rounds :)

Can you set a twitch account to private so people can't view it unless they are followers? Then just publish the archive later?

You going to get everyone to record their viewpoints and send them to you? That would be cool

Ok so I'm having problems with one of my teammates so if there are any free agents still looking for a team, Shivver Me Timbers is hiring.

Interesting points. I don't believe that the perk you are referring to is that much of a benefit. When I've used it, I found that it was actually quite limited in that it won't allow you to respawn on teammates if there are enemies about. I find it to be a waste of the large amount of loadout points it requires.

As for Interrogation being in the tournament, I feel that it is a good game type. Since this is a tournament and everyone is playing to win, I think it will be interesting to see, because in matchmaking it is often one team farming for points, which won't be happening in this tourney. It is a game mode that requires a lot of teamplay, so i think it works well for this situation.

As for your qualms about it being a bad tie breaker, I think that it will be fine. If for some reason it does end in a tie, than we will start the rotation over again with Supply Raid.

I am however, interested in hearing more opinions from those who have entered.

Fair enough. It just has been my experience that Interrogation ends in a tie much more frequently. On the PS3 version where my friends and I had everything unlocked the spawn on teammate was a huge plus. One of us can sneak into the back of their spawn and have others respawn on them.

That said I am cool if everyone else is. I am intrigued/excited to see how this plays out.

Well I appreciate the feedback! I just see it as another possible strategy to watch out for, rather than an overpowered one.

Hell yeah. Welcome, amigo

Thanks, we are stoked for the tourney!

By the way, sorry to the free agents that pm'd me after the team had formed. But I had over ten responses within a day so if you guys are willing to get together you should be able to form a team before the deadline hits. Just PM each other off the free agent list!

What about just grouping the free agents together into teams if they can't get organized themselves? Deadline hits, boom, every FA is in a team made of the names above/below them on the list?

Update:

I've sent PM's to all the team "leaders" (whoever registered the team in this thread) in regards to times available. Get back to me as soon as you can, with Thursday night being the deadline for entry. If for some reason your team didn't get a message, let me know.

The final schedule for the weekend will be posted the second everyone has responded.

Thanks!

I'm willing to do that, but there are a lot of hiccups with that involving lining up availability and commitment.

True. At first I was thinking if your team of assigned FA's doesn't show up or whatever its your fault for not being more proactive in finding a team. But now that I think about it, it would suck to have some teams get an easy first round simply because they either didn't play anyone or the team only had half their players or something.

Yeah, I'd rather have a team of committed, team players, rather than a randomly assigned team.

PMed you to hopefully maybe get a team together (if you'll have me and we're close to same time zone).

If that falls through, I'll throw myself in the ever increasing free agent pool.

PSN: forensick
central time zone
Friday: after ~7pm Sat/Sun: all day (please not the morning)

So join the team then, or do you all already have a team and you need another member? Whatever the case, let me know. I'm down for whatever.
