    So RoyalMarine and I were chatting around a bit and we were wondering if people would be interested in doing a sort of King of the Hill thing tomorrow?


    EDIT: I think I can host a vent server for the duration...

    Current signups:

    NeoSlicerZ
    RoyalMarineComm
    BlitzKrieg
    M-Rod
    TheDoc
    Xios
    Pixelburp
    Kharn
    DeVore
    Dustaz

    Vent server : ireland.ventriloservers.biz Port : 3830

    +1 on this :p

    if it does get popular, i have a server running, and i can setup a vent / team speak lobby so we can all chat away while we get steamrolled :p

    though work might get in the way. we'll see.

    if it's 1v1, i'll likely be available for a few games


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,137 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    I'll be about

    Have a ventrilo server already up and running should be able to cater for the numbers, but would be well interested.

    Will log on irc when I get home to check in on the status, but yeah, sounds promising ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,073 ✭✭✭Xios


    Count me in, just cause i'm interested in how the king of the hill thing works :)

    The format is going to be very basic. 2 people play, winner stays on. Challenger chooses map I think.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    I'd happily submit myself as the Bronze whipping-boy, assuming there'd be no minimum skill level :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,327 ✭✭✭NeoSlicerZ


    Provisionally, say around 7pm we'll kick it off. There'll be probably a disparity in skill levels but we can chat a bit about what could be improved after the game I suppose.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,824 ✭✭✭RoyalMarine


    ill be around i hope, but its beer/poker/pizza night with the boys, so dont count me in just yet.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Should be there!

    Yeah, can't make this, won't be back till after 9. Have a driving test tomorrow so i'm doing a pretest this evening. if you're still playing then i don't mind challenging the leader (king) when i get back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Dustaz


    I wont be home untill late this evening. Id love to get some games in though.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I think we will still be going at 9 hahha... I wont be along until about 8 anyway!

    We will have to do something else like 2v2s to amuse ourselves too or it will get very boring just idling waiting for your shot at being crushed by NeoSlicerz or RM :p

    The spectator aspect is also Tres fun I feel, I fully intend to watch the games I'm not participating in ;)

    From the looks of peoples time frames might be best to let this kick of later, although be it king of the hill it looks like it wont really matter when people come along.

    Wouldnt mind watching the Arsenal game in fairness ;)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 36,711 CMod ✭✭✭✭pixelburp


    7's possibly stretching it allright, I'm already home from work so I'm ok - bar the need for food. Perhaps put it back to a little later this evening?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,327 ✭✭✭NeoSlicerZ


    Ok, I'd picked 7 because the previous 2v2 cup was on at that time, putting it back till 8 wouldn't do any harm. Just hop onto irc and we can get going when there's interest pretty much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 216 ✭✭The_Keeper


    I won't be around until 9, so will hop onto irc then.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    I'm around now, just finished playing a 2 vs AI with Kinetic^ - turns out there are players worse than me :p

    I'd be very interested in skilling up. I have the start more or less sorted, but not sure about my middle :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    sorry was delayed be on in two secs


    edit: reads thread



    oooooooooooooooh!!!


    any word on ventrillo server?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,327 ✭✭✭NeoSlicerZ

    First game getting set up

    Game 1#

    Furyio(T) VS. Blitzkrieg(Z) ICCup River Point


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,137 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    Blitz wins


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,137 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    Blitz wins

    I'm going to make a pack of the games as replays for people to have a nosey at later, Twitter updates rolling on my link below also ;)

    Game 1 was pretty quick.

    Blitz went for alot of Zerglings with speed upgrade. Poor map knowledge and a bad wall off cost me the game : /


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,137 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    Game 2
    Dekrieg - Zerg v Pixelburp - Zerg

    Entertaining game, confusing to watch but good fun game.

    Pixel comes out with the victory and is the new King

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,137 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    Entertaining games so far, even if you dont want to play worth a watch, really entertaining stuff

    Game 5 on now, Neoslicerz just took the crown, hes going up against a solid protoss player in Rakshasa


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,462 ✭✭✭cardio,shoot me


    hey, is it possible to watch the games live?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,137 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    I do have a streaming account I just dont have the software setup for it i dont think


    ***

    Stream should be available for next game hopefully

    Feedback on the stream a welcome, enabled back sound to hear the panic on vent

    Ugh, I played so bad. Maybe next time just record VODs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Dustaz


    I arrived home just as everyone stopped playing :(

    Beat kharn in 2v2 though.... The wookie didnt win this time! :)


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    I r a bad bad zerg player who doesnt know how to mid-game against Terran ... :)


    Actually there was relatively sound reasoning behind 6-pooling but when you scouted it I thought I was in trouble...

  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,135 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    Will be up for the next one if there is. Been busy the last few weeks and SC took a backseat for a while, but I'm back now :pac:
