sup brahs. every tuesday i'll be hosting 1v1 tournaments with prize pools.
format:
-each tournament will have a hero pool of 5-7 heroes. the pool will rotate every week.
-out of the hero pool, players will blind pick 2 heroes. if one hero is picked by both players, that hero is banned and their other hero chosen will be played.
for example, if player 1 chooses clockwork/kunkka and player 2 chooses tiny/kunkka, the match will be clockwork vs tiny.
if both players pick the same 2 heroes, then http://random.org will decide who plays which hero.
if both players pick two seperate heroes from each other, they will be informed of each others' two picks and then proceed to pick their own.
-single elimination. each round is 1 match. finals is best of 3.
-the first player to lose their 2nd tower or suffer a death loses the match.
-no bottle refill with chicken/crow.
-no runes
-no jungle farming (controlling creeps via dominator etc ok)
-matches will be streamed on twitch @ http://twitch.tv/tigerwoodsputt
tournament begins at 6PM PST on tuesdays. please show up at channel TWPdota in the Dota 2 Client under the name you signed up under.
default server is USeast unless players agree on something else.

Interesting.
Hopefully we can get some nice players in this and get some cool VODs.
I always wanted to try out something like this but I work on tuesday nights!
Thanks for the organization and potential support/prize moneys dota 2 needs people like you. |

| Imo you should make it first tower or maybe first 2 towers, not throne. Otherwise certain MUs are gonna be horrible |

updated rules to second tower.
if tuesday night isn't good, i can change it...but i can only do mondays or thursdays.
also...i'd need a minimum of 8 players to sign up for it to actually take place. if people aren't on time (15 min max late) then they'll forfeit their match.Last edit: 2012-08-01 12:24:02 |

| Shadow strike is op for just 1v1 purposes. I think she's by far the favorite in that hero pool. |

| qop will be picked 100% of the time. as soon as she hits 6 she can instantly kill everyone on that list. puck has a chance to dodge it, lol. |

| you can argue that lina can instantly kill anyone on the list at 6 also. and qop cannot be picked 100% of the since the rules allow the possibility of her being banned. i think its a fair list |

The difference is that qop can dominate before 6. She is just one of the strongest laners, and will dominate that pool. She also is more powerful in this format since clarities and salves are more common sue to the fact that you don't need to go for mid/late game items.
Also, the drafting isn't as good as it seems to be for removing an OP hero. For the sake of this argument, say that picking qop = 100% win rate. Every logical player will pick qop and another hero they actually want to play. If the other hero is the same, then the match is a coinflip. And the probability of this happening is >= 1/6 (if all the other heroes are equally powerful, the probability is 1/6, otherwise people will pick the more powerful heroes more often).
For the sake of good matches, the pool should be as equal as possible. A pool with qop should include the other really strong laners, like sylla and invoker. |

| point taken. qop will be used in a different pool. |

| Is 1v1 dota2 the same as it was in original dota, where both heroes get the collective starting gold of the entire team for some odd reason, or are you still sitting on the usual 603. Last edit: 2012-08-01 16:24:34 |

| I think you get 603 gold regardless in Dota 2, unless you random |

unless you... PHASE SHIFT
then its just pick mindgames after that (since puck does horribly with most of the other picks) |

Wouldn't it be more standard if you:
1. Were allowed to die, at least a few times? It's far from impossible to turn around a mid lane if you just die once.
2. Were allowed to cheat so you get enough gold to buy a flying courier immediately?
Seems to me that would make it more balanced since some heroes can get pretty easy kills and some heroes are more dependant on the courier. |

Signed up.
Also, I feel like one death resulting in an instaloss seems like it will produce very defensive players and maybe less interesting games.
I think deaths should be permitted. A second tower being lost seems like the best ending scenario. |

As solo middle you should do your utmost best to not die 1v1 mid so you should always be defensive :S |

Yes. Back in DotA 1, 1v1 matches were usually ended at 3 deaths or 2nd tower. I think only playing to 1 death may lead to very different games since it is much easier to win by picking a strong hero killer and not worrying about pushing power at all. With 3 deaths there is a bit more strategy and more viable picks since you can push or try to kill them.
How long do you anticipate this tourney will last? Are you planning to stream every single game, or just 1 match per round. I'd like to play, but I can't be up too late (Eastern time). |
