I CAN NOT WAIT <3

Can freshy's mum make some more cookies for the tourney?

[Softly]

I wish I could play.

[Voodoo]

I wish I could play.

What's the problem?

[Master_Vallex]

so i got that right: first its teams fighting each other in 2 pools/groups. 2 best teams of each group will head into final tree to fight again. all 'fights' are a BO3 with a 2v2 game (team vs team) after that the loser team decides who of them will face who of the winner team in a 1v1 match, in case one team won the 2v2 and the other team the 1v1 or gets a draw, it will be a new 1v1 between the 1 player of each team who have not played a 1v1 yet. and it is possible to end any game with a draw without rematch. so even the BO3 can be draw, and will count as such in the pool-stats.
final will be 'knockout' between the teams with the same BO3 system in each match.
so we will have 2 winning players in the end.
puh that was some brainwork to get that xD
you couldn´t possibly have made it ANY more complicated, but its a nice brainstorm, gj
brainfart out.

[Lu_Xun_17]

You get a A+ mark !

You understood perfectly the trophy system!

I wish I could play.

What's the problem?

Can't play FA, on a uni network so no port forwarding which means only irc chat and no updates=no games.

Can't join or host

see if you can find someone that will let you use their connection as a VPN (or someone that has some spare). You should be able to play through that, as long as your uni connection allows you to use VPNs (which I doubt).

I've done setups like that before, pretty confident I can do it again. Standard PPTP might be blocked, but using OpenVPN instead should solve the problem.

I could offer my *services*, cannot promise that the bandwidth will be any good, but since DilliDalli is in the UK pings should be okay.
Also my ISP has recently done some "upgrades" and turned of their network unexpectedly, but it's worth a try!

[Softly]

I don't really want to do anything stupid and have the system kick me off the network so I have to crawl back and ask for access again

Its probably a good thing I can't play atm it means I might actually get some studying in around the pub nights
