[DSL IRL, HW, EU only] That Parsec Thing
« on: July 09, 2018, 11:15:46 AM »
So... I got a new router!
I was planning of hosting this since that parsec rwra2 tournament, the problem was that my network was sh** (with speed of 8mbps) now that i have 10 times the speed i might even host a tournament. Me, MrBK, and Mystic tested parsec and everything was nearly flawless (except ra2 crashing few times). Due to distance/latency issues, this will be EUROPE ONLY with 16 spots
So this tournament would be held on August when i buy myself a better pc. You would receive a Discord link after sending a bot as VC is required (mic is not needed, as notepad communication is not good). Another thing is that this would be streamed on twitch
Rules for tournament:
DSL 2.2 HW IRL
16 entries, 1 entry per person
Cheatbot 2: only motors,l and those are: Overkill motor, Flatmotor and judge burst.
Extenderbots allowed, as network isnt really affecting network
OBJ, RA2CF allowed.
No weapon spam
No burst spam (OW rules)
Arena would be multiple Robogames arenas with Battlebots music
So, anything i missed/forgot?

What does this mean about my other tournaments? Well, if this goes well, ill resurrect, BiA with fresh enteries.

I have yet to see one of these Parsec tournaments go through.
What's the likelihood this one will be no different?
I have several opinions.

Have some bad news: Due to net latency being awful, ill have to limit parsec to Europe only. I know, sad and because of that, there will be only 16 spots. Another this is that this wouldnt be GTM locked tournament, so people from other communities would join.
