CyberGamer, in association with S2 Games is proud to announce the CyberGamer S2Games Heroes of Newerth tournament!



CyberGamer will be working alongside the game?s developers, S2 Games, to bring you the highest quality tournament with a top class administrative team.

CyberGamer S2Games HoN Tournament Rules (http://www.cybergamer.com.au/pc/honcomp/rules)


- Registration:

Registrations are open now, you can register your team here (http://www.cybergamer.com.au/createteam/pc/honcomp/ladder/). Registrations close Tuesday the 16th of February 2010 11:59pm, and matches start on Wednesday the 17th of February 2010. This will be a 32 team double elimination tournament. We may extend this to 64 teams if enough intrest is shown, so make sure you register now to secure your place in this epic tournament.



The prize will be $300 USD, thanks to S2 Games. CyberGamer may also have some additional prizes to distribute on top of this, though this is yet to be confirmed.


This is an Asia-Pacific tournament, teams from anywhere in the world are encouraged to play in this tournament, but CyberGamer must advise that Asia-Pacific teams will have a time zone preference, unless something else can be arranged between the two teams. We advise you do not partake if you are unable to accommodate to different time zones, as this will waste everyones time and lead to disqualification from the tournament. I'm sure this will not cause many problems for those hardcore teams that really want to win this thing.


Organising times via your match page is the best and the most recommended way of organising times as this reduces the chance of problems occurring.



Admins have the right to disqualify any teams that failed to contact their opposing team or that do not meet the rounds deadline. This in turn, results in a forfeit loss.

Teams have approximately five days (no longer) to decide between each other on what time and date they would be willing to play.


Team captains are required to submit there match ID in the appropriate thread: CyberGamer S2Games HoN Replay Archive (http://www.cybergamer.com.au/forums/thread/49795/CyberGamer-S2Games-HoN-Tournament-Replay-Archive/) with the following details: 'Game Number - Round - Team 1 Vs. Team 2 - Match ID'.


We wish all teams the best of luck with their games and the tournament.

Already signed up, nice to see an extension to the ladder you guys had open in Autumn.

[tabako]

Is there a default time for matches to be played? When do you think a US team would have to be able to play in order to compete?

[HunteR_]

Good Luck, nice to see the Ausies in the mix.

[Process]

Is there a default time for matches to be played? When do you think a US team would have to be able to play in order to compete?

A US team will probably play mid day

[TDA101]

A us team will actually have to play anywherr from 10pm or onward depending on time. That's if your lucky enough to get the Aussies on at 2PM. Otherwise its 10PM and its early in the morning for you guys.

[TLSHadow]

Most likely games will be played around 1-2am PST (4-5am EST).

[VeNuM]

What is the actual default time zone? I'm from England so i'm in GMT, some of my team mates are from europe so they use CET.. what is the time zone you are using "asia-pacific" doesnt mean much to be because I'm dumb.

I'm struggling to see how a European team could compete in this though even if we really wanted to :(

You're looking at anywhere between GMT+7 and GMT+10

[VeNuM]

Oh, the only way I could see EU teams playing in this is if every match was on Weekend perhaps.. whats the match scheduling like, will it allow for each round to be played on Weekends?

[VeNuM]

You're looking at anywhere between GMT+7 and GMT+10


If this is true then it doesnt sound so bad, I was converting to Queensland timezone from UK which is like +14 or something?

[Sustain]

The 'Registration' link was incorrect and has been removed (will be replaced asap). Some teams such as yours m0ns00n created your team in the Team Directory Page. (http://www.cybergamer.com.au/teams/pc/honcomp/) If your team is in this position, go to this link provided: CyberGamer S2Games HoN Tournament Page (http://www.cybergamer.com.au/pc/honcomp/ladder/) and click on 'Click Here to join the Ladder'. This link is found just above the ladder. To the right of the 'The Ladder time is:'.

Sorry for the inconvenience, I will be moving the teams who haven't already done so.

[Sustain]

Edit: Teams have all been moved.

[BreakyCPK]

Love the website format especially with the current HoN League. I would expect a greatly ran tournament as well.

[_Archangel_]

Won't there be clashes over which server to play on?

[StRiDaH]

probably going to be us west as that is the default server for the ladder

[Sustain]

# 2.7. International teams are entitled to participate in this tournament. Games are to be played by default on the USWest server.
This may change if enough international teams sign up. If it is the case, then I will discuss it with the admin team and chose something more neutral.

[Shadz]

cb0 will be playing.

[TDA101]

This may change if enough international teams sign up. If it is the case, then I will discuss it with the admin team and chose something more neutral.

USW is as neutral is it gets.

Consider that most Aus/NZ players will get over 150ping to around 250 even 300 on any given server.

The best servers for us are SEA/JPN/USW. Other US servers give large delay which would be unfair for us because it'd likely we'd be getting 300ping whilst others would get barely 200 if at all.

I've played with lotsa people who arn't Aus/Nz and complain when they say there ping is 150 :S. Guess when your used to good/bad net you get used to it.

[RefleKt]

should be a good tourney aren't we EST+10?>.<and im not sure how they are doing the tourney but if its worldwide, they might end up giving us a week too play the game and we work out a time good for each team and play off that...

[TLSHadow]

I really hope to see the return of Tobi with this tournament :D

[Sustain]

64 team cap has been reached :D. If any of these 64 teams drop before 11:59pm tonight, another team will replace them; if they have 5 or more members on their roster.

I can't stress this enough:

[TDA101]

This arrangement of time choosing is crap. One random team out of the 2 gets to choose the time? What's this???

[Sustain]

Please disregard the 'DEFENDING' or 'CHALLENGING' when you are setting a date / time for your match. If you are defending please offer dates / times that you are able to make it. So both teams can come to an agreement on when they can play. Once you have agreed upon a time, an admin will set up the match for you.

If you can't make the dates / times that a team offers you then discuss it in the 'Private Chat between BOTH Teams' box and come to an agreement:

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/2990/privatechat.jpg

[samwut]

Does an admin have to setup the match, or can we just play when we agree on a time and submit the replay?

[Sustain]

You have to post in the 'Private Chat Between BOTH Teams' box so admins can set up the match for you. So it removes the reason that it was not an 'official match' and in turn, cause disputes. After you have done that, you can then play the match on the date / time chosen by both teams and then submit the replay in the appropriate thread.

[BreakyCPK]

HONCAST has begun its coverage of this tournament, enjoy

Btw its 'CyberGamer' not 'CyberGames' haha. Sorry to not have told you earlier :). Btw do you have access to the CG website to be able to select games you would like to cast? So it will appear on the homepage and on the tournament page. PM me here or on CG and I can set up your casters with access. I really appreciate that you are casting the tournament, thank you.

[BreakyCPK]

OMG I am so sorry, I didn't even realise all this time. My bad, I will be sure to refer to it as cybergamer from now on!

But we don't cast the games live because of lack of effective delay... unless you guys wouldn't mind and if it's ok with the teams, then we could. So I guess if that is the case then we could look to post when we plan to shoutcast.

[TheBlueTiger]

Nice to see the Aussie boys shoutcasting the HoN scene, particularly, Tobiwan, who does an awesome job with DotA.

Wow, we got bombed in the comments. Everybody except Vindicator.

[TDA101]

May the best Aussie win.

[Shadz]

May the best Aussie win.

I'm not a chance, although I am the best Aussie =)

[HaroldBishop]

I hope an Aussie team wins, but with the likes of x6 etc.
We will have to see what happens

Congratulations to Nautilus Gym Equipment. The match ID is 29628764.

[TDA101]

That looks like a complete stomp.

[Reonhato]

That looks like a complete stomp.

its not as bad as it looks, if you watch the replay you would see we tried a push strat, we did alright until pebbles got port key, but once we got about 15-20 minutes in we just had lost out on to much xp and couldnt compete....

btw i got bloodlust

when you have <10% chance to win we thought better off trying something different then to try and play a normal game we had no hope in.

[Pyrate]

we should have called them on the forfeit

[Reonhato]

did i mention i got bloodlust?

[TDA101]

That bloodlust doesn't really count. I could easily discuss with you how you could improve :P.

[thewishkah]

e: yeah......

[HerBz]

I hope an Aussie team wins, but with the likes of x6 etc.

Best of luck Harold - You guys have a good shot I think!

We got two new recruits, they're pretty scrub but we'll see how they go.

[Milkfat]

we just beat them. I went 17-4-20 against with 500 gpm against them. :(

[Fishyy_]

heard its hard to play zephyr, good thing we don't practice or do any research on our teams or we might ban correctly roflllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll. btw you to scared to solo mid in this game still? when are you going to 1v1 me milkfat or you gonna keep dodging

[Milkfat]

you've never asked me to 1v1 but I would love to. We obviously proved my team is leagues above yours if you want to be embarassed as an individual I can do that as well.

can i spec this match?

[Fishyy_]

so scared to 1v1 on lan for your tournament spot :poll::poll::poll::poll::poll::poll:

[Milkfat]

it wasnt against you it was against some kid who was a waste of my time. I get asked to 1v1 hundreds of times a day why would I waste my time on 1600 psr players when I could practice with my team?

[Fishyy_]

so playing a 15 minute concede is a waste of time compared to a 30 minute waste of time? your logic makes sense, good thing 4/5 of those ppl don't play hon and wanted to eat or your time wouldve been wasted!!!!!!!!

[TLSHadow]

Who cares about a no prize LAN and who beat who in 1v1. This is a video game for ****s sake, have fun and stop being butthurt SIGH..

[HunteR_]

cool the drama u two

OK, so this is obviously done?

its' been since February.

[ko]

I don't think so..

[TLSHadow]

Yea the loser bracket is finishing up. It was a huge tournament.

[Shadz]

Its still going...Loaded are in the final, losing bracket still going.

[ko]

move this out of the archive then...

[Shadz]

Exactly. It's still running.

Moved it back after. Apologies for someone miss-archiving it.

what game is this...?

[VeNuM]

This is actually super confusing.

Check tournament page out and its like a ladder with having nothing scheduled for the past few weeks and Loaded sat on top - I can only assume the final was POL vs Loaded? and Loaded came out on top.

Going to Archieve it again, if someone has REAL proof that this is still ongoing (which it appeasr to not me then show it to me) and I'll move it back.
