Uncle Milty stream doesn't allow embedding so I can't put it here.

I may be called in to work today but I'll attempt to fix fixed the IST grenade bug (are there other urgent issues left?) and I'll upload an attrib-only β4 patch (3-4 MB).

i know lag at least was saying he considers the game unplayable with the portrait switching script. you may want to remove that specifically for the tournament.

The third edition of Monthly Rumble Tournament (August 2013) is over and the Toilailee's hegemony has been stopped by Wurgle, who not only eliminated him in the semi-finals, but also went on to win the entire tournament, taking out Dark Riku in the final round! Great job, great games and a well deserved rewards set goes to him! But Riku and Toilailee, who took the 3rd place are going to receive their prizes for 2nd and 3rd place respectively aswell!

Big thanks to all of You guys playing in the tournament and watching the streams aswell, for providing us with a great experience and fun!

Also, big props and thanks to all the casters:

- Codex http://www.twitch.tv/codex_hel

- Uncle Milty http://www.twitch.tv/uncle_milty

- PhatE http://www.twitch.tv/phatness_

for providing us with excelent coverage! I hope all of You guys can keep up Your great work and keep the tournament alive!

As soon as I wake up, I'll be announcing the september edition of the tournament and in the near future there might be some additional content coming along, so stay tuned :P!

Cheers!

A little assistance in viewing the replays? They're ALL beta 4 correct? A lot of the files aren't even the same. I know you have to put them in to the replay folder for the game but I'm not sure where that directory might be. Also, a lot of the games have different extensions. Some are rars, 7Z, and rec. Does that matter?

The replay folder is at Documents > My Games > Dawn of War II Retribution > Playback.

As for the file extensions, .rar files are packed files, to make them wieght less mb (binary doesn't accept files that are larger then 500 kb I think). U need winrar to unpack them. Inside those packages you'll have .rec files, which are the replay files.

.7z deals with rar, is free, and can pack .7z files which are the smallest i know of. fair number of options out there though.

Is there any chance the next tournament could be 2v2?

I think 2v2 would be more popular. Yes 1v1 is the real way to play the game but it would be nice to experiment with tourney number 5 :mrgreen:

Waiting for a confirmation that there won't be another 2v2 tournament in october. If so, the october's monthly rumble will be a 2v2 tournament indeed!

I have a suggestion.

Instead of loser having to pick a map and then choose his hero first, I'd rather loser could choose whether he wants map pick or second hero pick.


It's the counterpick rule used back when most of you weren't even born. :]

On a slightly related note...
I have:

New Vegas Ultimate
Amnesia 1
Alan Wake bundle
Terraria
EVE Online starter

and I'd like to donate stuff to tournament prizes pool. How d owe go about it?

P.S. I also have Dark Souls: P2DE, but it's limited to CIS countries. Perhaps, someone could opt for it if one is from this region.

Remove Judgment of carrion from both pools :/ It's literally a corridor, too good for eldar/ig.

Your map pool is very meh.

At least for this one can you make the compulsory maps (ie the ones that must be played in the first game of the round) the sensible ones. Since there are 4 rounds, preferably:

Ro16: Calderis/Valderus Refinery
QF: Golgotha Depths
SF: Medean Cliff Mines
F: Desert Showdown

Or mix the order idc just don't make me play first selenon JoC, Hydris chasm or god forbid argus 2v2 :)

Argus 2v2 is alright, but selenon, JOC and chasm are just blatantly imba. Selenon isn't even based on the MU that makes it imba, it's just a broken map, it cannot be on the map pool. Agreed on the four you mentioned of course.

are there any 3v3 maps that could be played 2v2 without having skewed balance? right now 2v2 maps are what we lack most.
