LaTormenta Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 There's not a cat's chance in hell of me entering this, as I would get my ass handed to me(!), but I'd be keen to watch any live streams if it ends up being on Twitch.

There will be a Duke of 94 "consolation" bracket for those that don't move on from the round robin in case you change your mind. Its $20 CAD. which is probably like Two pounds.

For some reason, I have not been receiving email notifications (but that is an issue with my secondary account rather than this place). I might have missed this somewhere, as I have been all over the place recently, but will this be available for online viewing? I wouldn't mind throwing a few bucks the way of the tournament in any case if it helps towards the running of it, especially given how much I get out of the site for free. Next year, I plan to play a lot of online games, as by that point I will have (hopefully) mastered the art of manual goaltending and will (hopefully) not embarrass myself in round one by getting beaten by 30! And yeah, it's about the price of a couple of pints in Manchester at the moment, so I cannot complain. Although, post-Brexit, I will probably have to resort to foraging in the woods for food and drink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in a few years if you play consistently. Much as I'd like to play, I tore my rotator cuff and it's really painful to do anything with my right hand.

Okay, "mastered" might be the wrong word, rather "try not to be a complete pixelated sieve"! And the injury sounds grim. Hope you manage to get some R&R soon.

So I wouldn't worry about not being practiced up or losing in the first round. Only a few guys have a shot at winning the event, but we still get a few dozen players on each system, because it's fun either way. As for the money, we don't actually keep it, it goes to prizes(trophies this year, which we'll need to ship) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the offer bud but I’ll pass. Tournaments I help organize, break even or incur a net loss from a budget perspective. And I’m happy to cover those “losses” from my own pocket because this a hobby for me. Organizing, playing and commentating is a ton of fun for this event. looking forward to having you online bud!

LaTormenta Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Apologies if there is another thread for this but I just wanted to say a huge thanks to @halifax, @kingraph, @smozoma and @danTML7 for all of your hard work during the two weekends of the Ko94 V tournament. I suspect that I have probably missed some people here (whether visible or working behind the scenes) but you were the ones that, well, entertained me (and annoyed the hell out of my better half as I hogged the TV...) whilst watching a load of people I have never met play an almost 30 year old game on Twitch. What a time to be alive! I get the sense that the whole thing was a logistical nightmare for obvious reasons, so fair play for managing to get everything running (almost entirely) smoothly. Next year, I will throw my hat into the ring, even if it ends up being more of a cameo than anything else. Mercifully, I will get summarily binned during the round robin, so will not have to suffer the indignity of the commentators laughing their asses off at me!!! (Not that you would do such a thing...) Thanks again! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
