    So, the recent 1v1 tournament turned out to be pretty popular. If it is developed more, it could turn into an excellent regular GM event. Let's discuss how we can get the best implementation possible for this event.

    The ideas floating about now are:
    • Monthly event - first Saturday of each month perhaps
    • Icon on forums as prize, collective prize pool for more prizes - skins/RP?
    • Streamed on an official GM Twitch channel, 720p+ quality
    • Roster of unbiased shoutcasters - could be rotated between matches? How do we decide who can shoutcast?
    • Amateur tournaments now and again to give lower skilled players a chance
    • What format - single elimination, BO3/BO5/Round Robin etc
    Everyone suggest your ideas, let's get this ball rolling!

    I'd offer myself as a stream source/recording/shoutcasting.

    So, IMO, this is how I'd run it.

    Group stages first, split into skill levels. I'm tempted to say Bronze/Silver/Gold/Plat/Dia, but there are loads of problems with that.
    Anyway, top two or so from each group go through and play off against others.

    I'd have two shoutcasters with a guest now and again. The 3 minute waits between games can be filled with the victor of the previous game talking about what happened etc.

    Stream it on the GM Twitch channel, give out the stream key to a designated streamer, probably someone who's shoutcasting.

    Shoutcasters shouldn't be players. They need to be available and reliable.

    I can stream/shoutcast if necessary.

    It might discourage new viewers if they can't understand the shoutcasters

    can we not just stream the match live by like having someone who streams well join the game as a random champ with no global effect in anyway afk somewhere on the map?

    Ruins the flow of the game. People are discouraged to push because taking turret is a lot more difficult.

    I'd actually like to request feedback before I put myself up as a shoutcaster. Any positive feedback/ideas for improvement would be very greatly appreciated.

    Also, I think tournaments should be set up for the players who haven't been playing for years like some other players have to put up a fair playing ground. Otherwise, I think in regular tournaments the groups should be made so there is an equal difficulty in each, or otherwise using a randomising program as some have suggested.

    Then a turret win becomes more difficult to attain, compared to kills or creep. It could have a drastic impact on certain champion choices. Other cons include not being able to see the whole map, and not being able to see items, cs etc easily. Definitely not worth it - there's no issue with having a 3 minute delay.

  19. Dark Ruff ruff

    im up for shoutcasting if my new mic turns out to be good, though more for keeping shit flowing than actually providing game knowledge

    also can use my desktop for actually providing the stream - one of the few things 6 physical cores are good at and I would be controlling it remotely so no need to touch it/interrupt stream/etc to interact with mumble etc

    and it would allow me to play (on laptop) and stream simultaneously if I wanted to participate



    Edit: I will test its ability to stream and record (dxtory) at 1080p simultaneously

    I was joking anyway, blue doesn't really strike me as the outgoing shoutcaster type. Unless you mean be your minion to acquire coffee. In which case, lol.
