GosuGamers presents new Gosu4Fun Cup to test new tournament platform
Update: We've since decided to remake the tournament 2v2, BD style. Teams of two facing each other in mid lane for some casual fun. So grab a friend and show us what you're worth! (Feedback/bugs can now also be reported here)
After much work and a long wait, gosugamers.net is proud to give our players a first glimpse at a new tournament platform, through which we’ll be organising and managing future tournaments for all games.
The gosugamers event team would like to invite everyone who is interested to help us test this new platform by participating in our next event: The Gosu4Fun Test Cup.
With a maximum of 16 teams, we’ll be following the normal Gosu4Fun idea. Everyone is welcome to join in this small tournament and battle it out for the glory of taking that top spot that proves you’re better than everyone else!
The tournament will be played as a 2v2 BD tournament, on Forests of Caldavar with all our usual tournament rules. Specifics can be found in the tournament description on the test website.
Should you encounter any problems, or have any questions, feel free to post here or in the comments below.
In order to play in this new tournament, we’ll have to quickly brief you on how our new platform will work for tournaments, so here’s how:
Basic Setup (for everyone)
- Before you start, make sure you have a gosugamers.net account, and remember which email you registered with us (if you don’t know, go to ‘settings’ @ top right, and check under ‘my profile’)
- Go to https://www.gosugamers.net and Log in (your normal username and password should work). If you encounter an error, try to clear your cookies and cache (find your browser’s help manual if you don’t know how) and try again.
- Before you can make or join a team, go to your profile (top right) and add your game account.
Setting up the team
For team members (NOT the team leader)
- After your team leader/captain creates the team and invites you, you will receive an email on the address you registered with us. Simply follow the instructions and you will join your team.
For team captains:
- Go to ‘my teams’ and create a new team. You can type in the usernames of all the people you want to invite. These have to be their gosugamers.net accounts, not their hon accounts! (you can invite more people later if you want)
- You can edit your team after creating it, such as changing the name, or adding/changing the picture. (editing members is currently not possible, but will be once the site is complete)
Registering for the tournament:
- After you have a team, you can go to the ‘tournaments’ section of the play.gosugamers.net website and check for our tournament. Click on our tournament and register for it. You may need to select the specific players that you want to join. We currently support ONLY teams of 2. If your team contains more, the site should ask you to select your team members.
- Make sure you check the date and the check-in period. (note: check-in time may not be visible yet, but check-in starts 60 minutes before the tournament and ends @ tournament start)
- Check-in within the check-in period. It is absolutely necessary for teams to check-in on time, or the system may remove you from the tournament completely! Checkin in can be done by going to the tournament and clicking on the check-in button.
Once the tournament has started, the tournament site will present teams with brackets that will be updated throughout the tournament. This means that there is no more external site for brackets, and you can always come back to the play.gosugamers.net website to check the current progression for the tournament.
From the whole gosucrew, thanks for helping us out and we hope you’ll enjoy our new tournament system!
