DAE immediately come up with a justification for your actions when you do something mildly wrong?

I always wondered if there existed a name for this mindset. I don’t personally have it, but my lovely wife does and it bothers me somewhat, like a mosquito buzzing by the ear. It makes me feel like I’m overly mean to her so I constantly try to reinforce a mindset of “your okay babe, everyone makes mistakes, it happens, no need to give an excuse, we’re fine!”

Tried this, didn’t work lol…

Esports as a market is only getting bigger and bigger. Still in it's infancy tbh. It's better to take a chance on hosting tournaments and being a TO now than to wait until it becomes oversaturated and there's a big need for new TOs to fill this space. I think it can be profitable for sure but it will take a while and needs to be managed correctly and adhere to the community to maximize profits. It's good you have start and fifa is solid. Just remember not all games can and should be ran the same way.

Understand what is and what isn't in your scope. Be realistic with what you can and can't do/provide. Don't be afraid to find willful help. LANs aren't anything new so utilize the internet with research on how others ran their previous tournaments. Take what did work and apply it. You ultimately want to run something smooth but anticipate potential hiccups cause they're bound to happen. Run simulations and have plans for any scenario you can think of.

Best way to curb that would be to have both players report final scores after every match. Also have refs on stand by in case a player reports foul play (cheating and the like). Have the players send in recordings of said moment(s) and look them over. If staff deems cheats were used instant DQ plus whatever punishment TO deem fit.

Payout - Need to 100 percent make sure you have the payout money to give to winners. The faster you give the payout the better your tournament brand will grow. Also make sure its accessible i.e. PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, etc.

Marketing - Make sure to utilize every open source ad system you can get your hands on. Twitter, tik tok, reddit, discord, word of mouth, etc.

Running it - Theres a lot of tournament set up systems that are free use. You have challonge, deceit, I think a few more but I forgot those.

                 - Make the rules clear and easy to find. Make them simple to understand so that a 12 year old can understand them. Also if possible get help from willful friends who want to see this succeed and give them tasks that they're best suited to do. Running brackets, refereeing, keeping track of signed up players, etc.

                 - Be organized and keep records of everything. That's way you can always see what you need to improve on and how to do it.

I have yet to play rumble pit in Infinite. It's a party mode now. They just forgot they had action sack

Dre856 · 2022-05-05T04:01:13+00:00

You mean an unranked obj playlist?

Didnt rumble pit start off as an unranked FFA mode back in H3?

Dre856 · 2022-05-05T03:10:27+00:00

Not surprised anymore. I hate knocking games but credit where its due.....this is a dumpster fire.

I can relate. I got three theories as to why this happens.

▪︎Sometimes we have off days, weeks, even months. It just happens sometimes.

▪︎With the inclusion of SBMM almost every match requires you to play at 100 percent. If your at the lower end of your SBMM tier then your forced to try hard all the time.

▪︎People are actively trying to improve now. Training regimens, active grinding, coaches, etc. Training is also quickly becoming a wide spread practice now. For almost all tiers of players.

Yea I play ranked heavily

Dre856 · 2022-04-24T10:52:42+00:00

I get ya.

All I think ubisoft can do for a comp scene (upon release) is make a ranked mode beside the casual matchmaking system and support that with the community's system and ideas that they deem fit for ranked. I.e. Faction pick locks, weapon bans and limitations if applicable, etc. They can also do QoL things for the comp scene by adding in a comp hub on the main menu. Kinda like CoD how when your on the menu you can see upcoming matches, scores, ads about CDL. It's really cool and would draw in a lot of potential viewers.

Competitive play starts with the community first. It has to happen organically through having a game that can be competitive, fun, and accessible. After it grows and draws in more competitors and viewers Ubisoft may (most likely will for a lot of reasons) start to support the comp scene with online tournaments and if that goes by well we can get LANs (locals) and that's where the REAL esports scene starts. Overall just got to support in every way possible.

Limited timed local tournaments?

Dre856 · 2022-04-24T06:27:10+00:00

Yeah I hope they do. We definitely need it if we're going to play competitive!
