Vector Olympics 2.0 - Teaser Thread

Thats right Vector, its time

Dates: October 15th-29th (M-F for 2 weeks - 6-8PM EST)

Opening and Closing ceremony dates are TBA.

An official thread will be out soon, with ALL the details, this one is just to get the word out so those who wish to participate can plan ahead for it - also to get some feedback on the categories and what not.  Similar structure as last time, one category each night, but there are some changes as well.

Here is a look into the categories:

5 mil for every event in Week 1 - There are no fees for the first 3 days of Week 2

8 mil per Team in Team PvP

WEEK 1

Monday-MA GM (instead of 3 different ones, just one for all MA, it got repetitive last time)

Tuesday-Gunman (put them together this time - Duelist/SMG/Rifleman)

Wednesday-MKT/ Master Assassin  - (spy abs only)

Thursday-Hacker (Viral only - not patcher)

Friday-Freestyle (1v1 using any style above - hybrids allowed - no patcher/proxy)

Week 2

Monday-MA x Guns (top 4 from each category from week 1)

Tuesday-MKT x Hacker (top 4 from each category from week 1)

Wednesday-Winner of MAxGuns X Winner of MKTxHacker  - marks the end of solo events

Thursday-Team PvP - MA and Guns ONLY

Friday-Team PvP - Freestyle - hybrids allowed  - patcher allowed (buffs only) - no rez/heals/proxy

---

The ones in red are a new concept we will do this time, to match up oponents in different skills against each other, and ultimately, one top fighter among the rest.

Let's see who takes the gold home this time

For those that missed the first ever Vector Olympics in the beginning of the year, here is the recap video that was done then:

 That was the old system, now its time for VO2.0

Sign ups will be done in the Official thread that will be out within a week from today

SPONSORS WELCOME - DONATE INFO TO GO INTO GRAND PRIZE AND ALL SPONSORS WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGED -EMAIL ME INGAME (MANATIKLUNIAK)

thing is that Guns Beat MA easily, and hacker beats thrown easily, I'd do a thrown v.s MA and guns vs. hacker that way the stats make it even. although since I'm a gunman I'm not that fussed tbh

Sounds cool Manatik!!

 Looking forward to it!!

not sure if I completely agree with Denary, but on paper he's right.

 As an assassin I don't have trouble with hackers, but MA is the bane of my build. In your opinions, is MA-Gunman & Hacker-MKT unfair competitions? Let us know because if this is the case I'm sure we can re-arrange somethings. Give us your thoughts

make it a little late...we r working!!!!

So pissed off right now. Im supposed to have my Gaming Rig at my Dorm, but my dad KillDisked his own computer cause he fudged it up with some weird foreign software. I missed last years cause i took to long of a break, and ill miss this years cause i ahve a *CENSORED* windows Me(its a 98 computer) that lags running Worms2.

Hopefully ill have my rig back by then.....

Cheese and I are in Same Boat lolz. Juz craptastical laptops that lag when posting.

make it a little late...we r working!!!!

6pm is the earliest I can start since I get home from work around 5:30 est - and if I start later than that, it gets real late for the Europeans - I realize the time is not gonna accomodate everyone, unfortunately, thats the downside of having events like this

6PM EST = 3PM PST = 11PM GMT and Im not gonna keep it going much longer than 2 hrs a night...the longest it went last time was 3 hrs, but now im a bit more "experienced" and should make it go faster.

I'd love to participate. Why no Proxy though? Any other rules?

All rules will be posted in the official thread within a week ....Proxy Fighting will most likely be a part of the Opening Ceremony or a side event done on wednesday nite of Week 2...its not big enough to have its on Category

I am kinda disappointed in the limited nature of the builds, but this still looks pretty good. Hopefully I can make it.

How is it limited?  We have MA, Guns, Spy, Hax, Freestyle (mix of any you want) then you have more of the same against each other, then 2 styles of Team PvP...Then we will have some smaller side events for trees like Proxy and other small games...

 --

Anyways, my schedule this week just got a lil crazy, I had to fly from FL to CA for the whole week for work, but I should still be able to get the Official Thread going within the week...

As far as more info on the rules, I might as well get this out now so everyone knows well ahead of time...It will be best of 3 again, like last time, that being said, state-based specials WILL be allowed..yes, they can quickly determine the outcome of a 1v1 fight, but with it being best of 3, there should be no problem allowing them...PLUS, the solo final on wed-week2, will be best of 5, since there is only one fight scheduled for that nite (thats the nite we will have side events going)...so even if you have an MA v MKT or Guns x Hax on the final, it will be best of 5 to determine the best overall winner.

Also, sponsors will be appreciated this time around, so radio stations, and other community projects out there, if you wish to donate INFO for prizes as a way to get some visibility out there, please get in touch with me via email ingame (ManatikLuniak) and Ill make sure you are mentioned and acknowledged as a sponsor (ANYONE CAN BE A SPONSOR, EVEN INDIVIDUAL PLAYERS - ALL INFO DONATED WILL BE INCLUDED WITH THE PRIZES)

thing is that Guns Beat MA easily, and hacker beats thrown easily, I'd do a thrown v.s MA and guns vs. hacker that way the stats make it even. although since I'm a gunman I'm not that fussed tbh

I find your lack of a coder event disturbing.

I claim to be the best coder on the server, someone prove me wrong.

OLIMPICS FOR ALL

<---European

Will be taking part

Looking forward to it.

sign me up

Since I couldnt get the flyers done just yet, Ill at least say the entry fees now incase those who dont have it, have time to farm for it

Every event in Week 1 is 5mil per person to enter, BUT there are no fees for the first 3 days of Week 2 (so if you qualify for Week 2, you wont have to pay, but you still get paid for Week 1 and 2)

Team PvP will be 8 mil per Team (teams of 6)

Final Prize for the top 3 factions will be 50%, 35%, and 15% of whatever money is left over for the Grand Prize (at least 100mil)

The Flyers should be ready soon and signups will be taken then.

 (and for those that are not happy with the time, face it, there is no time that is good for everyone and I have to do the time thats good for me as well, so I apologize in advance if 6pm EST doesnt work for you...all I can say is, get off work early, or go to sleep late )
