[CSN] Battle Nights Update

csn_tim

Hello again, csn_tim checking in. The Cyber Sports Network will be very active for the rest of August, and I want to make sure everyone in this corner of the world is prepared for “Battle Nights”. I will be posting some general information down below. If you have any questions, concerns, complaints, or suggestions please contact our admins to get everything sorted out.

Most of the information you need is located here: http://cyber-sports.net/event/battlenight

On the “Battle Nights” page you will find information about the admins, rules, schedule, signups, prizes, and some general guides. There are a few spoiler buttons you can click to view certain details, and there are also tabs that each show different pieces of information. Many players still haven’t noticed these aspects of the page, and it may answer any questions you have.

I also have a small update about the anti-cheat. We are currently testing the client and system across different game titles and gathering data, and after a few more revisions we will be releasing the anti-cheat. More news will be announced as soon as possible.

Good luck to everyone!

How does the wait-listing work??

Does everyone check-in then you just prioritize the teams that registered first. IF this is the case, what if a team checks in, but doesn't actually have enough players to play, wouldn't this cause less wait-listed teams to not get a chance?

Prizes from Z8? What? 2k GP codes?

The first sixty-four teams have a priority over the wait-listed teams. If a team doesn't have five players or doesn't check-in, a wait-listed team will be able to fill in that spot. The system removes certain unqualified teams, and our admins will make a few changes manually to give the correct teams a chance.

seems about right.

The entire roster is getting prizes, so replace 5 with 7 for the correct amount.

Some teams are going to be removed from the tournament for not having enough players and/or having players who break the ping limit. If you feel your team deserves a spot in the priority list then contact me on Xfire (csntim) or through private messages and let me know.

I'm working on a list of known competitive teams that I will try to seed properly, and the rest will be done at random. If you or anyone else wants to pitch in some information about the current teams, it would be appreciated.

Lots of zp...!Hostile! is making a team....only if we had enought time...

I have removed some teams for not meeting the requirements, and I have switched the brackets back to 64 slots. If you would still like to play, get your team ready and message me directly and/or sign-up into the wait list. It's happening this weekend, good luck to everyone!

I've changed the rules and schedule quite a bit. Make sure to check them out before the tournament starts, and share it with your team. As always feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions, issues, concerns, etc.

Tip: You can change your personal timezone in your CSN profile. This will help sort out the timezone differences with the schedule and the rest of the site.

I changed another rule to be more lenient, and this might help some of the teams. Roster sizes are no longer limited to 7 players, but only 7 prizes will be given per team regardless of the roster size.
