Hey, sorry I haven't started this tournament yet; been super busy with sale stuff recently.

We wound up with 15 teams signing up, so after talking with Jeff and Jason, I decided to make this into a double-elimination tournament with 16 teams to make it simpler on me! Every team will be guaranteed two matches in this format. Sorry for the shift-up; it just seemed to make more sense to do it this way!

I still need one more team of Giant Bomb Premium members, so if you want to form one, get one together and post all the member names below! The first team to form and send me an @rorie mention in this post will get the slot, unless I did something stupid and missed a team in the original sign-up thread.

Here are the teams I have right now: a couple of them need names. Let me know if there are any roster changes. If I get that last team set up I will try to start sending out match pairings early next week!

I'm down to form a team if anyone is interested! I'm on PS4 (WeBurnDaylight) and in Los Angeles, so PST time zone for me. Not sure how many hours I've put in, but I've played around 1,500 matches. I'm no pro, but I can definitely hold my own.

@rorie Team DAM last member should be me. @zeg is already on a unnamed team just above us.

I haven't played in ages but I want to help out, so you and I could be 2/3 of the needed team. I'm West Coast as well. Shoot me a friend request on PS4 (ChakaRage).

@flashflood_29: Sounds good, man! Anyone interested in being our third?

@weburndaylight: If you guys still need a third, I'd be willing to team up. Also on PS4, but on the east coast if that matters.

@mikerd: We still need a third, so send me your PS4 name and I'll shoot you a friend request.

@rorie We have a team right here to fill the final slot! We are:

"ThunderCougarFalconBird"

• @weburndaylight
• @flashflood_29
• @mikerd

OK I'll try to get everyone into Challonge at some point this week and kick off the matches next week! Sorry for the delay; the sale has been keeping me busy.

Hell yes! itshappening.gif

@rorie: Hi Rorie! Glad to see this is going ahead. Can you update our (myself, @mrariscottle and @zeg) team name to "NintenDownload X-press".

Cheers!

@rorie

• @shatteringlast
• @juicepockets
• @renegadedoppelganger

We are *clears throat* Flaccid Reflux

NO. YOU SAY THAT NAME PROUDLY!

@rorie Hopfully we (Hot Pocket Rockets) still have time to change up our team. We will be switching out @par1val for @upperdecker if we still can.

Sure, I haven't put everything in Challonge yet, so that's fine. I'll try to update with all the rosters and names today or tomorrow and send out assignments.

Sweet. Thank you much Mr @rorie

I hung my hat and guns up a long time ago and retired. Then @fatalbanana found me at a bar in Mexico and asked if I would unhang my hat and guns.

I took my shot of peach schnapps and said "one more mission. Then I'm retired......again." if Stallone wrote this script I know I'm going to die, BUT I refuse to say no to grown men who call themselves "Hot Rocket Pockets."

Hey, how is it comming along @rorie? If we start much later we will get into problems with teams that have ppl on vacation now that summer is just around the corner

I am going to try to get one last post up today or tomorrow with assignments for matches starting Monday; just been busy with sale stuff lately. I may bend a bit on player replacements if anyone is unavailable!
