Celebrate 100 with Grifballhub

2v2feature

Recently we passed our first milestone here at the Hub when we published our 100th article. Considering the life span of past grifball related websites, I’d like to think hitting one hundred articles was a pretty good accomplishment. So good in fact that we’re going to celebrate the occasion by hosting a 2v2 grifball tournament this Friday, May 29th at 8:30pm eastern standard time.

The tournament is open to everyone, Amateur and Pro players alike and will be single elimination. Lose once and you’re out. There will be a limit of 32 teams. The winning duo will each receive 1600 Microsoft Points. Winners will be either e-mailed a points code or have it sent to them via private message on Rooster Teeth. Their choice. Yes, we’ve already purchased the codes, so there will no waiting forever to receive your prizes. A sign-up thread will be posted on the Rooster Teeth forums the day of the tournament, so if you’d like to play but aren’t currently a member of Rooster Teeth, you’ve got time to become so.

We expect everyone who participates to enjoy themselves and not cause problems for others. If we receive word of anyone being particularly douchebaggy, they will be disqualified from the tournament along with their teammate. We know grifball is serious business, but try to be respectful of your opponents. It’s not that difficult.

You’ll need the following map, created by Nokyard. It’s a half-sized grifball court, suitable for grifball play. If you don’t already have them, you should also grab the grifball and network test gametypes. A network test is really not necessary, considering you can’t sub someone in if you or your teammate aren’t connecting particularly well to the host, but it can be run if you feel like it. If the connection is a little laggy, you’ll just have to find a way to overcome it.

As stated previously, sign-ups will be this Friday. If you don’t already, watch the GrifballHUB topic on Rooster Teeth for announcements regarding sign-ups and brackets. The brackets will be hosted here on the Hub.

    Oops, i have not tested to see if Network Test works for this version of the map.

    If you spawn in the back room just head for the A and B signs. They will drop you onto the court.

    @Nokyard: LOL…that’s alright. I don’t think the network test will really be necessary. I know some people always seem to insist on it in bum rushes though.

    Great bum-rush guys. Happy 100th article to the Hub!

    Overall I was pretty happy with how it turned out. Sign-ups went ridiculously fast. If I knew we’d have 32 teams that quickly, I may have waited til 8pm to open the sign-ups.

    We did have a little drama, but it seems you can’t have a bum rush without it, so I wasn’t too upset by it.
