I vote Triple Mode. Also, doubt I'm in, I'll see about my brother though. I assume we can reschedule matches to suit everyone, right?

That's an interesting concept, Lingie. I like it.

Hopefully we get 30 people to join.

You mean DM right?

Nope. I'm not saying that it is an interesting idea that he came up with, I'm saying it would be an interesting idea for the tournament and addressing that to Lingie.

I say 32 and 8 teams of "4" with one observer to record for each team.

Or 30 and 10 teams of 3.

I dunno why but 4 seems odd to me. 2 in mid on the 5v5 map? Woo!

lrn2jungle.

wut? I have jungled before and I've been in games where I've had to solo a lane because of a jungler, but typically the jungler will return for ganks, so the game is ultimately still 5v5.

So again, the idea is just odd to me. Could be interesting in terms of MIAs, though.

It could be 2 top, 2 mid, 2 bot, or 2 jungle. Wouldn't have to be any particular one, though, players shouldn't be required to have a jungler on their team. What I mean by this is people can either have a 2-man lane or have a jungler, though the 2-man would be at a disadvantage if their opponent isn't jungling.

Or we could do 5v5s and just use the replay system we talked about earlier.

The more I think about it, 4v4 would annoy me but would probably be really fun and nerve-wracking if the other team has a jungler.

I'm also all for the 5v5 with replay concept, and I also have Fraps if need be.

Alright, me and Geminai just had an intellectual conversation about the game modes, and we decided that it would be nifty to combine two of the game modes; Draft, and One Time Mode.

In this sense, you would only be allowed to play a hero once throughout the whole tournament, and then you'd be subjected to bans in Draft Mode. If we played 3 of the random brackets, that means in round 9, there would be 12 heroes you cannot play. This way, players cannot play the same hero through the whole game, and players must adapt with new heroes. Discuss.

People might run out of available heroes to play?

If people wanted to play Draft mode they'd need 14. Thats not an issue at all.

I'm not even that good with that many champs. I'd be better off random-smashing BRAVERY style, I bet.

What about a combo of Draft and Triple (Triple, as in each player chooses 3 champs at the beginning and can only choose from those 3)?

The use-each-champ-once rule is better, cuz it'll save us from people who plays their champs REALLY well (like RIney's Gangplank or Olimar's Kassadin)

How about you are not allowed to play one champion more than twice?

I was saying this exactly

What? When did you say that?

I do like the more than twice idea, because that lowers the amount of champs that I own that I suck at significantly.

I still prefer Triple, though.

The problem is 1) Many others don't suck with new champs as much as you do, and 2) Many others own with their usual champs more than you do. Conclusion: one-use-each rule
