If you promise me that you will change your avatar into a Pink unicorn i promise you next update he will have a defeat by me

Didn`t even change it and it still happened :p

No Min34, if you don't change your avatar to a Pink unicorn, I won't put that result into the next update :D

Joke aside, hey, if I would have enough time I would write daily "breaking" news for the interesting happenings on the Tour, like this one. And I have many other exciting ideas waiting for implementation too... But my little freetime is given, this is what I must use wisely :|

Could you remove me from the invite list? I'll be going to take a break so trying to finish my currently ongoing games like i should (no free wins) and then some time not having this in the back of my head.

Thank you Ekstone for the answers:)
Keep up with the good work.
Hope more players will join the tour...

min34 lets do another bet then if i go to the finals you will put a pink unicorn as your profile picture

@wakanarai
Of course, I removed you. Anytime later if you will want to join again, just write here or any other Tour topic (or PM) and I will add you again.
And thx that you will finish your games, in the tennis the players many times just give up their games giving a fictive injury as a reason (the injury in the Warlight is the boot :D )

@Doron Hoh
yw, but more players = more organizer works :O

@DR. Love
OMG, GreenTea, Timon, Sultan and now Milly and reached the final.
Congrats man! Very nice job!
A new Greek Warlight phenomenon after Panagiotis :O
Where the hell did you both come from? Before the AWP World Tour I don't think at all that there is any Warlight players from Greece :O Are you alts? :P
Btw I remember a chat game where I try to evidence to Gnuffone that I am a real player and not an alt :D
It was a dual feeling, bad because it was not a simple thing to prove that I am not an alt, but I was very proud too that they thought I am an alt of a good player (if I remember well he thought I am an alt of Arlecchino) :D
So again, are you alts? (remember, this is a commendation if you aren't :D)

no both of us are genuine players but panagiotis is the genious

Greek community aint big but we are trying hard to organise and help each other we have high hopes for some younger members:)

I am not that good though, i really dont know how i managed to go that far:P as you can see from other competitions am not doing that well but earth wr was always a favorite map for me:P

Panagiotis is a genious he is a less than 18 and he should be praised he loves this game and he is trying hard i am much older but i have to admit that i learned a lot of things from him but what is even more important is how much he helps everyone and how much he would love to see a player with the greek flag to win.

It took me really long time to improve a bit and i am still doing silly mistakes or not thinking a lot and fucking up some games but i am happy to see myself becoming better and better.

Lets not forget though glamourous who he is a really good player

Panagiotis is our Master Greek player an excellent player but mostly an excellent character:) and i really hope he wins this tournament i had a really nice tournament here but i am not at that level it was luck and try harding determination :P

I kind of was seeing how Panagiotis and DR. Love were gradually progressing. Panagiotis is a total Warlight addict (or, better said - freak, amirite?) seems to be playing it 24/7, last year he was kinda average (still better than me though xD), but with time learned everything in practice. I like those two :P

Well, as I see then, the Greek community is very admirable, all my compliments yours!

MIFRAN, Panagiotis, Milly and from now you too no matter how modest you are :P, were to me the discovered players on the Tour (I didn't know you are so good before the Tour, although MIFRAN and Panagiotis were invited to the two big clans in the beginning of the Tour, so other knew their skills earlier than me :) )

Well anyway, two Greek players already in the TOP10 as a small Phalanx :), congrats!

These tournaments while the same size are worth a different amount of points, it is just because 500 is in the title of the first one right?

Edited 10/9/2016 17:19:50

@Buns, yes the 500 tournaments are worth more

@Buns u are doomed to do great things in the 250 events xD I believe in u !

Is it possible to add an extra column writing about win% of a player at the main Ranking List?

@Buns
This was my original idea :)

• 128 players will be invited to the 4 Grand Slams
  
• 64 players to the 8 Masters 1000 events
  
• 32 players to the 500 series events
  
• 16 players to the 250 series tourneys

In the beginning I thought the AWP World Tour will work similar than the tennis Tour. In the tennis, the TOP players mainly plays on the 12 major events and only a few 500 or 250 Series events only (and only their sponsor the reason why they play on them at all :D ). A TOP30 player average play only on 20-22 events per year (on the 12 major plus 8-10 smaller events).

But in our AWP World Tour, you guys, you are fanatic :D
The TOP30 players joining almost all the events so far :D
This is why I had to raise the original player numbers and use "qualification" rounds.
So now the 250 Series events are very hard in Ranking point of view. You have to win 3 games to get 45 points (in a Grand Slam you get it after 1 win, the other events need 2 wins but not 3). And if you win the event you get only 250 points (compared to 500, 1000 or 2000), and still need to win 6 games for it :O

But again, originally, these 250 Series events are for the medium players to gain some points for the Rankings, not the TOP players :D

But became to this :D
Anyway, I am open every proposals to improve the Tour.

@Pana
I am planning to improve the google sheet, and if I separate the present win-loss field then I can create a new automate calculated win% field.
Anyway, we are talking with PJ about some changes on the Tour, but now there is nothing clear yet.

maybe a limited participation from the top players in 250 500? for example you have to sign up max 5? and special tournaments for new people or midlle in points people? and only 1-2 small tournaments with the top 16 but it will mainly be a show not many points just for the fight between the top 16 for example

special tournaments can give for example a guaranteed wild card in a grand slam or other tournaments

Edited 10/11/2016 14:14:36

Dr. Love playing in many 250/500 tournaments isn't that advantageous. Max points from these tournaments are limited. These are just for fun and not for the competition anyways cause they only give very few points

if we upgrade the points? and have less rounds?

Those are called 1000 master or Grand Slams, thats the point with this system.
That some tournaments are given more points for example the 4 Grand Slams which are a lot more attractive to go far in than the 250 if u want to gain more points.
If u want to make all tournaments counts for the same amount of points, the hole system would be almost similar to the current WSOW, just with more tournaments ongoing.

Hey guys, I propose that we identify the issue first, and only then try to find (a better) solution to resolve it.

Is there any issue at all? :D

Remember, the Tour is a fun series ;)
The main purpose of the Tour, provide continuously playing opportunities in multiday tournaments against good opponents a weekly basis. Everything else is extra :D
Ok, some of these extras are the finest spices on the Tour, but still extras :P


Ok too much speech by me again....
So what is the issue with the events exactly?
