Hello, and WELCOME to the 47th WarGamingLive Streamed tournament week.

For those of you who are new to WGL, this is a weekly event hosted by experienced players. It usually consists of two LIVE tournaments, which will be broadcasted with in-depth analysis and commentary by some of the top Warlight players. The broadcast (stream) is hosted on twitch.tv. We try to play different settings every week.
You can find most of the earlier streams at:

How to join

Everyone is welcome to join the tournament lobby. We encourage all - experienced players and newbies.

We will be making a "Lobby" to test whether or not the participants signed up are active.
The lobby is usually opened around 30 minutes before the actual tournament.
The lobby will show up in the open tourney listings. Either you can be invited to it, or join it outright.

The easiest way to join lobby tournament is to post here. You will be included in WGL invite list, and will be invited directly into it.

Even if you post here and get thrown on WGL invite list your spot is not guaranteed.
To be included into the WGL tournament, you have to join LOBBY TOURNAMENT first. Then depending on the number of people interested, we will decide how big the real tournament will be. Usually there are slightly less open spots, than people interested. In that case it will be decided following two rules: the priority to join the tournament will be given to the "regular" participants and legends of WGL. Then the other teams will be invited, and we will use first come - first serve rule - whichever team accepts tournament faster gets in.

Commentators and Hosts

We are always looking for new stream hosts - if you are willing to help, and have a powerful computer AND a fast internet connection, then contact either one of the current hosts: Me, Pushover, PS, Dom365, Mythonian

Lol forget that lobby - too early yet

http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/generic?iso=20130817T1830&p0=%3A&msg=Live+Strat+1v1+Tournament

ps said he would rustle up a stream - happy days! Looking on Skype for commentators... only people replying are Moto and Mindor. JSA is online too but isn't replying. The other two are unavailable I think (unsure about Moto).

do something else than start 1v1 - its been that for past few weeks and gets boring

What do you propose? We haven't had strat for a while.

My votes go to Strat 1v1 or Season VII settings.

Will make the lobby in 23 mins - be here!

Currently the settings will be Strat 1v1 - Will only change if a large contingent of players are pissed off.

1v1: turkey. aroma. greece. **heavy earth**. phobia. **earth**
2v2: ##rise of rome##. **europe 1600**

##modified bonuses: no super-bonuses, 0/1, 1/2, 1/3, 2/4, 2/5, 3/6, 3/7, 4/8. light fog.##
**modified bonuses: no super-bonuses, 1/2, 1/3, 2/4, 3/5, 4/6, 5/7, 5/8, 6/9. light fog.**

(i just made an open 2v2 tournament with those settings for rise of rome, if you want to see the template.)

OK Gui cheers for the advice. Add me on Skype please and ps (general.arun and psenough respectively). Can you commentate today?

Qi: you up to commentate? add me on skype please (psenough).

seems i'll be hosting the stream today
still have to test skype sound stuff, but streaming seems to be working
http://www.twitch.tv/psenough

http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TournamentID=5935 Lobby is OPEN

skype seems to work fine, think everything is ok to broadcast, only missing a tournament and a co-commentator

We'll see about Gui. At the moment I have no other available commentators on Skype :(

http://warlight.net/MultiPlayer?TournamentID=5936 Real Tournament.

i fell asleep before it started. it is too hard too stay awake saturday nights.

I completly blew my game vs andy yesterday on account of having to handle all the hosting stuff, it's really hard to do both things at the same time. I think we need a few more active commentators, atleast to fill in while others might still be playing.

Anyone interested in commentating? Minimum requirements:
1) knowing what you're talking about (>50% winrate)
2) microphone and headphones
3) showing up and not ramble forever.

Also, if you're willing to host the stream, we could use your help, you need to have:
1) stable and fast internet (around 10mb upload should do it)
2) a microphone and headphones
3) a decent machine with a bunch of free software (on windows: twitch, xsplit, challonge, skype)

Qi: you up for commenting today?

Shame ps. Hopefully Dom will commentate today - I'll ask him later. Would you be able to commentate/host today too?

Also, what settings shall we use for the 2v2 today? I think I'm away today but the settings need to be ironed out no matter who hosts.

i dont really like Qi's suggestion for rise of rose/europe 1600, they are too large maps for live tournament imho. maybe guiroma? or drakemor's world / huruey's castle.

i'll chat and play if you use one of these templates:
