CEONSS-OMNI Round 5

Mailbox · Post by **Mailbox** » Mon 25. Feb 2019, 18:40

EDIT: Date has changed to the 10th of March.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for the relatively short notice, but with the 15th anniversary of UT2k4 coming this March, I think it would be appropriate to have our next iteration of the CEONSS-OMNI series occur then! Will "Team CEONSS" continue their undefeated streak, or will "Team OMNI" finally be able to secure victory for the first time? Come join in, and find out as we celebrate the 15th anniversary of this game that keeps on going!

Rules for the time being will be identical to the ones in rounds 3 & 4 (5 maps, 2 points reg/1 point OT, >1 unscored map), with 6 player teams, mixed between the OMNI and CEONSS signup pools to minimize ping advantage. No particular server has been chosen at the moment, although the CEONSS Event Server is still alive, and the OMNI AS server is still very much not alive.

UT2004 was released on 16 March in North America, and 19 March in Europe. So given that we've usually scheduled these things on Saturdays, I think that Saturday, 16 March but the circumstances are different this time around, let's try for Sunday, the 10th of March at the usual 19:00 UTC (3:00 PM EDT) would be the most appropriate time. That's a bit under 3 weeks from now, so this is relatively short notice compared to previous matches. If that's an exceptionally bad date for people, it could be moved.

Event planning will occur in this forum thread (and its mirror on the OMNI forums), as well on the CEONSS Discord. The CEONSS Discord might also be used for voice comms, instead of in-game comms. Information on how to join it, as well as some extra steps on how to isolate Discord's datamining, can be found in this forum thread:

I'm in. I volunteer to be captain for Ceonss.

I'd like the date to be moved sooner. We don't need to hold the round on the exact date. Maybe 9th instead?.

This time we need to do a better job of advertising it to get more players.

p.s. And I think we should use in-game comms instead of discord. I think it's easier

Seems the 9th is difficult on OMNI's side. Would the 10th be okay or should we aim for the weekend after the 16th (23rd/24th)?

I can't do the 16th or later.

I'd be happy to move it to 10th.

Gotcha. I asked on OMNI if they can make it on the 10th.

Since the 10th of March looks like a better date for people here so far, I've decided to move the match date to then.

Hope we can get a match going!

10th is better. I'm in for 10th.
