I know, but it appears that fgcarva has either left the forums or has gotten on of those social life things.

[XxIrishBlizzardxX]

So this is over?

[AndyGanteks]

On PS3, just 1 more match aka final to be done(since FUGA probably won't be able to play me), and on the 360, everyone lost interest a few months ago when Carva went inactive, so i guess yeah on 360 it's ended.

[fgcarva1]

Hey lads, yes I am truly sorry about suddenly leaving. I had my IB exams throughout May and then came back to look at what was up... then I was busy with my graduation and all the sh*t that comes along with it and now I may finally have some free time.

First off, Andy, great job keeping everything together. Thank you very much for keeping track of things. I see the XBOX side hasn't been active since before I went away so feel free to create a new topic of this event that focuses exclusively on the PS3. Otherwise PM the table and I can update the front page if you wish. I can try to restart the XBOX competition if interest is high, it may be since it's summer for all the schoolkids and sh*t.

Anything you need contact me.

Nah, it's almost over the PS3 side, no need for a new topic.

Anyway, deadline for 1/2 final passed, and FUGA sadly didn't manage to play me. It's a shame, as i wanted to finish it before he sold his PS3 and IV, but i guess i'll see you in GTA V in a few months mate, and thanks for taking part in DM Cup. With FUGA not playing PS3 and IV it'il V, it means he can't finish his 3rd place battle, so Comeon12 automatically finishes 3rd. So now Grease vs AndyGanteks is the final. After the group stage, i passed through the 1/4 final and 1/2 final without a battle, so yeah, quite a shame that i'm there. Hopefully i can win a round against Grease at least.

where did you get that from, mate?

Yeh I sold my ps3 but not IV, IV is untouchable/unsellable, and I plan on buying a new Ps3 soon. Anyway, only one person knows this fact, not sure why he made it public. What matters here is that I moved to Dublin, so it was no point to leave my console in Spain if it was going to be used by noone.
I know it's my fault for not being able to play the matches, but this tournament was kind of a fail due to the 360 side being a pure fail, and half of the ps3 players not managing to play their matches. Not to mention that carva wasn't either able to handle the tournament.
Once again I don't blame anyone, life comes first, but the best and fairest choice would've been to cancel the whole tournament, as I don't think it's going to have a true winner. I'm not being selfish nor I'm upset, but there are some amazing players such as Blizzou and ExplicitMo who didn't manage to play their matches either. Also Andy, you got the finalist spot without playing quarters nor semis. It's kind of a shame and you even admitted it.

I believe this had to be said, that's just my opinion. But please, do not change your opinion because of this. I'm really grateful that you took care of this Cup and you tried your best to save the tournament. I hope you enjoy the final encounter mate, and also hope for you to beat Grease, as he seems to be stronger than you. Do not let him take the win.

As I've said many times, I really hope there will be a proper system for leagues and tournaments once GTA V is out. I think gtaforums is capable enough to do that job. Good luck and Viva La Roja

Well, you said it, here.

Guys it's confirmed. I'll be moving to Dublin at the end of June. It will be my last month on gta. I'll be back for V. smile.gif

As i said, i wanted to play you as soon as possible, so that you can play the final before you leave for Dublin, but you never managed to add me, so i had no choice in the end.

[EL_FUGA]

Where does it say that I sold the ps3 and IV?

I just stated what I felt about this tournament. Imo it doesn't feel right getting a final spot by just beating two nobodies. I guess you got lucky here
Once again, good initiative from you for making the boards for fgarva, but what's dead is dead. I'm not the one to do the job here, I was hoping for someone to claim this tournament as cancelled.

Enjoy this final mate and see you in Los Santos

[fgcarva1]

I'd just like to announce that although I was inactive most of the time and the XBOX 360 side failed completely, I will try this again January, 2013. Hopefully by then we shall have V around but I think it was a good try but inactivity beat us. Andy is invited to host the PS3 side if he wishes, if not I can do it myself. Hope to see you all again next year, thank you for participating this year!

[AndyGanteks]

Sure i will host the PS3 side next year, Carva. Hopefully the xbox works too.

if anyone wants more DM competition on the PS3, i made a small knockout only DM tournament on Lost and Damned: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=513727 so check it out until 2013 comes.

@Fuga - I don't get it, what's the big fuss? I tried to add you to PSN for weeks, but couldn't, you then sold your PS3, there was just no way i can play you, so i had to advance myself, as i wanted to finish the ps3 side and have someone as winner, and as you stated you will be back before V, which meant not in the time to finish off our match. It's obvious that you'd beat me easily, but i couldn't just end the tournament in the 1/2 final.

Andy, I'm glad you decided to host the PS3 side. It's tough to organize a tournament with players I do not know too well but I'm sure we'll be successful.

The original idea was to make a first semester "Cup" tournament with groups and a KO stage and a second semester "League" (July- December) but I'm still not yet sure how many players would take part in that, especially now that the XBOX side has lost so much activity. I guess we can postpone both until next year when V will most likely come out.

[EL_FUGA]

s'all good Andy, good luck.

Looking forward to the next DM Cup.

[ajbns87]

I've got a suggestion for making this potentially work better next time.

I thought the organisation of the tables was excellent, like a world cup of GTA players , but the difficulty of getting each game played and actually having everyone be able to match their availabilities with each other has ultimately let it down.

So next time I suggest this. Make a date as host. Have one standardised setting, say weak pistol (popular choice) or have a poll before to vote for weapon settings before.
On the date picked, set-up a private Death Match lobby, invite all players (set duration to very high $ target)....
...when players join the lobby the game randomly alligns their position / blip colour...

e.g.

ajbns87
greasepalms
EL FUGA
AndyGanteks
comeon12
Blizzou
Ice_cube22
THR-MC_PRESIDENT

This would mean
ajbns87 vs Greasepalms
EL FUGA vs AndyGanteks
Comeon12 vs Blizzou
Icecube 22 vs THR MC President

Once say Greasepalms reached $1000 (10kills), I'm eliminated. (leave game or stay to spectate)
Once EL FUGA reaches $1000, AndyGanteks is eliminated... (leave game or stay to spectate)

FUGA then plays Greasepalms, to reach total of $2500 (15 kills) in the same game.

and so forth with the other matches, until two players remain on $2500...

Those two then play 1 vs 1 first to reach $4500 (20 kills).. the player that reaches $4500 first is declared winner. Of course if there are more than just 8 players the process could be repeated another night, and a selection of winners could be drawn, from say 4 nights of qualifying in this manner.

-----

This would be more achievable than having it up to every player to organise their individual games. Let me know what you think of my suggestion

[fgcarva1]

Sure, we could try that aj, I think that could work but it would have to be in a large map so that gunfights don't overlap each other.

How do you guys feel about the 1v1 League? I know I'm mostly gonna receive responses from PS3 guys because XBL is definitely not active, but should I start a 1v1 league? Or maybe Andy could host one on the PS3, I'll make a new topic and we'll see how it goes before opening it to the XBOX since their much less active.

[AndyGanteks]

Ok, so Grease and me played this final thus finishing the PS3 side of the event, and of course Grease won for he is a better shooter + he actually played all of his matches from the start to finish, so it's only deserving that he won. Congrats!

I'll defo host PS3 1v1 DM Cup cup next year 2013 as i said few posts above.
Aj's idea is good, however, what i thought was, that all the matches are played on the same date, basically, here's how.

We start off the groups with 16 people, matches schedule is drawn. We all meet at say, Wedensday at 20:00 in the chat room. From the chatroom, people who play with each other in fixture 1 host a lobby for their 1v1 and play, thenonce they are done they post their scores on GTAF/take pic/etc, that way everyone can go off and play at the same time, there won't be no pauses and wait and everything would be more smooth and proper. I suggest you do this when you host the 360 side(if you do) next year too, carva. Also, there won't be any big pauses or breaks next year when i go on to host the PS3 side, else the interest & event activity will be lost, which is what happened to this years' event.
If the 2 month break didn't occur, i'm sure both the 360 side would actually be continued/finished, and the PS3 side would've had a more proper ending then this.

But of course, plenty of time til 2013, so we'll see when the time comes, maybe even V comes by then, who knows. Happy summer everyone & thanks to Carva for starting this.

So yeah once again, Greasepalms - AndyGanteks 2:0, Greasepalms, winner of
