Should do North American duel cups just as they do for euros. I think their would be a lot of interest and it would help re-energize the NA duel scene. Thoughts?
Who cares about NA-scene? 50% of you guys are cheaters, 40% are tierslumers and trolls. The last 10% (which equals 10 people at best) are ok but hosting a money-cup just for them???
I think they should do NA tournies as well. However, they'd have to get some people from NA to run it, because it might be a bit ridiculous to expect them to stay up so late due to differing time zones. I think if there was a small prize pool you'd definitely see people signing up, hopefully even some pros. Rapha I'm sure would play once his internet is fixed, Zero4 I think would play, dkt is still on a fair bit so he'd probably join in, and there are a bunch of mid-tier duelers who I know would sign up. Someone should email the ZOTAC staff to ask about it (in a professional manner). Maybe some things would have to be changed such as the number of open spots due to the size of the NA scene, but I still think it would be a success and would keep the scene alive
They should run a zotac for points. And first person to 1000 points gets $100.
Now, every zotac win would be 250 points, 2nd place would be 150, third place is 50 points.
Now this way we can still have some competition but the money would stay put for a little bit of time. And rapha would have to play 4 times at least to get a shot of the cash.
Slowly but surely the zotacs would fill up just cuz its fun to play a tournament style duel ESPECIALLY if its streamed.
PPL love being on camera. The $100 would draw atleast dkt cuz hes poor as fuck and always on, and other newbs would wanna play vs a pro in tournament style cuz its cool.
In fact this is a great idea for zotacs! In this manner strenx wouldn't take the 100€ everytime + other people (finishing 2nd/3rd) would have a change to win some money too.
Which would mean when someone has 1000 points, everyone's points are reset to 0.
Are you suggesting that anyone who gets 1000 points can exchange them for 100$ and points aren't reset? I actually like this idea.
They could hand out 1000 points per Zotac Cup (with a distribution of like 400-200-110-110-60-60-60-60 to the top 8) and as soon as you have 1000 points, you get 100$.
That is what I meant. You can keep your points until you get 1000 and then it is reset, so you can slowly build up 3rd place finishes until you get your $100
I tried to do some stuff for na but couldn't find anybody interest. If you know of some dedicated Americans that would like to run some tournies send em my way
