Welcome readers!
The signups are now closed! These are the members of the team. All who have applied have been allowed to join the team, but some are in reserve, which means that they will be in the team, join our conversations, but will only play if someone from the main team can't participate, or because I feel like switching a little, which I might.
I have an idea about which classes everyone should play, but so far this is HIGHLY experimental, and are by NO MEANS final! So even though it says you have a class assigned, you should take it more like a guideline.
Also note that the main team could only have so many people, so I had to draw lots between a few people. So just because you're on the reserve team, doesn't have to be because I think you don't play well. Some people were also chosen over others due to what classes they want to play.
Team Roster:
Primary Team:
ManIAc - Medic/Engineer/Whatever
QB - Heavy/Pyro/Demo
Multilogic - Heavy
AcidWeb - Sniper
Cartmanjr - Scout
Cypherous - Soldier/Medic
Ofcos88 - Soldier/Spy
Reserve:
Goose - Something
Ironballs - Engineer
12 oz Mouse - Pyro
1337Wince - Something
Again.. Don't rely too much on the classes.. I don't even know what our group composition will be.
Our team: Aprilon Dynasty
Team Tag:
Team Captain: ManIAc (That would be me)
There's 3 divisions, where the two top ones are paid tournaments with cash prizes, but we arn't going for stuff like that. I am going to sign us up to the amateur-tournament, which has no cash prices, but it doesn't cost anything either. The winning team of the AT (Amateur-Tournament), will play Valve as the winning price. Valve said that there's going to be slaugther, but they didn't say which team who would the the slaughtered.
I am taking this very seriously, and if you're going to join, please have the same mind-set.
It's set to start 9th of August, but that could be subject to change.
There's a match each week, either Tuesday or Thursday, but again, might be subject to change.
Each team need at least 5 people on the rooster who is @ready, which means they have been accepted. The signups started 11th of July, and ends 8th og August at midnight, so we have lots of time.
You got untill 28th this month to sign this post, then I will finalize everything.
They are atm. discussing which weapons will be allowed in the matches, and which of the maps that will be played. Doesn't seem to be any class-restrictions as far as I could see.
It will be CP/KOTH/CTF maps, so if you don't know these maps, playing them might be a good idea.
Once I get the jist of who's going to be the main players on the team, I will arrange some practice PvP matches, so we can get some training against other newbies like us.
Class restrictions:
# 2 Soldiers
# 2 Snipers
# 2 Scouts
# 2 Pyros
# 2 Engineer
# 2 Heavy
# 2 Spy
# 1 Demoman
# 1 Medic
Requirements for you:
-Have at least 100 hours of TF2 played.
-Have Ventrilo and know how to use it. I don't mind helping out if you don't know how to use it. If you for some reason can't use Ventrilo, (beyond the reason of you simply not wanting to configure it, or "don't like it"), please say so, so we can find an alternative. (When I have gathered the team that is)
-Have a working microphone. Being on Ventrilo without a mic would be rather pointless.
-HAVE TIME! Most important factor. I don't want to gather a team and arrange everything, just so you can stand us up at an important match. Of course I'm going to take 7+/- so we can have people on standby, but still.
-Have read THE RULES and have understood them.
Last note before I end this long-ass post. (which just shows how serious I am about this.
).
As for the people joining, I will be selecting people and it won't be random. Don't be afraid to sign up even though you arn't that well-known in the community, but bare in mind that I will probably take people I have played with, who I know the skill-level of. Because we don't just want to "have fun", we bloody want to win! :] Just kidding, of course we're just joining to get our feet wet, and try out the PvP-part of TF2. It's going to be hillarious!
When posting your "application", please write the following:
In-game name: (The name you are going by when playing TF2)
Total hours played in TF2: (Can be seen under your community page on Steam.)
Preferred Class to play: (We're probably not going with any heavies AFAIK, but I'm not too sure about class-composition, so feel free to sign up to any class. Feel free to put in two.)
Second priority class: (Which class would you play, if you can't be your first priority. Feel free to put in two.)
That is all! I look forward to hearing from you.
I can be reached on MSN on: [email protected]
Or you can add me on Steam.
Please keep this post ON TOPIC! Thank you.

UPDATE:
They have decided upon maps and weapon restrictions:
Last night we had a successful Community Map/Weapon Meeting and the following map rotation was decided upon:
Preseason 1 - koth_ashville
Preseason 2 - cp_coldfront
Week 1 - cp_well
Week 2 - koth_viaduct
Week 3 - cp_prolane
Week 4 - cp_gullywash
Week 5 - cp_gravelpit
Week 6 - cp_granary
Week 7 - cp_badlands
Week 8 - cp_freight
All of the custom maps will be uploaded to the site prior to the week of their use. The version of cp_freight that is currently on the site has the appropriate layout but the wrong respawn timers. This will be fixed soon. cp_prolane, cp_gullywash, etc will be added as soon as possible.
The community decided to ban the Sandman, the Wrangler, and the Natascha. All other weapons will be allowed. Once the Polycount Pack is released, a news release will be posted detailing CEVO's response to the new weapons. The rules will be updated to reflect this decision prior to the start of the season.

There is no excuse to not use Vent in competitive gameplay.
Unless you're Korean, and playing Guild Wars.
stfu guild wars and koreans are awesome
Eh?
I don't think you understand. I am referring to the fact that many Korean pro teams in Guild Wars don't use Vent because they don't need it. Everyone knows what they have to do, and they have no need to talk.

i really don't see any reason of why i can't use my only skin being Sgt. Plushie.. it's just a facking Equalizer skin! xD
Jul 21, 2010, 01:11 PM#44
Well it is pretty simple really. They want to give everyone equal chances. Which I can understand perfectly. Some years ago, before Counter-Strike was a part of Steam, I was also messing around with sprites and models and sounds etc. For example I edited my sniper crosshair to have a much better view. I created the lights of the bomb a lot bigger so you could see the bomb more easily. I edited the sounds of the AWP so I could still here the one that fired the weapon after 30 seconds; I could follow his movements due the sounds. I can go on like this for a while but as you probably get: It's better when everyones TF2 is the same. No exceptions
Jul 21, 2010, 02:01 PM#45
Hah, I used to have a sound file like that for CS, very loud footsteps.
Jul 21, 2010, 02:05 PM#46
while that sounds reasonable it still seems weird that a simple reskin of the Equalizer is harmful.. anyway i'll disable it for the tourney even tho every nerve in my body screams "DON'T DO IT!"

I had blue muzzle-flash, so you could see people better, another "hit" sound, so you could better hear when shooting people through walls, and I played around with different skins. Never ones that gave an unfair advantage though.
Also, I'm glad to see so many people signing up.
As mentioned earlier, I will process "applications" the 28th/29th.

Thanks! I have no idea how we're going to get so much practice into so little time. xD
We will probably be run over totaly. Let's hope our game-skills can compensate for our lack of tactics!

I have now posted the Team roster. Please take a look.
Now that you know you're on the team, please go to www.cevo.com and make a profile.
Note! It's VERY important that all your information is correct! Mostly stuff like Gamehandle (Player Nick), and stuff like that is important to be correct! If it isn't exactly correct, you can be kicked out of the tournament, or the entire team could suffer for it.
If you don't like posting your real info, and want to *cough*play*cough* around with it, at least make an effort to hide it. Don't make it too obvious that you're faking the info. I have personally put up all my real info, as I'm the team captain, that might be a good idea.
Now that you have done this, please add me on steam as a friend if you haven't already. By all means add me on MSN too if you want, and use that sort of thing. Just ask for it on steam.
I will take personal contact to you, regarding joining the team itself. But probably not before saturday night. I'm pretty swamped with math right now. If you catch me before that, we can take it then too.
You can join the team on cevo.com, but you require a password, which I will give you personally. (Don't want random strangers to get the password... Can I even remember what it is?.. Damn)
