Digital Era Tournament (DET)

[Rayce]

While I'll probably participate regardless, I'd like to state that I highly disapprove of the banning of vehicles and (certain) special units. They are part of the game, we should deal with it. To me it doesn't feel like a true test of skill in the game if certain elements of said game are left out.

With regards to YAK, I did talk to {YAK}c0c0beam a few days ago, who I think was the 2nd highest ranked YAK player in the ICW6 battles (right behind Gangstar) and he was very interested in bringing YAK to the table.  I think he hesitated because of his uncertain travel schedule the last half or quarter of July.  I'll be talking to him again tomorrow.

I recommend against there being two distinct factions (YAK and IA/IC) which both attempt to play the role that YAK has played in previous tournaments.

There will probably only be IC. Im not sure YAK'd have enough members to participate if IC is already in...

I apologize for being late to posting YAKs participation For DET. I thank Red04 for the establishment of IC. All YAK members shall rally together in the new IC team for the DET!

NOTICE!

Now IC is called IA (Intergalactic Alliance). Regarding the group of players nothing has changed. I congratulate c0c0beam that he has decided to join IA.

I find it's a bit difficult. I have already tried to contact some YAK members and I don't even know about them...

Also, I haven't created IA to make YAK competitive. I have created this group to be able to play DET and allow other players to participate.

The truth is that it's a shame YAK isn't going to participate. It seems that what has happened this year (someone has explained me) is that the number of online players has dropped or they have disappeared themselves.

[Anyder]

There are not enough players to do what u want. Its either IA or YAK, but both wouldnt be able to take part in this since both are there for the same purpose.
Of course the number of players has dropped... the community got way too inactive, that is why im trying to organise a tournament.

Sorry I couldnt post this before. These are all the maps picked for the DET "Galaxy":

Coruscant: City, Coruscant: Streets
Rhen Var: Citadel, Rhen Var: Harbour
Hoth: Caves, Hoth: Echo Base
Yavin IV: Temple, Yavin IV: Arena

Tatooine: Jabba's Palace
Dantooine: Dust
Mygeeto: War-torn City
Mustafar: Refinery
Polis Massa: Medical Facility
Utapau: Sinkhole
Geonosis: Chain Isle (If Chain Isle doesn't work, we'll use the stock Geonosis: Spire map, but it's pretty big)
Earth: Jai Nollan

Unit is working on the image to display which maps each team has, so as soon as I get the image, Week 1 thread will be posted.

[Joseph]

Will there be a map pack provided, and if so, when can we expect it to be posted?

Geonosis: Chain Isle (If Chain Isle doesn't work, we'll use the stock Geonosis: Spire map, but it's pretty big)

When will we know whether this map works or not?

Ask that to DP.
I lacked the time to compile it myself, or even to create the image.
