Are you game?

“Dota began as a user-made modification for Warcraft 3 and has grown into one of the most played online games in the world. Following in the tradition of Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress, Portal, and Alien Swarm, Dota 2 is the result of Valve hiring the community developers who built the mod and giving them the chance to finally build a full product out of their idea with the help of a professional team of developers and artists at Valve.”

“As for the gameplay, it’s a little hard to describe. The camera is set in the traditional RTS perspective, but it wouldn’t be fair to call Dota an RTS. And while each hero starts at level 1, and many times hits the level cap of 25, it wouldn’t be fair to call it an RPG.”

If you haven’t tried the new League of Legends: Dominion mode, I recommend you do! It’s really neat to see someone do something new with the MOBA/ARTS genre. I’m excited to see what else people come up with…

Overview of Dominion

League of Legends: Dominion is a new game mode that introduces the Crystal Scar, a new map featuring capture-and-hold style gameplay to the League of Legends experience. Dominion games are fast-paced battles around 20 minutes in length that emphasize immediate action and frantic, non-stop combat.

On the Crystal Scar, two teams of five players battle it out over control of five capture points in an effort to destroy the opposing team’s Nexus. Gameplay is designed to be fluid, with both teams constantly seizing the advantage from one another. Special care has been taken to ensure that all of your favorite champions are viable and fun to play in this new game mode.

How to Play

Capture Points

Capture points represent important strategic locations across the map. Controlling these points and defending them against the opposition is the central focus of Dominion.

Each team in Dominion starts with their nexus at full health. The opposing team’s nexus health will slowly drain whenever your team holds more capture points than the enemy. The rate at which their nexus health declines is tied to the number of points your team owns in excess of your opponents. If both teams hold the same number of capture points, neither team’s nexus receives any damage.

Players can claim capture points by right clicking the capture point tower when their champion is within range. After a short channel time, ownership of the capture point will transfer to the capturing player’s team. Points controlled by the opposing team will take longer to capture since they must first be neutralized before you can assume control. If a capturing champion moves or takes damage during the channel time, he will be unable to attempt another capture for a short cooldown period. An allied capture point will attack enemy champions as well as spawn minions to attack and capture nearby enemy-controlled capture points.

And much, much more!

Swiss Golden Panda Open

Starcraft 2 Tournament

So get this, the local SC2 clan Golden Panda is holding a Starcraft 2 tournament at our store! Read on for all the details…

What
The Swiss Golden Panda Open – Open Tournament for all Utah Starcraft 2 Players

When
Monday July 18th 12PM-5PM
Check in starts at 11:00 AM. First round begins at 12:00PM

Where
GamerzFunk
1720 West 5000 South
Taylorsville, UT 84118
(801) 963-2461

Entry Fee
None but the price is $13 for five hours at GamerzFunk.

Format/Rules
Swiss Style with Top 8 Elimination Bracket.
There is no elimination in a Swiss format. There will be 4 rounds of Bo3. Each round you will be paired with an opponent and given a predetermined map to start. After the first round, the loser will pick the next map (No map may be played twice in a match) and so on until the Bo3 is over. After the four rounds of Bo3 the top 8 players (subject to change based on attendance) will then move on  to the bracketed elimination finals. The quarter finals, and semifinals will be played in a Bo3 format. The finals for the tournament will be a Bo5.

Tardy rule: Since we are running a Swiss tournament, we cannot start a new round until all of the players have finished the current round. Any player who is more than 10 minutes late to a round  will receive a forfeit loss for that round.

Observers: Because no one is eliminated during the Swiss portion of the tournament participants are not allowed to spectate other matches. During the elimination bracket spectating is fine but cheating of any kind will result in disqualification.

Reporting Results: All tournament players are required to report their result. Failure to report a result may end up in a forfeit for that round.

Technical Difficulties: Any drop occurring before the 5 minute mark will result in a rematch using the same map. Any other drop will be reviewed by the tournament coordinator.
