Absolute Bedlam Amateur Dota 2 Tournament

[Tom OBedlam]

Hi everyone!

The tournament I posted about last month is finally upon us. The aim of this event to get new teams together and start playing the game competitively and showcase the talent in the amateur tier of Dota 2.

We'll be streaming the every game live at http://www.twitch.tv/absolutebedlamdota where you'll be able to watch teams from Asia, Europe and North America compete for the next five weeks. Fixtures can be found here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...ZZXRLenc#gid=0

We will hopefully have our own website to host tournament information in greater detail, but until then this is the best we have :)

I hope plenty of you tune in to watch our competition, with any luck it'll be a blast.

Are there plans in place to archive the matches? Either through sharing the Dota replays or recording at Twitch. I'd like to watch but 1900 GMT sees me still at work in America.

[mrmud]

I will be uploading all of the matches that I cast on youtube and I believe others will do the same. I don't know if twitch stores all the broadcasts as well.

[mrwonko]

I'll save the replays of the matches in Group 2, where I'm admin.

[azninvzn]

Watch out for group 8. Pretty good teams in there. Especially the one led by Nyan Pudge

[Tom OBedlam]

I'm going to storing all of them in the Twitch account, but we do have multiple casters on each event so some games will be on casters' personal channels.

Group 4 match begins at 1900 GMT

Wait, what?! Seriously?! This I gotta watch!

[mrmud]

Apologies for the wierdness with the stream going up and down, I have no idea what was causing it.

Hrm, according to the sheet, there should've been a game about 45 minutes ago, but the stream didn't ever come up, at least for me.

Because nobody was streaming. It did happen though. Somebody probably won.

[Rauten]

Oh. Thought they were all going to be streamed. My bad.

[mrwonko]

Oh. Thought they were all going to be streamed. My bad.

We try to, but sometimes no caster is available.

[Tom OBedlam]

Yeah, there's a few teething problems with the streaming schedule :/

[mrmud]

Having people schedule their games sufficiently in advance to actually allow for casters to book their casts is pretty hard.
