Graal is coming to MLG
 

Hey guys,
I've been in contact with the Game Ladders Admin on Gamebattles.com, which is the tournament/ladder circuit known as MLG. It seems hopeful that Graal will be added to MLG and there will be a 1v1, 2v2, and 5v5 ladder! I'll keep everyone updated as more information comes in.

What

This might bring publicity to graal but... What

First of all, if you are talking about competitive sparring, then a big roadblock is the lag. iClassic is one of the few games out there that you can rightfully blame lag on you losing, because it's just that bad.

nice, looking forward to my Razer sponsorship

graal montage parody?

plz no

imma livestream on twitch if it happens

dude, if mlg takes on graal. first of all people are gonna meet irl. second of all if they can't they will divide matches by continent.

my mountain dew and doritos are ready

This is going to ruin Graal...

Git gud, my fedora is tipping itself from excitement.

Although I agree Graal needs to better their servers, there are times during the day where there is little lag, so if you're challenging someone aim for those hours. Also if you're complaining after every match you lose, about lag, it's probably you who lags. I want to bring this point forward, during the regular season, matches will be challenge only. So don't challenge people you think lag or know lag.

MLG will be our way of creating competitive systems without having Graal staff involved. No more waiting for 2v2 arenas, single spar tourneys, or every 3months for GST. All of these will be available on MLG, and depending on how many people we attract to gamebattles URL there will eventually be prizes to win! Crimewatcher and his Event Hosting guild will most likely take over the responsibility of refereeing matches along with anyone else looking to apply.

Once they see what Graal is like they will probably cancel any plans with making a tournament out of it, there is under 100 people who actually spar so it is not too popular and would be a huge waste of money setting it up.

Worst statement ever, all of the main spar guilds consist of 20+ each, with at least 10 of each actively sparring as a minimum. If MLG became involved with Graal, it would only increase activeness

Graal has massive potential, it only takes a buyer/sponser/broadcaster to realise it and develop it

Out of that 20 people at least 60% of them are in other high-tier spar guilds as well. Half of them are literally just the same roster under a different guild name.

I would also as of now only consider 3-4 guilds to be above average and good enough to compete, any hosted tournaments would be a majority of noob guilds who think they are good, same with the players in them it would tend to be the same players winning and anyone who joins just to spar for the tournaments is going to have a terrible time becoming good at it.

Colin was being realistic here. The thing is we really don't know the exact answer. But if they deny, we can still host our matches through Crime's events and have fun with it.
I like how Demrow came up with this idea. I always thought about it but now it's like taking a step forward to a real stage.

I think people can get talented at spar enough to defeat the OG and talented players in spar now, with real encouragement. Just making spar more wanted will bring in more people but to keep the people to stay they gotta love spar or have ongoing encouragement to get better. Now spar is just pride and a number and maybe a hat, just like the rest of classic oh and teh LLOOTZ bea! I hope whatever this thing is that this thread is about makes spar bigger and brings people closer to graal. Oh and meeting people in real?! You'll see me with a ski mask on suckas

Graal makes a ton of money already.

Not sure why they don't advertise but whatever

TSM Fulgore incoming

So let me get this straight.

You think that Unixmad will cooperate and allow changes that cater to competitive sparring.


lmfao

+rep

don't think you guys are actually understanding this
it's just some MLG-powered leaderboards circuit, it's not as if GRAAL SPARRING TOURNAMENT will be at MLG Vegas or something

I doubt this will materialize into anything meaningful because it requires some sort of cooperation from the management of the game, but it doesn't hurt to try

Sorry but what manager wouldn't accept free publicity?

Unixmad

you're a moron

To make this work, we need most of the sparring community involved and promoting it. I hope we have a strong enough community to make this fun and competitive because anyone who's ever done an MLG ladder knows how great it is. I've seen a lot of growth in the sparring community so this is a perfect time to get things going.

Whats the point...? Am i missing something?

Kendama, MLG is a ladder/tournament circuit for competitive players and guilds. For Graal we're planning on having a 1v1, 2v2, and 5v5 ladder in which players can compete. You will use MLG site to set up matches and challenge opponents. Once you've completed your match you submit your results which automatically updates to the ladder. Much like sports there is a regular season and playoff which could be every 3 months or however long we decide. After the regular season is over the top teams or players compete in a playoff for prizes. How big the prizes depends on how popular our ladder becomes. It's an awesome system that I've used for other games and have had my best gaming memories participating in these tournaments. I'd advise all to try it if everything works out.

Go to gamebattles.com if you want to check it out and learn more

In all fairness, he has had plenty of free publicity, just of the negative sort.

MLGLAND

They will fly the 16 best teams out to Vegas with full coverage on twitch

QUICK! kill the thread by naming the 16 teams that will make it to vegas:D





Good idea, but I don't think sparers can put their lame differences aside to make this fun.

I'm not a competitive gode mode sparer, but 2v2 sounds fun.

Graal on MLG... Rofl i would like to see that happening.

i knew it!

graal was the only reason why I could tolerate BF4s **** lag and my friends couldn't. But graal as MLG game? naw, zone maybe due to good balancing and less lag.

watch out FaZe Craftz is here now 8^D

Paas me the mountain dew

Who wants to get noscoped

ew FaZe. OpTic Zetectic here.

You guys will all get destroyed by guild C9

I can't wit to get phlone to Vegas with Yall

Just got a response from Ron from MLG who runs the ladder:

Thank you for the message and all the information. I am going to play the game for a couple days this week and decide if it's something we can put up arena for on GameBattles. I am certain we will be able to get something up and running to allow the games competitive following to grow.

I will follow up in the next few days.

let's just hope he stays away from Graal City

i gotta tell ya... Ron's gonna have a hard time LOL
24 hours til spar is unlocked.
No task, don't even know what to do.
Server lags, small glitches - Some what fixed.
12 yrs old asking him to marry
No gralats - Need to learn how to do Pyrat Quest
No customization pack, house unless he downloaded classic +

We have to show them the good things about Graal
tell them graal players are equal - 3health, no boost item, 1 sword.
international game & simple to learn

Spirit tK #tKAllDay
Yea, OpTic actually destroyed them in CoD champs recently D:

you need to be identified to spar, I believe, which adds to the list

uh most of the stuff you posted is irrevelant. Spar was recommended for MLG. That has nothing to do with collecting gralats and customization so I don't see your point.

How to put GraalOnline Classic in GB.
1. Matchmaking system which selects a random opponent who is also looking for a spar match in order to not boost up the ladders.
2. Better servers.
3. Leaderboard rankings in-game would have to sync with GB rankings.
4. Tag team spar lobbies need to be added, also the tourney. Same thing goes for singles ladder.
5. They should probably just create the xp system similar to what graal already has with the 10x win/loss ratio.
6. Unixmad would have to agree to this, I think?

Hopefully an in-game voice chat could be added, that would make graal way crazier for GB. Lmao, "Don't worry, I'll go around and get the cross, keep their attention on you. Push them to the wall!"

he said he's trying out the game. 24 hours is a long time bro.

yes

You should make him to contact me in game. So I can show him anything he needs.

You forgot lag limit.

Nicely done buddy keep us updated.
