This thread has been created for the purpose of tracking results in the April/May 2010 2v2 Demigod Community Tournament.
Current status: WINNER! - King_Of_Thorns + Zen_God
Round 1a began at 5PM on 4/21/2010 and ended at 11:59PM EST on 4/30/2010.
Round 1b began at Midnight on 5/1/2010 and ended at 11:59PM EST on 5/7/2010.

Round 4 (FINALS) began Midnight on 5/31/2010 and will end at 11:59PM EST on 6/5/2010
Players responsible for hosting and scheduling their own matches. Then, the winning team must provide a replay and a link to the pantheon stats here for tracking purposes, for every game played. Please feel free to use this thread get your matches scheduled.
There will be a need to disqualify teams that aren't making the required effort to get their games in without penalizing another team that's doing whatever they can to get a match scheduled. It's probably best if teams that are trying to organize matches go on record in the forums. For instance, if I was playing against say AtMa and Ba, I'd post something like the following in this thread:
Atma + Ba: trouser and pacov are generally available M-F from 5pm EST - 1AM EST. Please let us know if some time in that slot would work for you or recommend a time slot that works. I'll PM you in a few days if I haven't heard from you or we can discuss this on lagwars vent.
Something like that. If it comes down to disqualifying teams because they didn't get their match in, the more info and tracking you have indicating that you did your best to get the match scheduled the better.
Here is the FINAL bracket - UPDATED 6/5/2010
Tournament Rules:
How will we handle crashes:
If there is a game crash, the players involved in that match should see if they can come to a consensus on the probable outcome of the match. If there is no clear winner, the 2 teams should replay the match using the exact same demigods and sides (light/dark). If there was a clear winner at that point in the game, then that team should be awarded the win. If the 2 teams disagree on the outcome, a third party will review the replay of the match and render a decision. Be aware that the 3rd party must agree that a specific team was going to win or the results will be thrown out and the match redone.
How we will handle invalid game states:
The lastgamereplay file is still created in the event of an invalid game state, so it is still possible to review the results of a match. In the event of an invalid game state, players should attempt to resolve the issue exactly the same way as game crashes. If you believe foul play occurred, submit the replay along with any screen shots, etc, as evidence and we will review. If there is a CLEAR consensus that a team is willingly triggering invalid game states, that team should be disqualified after a thorough review of the facts. Please be reasonable, though. We all know that Demigod has its bugs and its still pretty easy to encounter an invalid game state even if no one has intentionally triggered it. If your game does crash, it might be advisable to take a screen shot of the crash as proof. Be aware that we know invalid game states can occur without any sort of foul play, so please be mindful when submitting requests for review.
Prizes:
Outside of prestige in our small community, there is also a cash prize thanks to community contributions. The total (and probably final) amount paid for this tournament is $200. If you would like to contribute to the pot, please pm me and I'll get you the needed info to send me a payment. If individuals do not come through on their pledges, I will not be personally covering the difference. My goal is to collect the pledged amount before the tournament starts and I will be providing updates as I receive the pledged money.
Please thank our contributors and consider contributing to the prize yourself.

LOL! Imagine that that picture is actually what Max looks like.
best icp video ever
hey - zen is in vent asking when the match is - if anyone knows something, feel free to post. I have no idea.
soon. I'm attempting to forget about the 1000 needles poking my brain so that I can wake up atm.
I'd like to announce that the winners of the tournament are Boxxy_Koush and GM-Zen_God!
WOO! Congrats guys!!!
My thoughts to the final:
First game:
Tb + beast are stronger late game with that crazy acclimation against Occulus and Torch bearer.
2nd game:
I got crazy lucky and rawr unlucky (or were you oom?) Also koush's AA reg is the best AA reg I have seen.
To the tournament:
I think TB and Beast were the best combo overall, that could only be countered with queen and rook.
Also we have to think about better rules of who has to pick first. The winner of the first match has an extremely big advantage if it goes to 3 games.
Good games guys. Thank you, for all the contributors and participants who made this tournament possible.
Zen_God

*Ahem*
To those who lost to us, remember, losing to us doesn't make you bad, it just makes you like everyone else.
(Sorry, just had to say that quote)
Congrats guys, I'm really psyched to watch these replays tomorrow!!!
I've just come in from a seedy nightlclub and I am quite drunk atm But WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! First DG tourney over!!!! Great stuff
Edit: I honestly thought RAWRRR and Kalel had this tournament. Interesting turn of events
I find your lack of faith disturbing, I might seem lax while pugging, but I can turn on the heat when it is needed.
Congrats to Koush and Zen on their victory. I'll update the OP as soon as I get a chance and I'll notify you as soon as I send the payments out via paypal. I don't know how long paypal takes to process, but I will submit the payment Sunday (eg sometime within the next 24 hours or so).
I haven't chatted with Kalel, but thanks for getting your match in. I think I can speak for everyone that participated or is just following along in the replays that we're glad the final match was played.
-----
Moving onto the future - here's my plan for the rest of this thread. I'd love to get some feedback from people that participated in the tournament. What crap did we get wrong/what do we need to change in future tourneys. Then, I figure I'll close this thread down and we can start another one to discuss what we'll do for our next tourney (3v3, 2v2, etc etc etc). I think before we even finalize the format of the next tournament, we can come up with some ground rules to resolve issues we encountered here and there.
First game was just a slaughter for lack of interrupts and the late game weakness of Oculus. Oh and Kalel/RAWRRRR didn't upgrade creeps.
Why so speedy Zen God? Boots of speed, journeyman's treads, and fire aura lol.
I think RAWRRRR made a bad decision going for fire and ice, but the game was pretty much over by that point.
It was a pretty fun game to watch, congrats on your victory Koush and Zen!
Payment sent. Updated the bracket and replays as well.

4v4 tournies will never happen.
the queen will be proud koush
Zen_God, give me your paypal info.
@split
in my opinion the faster tb wins. Journey treads are just awesome for harrassing towers and making both opponents port in for no reason
Zengo celebrated by getting hammered. Way to be German!
my bad. the replays aren't worth watching.... I was up for ~30 hours and then slept for 3 just prior to the tourney, and it shows :/ Hooray IRL and the worst day to do the tourney. But gz on your win.
pacov did the same
Well done guys! sorry me and renz couldnt stay up because of a power outage
