PvP Revival or 3x3 and 3s solo que on smolderforge!

[pinklal]

Hello there! It is not a secret that 3x3 on tbc in general is fully dead. The last place to play 3x3 was smolderforge, but after few months of inactive, I noticed that solo 3s on your server completely dead. Nobody que, maybe at most prime time people do very few games, but its obviously not enough.
I guess the smolderforge still best place to meetings of every player who like pvp on tbc.
You got a fine scripted core (sure, its non-perfect, but much better then game breaking hellground one used by other servers) and most important – you got a lvl 70 start. So anybody could came and play without long farm and lvling.
So I got an idea how to make people play 3x3(at least in solo que), how to increase online and invite all kind of pvp players from other tbc realms.
Once before, try to host some 3x3 tournaments, but seems most people wasn’t able to play it. Somebody have not enough skill(3s exp), somebody havnt team mates, etc. But what if we give everyone chance to practice and be part of the tournament?

I suggest to try something new. What if we gonna mix solo que 3x3 and rated 3x3 at the season? For example, people playing solo 3s and in the end of season top 8 players get invite for the tournament. It means those 8 guys should create a real 3x3 team with somebody else and play finals. You can’t just pass your slot to other team. You have to be in this team. If some players from top 8 wanna play together – the rank 9 and 10 guys also get invite to make a fully 8 teams 3x3 tournament. And then, the top 8 teams gonna play the real 3x3 tournament as you host before. So winner, rank 2 and 3 gonna get some prize.
Why it may be good? It will provides all kind of players gonna play solo 3s, because you(or your team mate) have to be in top 8. You can’t just say “oh, I’m too god for that shit, just inv me for the final part”.
You know – most decent players of our days like to play tournaments because of ego stuff. They want be famous because of winner status or something. So they will play solo 3s. If they gonna play it – middle skill players gonna play it too. Because they got a chance to play versus and with(remember the solo 3s make teams randomly) their “idols” they will improve cause of playing with bests and finally became part of that top players.
And all other guys who like just spectate games and tournaments also gonna be happy. Because it will be active. It will be some action on air every time.

First time, as a test, I guess we could try it in the current season. And give titles to winners as always. Like 1 team from final part(8 team tournament) get vglad, r2 mglad and few more(3-4 or something) glads. If my idea will works, in the future we could try to make some more interesting and challenged tournaments with real prizes. For example, i’m ready to help the server via donation for s4 codes which will given to winners as a prize. Also, maybe some other people will donate some money for winner prize pool(that money will be given to winners).

Feel free to discuss and make proposals, because its obviously for everyone – pvp is stuck and situation goes only worse and worse. And we’ve to start change something to do it better.

Thanks for reading.

So anybody could came and play without long farm and lvling.

i.e. usually fickle people who play for a few hours, then get bored and drop everything because there's literally no incentive to invest in your character, and who lack knowledge of the basic fundamentals that would make them a viable commodity on the server to promote/boost a certain scene.

iirc the tournament thing has been attempted, or at least conceptualized in the past. problem is there's not enough commitment.
