Hey there folks! Scrod here. Some of you may know me (and my GLORIOUS beard) and some of you may not, but as long as I have your attention for the next few moments that's good enough for me.
As some of you may know a few months back there was an in-house 1v1 tournament that our great admins graciously hosted for us all and I feel like most everyone who participated enjoyed themselves and the tournament itself help our community grow closer together. After watching a few games from World's it got me thinking a bit. Why not have our own little team tournament (3v3 or 5v5 depending on how many people are interested)? I know the 1v1 tournament wasn't exactly flawlessly organized with everyone's time zones being different and everything but with that experience under out belts I feel liek we could pull this off.
Also, to sort of mesh our RP enthusiasm with the spirit of the World championships going on at the moment we could possibly have teams according to the city-states of Valoran with of course champions repping their respective city-states (you don't have to RP a champion on the forums to participate just play a champion for whatever city-state team you are on in case i worded it poorly before) to keep things interesting. If we have enough interested people I can try my best to organize brackets and days for the games to take place at appropriate times so noone has to worry about their schedules and will have games far enough in the future that respective teams are able to get some synergy with their teammates.
Leave a post - yay or nay and well see how it goes from there.

I think this would be a great idea! While we did stuff like this a couple times in the past (So-called 'themed games') it was never truly a tournament.
It may be interesting to have signup sheets for certain city-states, and then you play with your city-state team until the finals for the prize! I really think your idea may work, Scrod!
Sometimes, when you've been stuck alone for long enough, you just have to break out into reality, with no regard for what position it may put you in. It is better to try and fail than to never try.

There are many issues with having a tourny like this being themed cause some city states lack champions for certain roles such as support and it is also restrictive as to who can join cause some champions don't support a city-state.
I like the idea of having teams but there restrictions make it difficult.

Heh, literally broken because... never mind.
I am somewhat curious as to how 3 or 5 man teams would be formed. There are some extremely talented players in our group, and some that rarely play at all. To be fair, they would have to be on the same team, but I sense a very high degree of frustration coming from such a situation.

This sounds like a fun idea and I'd be interested in joining if any team would have me but... there's the question.
Which server would this tourney be on? Timezones I can work around somewhat but if the tournament is on a different server, that is going to cause a bit of an issue.
