1 question though, is stun and then out of combat heals allowed or not?

I'll come

I'm all for a dueling tournament. But why should I pay-in when stealth dps are guaranteed to win. Seriously look at the last bracket stealth dps beat non-stealth 100% of the matches and the final rounds were all stealth vs. stealth.

Because it's fun. <3 I'm sorry though, I know some class balances will make things difficult but if there are some rules we can add to help, we are super glad to add tem.

Dude you are a complete scumbag, you're going to try to act like you don't have 40k? You are one of SWTOR longest playing top operatives. And now you are going to transfer over to a dying servers tournament to shyt on all the non-stealth classes and transfer back with the winnings. At least pay your own way.

*edit: looking on his twitch stream at least one of his characters has 2.2 million credits

I couldn't agree more. In fact, I'll go even further to say that he should put his money where his mouth is.

If he is as good as he says, then I challenge him to match the prize purse, as his entrance fee to the tournament. If he's truly as good as he says, then he should have no qualms about putting the money up. In fact, I think this should be his stipulation for entry.

I reckon Busy will win the tourney anywho. I've watched Mosh before and while I can appreciate the skill, I've also watched and been destroyed by Busy so perhaps that's my bias. As it stands right now, the "best" guild pvp-wise has left which leaves individuals seeking a way to make a name for themselves. I wish all of you the best--wish I could make it myself! Damn work ;D

Woah...

We have a misunderstanding so I'll correct.

I have no characters on your server so how could I sign up for something when I have no money there? I was going to xfer day of for fun

Also, If I win I'm giving the prize money to 2nd and 3rd place 50/50 I would never enter for credits as it means NOTHING to me. Disgusting you would assume so. 40k is a lot to some people now? Dear lord.

Next. I actually have the shortest time playing operative of all my classes since launch. I've played operative 4 months now. I made a name cause I dominate any class I touch. I got my name on a sentinel and marauder. I have barely any experience on operative. I just learned it fast like I do alll classes. I topped 3 on scoundrel within ONE month of playing it. Think you got me mixed up with snave rofl. Its funny people who don't know me well assume I've played the class long from how fast I dominated it. I'd pick up a merc or sniper and in a couple weeks you'd think it had been my main since launch from how well I play it. This happens with every class I play

So please get your facts straight before spewing nonsense my direction.

To be honest it gets people hyped to see tournaments from streamers and my presence overall would be good for your "dying server"

Please don't ever assume you have any idea what Im thinking or how I am as a person.

Let's put it this way. Competition brings out something in me

"This isn't even my final form"

I'm going to have a pager on me as well day of tourney so if if goes off while I'm playing I'm going to have to forfeit unless I can take care of what I'm being paged for and get back in time. I work at a hospital so yeah.

I won't brag about winning the tourney as I don't really care about it I'm just there for the community and to have some fun.

Going sleep early for once in my life now. Good luck <3

I'm actually adding 2 mil to the purse when I get to the server tonight so we can increase the prize pool to 3 mil.

Thanks for the wonderful idea.

Also as I said in a previous, I don't want any of the prize money If I win. If I win I will 50/50 it to 2nd and 3rd

Edit: actually I'm really exhausted so I don't think the 2nd and 3rd will work. Think it would be 2nd 3rd and 4th. All people before final bracket that lost so I think that would mean each person would get 1 mil. So all you have to do is get to semi finals and you win 1 mil if I win it of course
