Daily Rocket League tournaments at Paramount Theater?

edited August 2015 in PAX West
I saw on the Pax Prime 2015 app that daily Rocket League tournaments are being held in the Paramount AKA the Pax Arena this year. Is there anymore information regarding the format or times? Thank you in advance for anyone who knows more about this.

I do see that signups are between 10-12am but little else is given in terms of information.

    Have you played with friends? It really makes the experience a much better one to set your friends up with amazing shots and vice versa or witness your friend make an epic save.

    Yeah a bunch of my friends play it constantly. I picked it up and played it for a few hours. It's not that I found the game to be bad or anything, I just felt that after playing it for 10 minutes that I had experienced everything the game had to offer. I wasn't frustrated by it or anything, obviously with any game the more you play the better you get, and when you get better you enjoy it more but the game just didn't have enough depth for me. Simple games can be really fun, and I can see RL being like that every once in a while but there's just so much hype over this game and it just didn't do it for me.

    I will say tho props to pax for having DAILY tournaments for such a popular game.

    We'll be announcing full details on this shortly, but I can tell you it'll be 2v2 and free to participate (with a PAX badge of course). They'll be independent tourneys each day, so you don't need to tethered to that area for the full weekend.

    So excited that its 2v2! Thank you Robert Khoo!

    I was really hoping when I heard the Paramount was going to be used for e-sports that it meant the MSI Masters Gaming Arena Starcraft II and Heroes of the Storm tournaments, but I guess this sounds like fun too. :-)

    I'm assuming now that the MSI tournaments are going to be happening at the MSI booth on the expo floor? Can anyone confirm that?

    I think we I could make a case for that breaking the PAX No Harassment rule if we I needed to. :-) We I would really much rather you just cheer.

    The Rocket League tourney, the vuvuzela symphony, or screaming "NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!"?

    If it were me I'd go for the tourney... that's just me though.

    The vuvuzela is literally two inches too long to fit in the carry-on.

    Gonna try it anyway, because bzzzzzzzbzbbzbzzzbzzbzzzzzzzzzzz.

    Somewhat of a weird question.. will you guys be running the game on PS4 or PC? I'm better playing with the keyboard than I am a controller!

  • zerzhulzerzhul Registered User, Moderator mod
    I assume PS4 since they're giving away custom PS4s.

  • Robert KhooRobert Khoo Registered User, ClubPA staff
    PS4. Should also be in Tycho's post (I think).

    Yeah, I think it is, I just didn't go read it again before responding :D

    Im not saying I will score many goals or even a single goal as Im still learning this game, but all I really need to know is will there be a corner of screaming singing fans to run towards and do a 10 yards knee slide with my shirt pulled up over my face and arms stretched out in celebration? Ill never score on a real pitch, so this may be my only shot :)

    Rumor has it a patch of field turf is being brought in for just such purpose.

    Anyone interested in teaming up for this on Friday? I won't be there Saturday, and have someone else to play with Sunday.

    I generally play in the mid 900s.

    For those without teams, you can always try to show up in the AM and we can try to match you up with someone!

    Just downloaded the game and went through the tutorials and started playing around and this game is seriously tricky. Guess it is time for me to do an extensive training before the tourney so if you see an asian team that suck really bad go easy on us.
