I know FFXI is not really built for PvP but i wanted to make something different and hopefully fun for those who want to have something different.
Once a month I will be hosting a PvP (1v1) tournament. Being the first month of this I will be covering all costs for the event including payouts. If all goes well and people show interest in this then I will be happy to expand it to 32 man tournaments or even 2v2's. First place this month gets 9M, 2nd will get 4M and 3rd will get 2M. No entry fee this month for anyone. Its out of my pocket to try to get this some traction.
Once the 16 man list is full for this month, i will random the bracket and start to contact and find good times for each match to occur. I will post the bracket here as well as a link so you can keep track of how your friends or enemies are doing. All matches will be recorded and uploaded to youtube so you can have something to show off and brag about to ls members, friends or just to talk ***. Each match will be best of 5 and anyone can come on any job/subjob for any round they want. Remember that swapping gear during a pvp will result in a penalty so it is best to find the gear setup you want and to stick with it.
This is a open invite to anyone wanting to try this out. Remember, this is a trial month so no entry fee is required. I am also open to advice or input. Please contact me on here or in game on Dasoccer or Dabacon.
