Dreamteam game put to a halt

23-11-2013 18:32

Due to unforeseen problems we are sad to inform you that our MSI Beat it Dreamteam game cannot be completed in a proper manner.

Some of you may have noticed that our Dreamteam game is not updated yet, and the reason for that is that for the first time ever we have hit a wall as we are unable to process all match statistics.

Unfortunately the servers were not logging the data automatically, and we haven't caught the problem on time, so we only have logs from several games that we got manually. And with still being unable to analyze demos in CS:GO other than by watching them (some demos are missing as well), it leaves us with no backup option to keep the game running as planned.

The only options at this moment are to give out the prizes to randomly selected players who signed up for the game, or to add as many (or few) matches as possible at a future point after analyzing the demos manually.

We know that many of you invested time into this game, so we deeply apologize for what happened, and please do let us know which option you would vote for in the comments below.

I would like to personally apologize to everyone, as I should have checked if the servers were logging all the data at the start of the tournament. It simply never occurred to me that this could happen, cause it never did before since CS:GO came out as servers usually have the "log on" command by default. As you may have noticed we did have stats for the first round of matches, but that was merely a coincidence as I made them record the log through my computer so I could keep track of the scores, which I later didn't do for every match (or not from the beginning), meaning that many of the logs are incomplete. In theory I could complete them by watching the corresponding demos and reconstructing the events, but at the moment there is no time for that to keep the game running properly (it would take days probably). And also, some matches were unfortunately not recorded. We have considered starting the game over from scratch only for tomorrow's games (semi-final, 3rd place + grand final), but it would be unfair to many people who are unable to create/change their team in the next ~8 hours, so I think at this point it would be most fair to randomly draw a prize winner out of all participants. Let me know what you think, and once again, apologies to everyone.

2013-11-23 18:38

its ok since u tell us wots the case... it only sucks if nothing moves in dreamteam and u just wait for any update but there is none. thx and gl next time

2013-11-23 18:39

It's ok, man. Shit happens.

2013-11-23 18:58

its ok

2013-11-23 19:00

Either reset the current game with default money to all or leave it as it is now(which would be a little unfair because scores from all the matches were not counted) and open the market for tomorrow...if you can do that...and we totally understand that in the process of maintaining such a huge site these things happen...Keep bringing more dreamteam games, Cheers

2013-11-23 19:08

no problem! =D Even tho I wouldn't win anything :p

2013-11-23 19:09

It's fine, you can just send the prices to me. Tnx.

2013-11-23 19:46

best mistake ever do random !!! (my dreamteam was fucked up anyways)

2013-11-23 20:25

Its ok dude, you're doing a great job anyway, everyone can have a small mistake. Just draw some winners randomly and that's it. Keep it positive, keep working hard and stay well. This is a just a small bump in the road. :) GG

2013-11-23 20:34

add all the prizes to DH dreamteam so that everyone will have a fair chance of winning and there will be 6 winners insted of 3. make the next dreamteam winnings big :)

There isn't a single human being that lived through history that didn't make a mistake.

2013-11-23 21:12

its okay man <3

2013-11-23 21:26

No worries dude! We're all lucky there are even prizes to be handed out. Keep it up and random sounds the most fair.

2013-11-23 22:58

petar I wanted my stuff !! :(

2013-11-23 23:02

It's fine man :)

2013-11-24 00:53

It's fine. You have done already so much flawless work here in hltv so something like that must have happened in order to balance things.

2013-11-24 02:16

Just dont give the prizes out to 1st and 2nd and 3rd place .. give the prizes randomly ...

2013-11-24 05:09

np tgwri, shit happens. keep up the good work for hltv.org community!

2013-11-24 08:05

expect a Dreamteam for next SLTV finals...

2013-11-24 20:24

2013-11-23 18:33

No man, some people did terrible choices and others were getting real close to top 3, that wouldn't be fair.

2013-11-23 18:37

2 replies

well, considering there is only 1 matche counted for all teams that top 3 is not rly relative to the real one ^_^

2013-11-23 18:40

Yeah,Gomez was really into this...Anyway ,in this situation random is the best solution

2013-11-23 20:06

it's okay just give me the prizes and you'll be excused.

2013-11-23 18:36

Give the prizes out randomly so anyone doesn't have advantage over others.

2013-11-23 18:37

Randomly

2013-11-23 18:37

Random. :)

2013-11-23 18:37

Put the prizes into the "guess the winner" pool, and expand to 6 winners instead of 3

That would be unfair to those who didn't take part in "guess the top 3" (which started later than the dreamteam). Random choice is not fair either, nor is any other way, so anything goes.

2013-11-23 18:57

Nothing is fair in this situation, I'm just comming up with a suggestion that would make most people happy. The random giveaway would piss off a lot people I'm afraid.

That could be nice or put that prizes, and winner of DH dreamteam gets 1st prize of MSI and DH, also for second and third

2013-11-23 20:01

If possible, the best option I can think of would be adding the prizes to the DHW dreamteam and by doing that increasing the prizes for the biggest tournament of the year :D

2013-11-23 20:01
