/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

A Plunderer still jobbed in finals.

I think it's clear now this tourney was pretty much designed for Eds to win. Not that I'm complaining. They're THE /co/ trio and completely deserve it.

>>239368
I voted for the Eds to make that happen.

>>239371
Six out of eight of the teams easily deserved it.

Considering it was a 90+% blowout finale for a contest considered made for them, the realitive closeness of earlier rounds namely
>Warners: 44.6% of votes
>Three Caballeros: 44% of votes
Is actually an impressive showing

>>239378
It is not too late to win KWABOTY 2026 Kevin

>>239379
Can Kevin really beat Jax and Homelander for KWABOTY?

>>239375
The anon saying The Warners match was the real finale was correct. If Warners are honorary 2nd then Cabelleros are probably honorary 3rd.

>>239383
Kevin is in love with his bike though.

>>239389
>his bike gets thrown away by Nazz in the movie
Damn, he's a bike cuck too.

We should all trash Kevin's bike to celebrate.

>>239373
To be fair I actually like Freedom Fighters but they would have felt awkward as inaugural winners. The Eds were the best picks for that. The only thing that could compare were the Caballeros.

>>239390
KWABvin...

>>239393
They would have been, you could say, Glamgals like.

>>239396
Kind of? Glamgals anon at least was active as fuck even though he just made half for the team and half for helping other teams. I dunno much about FNaF but I know those two animatronics are part of a band or something.

>>239397
Voting for campaigners is what got us Hexfag.

>>239398
I guess we shouldn't campaigned for Garland then.

>>239397
I don't mind Glamgals but they should have been second year winnners. This is why KKs are often considered the true inaugural winners.

>>239393
>>239396
Freedom Fighters wasn't one of the six I was thinking of.

Are Eds the biggest anti-underdogs in tourney history? I think they beat out Goth Chicks for largest overall win percentage winners ever. on top of that:
>#1 seed
>long expected specifically to dominate this tourney
>had vocal support
>largest finale stomp ever
>no one at all surprised at the results
I know you got Spinel, Fang, and Garland their respective winning years, but even they didn't Eds winning margins.

>>239402
You know how people bring up hypothetical tournaments and one response is "There's no point, X would just sweep."
This was that hypothetical.

>>239400
Eh, even the second year would've been too generous. Without their campaigner they're still pretty niche and far from a vidya duo even /v/ could get behind.

>>239404
Good point.

>>239405
I personally have liked the Co-op winners so far but I need someone from an actual action game. We have gotten a horror rep, sports rep, and two platformers in a row. We need Dante and Vergil in this.

>>239404
This was the one case where I'd unitonically say yes, such a comment wouldn't merely be a falseflag (again though I'm not complaining, Edboys are legit the most fitting winner we maybe ever had).
Question is who'd have won if the Edboys weren't around? I think it'd have come down to Warners vs. Cabelleros in semifinals, either of them beating Coast to Coast.

>>239405
I'd say 3rd year is when it seems apropos a less "traditional" pick win.

>Edboys are legit the most fitting winner we maybe ever had
I wonder if that kind of plays against them in this case, with people straight up saying this whole tournament was made for them.

Can we talk about how we pulled another /cov/ 2026 and set a terrible precedence with the E8 ruling?

>>239411
We can just vote it again for next year, no biggie

>>239412
Can’t to see all seven faces plus three caballeros next year in E8

>>239411
I think people only voted for no E8 rule because the Aqua Teens were silent.

>>239411
Bigger issue to me is voting it annually. This didn't need to be a yearly thing, in fact I was fine if it was a one-off.

>>239415
I thought it was because we were all expecting it to be biennial and the wording of the form screwed it up.

>>239418
The Eds being glaringly obvious winners in hindsight probably prompted the annual vote, possibly also the no E8 rule.

>>239418
I voted every 2/3 years but I still want it to happen because there are a lot of good trios and it felt like none of them had an actual chance this year

>>239421
People outright saying that this tournament was straight up made for specific characters probably doesn't help the atmosphere either.

At least we will not forget to nominate Rocko, Heffer and Filburt next year right?

>>239424
>implying people will care now that the Eds won

This legitimately felt like a coper tournament.

I'm working on victory screen

Since Eddy is sitting out, how likely are Double D and Ed to finally make Elite Eight in Mr. /co/ this year?

>>239435
Not very.

>>239363
Coayy, when are we gonna have 3-Player /v/ this year?

>>239435
Double D might get lucky. Ed always seems to be the Ed who struggled the most solo.

I think this tournament kind of sucked and was very low energy. Even as a silentfag.

>>239398
If we ignored hexfag literally none of this shit would be a problem.

I think the tournament was okay. Couldn't call it top tier cause the activity was low, but I guess that's given this tourney wasn't even gonna happen and was basically impromptu and following very shortly after a very weird controversial tourney had happened. The results were good at least and there didn't seem to be any major controversies.

>>239398
It almost got us the Mutineers as /cov/ 2024 inaugurals too. Then again the Eds probably would've jobbed had we held this before that tournament.

>>239441
I just wished people would stop calling it the Eds' tournament; makes it seem like a circlejerk.

>>239427
It literally only had one purpose and that purpose was served.

>>239445
Is it not sort of a circle jerk here?

>>239445
The only reason we had this was to give them a win

>>239451
…Damn.

>>239454
DANIEL

>>239447
>>239451
ok shovelchin

>>239375
Really hope the Caballerosguy gives it just one more shot. I feel they're in the running for victory if this is indeed not a one-shot tourney

Please for the love of Christ, I hope that the Eds doesn't attract another schizo just like what Shaggy and Scooby did

>>239458
he will be named shovelchinschizo

>>239459
Or Kevinschizo.

>>239398
Just because there's one bad egg doesn't mean all campaigners are scumbags.

>>239467
Not to mention the Mutineers originated because of meta reasons rather than genuine campaign between two characters. All because of NSA.

>>239468
>rather than genuine campaign between two characters
They literally had prominent avatarfags even before the NSA takedown with heavy presences in Tag-Team and Villains of /v/ and /co/ and that sustained until /cov/ 2024.

>>239469
Avatarfagging doesn't equal campaigning. The entire run was a meta joke

>>239470
>Avatarfagging isn't campaigning

>>239473
Do we even have a host on three player yet?

>>239408
Warner’s would just barely edge out IMO and they’ve got the best chance when they come back

>>239476
Which is now sooner thanks to the vote casted.

The questions about annual and E8 could've been phrased better, as the latter question was dependent to some on the former for some. Perhaps when/if it's run again the E8 question can be asked in qualifiers.
>>239438
Don't know. I may be done with /tnt/ tourney running.
If so then see you Ms. /co/. Which will likely be run one of the first two Friday's of September like usual.

>>239486
I don't to badger you on this but it could have been as simple as
>We have it annually, E8 rule as normal
>We have it 2-3 years, no E8 rule
on the form.

>>239486
Trios… is officially over….

>>239489
That's assuming everyone who wanted it annual wanted the E8 rule.

>>239491
People were saying they would be okay with removing it only if it were a biennial thing, not to get rid of the E8 rule altogether.

>>239490
Too bee ach, it felt more like an experimental one off than something intended for future installments

I slept but now I am back to resume working on the victory screen

>>239493
If there never is another installment it is historically going to feel like something that was put out to give the Eds a claim to an easy victory

>>239495
I still think the Caballeros could have won.

>>239496
The worst part is that they were active in the tourney while the Eds were basically coasting until that point.

>>239496
Anon they directly faced off lol
There are zero possible teams that could have beat the Eds in this

>>239498
Warners if they had strong campaigning from the start instead of starting halfway

>>239486
>I may be done with /tnt/ tourney running
For this year, right?

>>239499
I don’t think it would have helped much at all if they were more vocal prior to quarterfinals
Then again, Caballeros and Warners did get decently close to pulling it off so I might be underestimating the chances they could have won under different circumstances

>>239500
>here's Tag-team
>Wow what a dissapointing tournament, give me a new tournament
>here's co-op
>Wow what a dissapointing tournament, give me a new tournament
>here's trios
>Wow what a dissaoointing tournament, give me a new tournament
>eh, let's stop
>what the frickydoodlepoops? why would you stop?
I can't blame him for leaving

>>239502
None of these are disappointing tho
Only /cov/ was a shit /tnt/ tournament

>>239503
Even the loli thread noted how disappointing this one was.

>>239504
>Neo trying to funpost more to force a board narrative
I do not care

I'm fine with keeping this if we scrap /his/ and /an/

>>239495
I really hope this doesn't turn into another Hank situation where people cite the Eds winning Trios as a reason not to support them on mains. (Albeit Hank's is made worse by trolls tainting his name and him making E8 so many times making the burnout worse)

>>239503
/cov/ was really only worse because of how fucky it ended, the actual tournament had a lot of the same issues of low turnout and OC makers not showing up

>>239507
Hank is a reason to get rid of the E8 rule.

>>239508
Every attempt to either strengthen or weaken it has been purely reactionary.
>People in 2020 and 2021 wanted it to last longer or eventually retire characters because people were afraid of FARTS and co dominating forever
>People in the NSA years wanted it completely gone because there weren't any recurring powerhouses
>Now Ms. /co/ leans more to strengthening it after two FARTS wins while Mr. /co/ is leaning to weaken it because of Jack and Hank
Which is why we should never mess with it, people will want the opposite when it suits them.

>>239509
I agree with this, but
>purely reactionary
That's what not "reactionary" means. If anything, not wanting the E8 rule to be altered in any way is the reactionary position.

>>239511
Nice!

>>239511
Great!

>>239511
The a.k.a. logo is the cherry on top

>>239507
>/cov/ was really only worse because of how fucky it ended, the actual tournament had a lot of the same issues of low turnout and OC makers not showing up

People were scared of the Charlie/Doomguy vote having knock on effects and everyone else was arguing about the tie, the actual tournament itself wasn't really THAT bad compared to TT2021 or TT2022, we didn't go through 3 hosts and we didn't nearly get all tournaments banned and yet neither of those got memoryholed.

>>239511
I was curious to see how the Trio victory screen was going to look like due to the amount of characters. It turned out cool.

>>239506
Seconded.

>>239515
People just wanted to dunk on Neo. People were too hard on him.

A lot of the lack of energy could be traced back to Gabriele. Coayy wanted a breather after the /cov/ disaster but that retard was going to cause another tourney catastrophe unless coayy rushed something out.
Between that and trying to force the loli tournament for this month, it's clear he's doing this on purpose.

>>239510
I mean as in "purely in reaction to how well or not well perceived powerhouses are doing". If they're doing really well, people tend to want harsher E8 measures. If they're doing poorly, people tend to want looser E8 measures ,and this had ebbed and flowed a bit back and forth.

>>239519
>>239518
People think(or at least thought at the time) they were the same guy. If it's later proven Neo ISN'T Gabe than I'd be open to easing up on /cov/ 2026 since in that case we went a bit too hard, but if they're the same person than it's clearly deliberate

>>239521
I don't care if they are separate people, the fuck ups in /cov/ as well even resurrecting it were too much to be an accident.
I don't get the sudden want to ease up on some random host.

>>239507
The irony is that this tournament only existed because EEnE supporters were tired of them being cucked out of E8. Yet by the time it was held, Eddy had managed his big E8 break in the main tournament.
Could explain the lack of activity here come to think of it.

>>239523
Again, let's hope it doesnt' backfire like Hank's did. If the Eds go back to struggling on mains and people cite this that would be sad

>>239511
Nice work.

>>239363
>https://co.llection.pics/
I guess the OC from this tourney should be uploaded here.
I assume "trios_of_/co/_2026" would be an appropriate tag, these are gonna be annual tournaments, right?

>>239711
It was officially called just “Trios of /co/” but if another installment happens it will retroactively be referred to as “Trios of /co/ 2026”
There likely will be a 2nd installment at some point so it would be easier to tag it with 2026 now instead of having to go back to change it

>>241378
MY
FUCKING
HEROES

Unironically a great tournament.

>>241383
This has been done before. The first two Tag Team's were called "Two's a /c/rowd" and even then after that both names were used interchangeably for a bit.

>>241412
That's still the loli tournament

>>241598
More like the lol tournament

>>241383
It's not like there was much OC made anyways, but it's done.

>>241901
I always kinda hate how these minor tournaments just end and everyone moves on immediately.
I don't think the winners ever get any kind of celebratory art.
