Hey guys, NotYam here.
We are happy to bring back the European Rivals of Aether biweeklies with our new series, "Aethernity".
The year is 2017, you have been playing Rivals of Aether since the early access or just finally bought the game when it officially released. Rivals in it's near-immaculate beauty with no DLCs, no workshop and only 10 stages. This is what this possible series is trying to make you live again by playing on the original release build of the game on Sundays at 20:30 CET. So if you want to relive the glory days or you are nostalgic for a time you didn't live in, be sure to tune in!
I'll explain the way this is done:
> Go into your steam library
>Right click on Rivals of Aether or select the game and then click on the gear on the right and select properties
>Go into the Betas menu
>Select the "1_0_1 branch - Build 1.0.1
Rules are the usual ones:
- The tournament will be played on PC, through Steam.
- Check in opens 30 minutes before tournament "begins". Failure to check in will result in automatic Disqualification. Once check in has finished, please be patient as some matches may have to be adjusted. Do Not begin matches until you receive notification that the tournament has officially started.
- Double Elimination
- Bo3 Sets, except for Top8 being Bo5 Sets
- Stage selected by striking between all stages using the in-game method
- Game crashes are reviewed on a case by case basis with the compromise solution being replaying the game completely. It's reportable when it happens more than once.
- When your opponent is not responding for more than 10 minutes or if you encounter unbearable lag during a match, report it to a TO. We will look into the problem
- We are using "Dave's Stupid Rule". During a set, unless both parties agree, you may not select a stage you have already won a
