Hello everyone, just a quick reminder:

Recently, we have noticed an influx of teams requesting players to made eligible for finals. This seems to becoming 'the norm' around finals time. Players will only be made eligible in rare cases, under the discretion of the CoD Admin team. Excuses such as kicking players as a joke are not acceptable.

Quote from Skitch on the 12th of April 2011: "
From today, Tuesday the 12th of April 2011, the PS3 Admin team will not be changing statuses of players to make them eligible for matches.

The reason for this is because it's becoming more of a habit for teams to be doing this, and it's simply in your control to be on top of your team, and for you to ensure, that your players are available to play particular matches.

FOR EXAMPLE; If a team has nine players and for some reason only has five players eligible to play, that's not our problem, we're not going to make a player eligible just so your team can field a full squad.

However, in some instances we will make exception, if the reason for a player to be eligible is out of their control or their team's control, then we will be able to deal with it. Such situations will be determined at the admin's discretion."

If you have any questions concerning this issue, please open a Support Ticket.:

The TOP 16 positions from each of the above ladders cannot challenge or be challenged. Each ladder is now 'partially' locked in preparation for finals. Any existing challenges have until 8th February 11.59pm to be completed or they will face cancellation.

i.e Ladder Lock (and Roster Lock) affects teams that are within TOP 16 or are vying for a finals position (TOP 16 position).

Teams that have no current challenges that may impact TOP 16 placings are immune from Ladder Lock (and Roster Lock). Teams in this situation are free to challenge / be challenged as per usual.

Players who join a team after Roster Lock will not be able to compete up to and including finals. Matches between Roster Lock and the commencement of Finals are included."

When Ladder Lock occurs, the top 16 teams of the ladder will be locked into their positions and will not be able to make or be challenged. Challenges issued prior to Ladder Lock that are not complete by Ladder Lock will have one week to be completed (until 8th Feb 11.59pm). If they are not completed, the matches will be cancelled (pending any extreme circumstances). Teams outside the top 16 will be fine to challenge and play as usual."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CYBERGAMER PS3


The moment has come yet again. It seems like it was only yesterday I was typing up a thread celebrating the first birthday for Cybergamer PS3. But we're here, one year later, one year wiser and one year stronger. That's right everyone it's been two years to the day that the doors to the PS3 section of Cybergamer opened up, and let me be the first to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY CYBERGAMER PS3!!!



A lot has happened over the last year, so where do I begin? Well, first things first, let's talk about the highly successful introduction of P2P leagues on PS3. When Black Ops first came out, we were all a little sceptical some praising it for being a great game, while other wise old sage's immediately saw it for the piece of trash it eventually turned out to be. (Aussiepride, I remember your genius at work)(also, yes you get another shoutout in this birthday thread xo) But, regardless of how crap of a game some of us saw it to be, the admin team managed to launch a P2P ladder and teams were now fighting for cashmoney.



But that wasn't the only P2P the admin team had in store for all you punters, oh hail no. After the completion of the Black Ops 5v5 SND P2P, we saw an objective P2P ladder, the MW2 P2P ladder and the COD4 P2P Ladder all of which providing great matchups. Through the use of these Pay to Play ladders, not only did CGPS3 attract a lot more people lurking around Call of Duty on the PSN, but it also attracted some fairly big names in competitive gaming; Frenetic Array, Parallel Gaming, Mindfreak, and Carnage all getting teams established on the PS3 Ladders.



We also had the pleasure of being introduced to shoutcasting thanks to Bioacid, Milan and Redrum. These three have given PS3 yet another boost in the competitive gaming scene in Australia by providing live, shoutcasted footage of some of the biggest matches on our Call of Duty ladders. And with the steady increase of people interested in not only having their games shoutcasted but also being shoutcasters themselves this is but another step toward PS3's total world domination.



With all these high-end e-sport teams showing interest in PS3, it would be hard to deny that our community is steadily increasing and getting our name out there for all to see. And in August we were given the news that in less t...

Ranked MW3 PUG System:
| MW3 1v1 FFA Ruleset:

[hr]
Hey guys,

Today CGPS3 is releasing a new variation to the PUG system which has been kindly developed by Asterix.

We are calling it 'ranked' FFA PUGs.

Essentially it is very similar to regular, 'standard' PUGs you are all use to, except here, there are no teams. Each player is individual. For the time being, we will be trialling this new 'individual player' PUG system with the Modern Warfare 3 FFA (Free-For-All) gametype. We hope to expand this system to other titles (racing games especially) as well in the future.

[hr]
How does it work? How to get started...

First, visit the the FFA Ranked PUG System here:

There you will find a series of 'PUGs' already made that are awaiting players to join. (as shown below)



Join? - As implied, click to JOIN PUG
Info - Pulls out a 'drop-down' box to view players in selected PUG
View - View a specific PUG in more detail. PUG chat is enabled.
Ranked FFA PUGs allow for 8 players to compete against each other. Each PUG listed in the MW3 system indicates a particular weapon that MUST be used during the match - be it Assault Rifles, SMGs, Sniper Rifles or the ability to use any of the three ('All').

Join one of the PUGs that have been created, wait for it to fill up and 'ready up' like you would in a standard team-based PUGBOT. Once everyone is ready, the match can begin. Suggested hosts with PSN IDs will be shown in the channel chatroom for your convenience. Discuss in the chatroom who will host and invite all players into a lobby.

The better you place in the match, the more points you will be awarded. After a match is played, all players need to return and report the scores into the PUG system. It will prompt you to 'Enter Scores'. Enter the score/points that were accumulated in the match, not the total number of kills and deaths.

The PUG System requires a minimum of 6 players to provide scores. Once that's done, the match/pug will complete, player 'rankings' will formulate and a leaderboard generated. Player ra...

S&D Leagues:


[hr]Introduction

CyberGamer PS3 are proud to present the long awaited... Modern Warfare 3 5v5 S&D Leagues Season 1!
Many teams and players alike will fight against each other over a 12 week period of Round Robin and Finals. We are extremely excited about this opportunity for Leagues and hope you guys are as excited, you can only expect more to come in the near future.

This is a well and long detailed thread explaining different sections of this league and regulations towards it. Although we have some information in concrete, not everything is certain. Specifically selections / payments and other small details may be subject to change until confirmed.

Make sure you read and take in every small detail carefully, below you will find all relevant information for the upcoming PS3: Modern Warfare 3 Leagues!:


[hr]Registering Your Team

A registration thread will be posted at the beginning of Season 1 MW3 S&D Finals, the registration thread will be announced and will be edited within this thread.

If you are interested in joining the upcoming Modern Warfare 3 S&D Leagues and you have an organised eligible team, make sure you register your team and it's members in this Registration Thread:
Coming soon when the time comes!

(Registration thread will be posted at the start of CGo Finals)

In regards to Admin team selections, criteria and other aspects must be met from these teams:

Performance throughout the open season (CGo S1)
Performance throughout recent finals
Performance throughout past PS3 Competitions
Maturity
Co-operation
Reliability
Stability
Ability to pay entry fee

The above aspects are a generalisation towards admin selections, this doesn't mean if your team has not recently competed in finals or other competitions that you won't be selected for a spot in the S&D Leagues. Put more simply, if the Admin Team can judge your team through these aspects to be suitable for a League placing - and better than other teams who have applied - the team will be given an appropriate placing.

This will be the layout for the participating t...

So, what do we have here today? Err,.. I mean, what product have I been using for the better part of the past 3 months? That will be Zowie’s Celeritas keyboard. The makers – Zowie - as such have been an integral part of the gaming scene ever since their initial launch back in 2008. Since then Zowie have not only supplied the gamers with their gear, but also provided teams and tournaments with sponsorships integral to the ever growing success of the industry – that is eSports.
