I'd like to see some people try getting into streaming this season. I've made a very basic guide on streaming Unreal Tournament in the hopes of helping some of you bring out your inner caster. Watch the guide HERE!

I would also like to promote my channel a bit so people know where to go to watch this season's madness. This season we're really cracking down on allowing spectators and that has inspired me to try and make my stream as clear and smooth as possible. I'm always open to constructive criticism but there's only so much I can do with the internet connection that I have. Stay tuned to MLSGTV HERE.

For those that watched the guide and are interested in streaming this season, here are links for you:
1. D3D10 for UT99
2. Open Broadcaster Software
3. Twitch.tv
4. Speedtest
5. Google

I hope this thread helps and I am around the forums and on IRC to help, but please use the guide and google things before coming to me with every problem. Streaming does take some work and a decent computer/internet connection to do properly, if you're not confident in both of those you might not want to try streaming. ]]> GU Siege General |uK|Rays http://www.unrealkillers.com/f51/global-siege-stream-information-basic-guide-streaming-mlsgtv-3954/ http://www.unrealkillers.com/f51/global-siege-newspaper-captain-up-protips-included-omg-3953/ Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:44:16 GMT It's that time again, a new season of Siege is on it's way and I'd like to see some new people step into the team captain's role. Last season's captains were:

Kron/Moskva
Chis/Fleece
Termi/Alpha
Cella/Dangerboy
Lotrfan/Uchiha
W4rrior/ChopDrain

A few people have already said they may captain up this season, as far as I know those few are:

Convict
Lotrfan
Zac
Beast aka SK8

This season is estimated to begin on the first weekend of August (August 3rd & 4th), with draft day currently estimated to be on July 28th (The day captains pick their teams).

All of that depends entirely on how signups go in the preseason and dates are subject to change. Basically, for 6 teams we need 80+ signups and for 8 teams we need 100+ signups. This is how it is every season and the current goal is being able to run an 8 team season (consisting of 10 players for each team). Remember if you haven't signed up to go HERE. Now that we've gone through that, back to captaining for this season.

In my opinion, people have this idea that being a captain is a hard thing to do correctly. I would say it's only hard if you make it hard on yourself. Captains are in charge of the following during a season:

1. Drafting a team
2. Naming that team
3. Creating an IRC channel for your team (Admins can practically do this for you and it takes no time at all)
4. Know the rules
5. Get your team to show up

PROTIP #1:
You get what you put into it when you are a captain. If you research the playerbase and make picks according to what you need, you can consistently field a very strong team. For example, if a strong defensive player like myself is going to draft a strong team, I need someone to carry me on the offensive end. Now I definitely wouldn't pick Freeze because I have been smoking that guy lately (sorry breh couldn't resist) but you get the point, I wouldn't want to draft too many defenders when I am already a more defensive minded player, simple. That is the easiest way to draft a team and it allows you to build around your strengths!

PROTIP #2:
Draft players that you know how to communicate with easily. An easy way to find that perfect 4th/5th player is to simply ask players that have signed up if they want to play for you BEFORE your sitting there scratching your head on draft day. Ask people about their availability and where to go to talk to them. Ideally your team's IRC channel is where your team should be. IRC is, in my opinion, the easiest way to keep a team up to date on what's going on. However, some people communicate better with e-mails or private messages on the forums, ask them!

PROTIP #3:
Don't be afraid to ask questions. That's the purpose of threads like these and it's why we have an admin team. I'll do what I can to answer questions and give further tips on captaining as well as other things involving the upcoming season. But you can't get any answers if you don't ask questions!

I hope to see some new captains step up this time around. That's all I've got for you today Siege community, peace. ]]> GU Siege General |uK|Rays http://www.unrealkillers.com/f51/global-siege-newspaper-captain-up-protips-included-omg-3953/ http://www.unrealkillers.com/f51/siege-season-4-signups-3928/ Fri, 07 Jun 2013 21:27:42 GMT I wanted to post link to the signups for the upcoming 2013 Siege season.

It has moved to global unreal (GU) so it won't be called MLSG Season 4

here is the link to signup

Global Unreal

depending on signups it will probably start at end of july or in august

I am getting married in a week so i'm not going to be around to promote or do much until end of July.

Good Luck to everyone that signs up. ]]> GU Siege General TDNConvict http://www.unrealkillers.com/f51/siege-season-4-signups-3928/
