[Pandaria] [Event] 3rd Celestial Fist Tournament

The 30th is the absolute lastest day we will accept sign-ups, so if you for some reason aren’t on the sign-up list, I strongly suggest you read the OP thoroughly. There you will find the rules, the brackets, time, date, location, and of course the list of participants.

I will be posting a screenshot of the actual location for clarification this weekend.

Spectators and participating monks should pay close attention to the screenshots below, as they detail the event venue. We tried our darndest to make this work without any immersion-breaking elements and this is the result!

As a final reminder, you have until the 30th to register your monks! :clap:
Understand that we cannot take registrations on the spot as they will only serve to stretch the event, which is in absolutely none of the spectators’ interest!

Remember, without spectators you would have almost nobody to spectate your fighting and stand at awe!

Lastly, go dig into some more kung-fu flicks! There is a certain standard of emotes we’re expecting to see and we’re looking forward to you exceeding our, the audience’s, and your opponents’ expectations!

Ta much!

We’re undergoing final preparations but the roster still has room for people! In particular we’d die to see three more novices and one more intermediate sign up for a perfect roster of 8 in all brackets!

But, of course, any sign-ups are a welcome sight!

Thankfully, the Tiger Mafia have not signed up, so we should be safe.

Two more days! Sadly Thieseli had to step out for IRL reason but we got a novice bracket sign-up in return!

Here’s the current list. If you’re supposed to be on it but aren’t, that’s because you haven’t signed up yet!

Unfortunately, Kuzon has been forced to drop out. We’d love to see someone step up to the challenge of the intermediate bracket and more for the novice bracket. Don’t be afraid of partaking, we all revel in the competition and display of martial prowess :slight_smile:

This is the very last day we take sign-ups on! The above list is very much up-to-date save for Kuzon, he sadly had to drop out :frowning:

Last chance to sign up!

If anyone has any cluster launchers, please feel free to COD these to myself, I’ll pay a good price. I won’t need tonnes, but a good handful would certainly be great, both for this event and any future undertakings.

So soon! We look forward to see everyone there!

Edit: Also, if any competitors have yet to join the Discord, we highly encourage that you do, for ease of communication.

A sign-up slipped under my radar but it’s older than the deadline so Xinyu Cryopaw will be participating in the intermediate bracket as well! And Kuzon can make it after all so that would put us at 10.

The crowds are gathering!

Thus we conclude the Third Celestial Fist Tournaments!

After renaming the tournament like over nine thousand times I strongly apologize and promise you that this is the ultimate name of the tournament :pray:

That being said! I’d like to thank Gongsun, Thanguron and Grimfist for stepping up as referees of the masters, intermediates and novice brackets, and Krasarang for helping things run along smoothly! Furthermore, the fireworks were AMAZING! :fireworks:

Valaatu has been taking snaps and lots of them! (47 to be exact) - we’ll be publishing those soon, very soon!

I’d also like to thank Uldum Spice Guy Whose Name We Pandaren Can’t Pronounce Because You Foreigners Have Weird Names for setting up a stall and selling foreign perfumes, bathing items and literally anything but food!
And I apologize to the gnome whose name I can’t remember but it spelled something like Lievre for selling food!

To all the participants out there, you’ve done a wonderful job with the emotes, but I also know you can do better! I’d like to especially applaud Erithur, Jakoz, Norwind, Droople, Zalthan, Mao Siniang and Poau for their beautiful and at times mind-blowing emotes! I’m sad to say I didn’t get to see the others, but the referees have forwarded me nothing but praise, and I encourage monk RPers to freely express their characters in every fiber of their being, the way they fight, behave, laugh, cry and drink! :grin:

The Champions of the Third Celestial Tournament have been declared!

Novice - The Champion of the West Wind has been declared! Jakoz Markovic has received a medal and a set of onyx prayer beads, said to strengthen a warrior’s resolve when the judgemnet of mind is clouded by fear!
Intermediate - The Champion of the West Wind has been declared! Norwind Sparkspinner has received a medal and a Black Fan of the Bandit Princess, rumored to have been stolen by the hozen bandit princess known as Fu Fu the Fearless! The Black Fan’s sturdiness, or perhaps her own, allowed her to conduct raids and defend from assailants alike without a single casualty, save one day her own. Its trillium shell is sturdy but its true strength is said to be derived from the spirit of its wielder and their will to protect those dearest to them until the very end!
Master - The Champion of the West Wind has been declared! Poau has received a medal and a Belt of the Fearless, said to have been imbued with the essence of a fearless master of the Way of the Black Ox! In darkest times, its wearer may become a saviour manifest!

The next tournament will be held at the Temple of the White Tiger this Winter! Beware that due to phasing issues we may have to ask spectators and participants alike to be level 83+ simply because it’s the best solution! We’re currently working on a plan B in case we’ve miscalculated and a certain daily pops up and turns all of us 90+ people into sad pandas :panda_face:

I’d like to thank all the spectators for showing up and hope you’ve enjoyed the tournament as much as we did!

I for one am super grateful to everybody who made it! :pray:

We hope to see you at the next tournament, and remember to leave ALL THE FEEDBACK here or in the discord!

Lastly, if you’d like to stay up-to-date or volunteer to co-organize or be a referee in the next tournament this Winter, do join the discord linked in the original post at the very top of this thread!

P.S.: There is a community of monks beginning to form in the very same discord. Hot tip! :panda_face:
