Here is our vid, turned out to be our best run at the end:
Words cannot describe how much I hate those sneaky *$%$%%&!!! stunlocking bastards! Controlling the rage within me was the hardest part for this, not nuking the %&$%§$ out of the triple primes on wave 2 is something deeply disturbing.
Also congrats to team spectre nice playing! Although Reegar Kroguard... Scrubs! 
And the results of the round 4 of the N7 section are finally out :
A
And the final results are :
So congratulation to Les connards laqués to win the cup champion of the N7 section :
Thank you again everyone for playing the game, thank you for your particaption !! It was a real pleasure to organize this tournament for this section also, so thank you again !
PS : the surprise is for you too !
Would u put the team composition again ? 
scrubs spotted
Nah, I'd say scrubs are the team that spent two rounds point hunting and not one of them had the idea of putting Armored Compartments on. 
Congrats on the first place, guys and gals!
Here you go, 40 minutes of 3x Reegar Kroguard
What did everyone else use for this?
i m surprised u didnt missiled more W6 and 10 or even W3 as u didnt reach the no score zone?
We chose 1 ranged guys with nade and 2 kroguard. I had trouble wit my 30 fps reegar (no charge reload, no sound for RC) and it seemed i did more damage with the wraith, or maybe not.
Happy to see u had some close calls too : so, how many tries ?
Congrats to The Night Slasher,The Techno Turian and Heldarion for the first place.You boys(and girl) realy deserved it.
girls*
You forgot KateM.
Congrats and I would like to hold this up as an example proving that gamer grills can be bad ass players too 
I assume the other teams are going to make bacon sandwiches for team spectre for winning 
Congrats to Les connards laqués on winning the N7 section of the tournament! 
Special thanks go to AW_FC_1986 who did awesome job trolling and basically finished the last round all by himself.
Marksmad, ex-Clusum, it was super mega fun teaming up with you.
Thanks for organizing this tournament, Etision.
And last but not least, congrats Team Spectre !!

Waves 3 and 6 are terrible for nuking (budget value of enemies is much lower than on 10 and 11).
We went for Shaman/Smashdept/Justicar first, eventually figured out it sucks, tried 2xSmashdept+Justicar, which also sucked, did 2xSmashdept+Shaman, which also sucked, then tried 3xSmashdept, which also sucked. Then I realized we are incapable of farming out objective waves because we rely too much on powers to deal damage. At the same time, we also realized that we can use Vanguards (which wasn't the case originally), and it's a short path from there to realizing that Reegar Kroguard is the most optimal combination for this.
After that we did 1-2 attempts each day for last 4 days, because there's only so much Geth/Plat one can handle in a day.
I wasn't actually paying attention whether we ever reached the no-score zone, but we probably didn't.
hum, did nt take much notice of that, but since you nuked w5 (or 4?) and it s a fixed budget wave, and "wasted" quite a lot of them on w11...Waves 3 and 6 are terrible for nuking (budget value of enemies is much lower than on 10 and 11).
We did ours three evening in a row... pfff, even 2 tries ares sometimes too muchAfter that we did 1-2 attempts each day for last 4 days, because there's only so much Geth/Plat one can handle in a day.
Those were the nukes for the killstreak medal. We took an exception to that, because it's incredibly hard to get killstreaks on this map.
I wasn't actually paying attention whether we ever reached the no-score zone, but we probably didn't.
We did once in w3 at the point when our combined score was ~180k. It was just a short time before we went to complete the objective, I think.
Not that it mattered in the end, because that was our last attempt when you and slasher magically disappeared from my game in wave 6.
So for the thrird challenge of the N7 section here is our screen :
The strategy was quite symple : we had 3 beautiful quarian female infiltrators 
and we just spammed sabotage with every power damage bonus we could get. Since sabotage doesn't provide medals nor points there were several waves where we didn't score points at all! It got difficult near the end because strangely killing a banshee xith just sabotage can take some time

Second in spectre section 
Second in N7 section
Second in the Troll category (N7 section)
How I feel actually
So here is the second place RUN without Armored Compartments.We are very very very very stupid.i just cant believe.But now is too late unfortunately.
I blame Prestacious, because he banned Armored Compartments in every non-solo challenge.

Hi everyone
A small surprise to thank you all for your participation :
See you soon !
Three fat no-dodge turians at that party 
? I'll pour the drinks
Drink all you want........... TheTechnoTurian pays his tour ! 
That is a cool pic. Thank you for organizing this!
Thank you, you're welcome, it was a pleasure ^^
Some advice in case of future tournament organization (all the tips are there because the opposite usually happened):
- Keep all the information about the tournament in the same place, preferably in the first post of the thread (reserve the 2nd/3rd/etc. post if you think you'll need more space) and update those posts as necessary.
- When it comes to information about specific rounds, make sure all the information is for the round is available right from the start. We had to ask for clarifications way more too much in my opinion.
- Avoid stupid and arbitrary rules that make no sense (ban on POV - we've had an argument about it already, but suffice it to say it's a preference choice and not something that gives clear advantage over somebody who doesn't modify his POV). If you want a guideline on what's generally acceptable and what's not, follow BioWare's official policies, which allowed POV modification, modification of coalesced to fix the Talon Mercenary hotkey resetting and pizza running. Under the rules for this tournament, there was the potential for a console team to be able to use Talon Mercenaries without their hotkeys resetting, while a PC team wouldn't have been able to do that, thanks to a senseless arbitrary rule.
The persistent mentioning of "reload cancel is allowed" made me chuckle every time, because reload canceling is in the game by design and universally used by anyone who's good at this game. Let the trolls (and retards who have no clue what they're talking about) who every now and then still, after 3 years, say "reload canceling is cheating" not fool you. It's not.
Also avoid coming up with new rules/changing rules in the middle of a round (modified POV was banned in the middle of the first round for no good reason). Even if you somehow have to, make sure all the participants are on board with the new rule you're introducing. Otherwise it results in unnecessary frustration for players (like redoing the runs they were happy with because a new rule was introduced/a rule changed).
- Score grinds are not fun, period. You're trying to be as inefficient as possible, which is not good even if you're not tryharding. If you want players to grind for something while still retaining the only actual measurable stat of a match's overall quality - time, have players grind for a bunch of specific medals (20 headshots, 75 (gun) kills, etc.), but do not overdo it, because grinding isn't too much fun either, and there's a lot of bugs and weird interactions in the game that can cheat you out of kills for both weapons and combos, unless you gimp yourself in advance.
In the worst case scenario a team with the most time on their hands would be able to win by farming turrets and drones of the last Geth Prime in the wave standing, which is beyond stupid.
- Last of all, your English is not good, and I'm sure you're aware of it and that's absolutely fine. But still, for the sake of clarity, get somebody with excellent English to write down the rules so participants don't have to guess what the hell some rules are supposed to mean.
Most of the stuff I've written above can be seen in Prestacious's challenge threads, and I advise you to look at those to see how the challenges are structured and organized. That's pretty much the standard any other tournament organizer will be held to on BSN.

I gotta say I liked all the graphics created for the tournament. Thank you for organizing the tournament!
well, even if i find score grind a bit stupid, it was challenging and kind of fun. I disagree with farming pets, 25 pts a turret / 800k score ....- Score grinds are not fun, period.

moreover, neither winning team went for full medals as medals are not worse enough. so this was not really a grinding run last week.
Drone and Turret each give 126 points for the kill on Platinum and Prime spawns them with a pretty high frequency.
Neither team went for full medals because you simply cannot... and barely anyone can be bothered to try and grind all the medals on Geth Platinum... or on any difficulty for that matter.
