The tournament will kick off on Saturday November 29 at MC Internet Cafe 2 with entry at $25 per player. Entry covers computer usage for the day, prize pool, prizes and access to the StarCraft 2 and Hearthstone tournaments.
The main event will be a Double Elimination Tournament format where all rounds are a Best of 3 until the finals. The Third Place Play-off & Grand Final will be a Best of 5.
Cash prizes will be paid out to the top four and the winner will also walk away with the Domination Cup trophy to commemorate the victory. Those who don’t make the top four will be eligible for random prize draws from our sponsors.
But the fun doesn't stop there as we will be also running a casual Hearthstone tournament for all tournament players as well. This will be a basic deck, Best of 1 tournament with some Blizzard Loot up for grabs. Entry is included with the SC2 tournament entry.
We would love to make this a premier tournament ($1000+ prize pool) and are hoping those who can spare a few dollars here and there to donate to the prize pool.
Total Prize Pool: $1400+
Spectators are welcome to join us at MC Internet Cafe, so come down and say ‘Hi!’. If you can’t make it to the LAN itself, we will be casting the action live on twitch.tv/SiliconSports with Insano casting the action with special guests through out the day.

The intention for the Hearthstone tourney is to make it quite casual - no constructed decks that you would use on ladder or arena. Just using what ever cards you have unlocked for that class. But, if people want to play constructed decks then that can be done only if both players agree. Regardless its still meant to be fun and a good way to interact with others during the day.
I would love to have my face smashed in, playing some hearthstone, but I would just be cannon fodder If i played sc2.
Would I need to pay the $25 to do so? Or would some other arrangement be made?
Regardless, I'll show up for my first LAN and support the players on the day!
For the Hearthstone tournament - the issue is that the entry ticket covers the users PC use for the day as its not a BYOD (bring your own device) tournament. I'll see what can be done in this regard with the venue as it might just be a small fee to use a PC or wireless access for your iPad/laptop (so you can at least get the fireside card back if you don't already).
This is limited to 32 players and we'd love to have the best field possible for our final event of the year duking it out to claim the cup.
This is going to be hotly contested tournament with Uni exams finished and everyone praccing hard. Its hard to say who will lift the trophy at this stage.
MightyKiwi is flying in from NZ to steal it from the Aussies and interstate raiders will also be looking to flex their muscle. I am sure local heroes,
Pezz, RivaL and others will be keen to see the Domination Cup stay in Melbourne (including myself).
Quick update - seeds will be based on the OSC rankings on the day - I believe this is the fairest way to handle seeds. However, I am open to suggestions.
All the spots not being filled immediately given how much complaining there was over lack of ACL Melbourne is weird. C'mon guys. Come hang out with the Burgerman.
