Yeap i know its really impromptu but with the high demand and lack of my free time next week i've decided that the KOF#1 will start today. As its our first day, it will also be kinda a trial run so we will only have a max of 8 teams today so sign up quick! However we will follow the same format as the COs and the winning team will qualify into the semis/ro8 of the final tourney at the end of the month with a >$100 prizepool.
Date/Time:
Friday(today!) 29th of April, 2011 - 6pm SGT, 8pm Sydney Battle.net Chat-Channel:
"sc2seaKOF". Livestream: http://www.justin.tv/kellymilkies
KOF stands for King of Fighters, a popular arcade game where you select 3 characters in a team. In this format, if your character defeats the other teams character, your same character will continue fighting until the other team is defeated or your character losses.
Basically we have carried this format into Starcraft 2. So you make an awesome team of 3 with your favourite players/practise buddies. You choose a default starter for all rounds and all matches are 1v1, bo1. The starters play each other and the winner stays and continues to play a member of the opponents team of their choosing not yet defeated, until there are no players left. Very similar to the GTSL.
It makes for some tense moments, clutch players with all kills and reverse all kills, etc. Theres also a tactical element where the team of the losing player can choose a player who is strong against the current winner, ie sniping based on race or map. So since there are 3 players in each time it basically it turns every round into a bo5, as a team needs to elminate the other team (3 wins) to move foward.
Back in the beta, our "Team AU" team comprising of filthy, nirvAnA and moonglade even knocked out teams like EG, and Fnatic. We got all killed by idra tho haha!
