We are supposed to play on the 3th March and then top 4 plays on the 13th for a 1750 SGD Prize pool. I thought top 4 were supposed to play at a live venue? Everything seems online to me at this point of time. Anyone got more information about this? Revz?

i dont think challenges are counted, people could farm for free wins. they also didnt state what the challenges are for - - ,anyway all u had to do was just logon, check in at the time and dq your opponent for not showing up
I don't know complain will be useful. I contacted them to change my profile name and user which I registered during Singapore TGX which they can't read my doctor handwriting and misspell everything, they ok ok, till no2 it's not changed
I played 0 games too, as shortizz says you just need to play 1 game and you qualify. some of the problems faces by Singapore players
Player X: it has the worst system ever
Player Y: I dont even know how it works. All i did was play 1 game. Den forfeit another one. U guys think I can give up my spot to someone else?
Player X: dunno
Player X: yea and then the whole thing bugged and they didnt give out anymore matches Player X: it was like my opponent and i agree to play another time since both cant make that time then both didnt check in then we played and cant report results coz none of us checked in at that exact time
Player Z: i only played 1 game on it too. well, i didnt even care about it past my first game, so oh well ^_^ Player Z: and.. we agreed on playing another time and we didnt get to report too, we didnt even KNOW how to report LOL
I doubt there will be casting for this... basically its one of the worse run tournaments I've seen for SC2 especially when you consider the prize pool involved. $1,750 SGD is A LOT of money to throw around frivolously like this and the sponsors could have gotten so much more out of this if they found the right people to run it. (For e.g any of the FXO Open tournaments / Malaysian LANs, Dox Cups, SEAL #2 etc all have similar budgets but get WAYYY more exposure and are run well better so players are satisfied and get good vibes from the sponsors)
In fact, I emailed like all their 5 email address on the website a month ago trying to get in contact with the admins so I could help promote it on SC2SEA or get their admin to post news about it consistently so people could follow but received not even a reply, so I really wonder who's in charge. There's no exposure, no reports, no streams, no updates no nothing and sponsor will probably not be happy because basically they will see 0 return and that would result in them to stop sponsoring which is sad.
Oh well GL to everyone playing in this! Hopefully they can learn from this mess I have put together a check list they could use as feedback. This was the biggest SC2 tournament in Singapore / Malaysia we ever had (prize pool wise) and was expecting sooooo much more from this.
Summary Problems with the tournament
Huge Prize Pool, close to zero exposure.
No coverage of results, no streams, no tournament updates.
Top players in the region like iceiceice, timber, westley, sungin, maltiso, jaff not in it.
Match reporting system buggy, can't report games.
Complicated website and tournament system reporting method, hard to navigate and use.
Players don't know the rules and format and/or its not stated clearly.
Nobody knows who is organizing it and admins are not visible.
Website emails unresponsive, admin / referee support non-existent
