had an awesome time first time in a tournament and it was a blast, people were kind and everyone was so helpful, the tips were very useful and i defiantly enjoyed myself
Hey sorry guys was gonna do a big write up to finish this part, but its really late and iv been up since 5 am doing non stop on the go today so abit too tired to do it now, but will try and get it done nice and early in the morning.
But will quickly say that it was awesome fun running this. And look foward to seeing all the participants again in the mGG chat channel in game (search: mGG) and on sc2sea.com
Just a reminder if every participant from tonight wants to put in up to 2 replays (dont have to be from tonights games) that they want some help with by high level players then post them here. A tip is dont find games that you play awesome and kick ass. find games that u found really difficult and challanging, will get more help out of it that way. PLEASE be patient, might take some time to get back to you with the analysis, cause we are busy busy busy, but we will get onto it when we can.,

So let me start off with a HUGE thank you to everyone who participated, helped admin and those who watched the stream. Last night went down very well (after some delays at the very start) and its all thanks to you guys. It was great to see how enthusiastic all the players who came to participate were, and how excited (and nervous :P) they were. We did our best rotating the stream to make sure each player could have a turn having their game casted, which I believe we did successful (though I apologize if any one did miss out). You can find the Vods for the tournament here:
Unfortunately (as with any tourney) not all the players who signed up did show, but we did still manage to get a good showing of players leading to 2 groups of 4. All of the players were great at getting their games done on time and reporting their results to the Admins. So a big well done and thank you to the players for being very efficient and the AMAZING help that DrGooSe and I received from yuu and Taeyang.
As the night went on we were all able to have a lot of fun. We got to watch mGGPow and xWhiteDragon with their impressive macro, got to see whacky unit compositions such as Irishboi’s Marine Hellion Banshee play (mid/late game unit comp…. Don’t forget those gasses at your natural bud ) watching dance offs between Straife and WickedAl (sorry AL but you may have won the game, but Straife won the Dance off) and of course plays so revolutionary and extraordinary that it is sure to change the meta game as we know it……… The Straife Steal!
Ohh.. you sir are a genius , Might be 2 supply down already but that was pure sex appeal right there
Lastly to wrap up night 1 of the bronze only tourney we had a surprise visit from none other than our awesome sponsor VroomVroomVroom, who came along to watch and cheer on the competitors. VroomVroomVroom even announced that they would like to put in $20 dollars to the final winner of the tournament so a big shout out to them and a big thank you, for support these developing players. Be sure to check out their website at http://www.vroomvroomvroom.com.au/ and even leave them a message on twitter @CarRental to show them some support for supporting us
Also a reminder that all players who participated in the tournament tonight can post up to 2 replays that will be watched and analysed by a higher league player. Please be patient with this cause many of our players do live very busy lives, and will be giving up their free time for this service.
xWhiteDragon takes 1st place in group B winning all his matches. mGGPow takes 2nd place in group B. Both players will move onto brackets.
Sudden Death Tie Breaker
So our original idea was that we would be doing Group stages, then the top 2 players from each group would move on to a bracket that we will run another night. HOWEVER, Group A ended up ending in a 3 way tie. With Braxeo > Philo >Irishboi > Braxeo and all of them overcoming Jet. So this has lead us to the descsion that before we begin the brackets, we will have a sudden death round for these 3 players.
The way this will work is each player will be given a spot, A B or C. these 3 players with each play each other in a Bo1:
A v B
B v C
C v A
First player to win 2 games in a round will gain the number 1 spot for Group A. Then the winner of the match that did not include that player will gain spot number 2.
E.g.:
A v B - A wins
B v C - C wins
C v A - A wins
Players A and C will move on with player A taking 1st, and player C taking 2nd.
If another 3 way tie occurs we shall start again until the 2 games have been won (in a round).
We would like to run this Sudden death round tomorrow night (Tuesday the 15th of January 2013), at the same time as last night’s competition : 5 pm SG, 7 pm QLD, 8 pm NSW/Vic on the SEA server. But this time will need to be confirmed with the players to make sure all three of them can attend.
Once the 2 players from Group A have been selected we may move onto the final stage of this tournament, the finals brackets, where the players will play their best to win the final prize.
GL and HF!
IMPORANT NOTE: All players in the Sudden death round and Finals brackets have all already qualified as bronze players. So you may (and we encourage it as good practice) ladder freely and win games on ladder. If you get promoted to Silver before the completion of this tournament you will NOT be disqualified because you were a bronze player when it began. So go ladder plenty and get lots of practice for the finals.
I'll definitely be there. No time to practice between now and then unfortunately, but I'll do my best. Even if I don't get through, I had a blast!!!! Playing Braxeo was a learning experience for me to get my FFE up faster, and playing irishboi was some of the most fun I've had in ages.
Jet's games had my heart racing and while unfortunately he didn't win any games, I hope he sticks around in mGG cause he was a fantastic opponent
Just a reminder that the Sudden Death round is on tonight.
Stream will be on at : twitch.tv/colin2100
Can players please be in the channel mGG Bronze Tourney 10 mins before starting time to make sure that we are all clear and avoid delays like last time :P
In regards to the final brackets for the Bronze Tournament, i been told by Alpha he was thinking of doing it on Thursday or Friday. I probable won't make it on Friday as i will probable be going out with my partner for the afternoon and probable evening as well.
For Thursday, I can make it, but since my dad returns from overseas, my dinner routine will return back to normal. But since Thursday happens to be a night i dont have to wash the dishes i should finish dinner between 8:30pm to 9pm AEST. I know its late, but that my family...lol
Well keep me informed of the plan and times for the Final matches for the tournament.
Oh will the final matches of the tournament will work? Let us know as well.
I guess if any plan changes i'll let you know. So sorry Alpha and Goose...for not giving you concrete times about the final matches for the tournament I would like to.

Ahhhhh what a night, what a night. Last night we saw the 3 players who Tied for first place in their group stages face off in a Sudden Death Round, to determine who would come out with 1st and 2nd place of their group and move onto the final stage of the tournament. These 3 players were
Irishboi
Braxeo
Philosopher
These players faced off Best of 1's against each other to find the nights winners.
The game order going:
Irishboi vs Braxeo
Irishboi vs Philosopher
Braxeo vs Philosopher
After some delays with mix up on starting times we began the first round began. With each player only needing to win 2 games to secure 1st place, and 1 game to get 2nd place, pressure was on with each game counting.
(Funnily enough the same order that their group stage games went on Wednesday)
Another round of Bo1s were done.
With Irishboi once again being able to overcome Braxeo with a strong marine maruder hellion timing. Philosopher was able to take his game agaisnt Irishboi with a well chosen Dark Templar expand. And after an epic 40 min final game to the night, Philosopher was able to take the PvZ against Braxeo, Defeating Braxeos BL army through the use of constant counter attacks destroying Braxeos ecom.
With that the finals scores of the night Ended with Philosopher coming 1st with victories over both Irishboi and Braxeo, and Irishboi coming in 2nd.
A big congrats to Philosopher and Irish for moving onto the next stage of the comp, and to Braxeo, a very close third (with as we said yet ANOTHER tie in the first round of the Sudden death.)
Finals Bracket:
Prize: mGG sponsors VroomVroomVroom have offered to put in $20 dollars for the winner. Please feel free to Tweet Vroom at and Thank them for their support @CarRental.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: We encourage all the participants to practice and ladder as much as possible coming up to the finals. Do not worry if you get promoted (big congrats if you do ) you will still be able to participate in this tournament.

Nice the Final Bracket is Up and this is on Sunday at 2:30pm!
Can't wait for the Semis and the Finals as well, Hopefully, i will reach the final and maybe take i out to win the Tournament...hehe
So the Semis and the Finals work on the: single elimination style? where we only play one game and whoever wins moves to the finals? and than whoever wins one game of the Final, win the Tournament?
Good Luck to Irishboi, Philosopher and mGGPow! Have Fun!
