SC2SEA.com - Starcraft 2 SEA eSports Community Site

Season 2 of WCS is just around the corner, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to round up the community for a light-hearted and fun competition.

WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?

We've got a nice tight-knit community here in Australia, NZ and around South East Asia. While many of us do our best to retweet and share things to try and help the community out, I feel like we can do just a bit more. The places that are likely to have more gamers are the schools, universities and other similar public spaces where avid gamers are more abundant. Taking a look at Sydney Collegiate Society, they had 85 people turn up to a LAN just the other day! Imagine what other places in Australia, NZ and the rest of SEA can create?

So here is my call to arms....

HOW TO BE #DEDICATED

1. Download this flyer and print at A4 or A3 (can be b & w, but colour preferable)

+ [See the flyer] +

2. Take a video or a photograph of yourself putting it up in a public space

3. Upload and link to this thread

4. Best video or photo wins the most #dedicated award

At the moment there are no prizes, however, if I get over 50 entries in this thread I will happily give away a signed Intel shirt from IEM Singapore 2013. This item of clothing contains the pen pressings of such names as CJ herO (winner of the tournament), Grubby, IM Squirtle, CJ Effort, amongst others.

+ [See the signed shirt from IEM Singapore 2013!] +

Without further ado, here is the first entry from x5 PiG:

IN CONCLUSION

I would love for all of you to get involved, if only to have some fun and/or to poke fun at others :P

GOSH PiG YOU SILLY BILLY IN THAT HAT

I'm well aware that this may not draw many people (or any) in but to be honest, I would be quite happy if even one person became a part of our community as a result of this. Can't hurt to try

Sign up to the qualifiers! http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=8346

Awesome idea!

Is the flyer prizepool correct though?

According to the WCS Qualifier thread:

Quote:

The competing Players in the Round of 16 receive a share in the $2,500 prize pool as follows:

1st place - $600
2nd place - $400
3rd place - $350
4th place - $300
5th/6th place - $250
7th/8th place - $175

I... err... embellished it a little to include the Challenger money ($600US) as well :P

Hope that's not too misleading, as all players end up getting the extra money if they qualify for Challenger League.

Though I've just realised only 2 people get through this time, not three. So yes I am incorrect with the Third placing prize money :S

Edited.

I'd suggest producing something a little bit less ink abusive.

Great idea tho, glglgl!!

Everyone is welcome to print whatever they like, as long as it promotes the WCS Qualifiers

That would be cool

.

This whole thing was Dot's idea and at first I was a bit shy/thought it was a bit lame.Then I realised that it's really just trying to remind us to be proud of what we love. So many nerds are unashamedly sharing, tweeting and posting online about gaming competitions they love, but we so rarely feel comfortable doing it in real life.

I hope that this inspires just a few of us to feel more comfortable telling our friends, family and colleagues about spending the weekend staying up all night to watch Dreamhack, or how we drove interstate to play in a competition or even invite them to a barcraft! Also if some posters get stuck up at net cafes, train stations and school and University billboards, then hells yeah!

In case people are at a lost as to where to put these flyers, here's a quick brainstorm courtesy of Maynarde:

- PC bangs
- nerd clothing places
- independent game stores
- indie cinemas
- GameTraders
- not EB

There's also schools, unis, tafes, beaches, bars, libraries, train stations, bus stops, IT-related uni lectures, etc
