SEA FIGHT CLUB

Ok so heres the idea, we start our own SEA version of IPL fight club, The prize would be something small like this first week il donate $10nzd to the challenge of say myself playing Light for the protoss title of God of PvP. Basically a Bo7 every lets say Thursday (or whenever) to challenge the champ. The champ would have to accept a challenge from the people who apply to be the challenger every week. People who have challenged within the last 6 months wouldn't be allowed to challenge again. People who show BM would also be stripped of title etc etc.

Pretty much I'm throwing this idea out there to give us another event or another opportunity to improve the skill level within our community. Now I'm writing this at 2:40am in the morning after I finished my study and can't sleep because this idea is keeping me awake so I'll make the thread look pretty tomorrow.

This would also give casters something else to cast on a side note. If you have any thought or anything to add at all to this idea or if your keen for this just throw a comment in the thread and lets gets this ball rolling.

On a side note I call iM's Light as the Champion at this point in time as he won the last SEA fight and I'll call put my name down for a contender here aswell.

also other forms of competition in the thread are encouraged too as many people have had ideas
Peace Stally

its always talk about fight club

[neKo]

I think have like 2 guys dedicated to finding people for sea wars just so it's not based on "oh I'll step up and play i guess" but this would be pretty sick I look forward to seeing it

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves here...

Did you ever play mortal kombat? You know how you go up a list of increasingly harder opponents?
Well I thought we could have something similar but with sc2 and players

Basically people interested register and somehow we come up with a list with the strongest players like light, mafia and pig at the top as "bosses" and try to give all registered players a spot in the list*
Maybe the bosses can decide this or a seedings tournament - both could potentially be interesting from spectators pov as it could be made part of the ongoing story of the event (boss players / casters could have hype or reveal videos for seedings etc)

Generally follow a format of player below plays player above and winner continues
However I think its important to reward players who get several wins in a row as well as allow people knocked out some kind of opportunity to get back in.

Say player AwesomeNuts won 5 weeks in a row but then loses on the sixth...
I'm not sure how to do this while keeping it interesting and exciting for viewers (the guy who got the five win streak is going to challenge again) and fair to players so if you have ideas

Can do bo1 mini tournaments if there are several new people or people knocked out prior (with no wins) wanting to be added in then winner of that, that week's challenger and last week's winner (this is assuming one per week) can do a round robin to see who goes foward or to see who plays in the bo7 to see who goes forward
Sorry if it doesn't make sense i'm just spitballing here ^^: Help me out on specific rules if you like this idea

But I at least feel this kind of format has a lot of potential to get viewers and players excited and giving lesser known players a chance to earn some recognition.

I feel that prizes aren't necessary at this point too

*biggest obstacle could be that some people may get upset at their position initially - I wish it were so but yeah. It would need all players to come in with a positive attitude generally though some friendly banter would be good for entertainment value

[mirth]

is this going to end up that stallion is light? and we blow up sydney?

[Zealo]

i like the idea

only change i would like to see from format described in OP is rather than the champion choosing their next opponent each week (which could be abused)

a) have someone (you would be a logical choice, if you're donating the weekly prize) designated to choose the next challenger based on some criteria (who they think will attract the most views, who they think has the best chance of winning, other?)

or

b) have the eligible applicants names placed in a poll, winner based on voting gets to play

both these methods solve the issue of who plays the first week or if a champion can't/won't play one week (and therefore forfeits his/her title)

also 6 months seems like a massive time to ban people from challenging again if this is being run weekly, i guess it depends how many people are interested each week.

I also like this idea. I just worry that we see the popular 'top' players all come up first so you end up with the last surviving one of these just beating up on the lesser known challengers who don't get the votes at first. Maybe the format can be tweaked if other people think it's an issue.

something I was thinking of was having a match between 2 players for the right to be challenger the night before so more exposure happens from it. The other alternative is I could make a selection team of say myself Maynarde and one other (this is just me spit balling) so that this doesn happen and would avoid the same match up week in week out

Or Or we can have a Pokemon Gym Leader System

NSW- Ninja
QLD- KingKong
VIC- deth
Singapore- ProAnnn
Thailand- RedArchon
Philippines- Stellar
NZ (North Island)- Petraeus
NZ (South Island)- Stallion
Elite 4- Mafia, PiG, tgun, Light
Champion- mOOnGLaDe

We can have more than 8 gyms too e.g.

Vietnam- ThuoClao

[3:00:51 a.m.] some: its simple
[3:00:55 a.m.] smart: invite someone every week
[3:01:13 a.m.] guy: and use it as a entry ponit for newer casters
[3:01:18 a.m.] who owns: like rotate casters evrery week
[3:01:28 a.m.] an axe: challengers can be a list or invite based on a completely arbitrary system

[LaughingMan]

I would love to play, or cast don't really mind.
