+ [Tournament information] +

Date: June 25, 2011 - 10am opening/warmup/setting up/registration etc, 11am start time. You're more than welcome to come before hand to get some extra practice in, I'll be there from early in the morning.
Location: Arena Internet Cafe, 264-268 Rundle Street, Adelaide SA 5000 (in between Al Fresco and Piatto)
Entry fee: $15 (spectating is free of course)

The tournament will be played on the South East Asia (SEA) server.

The tournament will be a double elimination bracket, with all matches being Best of 3 and the Grand Final being Best of 5.

The map pool will be: Xel'Naga Caverns, Shakuras Plateau, Terminus SE, Metalopolis, Tal'Darim Altar LE (All ESL version, type "ESL" into Create Game search bar to find)

Each player will veto one map each, and will then pick from the remaining maps for the starting map. The loser picks the next map from the two remaining.

Prizes

1st place: $200
2nd place: $100
3rd place: Choice of Tt headset, keyboard or mouse+mousepad.

And a huge thankyou to Dox for donating $100 for the prize pool

We will also be raffling off other items throughout the day, so those who were knocked out early are still able to win some prizes!

Registration

To register, you can do either:

A) Post in this thread with your SEA name and character code (Name.###), race/league would also be helpful

B) Email your SEA name and character code (Name.###) to marconofrio1@gmail.com

C) Arrive on the day before 11am and register. If you arrive after 11am you won't be able to join.

Other information

Players will be allowed to bring their own mouse, keyboard and mousepad. The computers are more than capable of running StarCraft II at it's highest settings. The monitors are very large (27"), but it may be possible to use smaller monitors if required.

There will be at least 20 PCs dedicated to running the tournament, players will need to report their results immediately once they are finished and they will be told to either pack up for someone else to use the PC or to stay to play another game. We are aiming for as little downtime as possible, so this is imperative to the smooth running of the tournament.

If you have any inquiries please post in this thread, email me at marconofrio1@gmail.com, or message me in game at FXOfrequency.299 (NA and SEA)

... quite literaly, i must say.

[frequency]

Finalised list of prizes should be posted soon.

[Synizta]

Oh oh, if theres GSL on again that day, we going to have computers showing it again if possible?

[frequency]

Oh wow, GSL finals is on that day.

I'll see what I can arrange now.

[Bielsko]

sign me up. Should play it on the SEA server tho, the maps are easily transferred and the ping is a lot better

[frequency]

I'm going in tomorrow to figure out how we're going to do the GSL viewing (95% happening). Probably going to set up the screen downstairs but then audio is a problem. If not that I want to have a sort of viewing area upstairs with some speakers. Not sure yet, but if anyone wants to come to see the venue/meet me (cos I'm a fkn bawwwws) and play some games you're more than welcome.

I've also updated the OP with the extra money for first place. No official word yet for other prizes (T_T).

why not just get the train in with ur FXO shirt? ahah! XD

[frequency]

Please let everyone in Adelaide know about this! We've only got 14 sign ups, we had 32 last time, come on!

[frequency]

UPDATE: The tournament has been pushed back a week to the 25th of June. Sorry for the inconvenience, but some things are beyond my control.

The prizes, schedule and format will remain the same.

[TAkrunch]

SICK, i will actually be able to attend, I was gonna pull out of the tournament but i should be able to make the 25th. good change frequency =)

[MetricforMayor]

Metric.505

Count me in!

[eCKo`Tazerenix]

Hmm, the date change has thrown me off a bit, i'll see if i can get tennis off for it :O

[TAkrunch]

Will this still be played on NA, i believe maps without the close spots have become available on SEA? or was there other reasons for playing it on NA?

[Fooky]

Are all events planned going to be hosted on saturday afternoons? I always have work at that time

[Raithen]

NA: Raithen.493 Zerg
SEA: Raithen.621

Everyone say hi, ill be the aussie sounding asian in the leather gracket, i might even dig up my gold work name badge for this.

Cheers

[Sera]

Darn, rescheduled to a Saturday? Dammit, I wish I could go and stare creepily at you guys, but alas, I'm always busy then. :'c

[frequency]

Ok guys, quick survey: Do you want the tournament on SEA or NA? With the introduction of the ESL Asia Go4SC2 tournament, the balanced maps are now on SEA, so it's fine to play there. The lag from Arena is more or less the same to both servers, so it's the players pick.

[TAEdgE]

SEA please.
