Team SCN i need abit of background information of your clan. when was it started, webpage, leaders etc.

the china flag can be made by typing "i-China" without the dash and submitting.

To be fair to all teams, the teams that have signed up for week 1 again cannot sign up and play in week 2. Alot of teams have asked to try again but please understand we cannot accommodate everyone as we want to give every SEA clan at least one chance to participate rather than none because a team ended up playing twice. Particularly unfortunate was pRodigy who missed Cobo and had a very ill timber play today, but i have to be fair and there is nothing i can do. The competition is very stacked at the moment and look set for a really strong Ro8 quarter finals.

Rest assured everyone will have their chance to participate again perhaps next season. Right now what you can look forward to is our SEASL season 2 open qualifiers starting soon after the SEACL which will be 1v1.

Team EVE wins #1 spot
The wildcard spot will probably be given to team pinoy who finished #2 in this tourney (unless there is a stronger runner-up team next week)

Week 2's winner will take the last spot.

I can attest to the existence and strength of clan "SCN". They are certainly worthy of this tournament skill-wise ^^

I would like to urge the moderators of sc2sea to unban rlsZanooku from participating in this tourney. Seriosly, this is really a waste if he doesn't get to chance to play. He's our leader and one of the founders and those people who really know him will acknowlegde that he's a nice person and a great partner partner who contributed my success in getting into the grandmaster league

Zanooku was banned for a reason Milionaire. He is immature and behaves like a troll. I do 'really know him,' and if he is unbanned he will just repeat his past atrocities. After being a 'friend' on battle.net and practising regularly with him it's safe to say that I do know him, and that he treats his fellow gamers with no respect whatsoever.
I recently spoke to him regarding whether he shows any remorse for his past actions or the will to change his attitude. Naturally, I received a troll answer.

For the wild card, would it not be more fair for the second place of each qualifier to fight it out?

That is the team that came second from the #1 play the team that came second from #2. Otherwise, its more of an arbitary pick and there really isn't transparency or logic in picking the wild card. Otherwise, the decision is up for ridicule and arguments for bias and prejudice, etc etc can be made.

My logic for the picking of the wild card is because, this isnt really an invitational, and more like a round robing type tournie in my view.

Just a suggestion.

Haha?

Zanooku, from the sounds of it, is ONLY a nice person to you guys. Why does he deserve to play in this tournament if he is banned because he is extremely offensive, rude, cries about imbalance, and is in general a troll? IdrA doesn't go into every ladder game and purposely shit talk his opponent to make himself feel better. IdrA may complain and get annoyed but holy shit have you even read what Zanooku says?

Trolls try to invoke a response, so a response of banning him is cruel yet oh so satisfying.

Hey Myth, thanks for your feedback. i agree that might be fairer but only IF the brackets were both equal for both qualifiers. With the difference in strength of teams and the randomness of the random drawing, it makes more sense to be flexible with our wild card choice, while at the same time giving unquestionable "earned" spots to the winning team each week. Although our wildcard decision might seem arbitrary - please note that it is unbiased and made in the best interests of the tournament.

As of now it looks like the first bracket was harder than the second one so it only makes sense to pick the wildcard from there. The "wild card" gives who we think have the next best shot although they didn't win. kinda like American idol and when they don't make it into the top 2 in the group stages, clay Aiken etc.

As for the Zanooku issue, yes from his past actions he has proven to be someone we do not wish in our community who could put the tournament at risk in credibility so its something we cannot allow. He was banned from sc2sea, multiple times with multiple accounts then IP banned after been given many many warnings. Hes banned from the bnet fourms and all the popular streams too so hey theres definitely something seriously wrong that would make all the mods/admins from various sites do this. He needs to take a step back and reflect and then change his behaviour - presently he does not see wrong in his actions or is too proud to acknowledge the error of his ways thats why his behaviour continues to persist and the moment he recognises his behaviour is wrong and should be corrected he will change into a better person.

Reputation is so important especially in small communities. But i am not a totally unforgiving person, I have talked to him about this and have told him that the moment he proves that he has changed his attitude and ways he "might" be allowed to participate in our FUTURE tournaments, like SEASL 2 etc depending on what the general consensus from our admins is about him then, so the ball is in his court now. It is a deep hole he has dug for himself but not totally impossible to get out off.

1. crux

So when is this on? hahaha sorry could we get a dates section in the first post please

Thanks!

[nirvAnA]

richard, TA will only be allowed to join again if

1) no other team signs up by friday or if one of the signed up teams fail to confirm their attendance.
2) does not have the same players who were listed in TA lite

This is to be fair to the other teams who were not allowed to sign up again and to be fair to other clans as we will allow a max 2 entries per clan each season - we have already made this exception specially for the bigger clans.

Current Week 2 teams:

1. crux (confirmed)
2. gD (confirmed)
3. nDLgaming (confirmed)
4. kiwi (confirmed)
5. SFCN
6. EveTS
7. eXtremist (confirmed)

If the other team leaders do not confirm by replying to my PM by tomorrow night their team will be replaced.
If team leaders don't make the effort to log in and stay updated to the website how will i be able to depend on you during the quarter final round?
If you can't PM because of insufficient posts leave me a visitor message.

Tournament dates for Ro8 will be out tomorrow.

*gets ready for a bit of TA rage*

Nah it's cool. Yeah I was thinking about putting the team in a few days ago but thought that having tree teams was a little too many so I held off on it. Then I saw that no other team put in a lineup so I figured I'd just submit one to fill up the 8th spot.


We'll be online on the Friday to fill up the 8th spot if no other team goes for it and if there are any no shows we'll be happy to fill in for them.



Cheers,


ps. The 3rd lineup has no players from TA Lite

sounds good mate :)

[myth_au]

i am confused o.O

I thought TA was already given a spot (qualified), sorta like invitational, along with the other 3 teams.

And i also thought i read a post before where TA played in the qualifer 1. Have i missed something in the rules? Sorry for my noobish questions.

Just a general comment, and this is not directed at TA or any other large clan (so pleaseeeee don't take it the wrong way), if we let a clan compete more than once doesn't that defeat the purpose of a clan war?! I understand there are large clans out there (hell i think Ngen is also quite large), but what if, hypothetically speaking, TA was the only team in the finals, because they have two teams competing, that to me just seems wrong (or is it just me?).

The reason for my comment is large clan’s usually have inter clan tournaments or seeding, to figure out which team members gets to play. I know this was part of our clan (we have like 15 members and we had to be selective). This firstly motivates players to do well and also ensures that this isn’t a free for all competition, and is really a team battle.

I highly doubt GSTL would let any of their teams get double dips and increase the chance of winning. It is contrary to the whole purpose of the competition.

In saying so, in respective of qualifiers, I don’t object to a team getting two goes, provided there is a free space, because until they qualify the team really is not in the competition (if that makes sense).

Just my thoughts.
