Recap:


[tn]Free had a lot of his clan mates and friends supporting him!

Qualifier 2 was a grassroots style tournament held at E2 Max cineleisure which saw a large turn out of Starcraft 2 players. Among familiar faces were new players participating in their first tournament and their friends who turned up to cheer them on. The results were somewhat expected, with the top 4 seeds of the tournament making up the final top 4. However, what was not expected was the strong performance of the many new faces that participated.

ProAboveMe - a teamless protoss player made a huge impact, knocking top seed FlashDrake down to the loser bracket in round 2 with a 2-0 score shocking everybody. He ended up finishing the tournament in 7-8th place, alongside FlashVeno. Other new names that made an impact were Max, boboGene and [tn]Free who all made it to the final 12, knocking out veteran Singaporean players like Sweet and EveParachute along the way.

The best Singaporean female player Polaris ended up playing her boyfriend in round 2, whom she defeated. She went on to finish the tournament in 5-6th place alongside EveVendetta. The winner's bracket was between Manly and Blysk, which Blysk won convincingly. Later in the loser bracket, ProAnn who always manages to do well in tournaments defeated drake and then Manly in the loser bracket finals in two tightly contested 2-1 games. The Grand Final was close but ultimately Blysk emerged the winner.

It was great to see new blood in the scene and its tournaments like these organised by AsiaSoft and Blizzard that really help grow the scene. Thanks for sponsoring the tournament! For those who did not qualify today, do look out for our next qualifier coming on the 26th May held at Bugis+ Colosseum. Would love to see you all come down again! You can sign up right here!

2 Vetoes from each player, order of vetoes chosen by coin toss.

The rules are standard tournament rules. Only new thing is in the event of a disconnect we can now resume from replay.

+ [Full Rules] +

The tournament head marshal reserves the right at any time to change any of the rules. These rules are essentially just guidelines to follow and we are allowed full flexibility and discretion when running the tournament.

1. Each player must "blind veto" 2 maps from the pool. The vetoed map(s) can never be used in a match. Already played maps or vetoed maps within a match cannot be picked.
2. Before the match starts, there will be a coin toss between the opposing players. The player who wins the coin toss will choose 1 map to veto. The other player will choose 2 maps to veto. Finally the coin toss winner chooses the last map to veto, leaving 3 mains in play. He then choses the map to use for the match. Succeeding games will be alternately chosen by the two players.
3. Players are allowed to bring their own keyboard, muse and headset but no macro functions on keyboards/mouse are allowed to be used in any of the matches.
4. Players are given 5 minutes to setup their peripherals.
5. Players are given 5 minutes to setup their game settings
6. The tournament marshals will inform the participants in which Battle.net server the match will be played.
7. Players must inform their opponent and the marshal of what race they will be using. Players are not allowed to change race once the countdown has started.
8. The game must only be started with the approval of the marshal.
9. The player that completely destroys their opponent's structure or when their opponent surrenders will win the match and advance to the next round.
10. Once a match is over, the marshal must be called over to view the Score Screen for proof of winning the match. Players must not exit the game as the marshals will save the replay of the match.
11. Players who quit a game before it has ended, without the marshal's permission, will automatically lose the game intentional or by accident.
12. Pausing the game
a) If a player must pause the game due to technical difficulties, player must immediately inform the marshal within 2 minutes after the game has started.
b) Games can only be restarted twice. If same problem persists, ask players to move to another pc.
13. In the event of a disconnection, the game will be resumed via the replay feature "Join In" the resumption of a disconnected game shall be monitored by the tournament marshal.
14. In the event of a power outage, accidental uplugging, system freeze or some other events, player must immediately inform the marshal to come and decide the outcome of the match. Marshal's decision will be final.
15. If a player deliberately plays for a stalemate, the marshal holds the right to decide the outcome of the game.
16. No coaching is allowed.
17. Any sign of cheating may result to disqualification.
18. Improper and bad behavior towards other players, marshals or organizers may result in a disqualification.
Bracket placing will be determined using an automatic bracket generator. Challonge.com
19. In the event that the tournament slots are not completed, bracket placing will be adjusted depending on the number of participants.
20. Head Marshal will be responsible to hold fair judgment for any other technical/issues raised during the tournament which are not stated in this rule book. Head Marshal's decision is final.
