Quake live (quake 3) (free)
Counter-strike 1.6 (clans vs clans, im sure every major clan could scrum together 5 players, and for a bit of smack talk, im 100% TA would absolutely rhomp all of you, lol) (Everyone and their mother has 1.6, if not its like $10, lol)
DotA (clans vs clans again) (again, free if you have WC3:TFT, which the other comp assumes u have! Otherwise can easily play over hamachi etc.)
IMO no more old school RTS other than sc:bw and wc3:tft, lets branch out to other genres yo!
Also, just a suggestion (obviously wouldn't include the racewars part since it will be people from every clan in that), why not do it like the olympics (It will actually fall very close to the olympics too)? IE: everybody represents there clans in everything (both the clan vs clans and the 1v1 games), add up medal tallies, and see which clan wins at the end?
eg:
1st/2nd/3rd individual places for WC3 get gold/silver/bronze for their clans
1st/2nd/3rd individual places for SC:BW get gold/silver/bronze for their clans
1st/2nd/3rd clan places for counterstrike 1.6 get gold/silver/bronze for their clans
1st/2nd/3rd individual places for Quake Live get gold/silver/bronze for their clans
1st/2nd/3rd clan places for DotA get gold/silver/bronze for their clans
1st/2nd/3rd individual places for Magic get gold/silver/bronze for their clans
And on the sunday of racewars we announce the winning clans and overall winning clan everyone gets an achievement?
edit: also I think you should reconsider your 'No team games'. I think clan rivalries are the funnest part of our SC2SEA scene personally, i'd love to translate it over to other games (dota/cs 1.6/any other suggestions) and to the overall event .
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

This will probably be an individual based competition so sorry, no CS or DoTA. I'm not sure how many other teams can put together squads and its also for logistical reasons, like you need all 5 members to have a copy of CS, a copy of DOTA, etc and in the end its all just for a single day of competition..... with no prizes, just for fun!
The clan Olympics thing is a nice idea but you gotta consider the other clans in the scene, its going to punish a lot of the newer clans or smaller clans here. Not many clans have a long and illustrious history like TA, many of them are newer with young members don't wish to discourage these clans from participating or not winning anything.
Should be a competition where everyone can feel happy to play in, regardless of clan or people without a clan. The aim of this is just a fun week of nostalgia so we can celebrate our history of gaming as a community as a whole without drawing any lines / boundaries with each other.
Quake 3 now that you mention is free has been added as an official game for the nostalgia week.
Age of Empires 2 has been added as well as many people in this thread seem to love it. That will be the last RTS game.
That means just two more games to add! MTG has been removed as frogmite said its too hard to play online.
Keep up with the great suggestions guys!
Also, anyone who plays in ALL of the games will win an all rounder achievement, regardless of your performance to encourage participation in this event

I'm really confused by this, at least in regards with DOTA, its literally free with wc3 and wc3 is so damn easy to play on illegal server (iCCup for example) that the game is open to absolutely everyone. I also think you'll find between the 20 or so teams that played in SEACL (I think more? Not 100% sure) at least half of those teams would easily field a DotA team. The CS thing i can understand.

I actually don't understand this at all. How is putting in a reward system for the clans to participate discouraging clans to participate?

I completely agree. Everyone should be able to participate, and if you're not part of a clan/team (as mayo said earlier) this would be a perfect reason to join/create one, make friends within the community and grow the community in general. You 100% shouldn't have to be in a clan to participate at all, and any medals racked up by clanless players/pug teams shouldn't and don't have to count towards medal tallies.
Maybe I'm trying to make it into something it shouldn't be. meh.
I like the idea of clan olympics. It wouldn't just be 1v1 games, I assume there'd be all sorts of custom maps and team games played out in it on SC2/WC3/BW and this means even BSG clans have a shot.
