OMFG I just wrote a page long post and accidentally deleted it. fml

I'll summarise:

*Great tournament, shame I lost cos of tiredness (and a bit of framelag). But some of my wins were surely cos opponent was tired so I can't say it skewed the tournament results too far.
*Big thanks to everyone who helped host and organise the event: Dox, Norksman, Maynarde, Doble, Team managers and players, Vanz, Parker and co., Supporters like Asrath n Drgoose who stayed for finals, TAboys +jimdiddy gettin drunk during the semis and finals was hilarious.
*Even fraglabs bearded support guy was very nice and helpful. Not his fault the laptops were having really bad framerates.
*the Asus pcs had alot of troubles, shame they spent more time maintaining the display pcs then providing any fixes for these ones.

Thanks to yang for sick music. Targa for being cocky enough to motivate SEA players to play better. Glade for showing when he has to dig deep, he can do it.

Ninja for 4-1 his group when no1 thought he was a favourite for even 2nd place. And then after slipping up vs glade to lose 2-1 despite having a clear lead he demolished the lower bracket only to lose to Targa at 1.30am looking extremely exhausted and clearly not playing anything near his standard game. 4th place = no money, and always forgotten. But I have no doubt Ninja would have come top 2 if it the tournament finished earlier in the day when he had energy to keep competing. Bl to SQLNinja baller breakout performance of the tournament.

Vanz etc will surely improve this event next time.

My suggestions:

1) Norksman needs an underling to catch people laddering and wasting time and hurry them up.
2) Teammates forced to play first in group play when possible to avoid thrown matches, this wasn't an issue in this tournament but could be in future.
3) SC2 viewing area like on the 2nd day, set up on the first day, with volume just high enough so the audience can hear it. Makes live spetating experience much nicer.
4) Terrans and protoss train harder and make it out of groups you bastards.

I liked the part with the excuses and saying that ninja would have finished 2nd.

Were you even present at the event?

I said he'd come top 2. As in I think he had a good chance of beating glade the first time too and potentially winning the whole tourney but he didn't handle his condition too well.

Go stir shit somewhere else idiot.

[Sats]

Awesome event!

Was only able to stay for about 3-4hours but thoroughly enjoyed it (and the stream once I got home was good)

Congrats on a great event and of course to Glade for taking it out!

Will definitely try to catch more of the next event.

[xGKingdelete]

Not sure if anyone else has said it, but awesome event!

The organisers and hosts (who PiG has named) did a great job, especially Dox and Norksman. Seriously, all us players have to do is play games, they do all the hard work!

Is there a playlist of the songs that were playing throughout?


Also, sorry iaguz for letting you down

Sorry to Pinder as well. I knew who you were, it was just confusing because everyone was facing the other way ><

Still in sydney, losing at the laggest net cafe in NSW and nursing a hangover T_T


This event was absolutely amazing, seeing everyone from online, new and old was ******* awesome. Once you go to one of thse events you wanna go to them all, and I didnt even play (showed up late hungover and depressed), but really meeting everyone and speccing games was way worth it.

Finally got to meet my fellow tier 4 rapist Divinity

Shoutout to Ninja, who was an absolute beast all weekend, and taking a game off a previously confident Targa

Special shoutout to Chad for looking after us all and moving us along when we caused a 'disturbance'

Pig, wish you could have drank with us and a shame the event ran so long, but I think everyone did a great job considering how long it went

Not bloody bad.

[ACL VaNzR]

Just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to the community for coming down to this event and watching at home!!

Time Delays
A mixture of player time wasting combined with communication between the tournament runners & stream team caused unfavourable delays. Next events will see 1-2 additional 'enforcer referees' recruited to ensure this NEVER occurs again. We will not be lenient on laddering and/or time wasting (especially in the middle of series).


Updated Brackets.
We have a staff member whose only job is to ensure brackets are updated and use social media. Unfortunately Dox uses prehistoric excel sheets for tournament which made it harder to update easily . We will force Dox to go to the dark side and use a web friendly (instant update) version rather than his excel doc in future.

Is there a playlist for music used?
Yes. Was only 97 songs. Sorry to those who were forced to listen to them on loop. Will increase that for next time. Contact me if you want the actual list.

Additional Improvements
- More xG Light on stream and interviews

Awesome event, glad I came the 2nd day too even though I got knocked out. Was good fun meeting everyone - EVERYONE who came along was extremely friendly and up for a laugh, SEA community is great.

Congratz to Glade~~~~!

[EveTechtron]

Adding to this thread, I think something that is important is not delaying the bracket in order to stream games and showing high piriortity games for example "Streaming Light vs Glade" in the group stage which was amazing series

sick sickkkkkkkkkk event

first day's delays was something like the moonstar's guide to tournament management (me + chadmann's set got delayed 4 times for other games to be streamed and then a 5th time so they could get pinder to cast it) but it's all cool since we had an awesome time

just like to give a shoutout to [TA]LoSt for being such a massive vagina by asking us to peg stuff at his nuts and then dodging every time we got close

hopefully there'll be lots of replays from the event also! if not, doesn't matter, we all had a ball and everyone, you're all awesome

It was such an amazing event shame I was only watching the stream. stream was amazing quality, having the participants cast on occasions was fantastic, never thought some players especially tgun and deth would pull it off so well.

i think the breaks in between streamed matches should have something like a list of players that are currently playing matches off stream, or a quick preview on the brackets. Only having the acl logo and the cam on the spectators stage was a bit boring at times. Was improved on Sunday though as there was more footage of what was actually happening in the SC2 part of ACL.

The awkwardly cute interviews were great, but there should of been a bigger variety of interviews, :P too many people got interviewed more than twice and livi and cheeky duck run out of things to say.i suggest interviews for after matches only. maybe a few quick words before they play.
Didn't really like the interviews done on the CoD players on Sunday though, they really didn't say much and it was pretty awkward (not in a funny/ cute kind of way)

Congrats to Nv.Mopglade, Shame i wasn't awake enough to watch 4 hours of zvz (not my cup of tea)
also a clap for Targa and PiG. Techtron, Iagus, & Yang for some of the amazing games I watched on teh streams. and a for deth, and all the acl staff.

edit: extra for infeza's korean casting.
FIIRST BLOOD!

[crAzerk]

Only caught snippets of it here and there (i.e. yoon v jazbaz), but I really loved the whole showing-players'-reactions-after game : Those who were watching should recall jazbas' expression of jubilation - a look of disbelief his face with his hands behind his head, a broad smile uncontrollably spreading across his face - after he beat yoon in the final game.

Never knew deL had such a sexy voice too lol!

EDIT: Thanks guys fixed the silly error

Lots of people have said awesome event but I would go so far as to say Epic. Clocking in at almost 30 hours of streaming out of the weekends 42 a mammoth effort.
Advise for next time, give people times till next game as accurately as possible on the stream. I noticed the stream would always slowly decay on breaks between sets with no known time they didnt know when to come back. I know this is hard but it will help keep a lot more viewers for the majority of the stream rather than watch one set then go somewhere else. Side note the second day when you had the names of people seemed to hold more people.
Advise for sponsors have a nice quick link to the featured product of advertisement on your front page well the event is running. Example Fraglabs having quick link to ACL laptops build somewhere in the laptop section or sponsored events section so we can see this and maybe impulse buy it. I checked out a few of their websites and it was somewhat of a challenge to work out what the featured product of advertisement was at ACL. Also on this note to the casters try to limit speaking of non sponsor things. There wasnt much but there was a little.

All in all a great event can not speak highly enough of the work people have done to achieve this. Not just those mentioned as directly working on ACL but all of the SEA community supporters. It really is a testament to how awesome the gaming community is in Australia and SEA. Remember if you buy a product sponsoring ACL let them know you noticed the advertisement from ACL. It helps make numbers add up and turn numbers into faces.
