Yes HD! i've spoken to him and as i mentioned before, he essentially tells me what to do lol. He called me during my night class at 10.

Anyway, regretfully this is the decision.

Sadly, due to the very poor response from SC2, they've decided to take down SC2.

I'm extremely disappointed upon hearing the cancellation of this tournament. Initially I was really upbeat about this tournament, and really glad that Colosseum, one of the best lanshops in Singapore are supportive of this great game and it's community. Sadly, from postponing, to even cancellation, and even joseph trying to lend a hand, it all boils down to nothing.

If you think that the Singapore SC2 community are not interested in the tournament, I can tell you this - You are wrong. You should have done a more proper planning, perhaps seeking advice from the more experienced people who've hosted tournaments such as HD (SSL) and myself (Epic tournament). I understand the organizer's need to see a tournament being filled up, to justify it's prize money and products. If you had tried to reach out to more gamers through more channels, or approached some of the clans and groups around in SC2sea, you would see more signups.

I'm really disappointed.

i was...gonna register..lol. anyway, i think u will get a better response if we can register online&make payment online for the online qualifier without having to ask a friend to go up there to help us register.

I understand your anger and frustration but i don't think that anyone has mentioned that the community for SG SC2 is bad in anyway. In fact it definetly is much better then 1 of the games imo, in terms of how friendly they are and how enthusiastic.

Yes there were previous compe's that i've helped out in and they've got really awesome sign up's even though it's only been given 1 week for people to sign up. eg: the 2v2 compe and 1v1 Gold and lower leagues last year.

But for this time round, the management has decided that they would like to focus on the other games such as LoL and Blackshot, although not great games imo (esp BlackShot).

As to answer part 2 of your question- "why didn't we consult with HD or you"

I believe that HD has spoken to Donald on several occasions and have talked about alot of things, such as the mechanics and dates and formats. But as to what happened, i've yet to talk to either of them.

In terms of planning, no offense but i'm quite sure HD is more then experienced enough to help Donald out. And as to why you are no longer in EPIC committee or any other organizing committee speaks alot for itself.

As for the future competitions, i would as much as HD, voice out your feedback and comments and hopefully the next time round we would not only be able to get a larger prize pool but more participants as well.

@ProTimber : For the online payment, sadly, the SCEL site is yet to be up so having online payment is not implemented yet.
HOWEVER, the LAN compe(s) coming up towards the end of the year should allow you to pay for them online.

I hope that this would not deter the community from joining future SG LAN competitions.
