[ToRPandarine]

I'm coming back and what better way than to hold a weekly open throughout this month? With the weekly BSG Open now coming to a close, where will the players get their weekly dose of tournament other than from the TN Weekly Open? D:

So ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you to the

Date: 1st December 2012 (Saturday)
Time: 8pm AEDT :: 10pm NZT :: 5pm SGT
Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/fate025 :: http://www.twitch.tv/tcperos :: http://www.twitch.tv/ssj5gogetenks

How to Register: Just leave a post below with your ingame name, Battlenet ID and league. It's that simple!

+ [Rules, Regulations and Tournament Eligibility] +

Tournament Eligibility:
You must be legitimately in the Bronze , Silver , Gold and Platinum league (1v1 - SEA license) and you must be active on ladder.
You WILL be checked for smurf activity designed to keep you in any of these leagues.
Anyone found to be smurfing will immediately be disqualified as well as have the knowledge they have made Panda very sad. Oh, and potentially being shamed on sc2sea.

Battle.net chat channel: "PandaWW"

Rules

• You must contact your opponent on Battle.net preferably by being in chat channel "PandaWW" to play your match
• You have ~15 minutes to start your Round 1 match; anybody that is not contactable after 10 minutes will be disqualified. This 10 minute timeout rule applies throughout the tournament.
• You must play your main ladder race throughout tournament.
• The only race switch allowed is to and you may not switch again.
• Observers: Tournament admins or official streamers are always allowed and the only ones to observe your game
• Problems/Questions: When in doubt about anything, contact an admin
• Reporting Results: After the match has been played, you must report the result by pm to an admin
• Disconnects: If a player disconnects, the game must be replayed. If a player disconnects for a second time, his opponent will be awarded a free-win. A win may also be awarded if the player that disconnected was significantly behind at the time of disconnection. Contact an admin if you would like your game/replay reviewed.
• Pauses: You must notify your opponent in game if you wish to pause. This pause should not exceed 5 minutes. Excessive pausing in game may lead to disqualification.
• Bad Manner will not be tolerated. Anyone caught BMing will be warned. Further offenses will lead to disqualification. Any racist, hateful or excessively derogatory language may lead to removal without warning. We are a friendly group and we'd like to see it stay that way.
• Replays: Should be saved at least until the following tournament. Anyone asked by admins to provide a replay who cannot do so will be disqualified.

Looking for:

[FLuX]

Awesome stuff for BSGP players! But please fix the map pool T_T

[mGGDrGooSe]

Awesome, hopefully I can make it for this. But agreed with what others have said. TDA, shak, dual sight, belshir and calm aren't great maps. It's also a lot of maps to have without having vetos available.

I think entombed, ohana, cloud, antiga, daybreak, metro are fine. If you want another map on top of that then maybe have a look at one of the non-broken ESV maps or i believe maps like gls whirlwind and stuff are on sea now because of IEM qualifiers? But I would defs keep it to 6 or 7 maps. Really hard for people to prac when there is a bunch of non-ladder maps.

EDIT: just to be clear I'm not signing up yet. Just commenting. Will sign up on the day if I can make it.

[ToRPandarine]

right, gonna follow the IEM Singapore map pool (more or less)...less of a headache XD

TDA removed cause I hate it as well, condemned ridge removed

DUCKVILLELOL @ FairyDust goes down fighting to TABjornbrandr @ TABJ.

GGWP to both players. Both played exceptionally well and were entertaining to watch.

Sick Mech Terran play with BattleCruisers or CattleBruisers on Game 1.
Insane Protoss assault with Zealots, Sentries, Collosi, HTs and Archons on Game 2.
Sick micro of a Banshee but an even sicker double Immortal drop on Game 3.
