8. You may not include players based outside of Southeast Asia or Oceania in your team unless an admin grants special consideration.
9. You must own your own legal copies of StarCraft II for the SEA server.

Rules / FAQ

+ Show +

Your squad can have any number of players, they must all be in either Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum however.

You are allowed 4 roster changes during the tournament. If you swap two players, that is ONE roster change. If you just drop or add a player, thats also ONE roster change.

For each round you must nominate your starting player by 24 hour before the start time.
Losing team picks the next player and map. Your starting player cannot be a Platinum player.

Only two platinum players may be used per match. (This resets each match and DOES NOT have to be the same platinum players each match).

If you enter two teams, obviously each team must list a squad. Each team has the 4 roster changes. Players are Allowed to swap between the teams, as long as each team has a roster change to use (Even if they have played previously for the other team.). Also if a side who enters more then one team struggles to field a lineup and has used all their changes, I may allow more changes.

Any mid tournament promotions will be ignored. All players will use their league rank as of Team Submission. I will be checking for anyone delibrately lowering their rank however.

Disconnection Rules

1. If a player disconnects before 2.00 game time, the game MUST be replayed.
2. If a player disconnects between 2.00 and 9.59 game time, the game can be replayed if the other player agrees.
3. If a player disconnects after 10.00 game time, the game will NOT be replayed and will be counted as a loss. Blame your internet connection, not the admins.

I have a question not listed/covered here
Post in the thread of PM FSBenAD and I'll answer it and post it here!

(Post format blatently stole from the marvelous Tier 5 admins of the last SEACL )

Quick Comments

	FSDele:	+1 for being awesome
	Asrathiel:	lol that slug is creeeeeepy looking when it's big!!
	IXLives:	This is going to be awesome, Thanks for putting it on!
	nirvAnA:	fantastic stuff!

[FSBenAD]

Previous Discussion was here http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=5208

So we are close to finalizing all the details, Thursday night after all clans confirm participation and squads I will put up the groups/brackets and first week thread. Any clans who want to play have until Thursday, even if you arent on the list in the first post. I will ensure that everyone can play

At this stage I am still open to small tweaks. So suggest any here. Also I need you guys to think about two things

Start time
Since it is an all kill, a 2100Hrs AEST might be too late as a standard start time for any people in NZ and as these can go a few hours it might be really late for a lot of people by the end. I am open to starting at 2000Hrs AEST instead as standard, or even meet half way at 2030Hrs AEST. What does everyone think? Again I am allowing teams to reschedule if needed as long as I have notice and its played before the following Wednesady night.

Map Pool
Whilst I am happy with the 7 maps so far, DrGoose brings up a good point that in a best of 9, it might be good to atleast have 9 maps. Anyone got any good suggestions? I am considering throwing a non ladder map in there, maybe ESV Muspelheim (in the GSTL atm), with ESV Frigid Pass, ESV Vicious and ESV Sanshorn Mist all used in the ESV TV Korean Weekly. (All on SEA). Thoughts?

[EXCL]

Nice Ben -thanks for the huge effort.

I think throwing in some of those ESV maps would be a fantastic idea. Good for players and casters alike, to have fun and provide for more variety. I would personally go for 2000Hrs AEST as a bo9 can go quite late into the night.

[FSBenAD]

ToR have submitted their lineup. You can admire its majesty in the opening post (Thankyou Suipr!)

Also last chance today and tomorrow to

a) Get your input on the maps / start time
b) confirm your clans lineup and involvement!

[AsylumofSouls]

I'll vote for 2030Hrs AEST start time only because my daughter's bed time is ~2000hrs and voting for right then would be cutting it fine more Thursdays then not.

EDIT: @Dele: Not when I'm the manager mate

Quick Comments

FSDele:

it's ok suipr, you have soem silvers you can sacrifice for more time.

[breadfan]

I vote for just using the WCS map pool
WCS Cloud Kingdom LE
WCS Daybreak LE
WCS Ohana LE
WCS Antiga Shipyard
WCS Entombed Valley
WCS Shakuras Plateau
WCS Tal'Darim Altar LE (Booooo TDA)

Quick Comments

	FsDronesInJail:	down with TDA! boo hisss~
	AsylumofSouls:	funny stuff

[Asrathiel]

We have 2 players who can't get there til 2030 AEST so I'll put in a vote for that too.

^^WCS maps still only gives up 6 maps (or 7 if you use TDA ) and I agree that at least 9 are needed. I have no opinion on which maps though, and have no idea about the ESV maps, but having new maps is always interesting!

Will finalise my line-up tonight

[FSBenAD]

Ok so Ive updated the map pool, I agree adding new maps, while scary, is also a good thing. Plus if they are good enough for GSL and Dreamhack....

So Ive add ESV Muspelheim (as seen in GSTL) and ESV Frigid Pass (as seen at dreamhack)

	AsylumofSouls:	It's not an update if everyone already knows

[ToRSpartaz]

Woooooh looking forward to some great competition!

Thanks you guys for organising this thing!

[ToRVenom]

i think u need to watch venoms and breadfan ! www.twich.tv/venom2142

[Sephyre]

This starts the same night as GSL semi finals?

Will tune in when GSL isnt on

Quick Comments

AsylumofSouls:

Uh... I'll be at Barcraft =\ Good catch Sephyre

[AsylumofSouls]

Are TCP entering 2 teams? That squad is like the entire TCP roster...

[FSBenAD]

Hmmm thats a good point, maybe we should start the week after the semi finals..

Are too many people going to be at a barcraft/preoccupied next thursday?

Quick Comments

	AsylumofSouls:	If Nestea and DRG make it through, EVERYONE will be occupied :D
	FsDronesInJail:	Nestea didn't make it.... (sadface)

Let me know on this, Ill get the week 1 details up today, but theres no point us doing round 1 if most teams wont have the players.

Start time will be 2030Hrs AEST

[Asrathiel]

O_o TCP have more plats than we have total players...

Quick Comments

AsylumofSouls:

ikr? Crazy town ;P

[FSBenAD]

Ok most teams have the squads in... I might split the Fusion Slug team though if team night cant make it...
I'll be checking ranks of all players over the next few days

As this is a short tournament, I will ignore all in season promotions, so that teams dont get stuck with all their active golds getting to plat and not being able to play. (or losing all their plats to diamond).

However I want all promotions reported so I can keep the first post up to date of squads and so that other captains can quickly check which players are were platinum for the purpose of the 2 platinums only rule

[FSBenAD]

Asrathiel kindly verified my squads leagues.
I am currently doing it for the other teams and once that is complete ranks will be locked in place for the season

[FSBenAD]

Ive verified probably 75% of the player ranks so far, adjusted only a couple (i think 3), so make sure you double check your squad lists in the first post.

If anything is wrong there pm me!

So you've just got through TCP's team xD

Quick Comments

	FSBenAD:	Hahaha :D
	TCPLemminks:	haha...there was 1 change c'mon!

[AsylumofSouls]

Just letting you know that the wife and I will be at Barcraft on Thursday but I'll be able to field a team and organise for someone else to manage the guys while I'm away if you decide to start then so no preferences either way.

[Asrathiel]

I think we'll be right for the 19th

[deadpixel]

if you need more streamers / casters, I am available

I probably won't get to play because we have too many platinums now

[FSBenAD]

OK Week 1 thread is up (http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=5281)

I need the opening player by Wednesday 2030Hrs AEST
Any team which hasn't submitted their opening player by that time will start being 0-1 down (meaning their opponents only need to win 4 more games).

Also if you play the Fusion Slugs, please do not send me your first player. I will be arranging for someone to take both my play submission and opponents.

I'll update you on who that is once I find someone

Quick Comments

Asrathiel:

I'm happy to do that

[mGGNemesis]

hihi... am curious about the map ESV Frigid Pass.
Is it all spawns on that map?

[AsylumofSouls]

Just letting you know, I played one game and we were both on the left so definitely not forced cross

Quick Comments

	Asrathiel:	Thanks ^_^
	FSBenAD:	Thanks!

[FSBenAD]

I will test it out and let you know today

[IXLives]

Awesome work Ben, looks like things are kicking off pretty smoothly, which can't have been easy.

We'd have a much larger roster at IXL but unfortunately a few of us have work/uni and other obligations to fill. Bring it on FaDe!

[Mox]

For those interested, we will be casting our games on the channel www.twitch.tv/fusiontvsc2

gl hf gg!

[FSBenAD]

Awesome, il be adding the streams in the week one post too and shouting them out on the night via the Slugs twitter and facebook

[IXLives]

Actually sorry can we change the stream link for now to http://twitch.tv/ninthlegion ? Thanks, just made a clan one to kinda centralise everything.

[FSBenAD]

All positions are enabled on Frigid Pass

Quick Comments

mGGNemesis:

thxs! I managed to test it out yesterday as well :)

[ToRVenom]

just a reminider to every one .. That all the cool games are going to be on my stream!

So amke sure to check them out on that www.twitch.tv/venom2142!

GLHF
Peace!

[FSBenAD]

Slugs have made 2 subs (additions)
- FSBattletoast ( )
- FSshrOOmy ( )

[EXCL]

Hi Ben, can you please change FaDeChaynes to ChaynesOre?

I thought he had put the "fade" tag on but hasnt yet - so no one gets confused

ty

[TCPLemminks]

Can TCP sub LtNCalibra.??? in? THanks
Also TAdeL is actually on his account, will using him count towards our plat usage per game?

EDIT: Can i get a Clarification on this

+ [rule] +

Any mid tournament promotions will be ignored. All players will use their league rank as of Team Submission. I will be checking for anyone delibrately lowering their rank however.

: Does this also include any Golds who get promoted to Platinum?

Quick Comments

AsylumofSouls:

deL. I remember when he was diamond :P

[FSBenAD]

That is correct

if the player was BSG when rosters were submitted and checked, they will be BSG for the whole tournament.

If the player was platinum, they will be platinum for the whole tournament.

Same go for subs (as in the rank when the sub is named)

[FSBenAD]

Yeah I noticed when I checked his league was gold, but I left players at a higher rank when the team submitted one was higher, as you guys know your players better then I do

Quick Comments

	TCPLemminks:	I would have submitted him as Gold if i knew :(. Oh well he hasn't been playing for the past few months
	AsylumofSouls:	^^ He plays more than me ;P

[mGGDrGooSe]

Just to check, we were resurrecting maps during week 1. Is that supposed to happen?

[TCPLemminks]

Originally Posted by mGGDrGooSe

We have 9 maps so I assume no? TCP and ToR played all nine maps in our game, no resurrects.Otherwise I doubt anyone will ever play the ESV maps

[rezyn8]

Could you update the binary beast brackets please

[FSBenAD]

You can repeat maps, if that means the ESV maps don't get played as much, that is fine.. But I'd hope some people give them go.. Getting one or two players really good at those maps, could help you snipe the opposing team

My main aim is to that the tournament is quite easy to play in, there is no prize, just fun and glory.

Brackets are now updated, I was awaiting the results of the FaDe and IXL game

[FSBenAD]

IXL have used up all their subs now, so they cannot add any more players. Only players in your squad can play

[FSBenAD]

Hi everyone,

So I'd really like to get some feedback on the map pool , as well as an idea on map use counts too. It will help myself plan future tournaments

I'd also really encourage games to be played on the two new maps, the map pool can't change if people dont give new maps a chance

[TCPLemminks]

Not being able to reuse maps allows us to prepare snipers for specific maps as well as other strategies of the sort. Personally I'm not really a fan of Frigid Pass, perhaps Atlantis Spaceship instead?

[EXCL]

Can Fade plz use their second sub to bring in FaDeVision

Cheers!

[FSBenAD]

@FaDeEXCL - done!

@TCPLemminks - I was hoping to throw in Atlantis or Whirlwind into the pool, but I couldnt find them anywhere on SEA

[FSBenAD]

QED have playlists on youtube for the Vods of their games

Grats to Fusion Slugs!

Well done to all teams who played, i hope we can do this again soon!

Maybe you'll get a forum achievement someday Ben :P

[FSBenAD]

I will be without internet for a few weeks at my new place, but I will try and get online when I can to wrap up the series

Thankyou all for taking part and I hope you had fun!
