The image says it all! Ladies and Gentlemen, I welcome you to the one and only one time
ThePandarine Bronze Silver Open
The tournament is a little throwback to my roots as well as giving these fellas a shot at one hell of a prize!
Come the 31st of August at 8pm AEST, 64 players from the and league will compete for pride, honour and glory. Oh, they'll also be blooding each other for an hour of professional coaching from both Team ToR and Carnage e-Sports.
Wait. What? The winner gets not only pride, honour and glory but two hours of coaching (one a piece from Team ToR and Carnage e-Sports). Wowza!
So, what you and players waiting for? Leave a post below to sign up now for your chance now!
Tournament Eligibility:
You must be legitimately in the Bronze or Silver league (1v1 - SEA license) and you must be active on ladder.
You WILL be checked for smurf activity designed to keep you in a lower league.
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.

FAQ:
Q:Just coaching?
A: Yes. There was more planned but smurfing became an issue.
Q:If i'm / on another server but ////, can I still play?
A:*looks at you*
Q:Why are you doing this?
A:I want to give the little guys a chance. There's another reason but only one or two people know that.
lol dude the one friday i cant od .. my brother is comming home form hte airforce and we are going out that night lol!
the one night:P
I will need to confirm, so it's not for certain, but I'm pretty sure I have an exam next week, then a week of no exams before the next one. Which means I might be in a position to fill in for Venom if needed
This is a really good exposure for those who are in Bronze and Silver who never had the chance to be in a competitive environment, playing against people around your level. Really great of you eh Panda for organizing this. Cheers!
It looks really good man! Thank you for putting so much work into it and sick logo btw! Hope everything runs smoothly and we can see more of this! Needs to get featured on tournaments too, go ask nirv!
would be great if this tournament is held every week/ 2 weeks friday, this way it gets them prepared for saturday's BSG.
And about the smurfin' part, could make a point system (like 1st = 8 points, 2nd = 7 points , 3rd = 6 points, 4th 5th 6th = 5 points, first time participants 1 points each, consequent participation 2 points each) every 4-5 events the highest accumulated points will get some bigger prize or something.
just my 2 cents, open to criticisms.

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.

I'm keen for casting if available I think I am down to cast with Mirth if he gets knocked out, and also with justice before that (I have my own stream and what not already, so we cool for that ) Let me know if you need casters still! And low level is my favourite!
Sweet, thanks for the co-cast overlay! Any ideas as to what you would like in the box on the right? As well, is the like some sort of advertising roll that you want to roll while it is going? Such as like the logos of the clans/coaching or something like that?

The left two boxes are designed for two web cams (hence co-caster overlay) with the bigger right box designed for your screen
Ah so this is what you were plugging on my stream. Really nice initiative and I hope it all goes well.
It seems you already have enough casters and the like and I would be more than happy to give some up-and-coming casters a shot at a bigger tournament audience.
Let me know if I can assist in any capacity be that casting, production or something else!
well i qualified as Silver however my Desktops HDD failed so i dont have any of my old replays which may be an issue. if i can get my PC working before the weekend i'll smash out heaps of 1v1s and show u some of those as it appears i've improved since last i did 1's
i think i didn't play the last season so yeah that may be an issue but check out my profile if you want TAHAWKEYE code 419

I was talking to my co-caster recently, and we were looking at having in between games the two cameras setup, and also the bracket on the larger screen. As well, do we have any small square logos for maybe some of the clans sponsoring it or something to put along the bottom of the interface while the players are in game?
Ah I'll be at my sisters place that night but I think she might be catching up with a friend, so sign me up and I will hopefully be there in force with laptop Inumbris.288, will post again if it turns out I can't make it on, fingers crossed!
Hey Pandarine, I don't think I will be able to help with the admin side of things on the 31st
I have a midsem uni exam on the 1st of September and I should probably study for that xD
Good luck with the tournament!!!

I don't like this rule. It works (sort of) in the BSG open because the BSG open signups are only days before the event itself. So someone who got promoted has JUST been promoted. In this case, tournament registration happened weeks before the event. So I definitely think this needs to be re-thought, or the title changed to Panda's BSG open.
Although there are a lot of terrans, it's good to see more toss and zerg. Be kind of dry since TvT can go for ages
Thanks Panda. I'm just trying to help though ahahaha and asylum, I gave him advice for his TvP so I knew his general habits and how he plays xD

At this point, perhaps the newly promoted gold players could use their own judgement and conscience as well? If they are doing well in gold after promotion, maybe backing out to give the bronze/silver players their fun at their level would be a nice, wiser and much appreciated decision?
Afterall there is still the weekly BSG opens as well

That would be the nmore honourable thing to do, and when you think about it that's alll you are going for. I wouldn't want to win if I was clearly better then the competition

hey man im gonna pull out. playing like crap. thanks for putting it on
Sorry didn't mean to offend anybody, I just meant that I wasn't feeling very good about my play that night, and didn't want to enter as a result. Also my very recent promotion was making me rethink my participation regardless.
Sorry Panda going to have to do a last minute withdrawal But good luck to everyone else in it, have fun!

Thanks to everybody for organising the event. Lots of fun and a good experience. Didn't get to see any of the casting though so I hope that all went well. gg

Congratulations to mGGsneak for becoming the victor of ThePandarine Bronze Silver Open! I am sure the sponsors have been in contact with you. Again, congratulations!
To all the other participants, although you may not be the victor but you are all winners in my eyes. A round of applause for our participants who gave all the viewers a good show!
There's more I want to say but you know what? You'll just have to read it in the official writeup!
I'll catch you all later and again, thanks for participating/watching/being here!

Going to second what ThePandarine says here, Mirth, Justice and myself all enjoyed casting the games heaps! Was a pleasure to have great manner and community spirit in the games, and to see the sort of turn out we had for the tournament was awesome too! Thanks for being awesome and organizing stuff like this ThePandarine!
