Congrats to the winners, we're looking to make the next competition even bigger and better.
- Live casting with Webcam
- More stage matches
- Even better SC2 seating position (compared to stage)
- More prizes (Bring in some other companies too)
- More PC's to hire

So what I need from Respawn SC2 goers is... What can we improve with the event? What do you want to see?

darkphoenix22 · Tue, 29th-Jan-2013, 1:46 PM

lack of cake was disappointing, aside from that.......dunno, more streams of different games. like an sc2 stream, dota stream, cs stream.

I think our current format is good for both casual and higher level players. Anyone disagree/have ideas for changes to it?

Live on site casters would need to be separated from the main gaming area, as it can be quite loud with other genres/competitions running.

Games on stage is fine, but the main respawn admins need to be behind this 100%, as not much point of players going up there if its not on the big screen.

Bringing in more sponsors/prizes might attract interest from out of state, which would be cool. High enough first place to make it worth while, while adding deeper prizes for 4th, 5th, 6th would also be great.

BYO pc can be an issue for some, and if we get people travelling from interstate, having pc's there to hire specifically for sc2 would be cool.

Also i expect interest in sc2 to be bigger for the next one due to HOTS release.

- I would look at putting casters near the admin desk (across from the food desk)

- I would love to see more games on the big screen

- There would likely be more product investment, which helps out those guys who attend every event but walk away with nothing

- We could look at having 2-3 PC's + monitors to hire out for sure

We're wanting to make the next Respawn event (April) a big SC2 and CS:GO event, so give us all the information/help that you can.
Help us help you!

The stage is a cool idea but the current setup shakes a LOT - just using the keyboard/mouse caused the screen to wobble. It can be quite off-putting; hopefully something can be done about it.

	ToRSpookToR:	oh princess
	Mayo:	Thanks for feedback, I don't know as I don't play on stage. Can't tell otherwise ;)
	NOM:	Everyone that was on stage had the same problem
	mGGPrometheus:	agreed

if your planning this respawn event to be as big as your saying.
then the startcraft 2 brackets are going to take a year and half to play through.

perhaps maybe a online qualifier? to pre seed players into brackets to maintain a smooth start?

Casting station sounds amazing, i'd love to see people up on stage really hyping it up!

and from past experiences it's the area's as to where i can kinda pack my gear without it being a hassle for everyone else.
maybe look into a area we can hire out to store goods for people close to the event?

mGGPrometheus · Tue, 29th-Jan-2013, 5:31 PM

I had a great time, congrats to the winners!

Why is that?

We're running swiss bracket which means the same amount of rounds will be played no matter the amount of players.
It's worked fine across the first 3 Respawn Tournaments thus far.

**Eddie** · Wed, 30th-Jan-2013, 2:29 PM

Time is not really an issue at respawn. It's a 2 day lan.

With 25-30 players, swiss and top 8 de finals, we usually finish early morning, 1/2am. Could always finish later if required. It's a good test of endurance. Doesn't start as early as some other lans either.

If there is a massive increase in participation we could look at trailing best of 1's for the swiss stage, with more rounds, say 15, as standard 5/6 might not be enough to determine top players.
