So we have had some plats promoted to diamonds recently and we have a big group of diamonds.
While waiting for their turns to play on SEACL (one recalls Saiyan's all-kill) and some players unable to join us due to school and other real life matters, the idea of a mainly diamonds inhouse tourney was born.

WHO WILL SHINE BRIGHTEST?

I need all Diamonds to respond if they are interested either in here or by pm via skype or in game by
14 Feb (Thursday).

I am capping the tourney to 12 players because we are using a round robin format (bo1). That means, if we have 12 players, each player has 11 games to play.
(No man left behind; it's now 14 players :P )

MORE DETAILS :
Start Date/Time : 16 Feb (Sat) 3pm SGT 6pm AEDT
This is for most of the players to meet at a common time/date and have most of the games completed within 2-3 hours.

So what happens to the rest of the games and players who can't make it and WANTS TO BE THE WINNER????

You will have until 24 Feb (Sunday) 12 midnight SGT to 'date' your opponent(s) to do your game(s).

BUT I'M PLAT AND I THINK I AM BETTER THAN ALL THE DIAMONDS!!

Dun worry, you aren't forgotten.

ARE THERE PRIZES?

I will have to ask the T4 ppl what they think

EDIT : They said only if u played with mouse only. Webcam during play and streaming as proof as well. Then we thought it's probably going to be too hard for u :P

Some of the players felt it would be fun to share some of the replays/highlights with everyone so here are 4 selected replays.
*I didn't want to bomb the sc2sea replays section with more than 4 atm. But if there are others to be shared, send them my way and I might do another upload later*

Reaver vs Para http://www.sc2sea.com/replays.php?do=viewreplay&id=2195

Para vs Yuu http://www.sc2sea.com/replays.php?do=viewreplay&id=2196

Erazed vs CookieMonsta http://www.sc2sea.com/replays.php?do=viewreplay&id=2197

Pressure vs CookieMonsta http://www.sc2sea.com/replays.php?do=viewreplay&id=2198

Reminder deadline to complete games ends 3 March. Erazed aka Zen has completed all his games, dropping only 2 games! Yuu and CookieMonsta are close behind also having lost just 2 games as well but 2 more games to complete.

Regretfully Tartarsause and EXCL had to pull out from the tourney due to Tech Woes (the Tech Woes Bug hit many mGG PD players over these past 2 weeks)

[mGGNemesis]

After TWO weeks of challenging each other, we now have the results for the Diamond Challenge.

Zen aka Erazed completed all 11 games and was the first one to do so by the original deadline. (He gets special mention) . Having only lost two games it also puts him in the lead with 9 points.

Yuu completed 10 games and was unable to find Saiyan to complete his 11th game. Though he is plat atm, he has shown everyone he is not one to be taken lightly as he too only lost 2 games. He even took out favourites such as cookie.
Replay can be found here --> http://www.sc2sea.com/replays.php?do=viewreplay&id=2200
He finishes the challenge with 8 points.

CookieMonsta too completed 10 games. Though both yuu and CookieMonsta initially tied for 2nd placing, Cookie's 10th game vs Jieun proved the important match for Cookie as Jieun knocks out Cookie.
Replay here --> http://www.sc2sea.com/replays.php?do=viewreplay&id=2201
Hence Cookie lost 3 games in total. He finishes the challenge with 7 points.

So the Grand Winner for our Diamond Challenge Tournament is
Zen aka Erazed

Congratulations!


*Regretfully, Tartarsause and EXCL had to pull out of the tourney due to computer woes.
