I hosted a few events at iBisQ several years ago and I have to say, it was a nice venue.

One thing to note is that the cash prizes are nothing staggering, and most of the prize value comes from sponsor-donated gear. But as long as they get a good turnout, they'll continue to support bigger and better events in the future, so if you live in Melbourne, try to show up to these events! From my recollection, it's a very short walk from the train station.

[kellyMILKIES]

Sounds cool~ Dox, is IBisQ near the city? or..? Is there a google map for it

[Dox]

Hawthorn is like 5 stations from Melbourne central - about 15 minutes on the train.



From memory, the venue is less than 2 blocks from the station, parallel.

[Mez]

I recall it being right next to glenferrie(?), but not all the trains stop there - door was a bit tricky to find as well if it's your first time there.

tbh all I remember was going to Luke's place and watching Pirates of the Caribbean whilst tripping over his giant dog.

And he said he lived "inner city" yet it was like a 40 minute train to his house lol.

[SLCN.Kez]

awesome cant wait . Out of curiosity how is there 2 grand of prizes per tournament? theres 525 in cash, then all the other prizes combined (including girls) is worth 690 = 1215?

Beats me, probably just exaggerated prize values to build more hype. I'm not behind the event, I'm just copy/pasting their advertisement. :P

[Benji]

6K in the title is misleading, however still sounds like a fun event, i'll see if i can find a way to attend one of them :P

[SLCN.Kez]

lol yeah a lil weird... but they shouldnt false advertising, just increase the prize money having said that tho im still gonna be playing in all 3 of them ahaha

[Dox]

Actually I think we all need to learn how to read. I just noticed it says,

We don't actually know what the goodies will be, but I guess it's feasible that they'll be giving away $700 worth of free stuff as well.

[Eddie]

Awesome

Went to Starcraft 2 Open Tournament #3 earlier this year at a different venue. Was good, i didn't play very well though. I'd like to think i'm a better player now however :P

Might have to work all 3 Saturdays, that would be bad, but i'll ask my boss if i can swap weekends, fingers crossed...

Would be good, only about 20mins from my house.

[GGnoRe]

i used to go there when i was living in kew a long time ago. i might take part in this one! time to get practising!

[ROOT`iaguz]

Might come down for one of these.

Seems quite strange that you'd have 3 tournies instead of just one as it kinda sucks for folks going interstate ><

[EveTechtron]

You can be sure to see me at all of these events.

very keen ^^

[Hocus]

finally my homies at bisquit got their shit together. cant wait for these

[Dox]

$300 first place hardly seems worth the trip. Wouldn't even pay for itself! :P

I can see how multiple events would be guaranteed to pull a bigger overall crowd as you're less likely to run into a conflict of schedules. It's pretty clear that they're still relying on these events as a promotional step to bigger events.

[Nofan]

Don't think i'll be good enough for these, so i might try and get my skills up and attempt to sign up for the last one! It's a short train ride from me, i live just next to parliment station

[Dox]

Should come along to all 3 man, even the worst player in the world seems to have a good chance at walking away with some freebies simply by attending.

[gezza]

Awesome event guys - had alot of fun at the last one.

1 – Metalopolis
2 – Xel’Naga Caverns
3 – Delta Quadrant
4 – The Shattered Temple
5 – Shakuras Plateau
6 – Scrap Station
7 – Slag Pits

question about the map pool, maps are ok but scrap, slag and delta are questionable, I dont think any tournaments have these in their pool given their imbalances. Also will meta, shattered, shakuras follow all the other big tournies and not allow close positions?

Yes - I play zerg, and use close positions is stupid.

[Dox]

I'm sure they'll update the maps by the time the events kick off, probably just copy/pasted the format of the last events.

[Eddie]

Pretty sure event #3 didn't have the new ladder maps.

Random spawn positions on bigger maps are part of what makes the game fun imo.

What they did at #3 was allow veto's. Was either 1 or 2 each. So not so bad, played on maps both didn't mind.

Mind you they might do something completely different this time...

[Dox]

Event #3 was over 4 months ago, which new maps are you referring to?

[Benji]

1 large prize pool should generate more interstate interest, plus local players will reschedule for 1 event.

[Eddie]

The Shattered Temple + Slag Pits listed above.

Plus the other ones on ladder atm: Tal'Darim, Typhon, Backwater

This was the map pool from #3:

1- Blistering Sands
2- Steppes of War
3- Xel’Naga Caverns
4- Delta Quadrant
5- Lost Temple
6- Metalopolis
7- Shakuras Plateau

[Dox]

Hey it's not my event, I'm just saying - It's pretty obvious what they're trying to achieve with these small events. Interstate exposure doesn't appear to be a goal!
As a local resident I appreciate 3 events rather than 1 larger one.

I think one of us is misunderstanding the other... were they not the standard ladder maps in January? Which new maps should have been in the pool for event #3?

I agree, more ones for locals is a great start, which will hopefully lead to larger tournaments, much like what seems to be happening in Sydney.

Originally Posted by Dox

Yeah they were.

I was more saying to Gezza they used them last time, when they had a couple of other map options.

I was saying to you that they wouldn't have copied and pasted as changed a couple of maps, including 2 new ones, which indicates to me they are aware maps have changed, but these are the ones they've selected.

[Dox]

Ahh, understood. Either way, I'll get in touch with Aseenus and try to get the maps updated. I'd say it's just an oversight after being out of the scene since the last event.

[Eddie]

I hope they stick with ladder maps, rather than GSL ones, as not everyone plays or practices them.

If i had to suggest a map pool of 7, i'd go:

1 – Metalopolis
2 – Xel’Naga Caverns
3 – Tal'Darim Altar LE
4 – The Shattered Temple
5 – Shakuras Plateau
6 – Typhon Peaks
7 – Slag Pits

Close positions on Shakuras aren't really a problem since the update are they? No back rocks now. Big distance.

Close positions on Slag Pits would a lot worse than the 3 you mentioned.

[Benji]

In Sydney we have 3 large cafe's running a single event every few months all competing for business, its a different thing.

[TargA]

cu guys there ^_^

[gezza]

Sorry - I meant slag pits instead of shakura. I understand there is fun in the randomness of positions however there is a reason why all major international tournaments (GSL, MLG, IPL, NASL) have close positions removed for shattered, meta and even shakuras [you always spawn opposite].
I am just suggesting if we want to XIN tournaments to be taken seriously we should atleast follow one of the basic rules of international tournaments.

The map pool is a little outdated, I mean when was the last time you ever saw a pro game on delta, slag pits or scrap station.

[Dox]

I really wouldn't panic over the maps. Aseenus knows what he's doing. It'll be fixed.

[EveTechtron]

You should consider adding maps that do not allow for the 3pylon cannon rush, ensuring a better quality of games. !

^^

[YJY]

sweet. will try to attend to 28th of may one. cya guys there

[TargA]

anyone living close to bundoora with a car and attending the event?

[hirako]

Awesome, should be at the last two events because i have exams. I am interested about the melbourne's girl starcraft 2 community

[GGnoRe]

hey targa. just curious which area do u stay around. i saw u in the bracks for monash uni and im studying there atm. =D

[SLCN.CautioN]

next few weeks gonna be practicing hard for this

[Dox]

I'm gonna be coaching my girl over the next few weeks and she'll take out event #6!

[ToRDeathsFang]

Will definately be attending a few of these. Even though i'll just get my ass handed to me

[TargA]

im studying at la trobe ( Bundoora), i think they merged the brackets from a few universities.

[GGnoRe]

oh okay. haha. bundoora is a fair bit north of hawthorn!

[Yoz]

Three tournaments. Three races. Coincidence? I think not!

[fur]

I really like the idea of 3 tournaments run in close succession. It will help develop a local 'scene' much more than the occasional one off tournament.

I also hope they stick with ladders maps. I just never get the chance to play on GSL maps regularly.

Hopefully I'll get along to all 3!

[Eddie]

Been thinking about how 3 tournaments will be great for Melbourne scene too, however i'm a little disappointed that it's only single elimination.

That's $20 for half (say 20/30 people) who will get knocked out straight away. $10 per game of sc, first round done in 30mins? That's not going to do a lot for casual gamers, or even the better players. Luck of the draw too.

A group stage would be awesome, like the last Melbourne tournament i went to. Guaranteed a lot of games, play more people, worth the price of admission. No upsets with 2 good players coming up against each other R1. Even double elim would be better than single.

I'll be there for all 3 still

Single elim for online tournaments, different system for Lan/cafe imo.

Yeah, I must admit that's why I'm feeling a little edgy about the $20 entry fee. For me there isn't much incentive to hang around if I don't have anything to do.

Nevertheless, I do have a friend who's egging me to come, so I'll turn up for the first one at least. The other two depends on how my exams go (since all three are smack bang during my exam period)

Totally agree with this 100%. I'll definitely pass this on to Aseenus at the event if you don't get a hold of him first. This is a *perfect* example of the kind of feedback tournament co-ordinators are looking for.

P.S. Map Pool has changed, we may or may not stick with it.

[Hocus]

hey guys,

i know the peoples that work at ibisq pretty well and am trying to persuade them to accommodate caster(s), they've set up their back room previously for CS tournaments and other shithouse games and they reckon it should be all fine, but just waiting on what the big boss says.

So if any casters that are heading down are interested (by the way im totally butting in, if this has been organised already - my bad) then speak up so i can let them know some, and so we can set the encoders and shit on the comps the night before.

Peace,

Chypre.

Xin Gaming runs events how we see fit, Ibisq is the Venue, they have no say in the matter.

[matthras]

Oooh I wouldn't mind doing some co-casting, although I'm very much an analytical type.

Dox - I don't know how noisy it'll be (I'm hearing impaired, so the noisier the environment, the more I'll NOT socialise with people :P, and since I practically don't know anyone else it is a little out of my comfort zone), but perhaps anyone may like to alleviate these concerns :P.

We appreciate all input from the community however we do not like to do something unless it is done properly, we do have some things planned for these upcoming tournaments to make spectating enjoyable. If you would like to suggest anything further we encourage you to email us at: events@xin-gaming.com

[Nvdeth]

pinder should come and cast imo :P

[SLCN.Kez]

defs +12321764861239712 to the idea of making it groups or atleast double elim, single elim its over way to quick! i dont care bout the money i just wanna play more starfcraft ahha, cya at the 28th guys get practicing!

[Starhunter]

Gooo xin gaming!
They hosted an awesome tournament last time. Good fun, 6 staff from xin gaming running around doing the organizing...a photographer!... AND they invite you out to the pub afterwards!
Ibisq cafe used to be the #1 cafe in melbourne in regards to competitive gaming back in around 2003?04?05? They hosted such events as wcg and a counter-strike league.
They have very dim lighting, a lounge area with a big screen (MTV) with loud music and pool tables. 40-50 comps?
Im sure its changed by now but the set up of the computers will be the worst senario about this event if its still the same. Everytime u want to get to the other side of the room, u need to walk inbetween the rows and knock the bar of everyones chair. Extremly annoying if ur that guy gettin his chair knocked every 10 seconds...

Personally i havent played sc2 since Sydneys tournament but ill definately be there this week for some fun might even have to spectate so i dont humiliate myself

[NvPinder]

But nah, I should be there, won't be able to make the other two (SKI SEASON YO WHOOP WHOOP), looking forward to seeing everyone again .

Also, Starhunter you know as well as anyone its like riding a bike, don't be a pussy :P.

[kellyMILKIES]

Hey dox! if you do go drop us some pictures. we might go down to melb yo cause shadowloo is happening at the same time so we can play at the 25th june one kekeke

[inFeZa]

i'll be attending, dont expect to play my best since i havent been playing recently. see you guys there!

[EveTechtron]

is it still single elimination or has it been changed to doubble elimination or group play?

and have close positions been removed on shattered and metal? (Will you be using the blizzard mappool maps) or the MLG modified?

btw, see you guys on saturday ^^ hype hype

[Eddie]

They updated the map pool to:

1 – Metalopolis
2 – Xel’Naga Caverns
3 – Tal’Darim Altar LE
4 – The Shattered Temple
5 – Shakuras Plateau
6 – Slag Pits
7 – Typhon Peaks

Probably all ladder versions, doesn't specify otherwise. It's bo3, so shouldn't really worry to much about close spawns.

I really wish it is double elim/group stage. You'd have people hanging around longer. Better for Xin, better for the venue, better for the players. Win-win i'd have thought. I have a few casual sc2 mates who i could suggest this too, but not worth it if $20 for 2 games.

[MrBree]

slag pits? wtf.
also needs mlg/gsl versions

[Dox]

I still don't have a computer, so I definitely won't be playing tomorrow. But I will swing by with my camera and take some photos/footage. If the opportunity to commentate is there, I'll do that too.

See you guys there!

[Yoz]

Any spots for this tourney still open? Might join just for the luls.

[Dox]

Decided to sign up to fill spots! They also changed it to double elimination.

First round is about to begin, I'm gonna get destroyed by TAhocus.

[Yoz]

Oh man if it was Double Elim I probs would have tried a little extra to get there ;(

[matthras]

Glad they changed it to double elimination, only 30 people are here so essentially we have the time!

Although I've been knocked out of the tournament already 4 ZvZs in a row, when I thought it was my best match up -_-

[Dox]

Aight I'm out, 0-4 as expected.

Trying to get a look at the upper bracket to see who's winning so far, but they've got the lower bracket on the screen at the moment. Shall post when I find out!

[matthras]

Dox! Asian guy + ponytail in a beige hoodie is me, say hi :P

TAdeth, adRo and infiTargA are through to the 3rd round winners brackets atm.

Also had a teamkill in the first around between TAStarscream and TAamnesiac :P

EDIT: TAdeth and infiTargA through to 4th round. TAamnesiac and adRo gearing up to play their 3rd round match.

Had a fun if brief time there. The venue was great and there was a good atmosphere.

Barring something going wrong I'll be back in a fortnight to hopefully do a little better!

great day, great games, cya all in 2 weeks

[Dox]

Had a great day, met some cool people and caught up with some old friends! Looking forward to the next one... hopefully I'll have a computer by then and I can practice in advance!

If you do come down Riichard, shotgun a rematch from NRG!!!
Just be mindful that even if you win the whole thing, you probably still won't cover your costs. :P

Also sorry to the semi-finalists for not sticking around to watch your games! I hadn't eaten all day and I was dying for dinner.

EDIT: gnsssk is a beast! I reckon deth will still take the win though!

Haha yeah looking forward to the rematch. I was sooo annoyed when I lost the first game against you. Then we had another epic 2 games after ^^ GG!.

Yeah I know it won't cover the costs and it will deeefinately be tough to even come top 3 but it's all for fun and to meet the starcraft guys from melbourne ^^

Holy shit thanks man. I'll be with a mate (TALkori) so if you don't have room for 2 guys we'll probably just find our own place to stay. I'll get back to you on it later. ^^v

Haha thanks mate. I'm surprised by all the nice offers. I'll be sure to offer what I can when people travel interstate to Sydney. =)

Thanks for the greatly run tournament!

Be sure to see me at the next two and hopefully i can take one of them out!

[Tomken]

TargA almost best player.

Any chance of seeing some reps from the finals?

[Dox]

The replays from the previous events were uploaded, I'd imagine these ones will too. I've been refreshing the XIN site hourly so I'll post here once they're up, if Aseenus doesn't beat me to it.

[fur]

Cheers mate

[matthras]

I hope they saved the replay of TAamnesiac v adRo G2...that was a pretty epic late game ZvZ :P

[Dox]

Doubt it, I think you specifically had to ask them to back up your replays. We'll only get semi finals onwards I think.
That game was SO cool though.

[NvPinder]

hohohooooo I completely forgot. whoops. Grats to Dan tho!

[Snx.FigJig]

So for the tournament, you don't sign up or get reservations or anything beforehand do you? You just get there on the day then sign up in person at the place yeah?

Just wanting to make sure before I head down and find out I haven't done something.

Thanks!

[Dox]

That's correct.

[Resistance]

What keyboard and mouse does the lan use? Are you allowed to bring your own if you sign up?

[matthras]

I don't know what keyboard/mouses they use, but you're definitely allowed to bring your own.

Don't forget to take note of the settings (i.e. resolution, mouse speed, etc.) you use as well!

[iSt]

wish i was a girl...

[Fourby]

They just use a standard microsoft optical mouse and media keyboard if i remember correctly.. But yeh bring your own

(DONT FORGET YOUR HEADPHONES).. coz they only have a few to offer and they are really weird lol.

If i was to come in a wig and tight jeans, do you think i would be fit to play in the womens tournament? I mean, i wouldn't half ass it. mascara, some foundation, probably get a nice low-neck top, some earings, a bit of lipgloss and maybe even some perfume... yes/no?

Only a few days left till our #6 Open Starcraft 2 Tournament, make sure you come down to the last hit of our triple combo to play or spectate some great games! Come for the games, stay for the fun!

The first eight players who get knocked out of the tournament will be able to play in two separate Free For All matches (4 players in each match) With the winner of each being awarded a cool Split Reason T-Shirt! Now you have no excuse not to come!

Or you could put all of that energy into forcing some girls you know to enter the All Girls Tournament
