We work with what we have to work with, at the end of the day it is another nice cash prize tournament for the Australian StarCraft 2 tournament - of which takes alot of hard work to organise, prep, plan, and convince a lovely company to commit to.

With the complete lack of organisation and the short notice you aren't going to get the top of the SC2 community. You're going to get the few people who live close enough, or who are lucky enough to be able to make it. A prize pool that big, shouldn't be given out to any random joe who can actually make it in the 10 days notice that was given.

Kudos to the prize pool and the idea, but the execution was abysmal.

Going to do my best to send a player, and whilst I agree it is VERY last minute which makes is VERY difficult, the prizepool is big enough to force us to try to send someone.

Thank you very much Benji, Apologies for the short notice, I understand how difficult it can be to organise players/flights/accommodation at such short notice.

Duely noted, and as much as I would have loved to have more time to organise and inform the community about this tournament, this was not the case. At the end of the day this prize pool will be greatly eclipsed as the events continue to increase in regularity and size, so there will be plenty of opportunities for other players who could not make this tournament to have a go at other tournaments!

Once again apologies for the short notice, I am just greatful to have such a nice prize pool tournament to work with.

I just want to stress that whilst I may be able to get a player there, this won't fly next time. Do my player(s) need to email to accept invites or something? And can i get details of the event? (i assume some form of map pool, bo?, expected running time etc?)

NvPinder · Tue, 20th-Sep-2011, 6:09 PM

I thought they just gave it to you in $5 notes. How else would you spend it at a strip club?
