You're all good MazEi.
Always a hassle combating smurfs considering the quality of the coaching prize =)
As long as you haven't been dropping games or holding off laddering to keep in the lower leagues, dropping league ranking when switching races is expected and fine.

Yeah the z33k thing is really stupid to use. Half the links download as files instead. Just download the file and open it in notepad. There will be a web address in there where you should be going. Just bookmark the important places to make it easier to get to next time.

Try this

The z33k site is being updated a lot at the moment as they try to add new games and features.
Sometimes the small updates create small, yet very annoying, bugs due to browser differences. My apologies for any troubles it causes you =\

GL HF tonight everyone, five and a half hours left to register and about ten slots left to register in. Remember that check-in is required for this tournament and will open an hour before the scheduled start time.

breadfan · Sat, 14th-Jan-2012, 12:41 PM

It might also be browser specific issues. If you have another browser, try that?

I use chrome and haven't had probs so far.

Quick Comments

AsylumofSouls:

The devs probably test it in Chrome, I haven't had many small troubles either =)

AsylumofSouls · Sat, 14th-Jan-2012, 5:00 PM

Check in for Jan 14th is now OPEN. Check in before start or you won't get bracketed =)

Hello Friends!

Congratulations to Venom who last night fought his way through the whole of the losers bracket after being knocked down in the first round and took both grand final sets 2-0 over XiaXue.

XiaXue did not drop a single game until the grand final sets showing excellent skill all night long and looked to be well in front in the first grand final match until a bad engagement cost him his entire army and Venom's macro pushed the game in his favour. Venom followed this first game with some strong one base play and proved too strong for XiaXue in the end. Well done to both players.

Thank you all for playing, I have updated the OP with details and links to the next tournament. I hope to see you all this coming Saturday

There are links to you and Unique's twitch pages in the table of the original post plus a link to the twitch.tv account the BlitzKrieg and my semis/final cast uploaded to; just check the previous videos, last night should be in there. I'll work on splitting the vids this week and uploading them to my YouTube once the kids go to DayCare on Wednesday =)

EDIT: Sound on the cast Blitz and I did is way not levelled so will not upload this week's matches to YouTube =(
You're still welcome to watch the vids on BlitzKrieg's twitch account though (linked in OP) if you can handle the sound levels.

Yeah it was playing up last night also when I was watching the recording of your stream. It played fine for an hour or so then just stopped loading. I had to refresh the page about every 10min or so after that until the last 40 min where it ran smooth again. Annoying =\

I enjoyed watching your stream by the way. When you're talking about your game it's very informative and a good insight into how a protoss player thinks.
Also, the bits where you weren't playing were like a behind the scenes look at what people are thinking while they're in my tournament waiting for matches and whatever

Very interesting for me in particular; probably not for anyone else =P

I will be uploading to YouTube myself, after fixing sound levels. Bit more work involved so will keep posted

Also yes, lots of twitch issues this weekend for all aussie streamers

AsylumofSouls:

Awesome man. They were some good games even if our commentary is amateur at times =P

AsylumofSouls · Thu, 19th-Jan-2012, 8:13 AM

Hey bronze silver and gold players.
It seems that many of our ranks have been promoted into platinum so there are quite a few places left in Saturday's tournament.
Everyone legitimately in bronze, silver and gold are eligible to play and win the prize so get the word out guys! Tell your friends, tell randoms, tell people on ladder (the ones you beat of course =P).
The night is more fun with a full tournament
