nRv Invitational Tournament ($300 Prize pool!)

After some time planning we're finally ready to unveil the nRv Invitational! These players have been hand picked by the leaders of nRv and the prize pool has come out of our own pockets (myself, Reere, and Peek).

We would have loved to invite many other players to this tournament and we know some of you may be disappointed that 'X' player isn't in the player list, but these are the players we have chosen to invite. However, not only is this tournament meant to provide entertainment for our viewers and fierce competition, but also to give the spotlight to some players we believe have deserved it and can compete with the best of SEA.

Thanks for saying this but you shouldn't say "this person should've been invited". Chances are they have considered that player already and there must've been a reason why they didn't.

Questioning invites in public not the best thing you should do..

Looking forward to this tournament. My guesses are Glade Mafia Pig Targa top4 in no particular order!(All zergs? of course.)

True, had a bit of a blank on how double elim in regards to finals is done. Got mixed up with single elim for some reason. OP updated.

Hi Demzy!

You made a post on cybergamer regarding our selection process, so I thought I would address it here since I don't have a cybergamer account along with some other posts.

Here is your quote from cybergamer.

Why no Supremacy players or more different teams at least? I would've though you would expand your reach beyond 3-4 teams...especially since we declined some of these players and also bet their team(s).

Unfortunately we do did not invite players on a team basis, we invited the players we like to watch and also have consistent results in the SEA area, specifically Australia. So teams really do not make a difference here as it is a 1v1 tournament. In terms of your team "declining" players I'll give you the list of non nRv people we chose to invite.

6. cRSenSei
7. xGKingMafia
8. xGKingIaguz
9. xGKingLight
10. TtPiG
11. NvmOOnGLaDe
12. NvRossi
13. NvDeth
14. NvYoonYJ
15. SQLyang
16. MfTargA

No offence to you, but I highly doubt these players applied for supremacy and if they did I definitely doubt you would decline them.

To other people who are wondering the selection process we wanted a rounded tournament. There is no doubt that if Pickle actually picked the players with the highest rankings in Australia/SEA the entire tournament would be mainly ZvZ. We did not want this and tried to pick players from each race to enable more variety with the matchups and hopefully make it more interesting for the viewers/players. People like tgun, Jazbas, Pokerface, Edge and Ninja (to name maybe half of the zergs) missed out due to this.

I hope this clears up some of the concerns regarding our selection process!

My favourite quote. :P

This looks cool.

[SLCN.Kez]

A team's invitational tournament or any invitational tournament for that matter shouldnt need to justify why it invited xyz player if its holding any x-amount of prize pool. It's only doing good for the players and spectators who watch it. That being said, you do give good justification for why nrv chose the players they did!

[NDG.Stitch]

a SEA tournament with no players to represent a single asian country? nuuuuuuu!!!!!

The recently announced Gigabyte Tournament has a qualifier on the 2nd of June, are any participating players going to enter that qualifier? If there are enough that are the date will be changed for this invitational, if only a few we will find replacements for those players.

Thanks!

Thanks!

[Snx.FigJig]

http://www.sc2sea.com/showthread.php?t=4630 is the link sorry.

[PiG]

np saw it right after i posted. Yeah i'll be playing that qual if i don't get top 3 at the first one.

[iM MaFia]

Pretty sure I am and most ppl would be

[iM MaFia]

Also you sure about bo5 for semis and finals it's double elim already. Could go forever

[Snx.FigJig]

Yeah true, may change it to BO3 if that's the case.

Also, does 16th of June work for you guys? No other commitments/tournaments on that day?

Quick Comments

cRSenSei:

Sounds fine to me.

[PiG]

Sorry I didn't see your last post here trent!

16th June would be fantastic I just had another tournament pop up on 2nd June!

[aLtNinja]

I want to play
EDIT: oh i read thread and gigabyte tourney same day, i don't care anymore.

[Snx.FigJig]

Date has been changed to 16th of June, if anyone is unable to make this date please post in this thread.

Changes: Semis+finals will be changed to BO3.

[Snx.FigJig]

Seems like Gigabyte has changed their qualifier dates and now clashes once again, change to 17th or the following week on the 23rd. Any preferences?

Sorry for the inconvenience guys.

[PiG]

17th looks free atm, should b aite

[Dox]

The only event in my calendar for the 17th is the ACL Adelaide Regionals - should be totally fine.

[Snx.FigJig]

I dont think there are any participants from Adelaide, will double check. If there arent any shall change the date to then. Thanks for the replies.

[zenabi]

btw, it should be cRSanG now, not NaZSanG

[Snx.FigJig]

After seeing Dox's blog (big thanks to Dox!) showing upcoming events seems like the 17th of June is a good date, especially since we have no players from Adelaide.

Date changed (hopefully for the last time ><) to Sunday, 17th of June.

[Snx.FigJig]

Change: Fenner has taken neKo's spot as he has opted to pull out of the tournament. IrisAnother replaces Light. EveStrafe replaces cRSang. ToRBaldie to now cast with MiPhoenix.

[Snx.FigJig]

Just wanted to remind everyone about the tournament and to be in the channel 'nRv Invitational' on the SEA server 15mins before starting time just so it can run smoothly and start without delay. Also, if any players are now unable to make this time could they please PM me to avoid no shows/walkovers so we can organise replacements.

Thanks !
