Currently tossing up whether to enter 1v1 or 4v4.

Whoever else here is looking at joining the 4v4, drop me a line - Tom.806 (preferably masters level arranged team and high up in SEA top 200 1v1).

I'm mainly a team gamer, with two Masters arranged 2v2 teams (one with 143-10) and two more that will immediately qualify if those partners ever decide to log on. Also 3175 masters 1v1 with mass unused bonus pool.

YYJ: Bro I would be delighted to be on a team with you, any banter we have in the game wouldn't carry on to real life. However, seeing as you are probably the favourite to take the 1v1 tourney barring nobody coming here from overseas/interstate, I totally understand and agree with your decision to join the 1v1.

When I heard about it is only 1v1 or 4v4 it was quite depressing, the money offered for the 1v1 is much more enticing than the 4v4, but the experience/atmosphere of participating/winning a tournament with a team is priceless. Currently leaning more towards 4v4. Me and Benji are recruiting two players to form a team with us, message me and Benji in game if you are interested!

I'm looking for a team for 4v4 as well. Playing as T, and have been in top 200 for the past 3 months or so.

Francis.978

Let me know, cheers!

I am excited and confused...

Edit: ok the link to NRG works now and it actually looks semi-legit. Wth is going on

This is a legit tournament according to the internet cafe. i have sent them an email and this is there reply:

Hi Dylan,

No it is "for real". I don't know why people are saying that it isn't. It is totally organised by myself and the team at Altech Computers. It will be held at the dates mentioned on the website.

We already have a huge amount of entrants!

I hope this helps with your decision making!

Kind Regards

Ok got some details:

The main way to distinguish whether you are entering 1v1 or 4v4 competition is by simply entering a team name or not. So if a competitor does not enter a team name in the registration form, they will be allotted to the 1v1 tourney.

That was something I was curious about looking at the registration form.

We have 4 main sponsors of the event. Corsair, Logitech, Razer and AMD! All have provided us with certain contributions, and due to Altech’s existing relationship with them, we will be working together to simply put on a successful event. We will be filming the event, so will PC Powerplay and APC. Representatives from other IT publications, such as Atomic will also be present to film. I have spoken to certain members of Team Liquid.net and we are in the process of working something out in that regards. APC and Atomic have already posted articles online.

Curious as to whom they're working with from TL, going to inquire about this.

As far as the prize pool goes, the current plan is: 1st -3rd place in both the 1v1 and 4v4 will be receiving cash prizes. 4th-10th in the 1v1 will be receiving hardware prizes sponsored by Logitech, Razer, AMD and NRG. 4th-6th in the 4v4 will be receiving hardware prizes sponsored by Corsair and Razer.

Bam, thats alot more detailed than what we've heard from before, should help people decide if they're coming or not.

Also

Just on a side note, Razer will be supplying a lot of the gaming peripherals on the day. They have offered to supply InTime Cyber Café with their latest range of mice, keyboards, etc.

To add to what benji posted, I am talking with the sponsor/promo team early next week to try and get the word out about this and give my input so any issues you want raised direct them via PM to me or post here in the thread. I will try and get some more information for the OP so if you want some specifics let me know and I'll see what I can find out.

Also I will be talking with the game scheduler, map and group organisers to give my input there as well to make it more fitting of a competitive SC2 event.

In the meantime just spread the word guys and try and get as big a participation as possible! If it works out well for everyone involved there will be more in the future!

MKP · Thu, 10th-Mar-2011, 3:33 PM

Lionheart · Thu, 10th-Mar-2011, 3:45 PM

most obvious issue is format imo, bo3 single elim for both quals and finals is pretty bad, see if you can convince them to do groups for quals and double elim for finals or something!

also, see if you can get them to get a decent map pool, the maps they plan on using are super outdated T-T
