Hi, I've got no idea how these things usually work and this seems as good a place as any to ask. Do these types of tournaments usually turn into social events? or is it just a place for the top-200 list to grind some money?

I'm only a diamond scrub but I can come along no problems, just wondering if its worth it without knowing anyone.

Has anyone actually entered a Lan SC2 tournament before?
The last tourney I went with a SC2 Lan, failed because Blizzard blocked the same IP from having multiple logins (Only 2 could log-in at a time or so)

I don't want to see this problem at this tourney either,
Can anyone confirm?

[Eddie]

I've been to two, both ran fine. 1st one was 20-30 people, 2nd just over 40.

[Lionheart]

Cool, cool, hopefully this one goes smoothly for the SC2 division of the tournament!

I'm still after a team btw.

if anyone is interested PM me please.

Why be Benji's #4 when you will always be my #1?

I'm tempted to go, I'd love to do coverage with a site/org if possible. Just need to get the people running it to realise that the way they're choosing to do this is beyond terrible and needs major reformation and real publicity instead of a months notice to everyone for the largest tournament we've seen in the country.

There's always plenty of lower level people even a few bronze/silvers show up, and many people just come to hang around and spectate. It should be great fun if you like starcraft your bound to have fun.

Map pool:

Blistering Sands
Delta Quadrant
Lost Temple
Metalopolis
Steppes of War
Scrap Station
Xel naga Caverns
Shakuras Plateau

Could everyone please join me in contacting the organisers (yoyo.zhang@intimegroups.com)and DEMANDING that they fix this completely imbalanced map pool! So far the organisers have replied to emails from several angry sc2 players with:

"these maps were in the ladder before, so it should be ok"
- (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/view...&currentpage=2)

Let's try and imagine some problems with these maps:
1) Steppes of war, rush distance = 1 screen, zerg will auto-lose against a solid T or P.
2) Lost Temple, cliff drop on natural = gg
3) Delta quadrant = so many ways for terran to drop and abuse helions or seige tanks in close positions that it is simply retarded.

There are also no vetoes!

For such a big tournament with big sponsors and coverage to actually promote imbalanced play and random game modes such as 4v4 it makes me sad and angry. As one of the top zergs on SEA my hopes of success were dashed upon seeing this ridiculous decision by the organisors. If a zerg hits the top 8 it will be due to a mix of truly spectacular play and raw luck.

I'm sure P and T recognise imbalances and lack of depth in gameplay on these maps so please PLease reply with what YOU think is wrong with this map pool.

On a further note whilst you can bring your own mouse and headphones(Who cares?) you HAVE to use their keyboards.

Yesterday I was at the City hunter charity LAN and forgot to bring my keyboard. I was playing at a much lower skill level than normally until i ducked home during lunch and got my own keyboard, following with a huge jump in my apm and skill. I was simply lucky to only vs players much lower then me to this point. From this point i won the tournament, using the equipment I TRAINED on for the last 6 months.

As someone said on TL this is like taking the favoured joggers off of an olympic sprinter right before his race.

We need to get vocal about demanding the correct professionalism and organisation from an event that is getting huge sponsorship.

If the event proceeds as planned it may actually be a step backwards for e-sports in Australia as the rest of the world watching on TL will realise just how BACKWARDS we are. First we banned L4D2, now we can't even update a goddamn map pool.

I am bloody angry please join me in contacting the organisers and getting it fixed!
