As do I with being in silver 1v1.

Depending on circumstances I might live stream the tournament this coming Sunday.
I have the Justin.tv app and it allows live streaming from my phone so again depending on circumstances (Internet {with crappy 3 3G} if I'm aloud and others) then I probably wont cast the games but more the atmosphere. Www.Justin.tv/Djvillian

Another thing I have been in contact via emails and the organizers though they have sponsors they don't actually know what their prescense there will be. Possibly not aloud to bring anything of our own. I have asked them to find out and I will let you all know about the use of our own mice and headsets when they reply to me since the rules clearly state we don't have to use theirs.

Well thats ******* rediculous 4 days away from the first qualifier, some of us were actually training 4v4 instead of 1v1.

[ToRDjvillian]

Well I guess it's a good thing that I'm keen for the tournament and spotted this change.

Wasn't this tournament poorly organised from the start anyway?

You may want to check that even though you registered a a team will it be carried over to 1v1 and maybe confirm with intime that this change is legit.

Here's the email they sent me.


Hi,

Thank you for Registering for the NRG Hardcore Gamer Tournament. We hope you are preparing for it!

Unfortunately, several changes have been made to the tournament. We have heard whisperings about competitors not being happy with the maps and also the fact that there is a 4v4 tournament.

We here at Marketing Pro and NRG have decided to rectify these issues. Our updated map list will be going online this evening!

We have also unfortunately, had to eliminate the 4v4 aspect of the tournament. It was simply not viable to hold both competitions. There are now more prizes on offer for the 1v1 competitors, with the same prize pool remaining!

If you have entered the 4v4 competition, you will automatically be allocated a spot in the 1v1 competition.

If you have any questions or queries please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Also, don’t forget to find ‘NRG Hardcore Gaming’ on Facebook!

You can use your own keyboard, mouse and headset.

Best regards

To add clarification to this here is an email from Joseph that I have recieved:
-------
Overnight it came to my knowledge that you can use your own keyboard, mouse, etc, however, the event will be sponsored by Razer, who are supplying keyboards, mice and headsets for all machines at the venue. So there will be brand new Razer gear available to be used!

But like I said, If you are wanting to use your own peripherals please feel free. Just to be clear, this is not a LAN Party, it is a gaming tournament, so there is no need to bring your machine.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Kind Regards

Good luck to those going tomorrow!

This massive lan sounds great. Good that they are taking player feedback onbaord too.

I thought about attending, but have had a very busy last couple of weeks in rl, and have had no time to 1v1 ladder. I'd say i'd be around top 250-400 active Aussie players, not really worth the travel until i get top 150-250 i think. If they decide to run a 2nd one, i might attend that. Would be an awesome experience, and a chance to meet some other players.

Would have been nice if they'd held qualifiers in each main city, then the big tourney in Sydney. Or held the two qualifers Sat/Sun rather than a week apart.

Love that the 1v1 prize pool is so deep.

Good luck to all those going!
