A tournament where players of all skill come together in my house to drink beer, have a bbq and of course compete for the best trophy in all of eSports history!
The tournament is a local, community tournament. This isn't about the best players coming down, it's about anyone who enjoys Starcraft coming together to play some games, commentate some games, eat some bbq and drink a few beers. You're welcome to come down late to enjoy the atmosphere and drinks, or to come without intending to compete. I'll have 6 PCs set up, most in one room. A casting room (which everyone is encouraged to take a turn in - super casual and fun) as well as a general viewing/chill area with 55-inch TV, and an outdoor area with the BBQ set up.
This one will be a bit better organised with tournament play aiming to finish no later than 22:00. Play will be starting pretty promptly and we'll have a few extra PCs to make sure things move a long a lot quicker.
Date: November 26th Venue: My place, right near Lidcombe Station in Sydney. Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/921321517972815/ Entry: $10-15 to cover beer and food (If you bring a case of beer/bottle of spirits then dw) Format: Groups of 4, best-of-three into single elimination best-of-three is what I'm aiming for. But it's adjustable based on number of PCs I can squeeze in and number of signups.
At the moment it's only open to live attendees as the aim of the event is to be super focused on getting the local scene of ALL skill levels active again.
In future I'd love to do some online cups for community outside of Sydney/Aus to take part in, but for now you guys can just watch our super professional, not at all drunk commentary.
Hope to see you all down here and meet a few new Starcraft lovers!
Only 1 week until the event! It's coming up this Saturday! Make sure you've signed up on the FB event if you're attending so I can get a better idea of numbers, thanks guys!
"Only 2 sleeps to go until PiGSty!
Some details to make sure you're all set for the day!
TIME:
will be kicking off at 10am sharp - so please come bright and early - we're aiming to finish the finals by 9pm this time If you do come later, don't stress - I should be able to slide you into one of the later groups as long as you don't arrive too late!
FOOD/DRINKS:
All food and drinks are provided! I've ordered about 16kg of meat, as well as bread, salads and many cases of beer and soft-dinks. If you have any special dietary requirements, please bring food of your own or be prepared to duck out and buy something from the local shops. There's a subway just around the corner as well as many asian restaraunts (mostly Korean) and some takeaway joints + cafes.
GEAR:
It's advised to bring your keyboard and mouse as well as in-ear headphones or headset as required. If you forget something it shouldn't be hard to find someone willing to lend you theirs.
ADDRESS:
24/26- Mary St, Lidcombe. There'll be signs out front directing you to my unit. About a 5 minute walk from the station.
DO I HAVE TO PLAY TO ATTEND?
You don't have to, but there's no elitism at this event. We have a mix of bronze players who have barely paid lotv right through to experienced GMs and progamers. The event is all just about having fun playing some video games and eating and drinking together.
CAN I BRING A FRIEND?
Any people that aren't dicks are more than welcome, this is an open event to all gaming and Starcraft fans
