Erhmm · Mon, 21st-Mar-2011, 4:54 PM

I registered and intended to go.. but now having second thoughts after reading the 2nd qualifier's gonna be tough. >_<

If i can wake up i will be there

ROOT`iaguz · Mon, 21st-Mar-2011, 6:44 PM

I went 6-2 in my games. I didn't have to play against a 4th person, so I suppose I'm technically 8-2, but w/e.

I threw a game against an incredibly ******* obvious proxy 4gate against one of those Protoss's and I threw a tvt despite having these massive advantages, because I didn't maintain enough mobile aggression against his tank wall of impending doom, but I won all my bo3's so w/e. I shoulda lost one other TvT, I was about to tap out and then the other guy threw his army into a planatary fortress so I could actually get a round of units out and keep going. Kinda helpful when that happens.

I suppose the highlight of my matches may have been accidentally scouting a 2rax all in and then accidentally scouting his 4 rax marine/scv all in followup. I don't usually scout for proxies in TvT, but I do like to keep an scv hidden somewhere in the map to check his ramp and natural occasionally. There just happened to be a rax right there!

My lowlight was protoss. He's playing in the computer directly opposite me. I can lean over and hit him with something heavy, note. I check the replay on the third game. He builds ONE Stalker, then a second gateway, a robo, a twilight council and the dark shrine. STILL AT ONE STALKER. ARGH. COULD JUST KILL HIM WITH, OH I DUNNO, ONE MARAUDER AND ALL MY SCVS. MAYBE DROP IN A MULE, SEND HIM ALONG FOR SOME JOLLIES. MAYBE GET A REAPER IN HIS BASE. KILL ALL THE ******* PROBES.

I slip in an scv (for the third time that series, you'd think he'd learn) and he cancels the Dark Shrine and switches to blink stalkers to get into my main on The Shattered Temple.

WHAT THE **** IS THAT SHIT?

I still win, pretty easily admittedly, but still. Argh. Protoss. So lame.

**iM tgun** · Mon, 21st-Mar-2011, 6:57 PM

I'll be there.

EDIT: Iaguz, if you see this, what was the map for each first set in the bo3's?

ROOT`iaguz · Mon, 21st-Mar-2011, 7:21 PM

Metalopolis. They might switch it up though, but it was metal the whole day.

YJY · Mon, 21st-Mar-2011, 9:03 PM

Anyone have any insight on the foreigners?

Breaker.846 · Mon, 21st-Mar-2011, 9:39 PM

Add LAGbreaker & LAGberimbau to the list

deL · Mon, 21st-Mar-2011, 10:26 PM

Shuffle might be there.

aztecx · Tue, 22nd-Mar-2011, 1:37 AM

I think I most likely will come and watch. I didn't come and watch the finals of the last comon tournament so I'll make it up by watching this week of qualifiers

**Dox** · Tue, 22nd-Mar-2011, 10:01 AM

Updated OP again! Race breakdown is looking very even so far.

My goal for the day is to land one reasonably successful nuke.
Aside from that I don't see myself getting very far.

**iM tgun** · Tue, 22nd-Mar-2011, 11:53 AM

I'm zerg now, bro.

YJY · Tue, 22nd-Mar-2011, 12:13 PM

Sixth, LAGWakinLife and LAGbreaker talk a little about the implications of SK Gaming and Fnatic guys coming down to compete in NRG. We're trying out a new 'This just in' type of segment for the Tea Party so please check out it out below:

P.S. Assuming this shit finishes reasonably early, I reckon we should all head out for some drinks afterwards. I'm flying out at like 7PM on Sunday night. Hopefully we have enough time!

Ahahaha yeah, it's this simple :P You're basically on the same road that the netcafe is on once you walk out of central station, just have to take 1 turn. It's a little tricky to find as it shares an entrance with a szechuan restaraunt.

I can meet you at the train station as well if you'd like Starhunter

**Dox** · Sat, 26th-Mar-2011, 4:18 PM

Awkward, was just packing my stuff as I'm about to head to the airport and I discovered that my housemate has my camcorder, and he's at work until midnight.

Looks like I won't be able to do any video interviews until the finals.

Thanks to everyone for the great time today, it was nice to meet some new people and even more awesome to catch up with Filthy/StarHunter/Babs/Ronk/WoBBLy again after not seeing them in so many years!
Could someone please let me know who qualified from the non-bolded groups in my post above?

Does anyone know what group WoBBLy was in? He qualified, but he didn't appear in any of the groups. Leads me to believe I missed one altogether.

Crankenstein · Mon, 28th-Mar-2011, 6:49 AM

Woo! A member of the UQ Starcraft Society has qualified.

WE GOT THIS.

myth_au · Mon, 28th-Mar-2011, 7:41 AM

General turnout of the day!
It was an awesome Sunday (even though it said it starts at 9 (which we can all agree is too early...)). It was good to see that there are so many more active gamers in Sydney (and from interstate). A lot more turned out then other comps i've been too.

The facilities at In Time Cyber is plus (beats the 3+ year old comps at City Hunter).

With regards to organisation, i think it could have been done abit better (such as the groups/brackets could have been organised before hand). However, from a positive perspective, the organisers were very helpful, friendly and for the most part knew what they were doing.

Result
I agree with TAScarecrows' result for group H (see above post).

After seeing alot of the other games, there are so much high talent. Some shocking results. I didn't know many people there but of the ones i knew that i watched i was quite surprised. For example, I say a couple of game of nGenbenji and it was so intense and very long games, which i didn't expected. I can see that the finals will be even more intense and, of course, alot more enjoyable!

Tom · Mon, 28th-Mar-2011, 8:23 AM

For mine, the player of the day (and definately one to watch from here on in) was FXOtgun, who took down FXOFilthy 2-0 in practice, and YoonYJ 2-0 in the qualifiers (I believe finishing 10-0 all up?) I don't want to take anything away from YJY who admittedly appeared to me to be having some mouse issues those games. His zvt is obviously is very good shape.

nGenStarhunt and REQShuffle also 10-0'd their groups I believe. So along with aLtPiG, look out for a zergslide at the finals!

Not to take anything away from Shuffle, but he dropped 2 games to Sanchez.

Aside from that I think he destroyed the rest of our group.

Can anyone help out with the last few missing people here?

Never played anyone called Nguyen or ylbbow. Check my match history for the other 2 players, as far as who qualified, The Protoss that I 2-0'd didn't make it and Avanar came 5th (But got a wildcard seeding into the finals or something).

**Dox** · Mon, 28th-Mar-2011, 9:20 AM

Aight thanks, I'll check out your match history when I get home from work and try to figure it out.

The last qualifier for group E was Combatwombat. He, myself and ballmouse tied for 4th place but I forfeited my matches because I had to go, and was also not able to participate in the main event next weekend. Gratz to all qualifiers

TAzain wasn't in this group, ktux was.
iCHORoneHand was also in the group.
A guy called Thrasher was in the group too.
There wasn't anyone called heLp.

Qualifiers were:
nGenStarhunter
Danmate
LAGberimbau
iCHORoneHand

**iM tgun** · Mon, 28th-Mar-2011, 12:33 PM

heLp was there, I know that much. Not sure if he qualified.

**Dox** · Mon, 28th-Mar-2011, 12:53 PM

Hmm, they must have changed the groups around after I copied them down in the morning.

Yeah I met heLp at like 10:30AM, he was definitely there, but he mentioned he was only able to stay for 1-2 hours. he probably had to leave before we even started playing.

Thanks for the updates, editing my post now!

TAriiChard · Mon, 28th-Mar-2011, 2:09 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong but i think at the end of the day there was a pool of 3 players of which 2 qualify.

In the pool were TAcawkballs, TAavanar and heLp.

TAavanar > TAcawkballs
TAavanar > heLp
TAcawkballs > heLp

Thus TAavanar and TAcawkballs got through to next weeks finals.

TAavanar · Mon, 28th-Mar-2011, 2:14 PM

im sorry if help is reading this i had to 4gate him twice cuz i had to go quickly

sorry man

**nGenLight** · Mon, 28th-Mar-2011, 2:22 PM

Why on earth you apologizing for 4gating. Your reminding me of the Gold Zerg in my group that came up and said "Sorry I won't ever do it again" after 6pooling me twice, if you can hold this stuff, it just means a quick victory!

lol i dunno i jus feel bad for doin that

Tom · Mon, 28th-Mar-2011, 3:53 PM

When you win with 4gate, I believe it is correct to type "GG OWNED SCRUB L2P". At least that is my impression from playing on NA.

If you lose to 4gate, omit "GG OWNED" but otherwise repeat.

Seeding in the finals will be decided by qualified rank from the qualifiers.

**Dox** · Tue, 29th-Mar-2011, 9:23 AM

Hmmm, so aside from Azz, there are 8 seeded players yet to be revealed.

The NRG site still says "vT Gaming and South Korean masters!"

**Dox** · Tue, 29th-Mar-2011, 9:48 AM

Much to my own embarassment, I just realised ylbbow is WoBBLy backwards. No wonder I couldn't find Tim in the list!

YJY · Wed, 30th-Mar-2011, 8:52 PM

well everyone can kiss their chances goodbye for 1st. My sponsoring team flew ST_ace from GSL and IEM5 to this tournament.

Hocus · Wed, 30th-Mar-2011, 9:09 PM

ace is free win, anyone else?

Hocus · Wed, 30th-Mar-2011, 9:10 PM

seriously though, how can they not have a stream for this..

Rhodan · Wed, 30th-Mar-2011, 9:12 PM

Wow Ace is going? Pretty interested to see who the other invitees are

Any last comments?
o I want to thank my practice partners, TSL_Clide, ST_Squirtle, and ST_Bomber. ST_Ace will be going to Australia for an event so I hope he wins and brings back many goodies. But today, I think I should buy my teammates some good food.

Wow a real pro-gamer, this is huge. I think I'd rather be watching than playing now.

Its a real a shame some of the very top notch aussies like jesse/edge/spidereight/pinder aren't playing, all the more so now that there are some serious pros playing (not saying anything bad about the guys who are playing, you all rock too!)

FlashDrakE · Thu, 31st-Mar-2011, 11:14 AM

oh wow stace is playing

_francis · Thu, 31st-Mar-2011, 12:07 PM

I'm at intime cyber cafe right now. Apparantly 6-7 internationals are coming. They're getting the names at 2 o clock, I'll update this thread when I find out.

They also have a massive amount of boxes for razer gear which they're gonna upgrade too. Looks like it's gonna be a good tourney!

myth_au · Thu, 31st-Mar-2011, 12:57 PM

Well i think this is the largest SEA tournament we've had. I know its the largest Australian one at least.

I am very interested to see who the international gamers are (the pro-gamers).

Can't wait to meet them and play with them.

deL · Thu, 31st-Mar-2011, 1:09 PM

It's hardly a SEA tournament if there are 8 international invites.

I should've qualified my statement. i meant money wise.

deL · Thu, 31st-Mar-2011, 1:13 PM

Uhm... I wasn't really disputing the size of it, just that's it's not really a SEA tourney lol.

myth_au · Thu, 31st-Mar-2011, 1:18 PM

I am abit surprised that there hasn't been more coverage or better organisation of the competition.

Likely its been advertised for some time but there really isnt much info and we are 2 days out from when it starts.

I have so many unanswered questions, like:

1. Who are the international players?
2. Where are the brackets (who is playing who)?
3. how long will it go for? (i doubt it will finish all in one day). There are 64 qualifiers + 8 inter. with BO3 and BO5s. I think it will span for 2 days but i could be wrong.

I really wish they did some commentating of the games, live stream it or something. i just feel as though the word hasn't go out.

NvRossi · Thu, 31st-Mar-2011, 1:21 PM

Wow i'm looking even more forward to this tournament. cant wait to be knocked out by a international, its going to be so much fun. i hope all the top sea get knocked out by an international so that 1st, 2nd and 3rd are all from overseas. will make it extra special.

The fact that you think spidereight / pinder are somehow better than (or even close to) Azz/Filthy is kind of distressing.

But yeah, I'm pretty excited to play the Koreans. I think it's stupid as **** to tote it about as a SEA tourney and then fly in 4 progamers, but I'm still confident.

Tom · Thu, 31st-Mar-2011, 1:55 PM

Actually I was trying not to say anyone was better than anyone!

That aside, I recall hearing last week this is going to be the first of many tournaments, and that future tournaments will have qualifiers in various states so interstate players aren't disadvantaged.

_francis · Thu, 31st-Mar-2011, 1:56 PM

Well unfortunately he didn't receive the names before I left. I'm looking forward to all the new razer stuff

Benji · Thu, 31st-Mar-2011, 1:56 PM

Just give me a foreign Zerg and i'll turn it into 7 invites left

The marketing manager confirmed to me at the event that there will be two events a year, with 1 more this year ofcourse. i believe it will remain as starcraft for the first year for sure, but it may include more games in the future.

i also talked to the marketing manager about this, he said that all the computers will be equipped with razer gear, i believe Headset,mouse and keyboard.

you are allowed to use your own gear if you prefer however.

I highly doubt this, while it would be awesome if it were true. i just dont see the business sense behind it to not expect much more coverage for the amount they are putting in.

for example

1) no stream. the last fxo event for $1500. got over 200k hits on the stream let alone the amount of advertisement and exposure it got. for $20k you should be aiming at a much higher number.

2) the date, they scheduled it on the same date as MLG, = not many views even if there was a stream. while forgivable as mlg was announced recently more thought needs to be given next time.

3) no brackets and its still only 2 days away???? wtf

4) no interviews/news etc no hype at all from what i can see.

5) they had the worst map pool and only after so many poeple said so. yes its good that they changed it, but for this amount of $$ you should be researching your market first.

6) unless ive missed it, i still have no clue what kind of format they are running, this will run very late into the night if its your standard 64 man single elim bo3 where is the organisation??????

like i said i really do wish for more events like this in the future, however from a business point of view i cant see it being worth it without all of the above being fixed.

I agree with you completely. At the very least have some commentaries. Even if it is post commentaries. Secondly, they gotta at least release the replays from the qualifiers and the match too. I had to take email my own replays. I think with better organisation it would be 1,000,000 times better!

Ppl like Kelly and Benji and other (there was another lady the commentated that i've heard, cant believe there are so many female commentators in SEA o.O) can commentate.

To err on the side of caution i might bring along my own keyboard and mouse (so use to my settings =P)

**iM tgun** · Thu, 31st-Mar-2011, 2:16 PM

I've sent off the replays of myself v YYJ in the qualifiers to Benji, he'll probably cast them after the tournament is over (as I'm sure he's practicing hard aswell).

When I first heard about it, it was already too late to sort out casting. To cast at a LAN you need preperation, casting a LAN from home is just a waste as you miss half the fun of it, and casting at a venue is difficult due to internet and computer restrictions.

I also doubt anyone would fly Kelly to the event with myself and Unstable so close.

Totally understand. Just i would figure the sponsors given the prize pool would want max exposure.

Cost benefit ration really is my point.

I wouldnt mind getting involved or contributing more from an organisational point of view to make things like this better.

Starhunter · Thu, 31st-Mar-2011, 4:26 PM

Im already onto it! Ive been talking to Nick Popov the marketing director after this week we will be in talks on how to improve the next tournament for both max exposure and gamers convenience!

I have my camera, but unfortunately my microphone is nowhere to be found. Late notice, but if anyone has a microphone they can bring along so I can plug it into my camera, that would be extremely helpful. Built-in microphones for camcorders are rubbish, and don't cancel out background noise.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I won't be able to conduct any interviews without it (maybe in the elevator lol?) so please, if anyone can help!

**Eddie** · Fri, 1st-Apr-2011, 5:32 PM

Bracket for main event already release, please check www.intimecyber.com. There is double elimination for the main event.

Oh jesus. Terran vs Terran round 1.

**Dox** · Fri, 1st-Apr-2011, 8:29 PM

I made a cleaner version of the brackets in-case anyone has difficulty reading the one posted on the in-time site. I'll be saving a copy to my desktop tomorrow so I don't have to get up and look at the TV's to see the brackets. (Lazy + Overcrowded!)
