[nirvAnA]

its nice to see another upcoming SG lan tournament!!

[colbat]

thanks sorry for the late update, was freakishly busy with school

[Benji]

Pretty decent tourney, still only less than 10% of the prize we are getting with regular NRG's

[colbat]

thanks sorry, as we're not getting any funding at all , and we've got 3 games more to cover ontop of SC2, we would like to give you guys more cash but we can't ):

[deL]

3 months is a long time between qualifier to finals! That player could have quit by then lol.

[HDPhoenix]

Nice to see this get off the ground, finally! Good job to Donald and Colbat!! I know the difficulties of putting this together.

Big propz to them as they are organizing what they hope to be a true league style play for local Singaporeans, which will included LoL and Blackshot. Do support them cause if it works, they plan to run this for 3rd and 4th quarter of this year as well

[sgLancelot]

This looks like an extremely exciting event! A big thank you to the organizers who make this possible! Hi Donald Hi Colbat!!

[colbat]

lol hi from you 2 sorry DeL , as i mentioned before we do have alot of games to settle in these 3 months and here we've got lots of school work(sadly), but yea i hope they dont drop out half way haha

And yes ! we are organising a series of leagues and qualifiers for all the games in the future

[NDG.Stitch]

Omg this sounds so cool!!!! hahaha can you lucky draw from Hong Kong?

[colbat]

No limitations as to who can qualify but sorry you gotta be in SG for the finals lol, including the lucky draw haha

[OxygeN]

This is actually exicting.!

[EveParachute]

Nice tournament! Are the qualifiers going to be bo3 or bo1?

[colbat]

the rounds will be BO1, as you can join multiple times it won't be much of a problem if you don't qualify

Sorry, didn't realize i didn't mention it.

[sgLancelot]

colbat, do you mind posting the registration details needed so that some of us can help our friends register together? so there won't need to be a wasted trip

[Jabberwocky]

Can't wait for this! Am I right in assuming that the qualifiers are to be played online? How would the registration fee be settled then?

[EscapisT]

REGISTRATION-
- Participants are to register at the Colosseum located at Iluma Level 7.

[colbat]

yup ^^~ Escapist was the only one who read it? lol

[sgLancelot]

no colbat. I meant information required to register at colosseum. eg. ic number, address etc.

[colbat]

As this is a open league, we're not doing any tracking to prevent smurfing as there is no need to we don't really require your particulars ( as far as i know ) just your name and user as well as the registration fee.

If you cant come down, yes get a friend to do it for you why not.

For registration online, we've got no definite way to collect the registration fee so i'm really sorry about that ):

[Xeen]

Well shit, I don't even know if I'll be available for the finals date - pretty close to when I'm moving

[pRoTimber]

if it is impossible to register online, can we ask friends to register for us instead.

[dKiWi]

Dude Colbat, what's up with the gawdawful map pool? Could we get rid of Shit Pits, Failwater Gulch and Delta Quadrant?

[HDPhoenix]

Kiwi, chill out. Just remember Colbat is a FPS player first, SC2 player 2nd. He's not super current on SC2 tournament details. The map pool will be changed to something more tournament standard.

Good luck everyone and looking forward to seeing all of you again at Colo ^_^

[dKiWi]

Yeah dont worry im familiar with his clan. And i was about to bring up some horrendous maps from Blackshot as well, but guess there's no need

[colbat]

LOL , totally agree blackshot's map pool. But yea as i said the pool can change just got back from studies to help out with events again sorry if you hate the map pool.

The maps were taken from the blizz map list D:
If you have suggestions i'm open to them ~

[dKiWi]

Dunnoe, considering its such a big tournament and all, maybe you should consult some of the sc2sea admins here, or do some general research on tournaments hosted on sc2sea.com and other major gaming events such as GSL and DreamHack etc.

But to start things off, get rid of those 3 maps and I will assure u that the quality of the event you are trying to organise will improve by leaps and bounds. If you want to fine tune your map pool, i cant help you there. I only heard that there are some currently in-use tournament maps that are not too balanced for some match-ups, but not too sure.

[colbat]

Yea i;ve gone around the forums stalking posts :x lol, but i've not really seen a map pool thats like totally awesome D:

@Lance, : I've gone down to check, yes you need your IC and name for the registration for some admin purposes, if anything you can ask the colo staff.

[EveRekanise]

sweet. going to be some stiff competition

[HDPhoenix]

Colbat, leave the map pool selection to me We'll talk more

[colbat]

[x5.Revenant]

Would be good if there's more info about the most recent/upcoming qualifier like Players registered, start time for qualifier, channel to join, when the brackets will be announced, etc etc etc. Thanks. (:

QUALIFIERS-

- All players must be online every Sunday to complete their required games.
- Maps to be played for the week will be released for that week itself, Check back constantly to receive an update for the maps.

- Players must PM an admin latest by 6.30pm for that particular Sunday

Hi there,

My 1st post in this forum. A note to point out, 1st June & 1st July does not fall on a Sunday.

I hope all the qns (include map pool) can be confirmed before the 1st qualifiers since 1st May is < 1week away.

Thx

[colbat]

it will be out on the first. As stated if you cant come online during the following times, you are allowed to reorganize your matches to a different time.

[EveParachute]

Hmm im quite confused by the conflicting details being given.

First post states ' Brackets will be drawn up 3 days before the next qualifier at 2400 hrs'

whereas the subsequent post states 'Brackets are randomly generated and will be posted up by 6:25p.m. +8 GMT'

so when would the bracket be posted?

I think allowing players to reorganise their games on a different day/time would cause really bad snowballing/admin problems. Eg say a player postpone his first game to another day, the whole half of the bracket would practically be waiting for that guy. RO64 guy cant proceed until his opp has complete his game and the other RO32 etc cant proceed cause the winner of RO64 is not determined. Just feel its better if there was a fixed staggered timings like GPD open where everyone starts at the same time. There would be little - no snowballing this way ^^

[Mezza]

as a suggestion, just use the TSL3 map pool

crevasse
crossfire se
shakuras plateau
taldarim altar
xelnaga caverns
metalopolis
terminus RE

should be quite okay i think, allow 1-2 vetos i guess? depending on whether BO5/3 etc. then loser pick, very standard. and just pick a map each round to start the games with.

well, just my 2 cents.

[colbat]

Hi muthu, sorry i keyed in the wrong thing as i was keying in other games as well. my bad.

As for the snow balling of games, we would like to try to give the players more freedom for the 1st qualifier.

@ Rev : Yea well i haven't got the players registered yet, Sorry if you were anticipating the brackets.

I would get everything up asap on Saturday or Sunday when i go to WahLian to collect everything.
Things abit messy on my end, very sorry !

[colbat]

Rev : We've decided not to give out the list of who's joining the qualifiers. You'll only get to see who you're playing against on the day the brackets are drawn out.

[colbat]

Update: Please take note that the 1st Qualifiers would take place next week on the 8th of May instead of the 1st of May

[DM.MCZ.Shondy]

if we plan to play the july qualifer do we reg now or later?

[colbat]

Gotta wait till the 2nd one clears to register ^^

[DM.MCZ.Shondy]

oh means there will be another registration open ? don't really understand what you mean sorry xDD

[colbat]

after the 1st qualifier has started, you can then register for the next. Which in this case, 8th of may would be when you can no longer register for the 1st but you'll now register for the 2nd

[DM.MCZ.Shondy]

Ohhh~~ Ok Understood! Thanks A lot

[x5.Revenant]

The May Qualifier for this starts today, yet I don't see any activity from it at all. Sigh.

[Parkson]

Hi colbat, I've registered last sunday but I cant make it to this sunday's qualifier, is it possible that I reschedule my qualifier to the one on 1st June? Thanks

[ProAnnn]

Where are the brackets?

[colbat]

Hi guys, for those of you who don't know already,

We are pushing back the qualifiers to June and are setting it to be on LAN
The finals will be played at LAN as well, and will be in July.

This is to synchronize with the other games running in SCEL, such as Blackshot and League of Legends.

For those that have already or are going to sign up, someone will call you up 2 weeks before hand to remind you of the Qualifiers. So that you no longer need to constantly check back here.

Updates on Qualifier Dates as well as the FINALS will be updated soon

Very sorry for any inconvenience caused.

[simplytemeka]

Well colbat its good that you are finally setting it to be lan and BO3. Since having to pay 10 bucks for an online qualifier at BO1 really wouldn't draw people.

However changing plans at the last minute isn't something I'm kinda fond of, please at least announce your intentions since I was stuck at home waiting and waiting for the competition to commence, seeing the brackets come out only to have the date changed again..

[colbat]

Yes i agree with you and that is why we have decided to work on a LAN qualifier instead.

As for the last minute change, i'm truly sorry if i wasted your night away waiting for the game.

[x5.Revenant]

Just my two cents, but I feel that if each qualifier costs $10(irregardless of whether you've joined a previous one, or not) then you should make it double elimination so that people are actually playing for their money's worth and sometimes not get eliminated due to unlucky brackets.

[simplytemeka]

Okay np and thank you for the change to BO3 / Lan.

Anyway Rev double elimination is good since anyone who meets you first is gonna fro

[colbat]

yup, we're just arranging the dates and settling on the format now. Will be updating soon on Wednesday!

As for the registration for qualifiers, it is extended till june

[colbat]

So sorry guys , but after a great deal of discussion, the decision has been settled that SCEL will not be starting for SC2.

Those who have already paid, just go down to colo to collect your refund.

[EscapisT]

I don't think any word even remotely describes this situation other than,
lol

[HDPhoenix]

Well... that's disappointing... I just talked to Donald today thou and it was still in discussion? Kenneth, did you confirm with Donald about this? Cause I just spoke to him like 4 hours ago

[mGMUSE]

what is the reason for giving up SCEL when all's already in place?

[colbat]

Yes HD! i've spoken to him and as i mentioned before, he essentially tells me what to do lol. He called me during my night class at 10.

Anyway, regretfully this is the decision.

Sadly, due to the very poor response from SC2, they've decided to take down SC2.

[sgLancelot]

I'm extremely disappointed upon hearing the cancellation of this tournament. Initially I was really upbeat about this tournament, and really glad that Colosseum, one of the best lanshops in Singapore are supportive of this great game and it's community. Sadly, from postponing, to even cancellation, and even joseph trying to lend a hand, it all boils down to nothing.

If you think that the Singapore SC2 community are not interested in the tournament, I can tell you this - You are wrong. You should have done a more proper planning, perhaps seeking advice from the more experienced people who've hosted tournaments such as HD (SSL) and myself (Epic tournament). I understand the organizer's need to see a tournament being filled up, to justify it's prize money and products. If you had tried to reach out to more gamers through more channels, or approached some of the clans and groups around in SC2sea, you would see more signups.

I'm really disappointed.

[pRoTimber]

i was...gonna register..lol. anyway, i think u will get a better response if we can register online&make payment online for the online qualifier without having to ask a friend to go up there to help us register.

[OxygeN]

...................

[colbat]

I understand your anger and frustration but i don't think that anyone has mentioned that the community for SG SC2 is bad in anyway. In fact it definetly is much better then 1 of the games imo, in terms of how friendly they are and how enthusiastic.

Yes there were previous compe's that i've helped out in and they've got really awesome sign up's even though it's only been given 1 week for people to sign up. eg: the 2v2 compe and 1v1 Gold and lower leagues last year.

But for this time round, the management has decided that they would like to focus on the other games such as LoL and Blackshot, although not great games imo (esp BlackShot).

As to answer part 2 of your question- "why didn't we consult with HD or you"

I believe that HD has spoken to Donald on several occasions and have talked about alot of things, such as the mechanics and dates and formats. But as to what happened, i've yet to talk to either of them.

In terms of planning, no offense but i'm quite sure HD is more then experienced enough to help Donald out. And as to why you are no longer in EPIC committee or any other organizing committee speaks alot for itself.

As for the future competitions, i would as much as HD, voice out your feedback and comments and hopefully the next time round we would not only be able to get a larger prize pool but more participants as well.

@ProTimber : For the online payment, sadly, the SCEL site is yet to be up so having online payment is not implemented yet.
HOWEVER, the LAN compe(s) coming up towards the end of the year should allow you to pay for them online.

I hope that this would not deter the community from joining future SG LAN competitions.

[colbat]

@oxy D: sorry dude, does it mean you'll still play

[OxygeN]

nopeeeeeeee!
