[FaDeMuss]

Sup sons!!!!!! Welcome to the first ever
Bronze and Silver

Open

Hosted by
FaDeMuss

The sc2sea Bronze/Silver Open is here to give the lower skill spectrum of our BSG players an opportunity to test their mettle against players of similar skill in a tournament format. This also provides a good lead up to the widely known sc2sea BSG. Usually this tournament would be hosted for the glory of being a tournament winner, but for the next two weeks, I will be offering some sweet prizes!!

Date: Friday March 16th 2012.
Time: 8pm ; 5pm ; 10pm

+ [Details] +

Location: SEA Battlenet server
Restrictions:You must be in either Silver league or Bronze league (1v1, SEA license) to play. People who were previously Gold in seasons 1-5 are eligible to join the tournament, but if your play is found to be well above Bronze or Silver level, you will be disqualified and any prizes won will be voided.

Chat channel: sc2seaopen

+ [Rules] +

• You must contact your opponent either via pm or the sc2seaopen chat channel.

• After the tournament start, you have 15 minutes to start your matches, if your opponent cannot be contacted after 10 minutes, he/she will be disqualified and a backup player will fill the spot. If a player cannot be found, you will advance into the next round.

• Casters, myself and tournament admins are always allowed to spectate games, and are the only permitted specators, no exceptions.
• You may switch races between the beginning of the tournament and the RO16. From the quarter finals onwards, switching of race is not permitted.
• Problems/Questions: Contact an admin for any questions or problems. If it is in-game related i.e: potential smurfing or hacking, contact us asap and upload your replay of your game for myself and casters to review.
• Post-Match report: report any results to me via PM
• Disconnects: If your opponent dc'es you must replay your match. If he dc'es a second time, you will be awarded a free win (1 game, not a whole series eg: semi-finals). A free win my also be awarded if your opponent was at a severe disadvantage at the time of disconnection. PM an admin if you're not sure.
• Pauses: you may pause during a game, with a maximum time of 5 minutes. You must let your opponent know that you're pausing, and excessive pausing will result in an instant DQ.
• Bad Manner: 1st instance will be a warning. Any further BM will be an instant disqualification. Any comments which are deemed by the admins as racist, hateful, or excessively derogatory will lead to an instant disqualification and a ban from future sc2sea opens hosted by myself. We're here to have fun, and it would be nice if we can keep it that way.
• Replays: should be saved until at least the next tournament. If an admin asks for a replay and you are not able to supply a copy, you may be banned from future events hosted by me and any prizes won voided.
• Hacking/Smurfing:This is purely for the entertainment of those competing and to give the Bronze/Silver players a chance for some decent practice against people of similar level. You must play on your own account. Anyone caught smurfing (using a bronze/silver account to play when your play level is well above this level) will be banned from future events hosted by myself, and have their details reported to the sc2seaBSG host and the BSG smurfers thread. For everyone's sake, grow a pair and l2play at your own level. Hacking (stream cheating in this instance is hacking) in any instance (maphack, production tab/observer hacks etc,) will not be tolerated. Anyone caught hacking will be banned from future events hosted by myself, and will most likely be banned from any sc2sea events in the foreseeable future. You have been warned.

About Me
I'm a top gold random player, who is currently versing (and beating) platnium players on 1v1 ladder. Recently on the NA 1v1 ladder, was placed in diamond 1v1 as protoss. As for achievements on SEA, i've won 3 BSG opens, and won sc2sea's first ever BSG Cup, where I donated the winnings to sc2sea, so that they can continue doing an awesome job. I'm here to help out the lower skill level of sc2 in the hopes that you all improve, and one of the ways that you can do so is with practice, and some of the best practice comes out of tournament experience. After the tournament if you would like me to review a replay of a match that you played, by all means email it to me at madmilk@hotmail.co.nz and i'll review the replay and get back to you. As I'm rather busy with work and my passion for music, I may not reply immediately. Just include in the email, your ingame name, race and why you would like me to review your replay.

Wasn't the nz cup last night? People don't have to play in the tournament or watch the nz cup, there's no obligation to do either.

Yeah, but its every week for about 6 weeks is all.

It's all good man, I was just kidding really. And if fact if the NZ Cup wasnot on a Friday I'd be playin!

Weekend events are primetime mate - it's great if event organisers can try to come up with a unique time, but sometimes it's just not possible, especially with as many events as we have (we are spoiled for choice!). In both events' cases surely the important thing is being able to get the maximum number of eligible players playing, which is the biggest influence on time. I don't think the NZ Cup is focused on B/S players anyway, so there shouldn't even be any problems with stealing each others' players. No point in getting upset about this sort of thing IMO

Fingers crossed this becomes somewhat regular as it is an awesome idea and a good warm up for Saturdays BSG. Bit hard pressed to get off early enough to be home in time for this though (WA)

Good luck to all of those involved and mad props to those making it happen!

I was told by a friend who's game you sat in that you were getting footage for youtube or something alike may I have a link to where I can find that when its up?

[ToRFutureBoy]

Thanks to Muss and breadfan for this competition. It was a lot of fun, and by the sounds of the chat a good experience for those in their first tournament.
I look forward to many more!

Sorry man, I had a problem with xsplit, where it didn't record sound, so its a VOD without any casting
Got it fixed now, so if i got time, il cast from the replays and upload them to my youtube.
