GIGABYTE would like to announce their GIGABYTE E-Sports Championships
2011 Starcraft 2 Invitational tournament. The tournament will see
thirty-two of the best Australian Starcraft 2 players, from across the

1st place - $2,500
2nd place - $1,500
3rd place - $750
4th place - $250

The tournament will be double-elimination, with each match played out
as best-of-three, and held in Melbourne at Respawn LAN on the 24th of
September. This will be the second GESC event of 2011 and will be the
first Starcraft 2 event by the team behind GESC.

Invited players will have the pleasure of playing all matches out on

[Dox]

Sigh, a tournament in my own city for once, and I'll be in Brisbane for WCG. Poor scheduling.

[nGenLight]

I rather go to this then WCG wtf change the date plz!!!!

Assuming I get an invite!

[frequency]

Not again...

You're hosting an invitation only tournament with 10 days notice, on a day that clashes with WCG Brisbane (our last LAN qualifier, I believe), and with the announcement you've given NO information as to the invited players (I'll assume you have actually invited people...), schedule and if/where it will be broadcast.

It's also going to be at Respawn LAN, and with my previous experiences at Reloaded (Reloaded is bigger though, I think) the lag is horrible.

I'll be wishing you the best of luck.

Im with everyone here. Postpone it since it coincides with Brisbane WCG and give more notice for the invites + open tournament. Best to PM Dox and then liase with him, he will provide some great feedback to help you run the tournament smoothly and successfully. Not saying that you can't run it without him, i'm sure you could but it will be sooooo much better with his feedback and all the competitors will be much happier, turnout bigger, leading to much more happy sponsors.

Hey Nirvana just a little insight into the comp the "GIGABYTE E-Sports Championships 2011 Starcraft 2 Invitational tournament" is going to be happening a RESPAWN LAN #22 its a mutli game LAN (COD, CS, TF2, etc etc) that occurs in Melbourne, Australia probably 3-4 times a year, so GIGABYTE would have to pull their tournament from the LAN and then find a new LAN venue/event to join with (which City Hunter would be more than happy to do )

I will be trying to contact Gigabyte tomorrow to see if we can get more details and make them aware of the communities concerns with it clashing with WCG Brisbane as I believe the person posting this is simply a member of the community and not the tournament organizer

[nirvAnA]

that sounds awesome chris! well played!

The 'ESports Daily' account here belongs to Darren Kwan as far as I know, who is the person behind ESports Daily (surprisingly) and is closely related to Team Immunity (which is running this event).

Either way, I'd imagine they wouldn't want to have it in Sydney if they can't have it in Melbourne, but I dunno
