I will need to confirm, so it's not for certain, but I'm pretty sure I have an exam next week, then a week of no exams before the next one. Which means I might be in a position to fill in for Venom if needed

Dexterique · Mon, 20th-Aug-2012, 4:22 PM

This is a really good exposure for those who are in Bronze and Silver who never had the chance to be in a competitive environment, playing against people around your level. Really great of you eh Panda for organizing this. Cheers!

ToRPatto · Mon, 20th-Aug-2012, 4:22 PM

ToRPatto.890, Silver, Terran! First Tournament.. Should be good

AxSGRiM · Mon, 20th-Aug-2012, 4:30 PM

It looks really good man! Thank you for putting so much work into it and sick logo btw! Hope everything runs smoothly and we can see more of this! Needs to get featured on tournaments too, go ask nirv!

AceWing · Mon, 20th-Aug-2012, 5:49 PM

would be great if this tournament is held every week/ 2 weeks friday, this way it gets them prepared for saturday's BSG.

And about the smurfin' part, could make a point system (like 1st = 8 points, 2nd = 7 points , 3rd = 6 points, 4th 5th 6th = 5 points, first time participants 1 points each, consequent participation 2 points each) every 4-5 events the highest accumulated points will get some bigger prize or something.

just my 2 cents, open to criticisms.
