// Schedules & Fixtures

TO BE RELEASED.

Just wanna ask.. Why exactly do we need to give our home address?

So we can bash your skull if you dont come. Lol.

Its just a form of verification, since its on your ic, it doesnt hurt to have extra info on where a vast majority of players live for future events and planning purposes.

ah ok.. was just curious that's all.. don't bash my skullz

Mostly for demographics and profiling. So that we present the data to our sponsors. You didnt think that sponsors throw out cash and/or other prizes and get people like me to run tourneys just cause they want to ?

Sponsors happy = More tournaments in the future.
Sponsors not happy = We can all fly kites instead.

Chill yo, I just wanted to know what's it for. First two sentences should suffice.

that fullname is real name or full ID name?

Your full real name.

We didnt ask for IGN.

ok thx

can i register for both 1v1 and 2v2 tournament~if possible

12 of 32 slots for 1v1 have been filled.

2 of 16 slots for 2v2 have been filled.

Do register quickly.
Since this event is free, players on the waiting list will definitely have a chance for placement, so do register even if its full.

looking for teammate for 2on2 tournament !
any1 without a teammate can look for me.
I'm average player we can meet up weekend and play and do some training together.

PM me.

hi, may i ask if i can reserve a 2v2 slot or not?
cuz i cannot confirm which player will i be joining with, my partner had to go overseas and might not make it back in time, i can guarantee the participation of the team, but just unsure of which player.

Yes, you may reserve the slot by signing up your team details excluding 1 player. However, that submission must be complete before the tournament begins.

The R&R for both the 1 vs 1 and 2 vs 2 tournaments are now online and links can be found on the 2nd post

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=36957832

4. Race Selection
A player may switch their race at any point during the tournament.
=O

And that is a problem because ?

nope not a problem, cant say unfair as it takes skill to learn extra races as well!

Is random a race? Cause i've never seen Random during registration.

Its either, chinese, Malay, Indian or Dan Lain-Lain.

kekekeke...

I don't think race change is a problem, though its pretty silly to do random in a 1v1. But perhaps i'll give you a bonus if you win the tourney with Random.

the 1st match of the tourney is BO1 or BO3?

For both tournaments, its Single Elimination, BO3 all the way.

Map selection is via veto. The process for the map veto is in the R&R.

yes random is a proper race, yes people has and can win with random. yes there are pros and cons in playing random.

A player should register his race and stick to it throughout the tourney.some races have grave advantages on diff maps

This post has been edited by Holyboyz: Oct 14 2010, 10:28 AM

Yes, I support this !

If you think a map is advantages to a particular race, remove it via veto, the reason that format is there is to have as many map choices as possible without comprimising all players ability to win. You must understand that the maps arent fixed and the veto is there for a reason.

Games are also best of 3. If you happen to choose 3 maps that is advantageous to your opponent, that isnt a format flaw, it is your inexperience to choose the right maps.

Please think before posting these things and read the rules and reg before posting about something that is already in it.

@ ^

rules dont state whether changing races in between maps is allowed or not if allowed i dont see the point in the veto system since we can pick races that might have advantages on certain maps eg. i win first round he picks Lost Temple i go yay terren( plz dont bring balance in here im just giving an example) . If not then races are chosen and locked before map veto i dont see the point in allowing us to race switch cuz the only factor here that would enduce one to race switch is that he looks at ur current race and thinks he could do better with another? and in turn u might race switch also because he did?

I dont know i dont think that works, GSL uses the 1 race rules

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessag...topic_id=141496

Or u could go for the MLG rule set

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessag...topic_id=141054

Where the only the loser gets to race pick but and their races are not revealed on the brackets only when they meet. but this set is to much of a hassle to inforce and its made for an online tourney

I stand that races should be locked


ps:blind pick of races in the MLG format means that player A and B PICKS thier races but is unknow to each other till until the meet ingame but thier races are still locked. the only time they can change is when they lose. but only the loser may change

This post has been edited by Holyboyz: Oct 15 2010, 10:22 AM

GSL RULESET (64 PLAYER PRELIM)

- Maps: 1set : Metalopolis 2set: Scrap Station 3set: Xel'Naga Caverns
This is why they race lock. Maps are locked.
Also, 64 player tournaments are not easy to run, simplifying to lock the maps and races are understandable.


4. Race Selection
A player may switch their race at any point during the tournament

Seriously. ITS EVEN ITS OWN TOPIC.

This post has been edited by crashtec: Oct 15 2010, 01:09 PM

Howdy all,

As of 15th October 2010, Merely days after the tournament's opening, the 32 of 32 player slots for the 1v1 Tournament is filled, with 3 (originally 5 - removed 2 due to duplicated applications) players on the waiting list.

The waiting list limit for 1v1 is set at 16. (3 of 16)

The 2v2 Tournament currently has 10 of 16 slots filled. Do remember that you may participate in both tournaments as the events are separate.

Also, if you do not have your own account, blitzone will provide you one (depending on the availability) on the event day.

So send in your registrations ASAP before time runs out!

Regards,

Brian
ESP Crossfire Team

I know that in the RnR, what query still stands CAN I CHANGE my race after maps are vetoed?

IF YES!! then whats the point if the Veto when someone can just play races specific to a map??

eg.Player A and B Vetoed down to B.sands/Lost temple and scrap sation. First map is Scrapstation so player A goes Zerg he wins and B choses Lost Temple as 2nd map player A proceeds to chose Terran.<< IMO whats the poing of veto

IF NO!! if not then why not just have a fixed race?since the only time we can change is BEFORE maps are vetoed.

and i dont see the point in allowing race change.

PS:WOWOOWOWOW 32 LIAO!!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!!!

This post has been edited by Holyboyz: Oct 15 2010, 02:38 PM

Geez, why are you so afraid of people changing races prior to a match?
What are you really afraid of? People countering you prior to a match or people countering you in a match?

The point of VETO is to remove a map you dont like. Dont like doesnt mean you cant win. You just dont like the map.

In a competitive sense, it shouldnt matter, because it will still boil down to your individual skill. If its hard, its because you're going against someone who knows the map and his race well.

You see, if you lock the races AND the maps AND if your theory that maps are imba towards certain races then zerg/terran/toss will ALWAYS win certain maps, which in turn mean that one particular race will ALWAYS lose a certain map, which also means that if I as the organizer choose 3 maps on my own and they are all "imba" to zerg - your theory also means that everyone will take zerg and everyone will win? How does that work?


Also :

4. Race Selection
A player may switch their race at any point during the tournament

Yes, this means he can swap his race just before the timer hits 3 seconds and turns himself miraculously from a Dan Lain-Lain into a Chinese man. Pun intended.

oh god save me falk.

^ that was all i needed

ps: no scare just a query has exp probs like this b4 wananana be confrimes

This post has been edited by Holyboyz: Oct 15 2010, 05:16 PM

Don... you are a real banananana you know that.

bodo.

Well, Brian basically got the gist of what I would have said.

No PC at home and I didnt feel like typing out a long-winded reply on my mobile device.

are there any slots left for 1 v 1 ??

it's full but u still can reg n will be in waiting list like me =.="

Hi there!

Yes, you may still register, but you will be put on the waiting list for 1v1. The list isnt long, so dont hesitate to register first.

any 2v2 slot available?

Registered! If you don't mind me asking, how long is the waiting list?

2 more slots available

---

Added on October 21, 2010, 4:45 pmHi jacky, the list is now on its 8 of 16 in waiting.

---

Added on October 25, 2010, 3:12 pmHi ladies!

As of today, the 1v1 registrations are full, with 1 player pulling out. That means with the current registration, a player from the waiting list will replace him.

Also, there are still 3 slots for the 2v2.

Cheers!

Attention to all 2 vs 2 Teams

The tournament location has been changed to Blitzone (previously Net Master)

It is the single shoplot Blitzone, next to Busy Corner, Claypot Chicken Rice Shop. If you still cant find it, just look out for the 7-11 along the same row of shops.

We will be using the Match Rooms for the tournament, which is located upstairs. Once you get there, head right up and look for Brian.

This post has been edited by Auricom: Oct 25 2010, 05:46 PM

8th in the waiting list. Oh well, I'll just wait for the next tournament. Good luck contestants!

Whee competition this weeked and I damn cant make it. (>w<)

I have a confirmed registration for both 2v2s and 1v1s and I would like to know a few details about the venue so that I can minimize calibration time especially since it starts early.

1) What is the height of the table? (From the floor)
2) How far is the monitor from the edge of the table? (Assume at not maximum stretching)
3) What size are the monitors?
4) How wide is the gap between PCs?
5) Does the PC have keyboard PS/2 support?

I would be glad if you could provide me this information since I have a different home set than any CCs and etc. Thanks.

Before i answer the above question, you'll need to tell me you're height, weight and width.

Anyway, jokes aside, assuming that you're 5'10, not extremely obese (not more than 60 inches in circumference), you should be pretty comfortable.

1) Height is your standard 29-30 inch Computer table.
2) Table length and width is approx 1 meter x 1 meter.
3) 23 inch ViewSonics
4) approx half a meter between Monitors.
5) Yes

I don't normally entertain these types of questions, but i was feeling generous.

Thanks for the information. It helps

very well organized event. matches end ahead of schedule, good pc without lag nor disconnection. thumbs up for both organizer & cc

Yeah I agree. Even before it started, it already looked as though it would end without any major problems occurring. Everything was set up perfectly, organizers doing their job well, matches started without any major delay etc. Congrats to the winners and huge props to the organizers for a smooth event.

congrats to cobo and renson again lol

Next time need ban those 2 leh =,=" ....Cobo never lose a single offline MY tourney till now eh

Agree to Timber...Smooth going : )

This post has been edited by xShinji: Nov 1 2010, 01:37 PM

yea man i agree. Those 2 should be banned!`

Excuse me, there should be 3 need to be ban include Ash

Indeed!!

yeah please ban cobo, renson, ash. pls raise a pool HAHAHAHA

Dont ban me !!!!!!!!

*xShinji : Oi Xshinji, are you protoss? Dont Go tolong Terran and Zerg

This post has been edited by cobo: Nov 1 2010, 07:58 PM

Haha, Ash should be banned as well ! Agreed !

Of course im Protoss : ) ....but your hogging too much win >.< ...newbie dont dare vs u liao ~.~

great tourney...no delay...smooth all da way...kudos to the organizers !!

btw, agree !! ban those imba ones...hahaha
maybe organize an amateur version

Haha, thanks.

We might do an amatuer division if the community is large enough

yeah pls, i want to join. hahahaha

Yeah an amateur division for non-diamonds would be good. But diamonds should stick with the rest without banning any particular player, it's unfair and unhealthy for the scene if it becomes like dota where you keep banning the high tier players. There's probably a better way to make the scene much more balance and competitive. Perhaps a double elimination with the recent top placings getting seeded straight into top 8 or something like that would be better.

Ban top 3 winners from games thanks.

Double Elimination is much nicer. lol

Amateurish = non diamond player ? =,=" ...

yeah, prefer Double E for less player tourney ... Plat/gold/silver batch is big @.@

Hi guys, short post, as I'm posting from a mobile device. Would greatly appreciate it if you could post any feedback on the R&R.

Wasn't onsite during the tourney, so would like to know if any parts of the R&R needs to be tweaked and/or revised for future tourneys.

Umm .... I thought you guys releasing relays of the finals?

Ah 1 thing.....i think got 1 time you guys show important match on a lcd while not that important match on the big screen ....

can't wait for the replays

Replays are with crashtec. Will follow up with him on the delay.

Hi guys,

Here are the replays for 1v1 - unedited.

The reason for the "delay" is actually for the players in these replays to adapt to new strats (if any) so that these do not undermine them. We don't want to put players in these replays at a disadvantage right after the tournament. Aside from this, most of the replays were also sent overseas for post-commentary (unsure if they have been accepted) but i will post it whenever its ready

As for the TV display, the computer connected to it wasnt powerful enough to handle a massive battle on 2 screens, therefore we stopped using it after a while. (it was fine for faster, smaller battles)

Added on November 30, 2010, 4:40 pmto organizer. please DO NOT ban top players. its very very unhealthy for the general growth of E sport. just like Dota.....we need capitalized competition. of course only the best player can win.

There will be another SC2 tournament, sponsored by Blitzone in December 2010.

A new thread will be created once the details have been ironed out and confirmed.
