Hi guys! My name is Rinie a.k.a si_jali and im the founder of Spotgamers. We are going to host our 1st ever weekly online tourney which will include 4-5 popular games in SEA. The tournament will only be played 1 day during the weekend. It will be knock out format best of 3. We are looking to start it next week.

We would like to include Starcraft II as our official game but we would like to know if we can get at least 32 players to join our online tourney. By having 32 players we will be able to attract more sponsors in the future and ensuring that we have selected the games that deserve to get our support. Games that doesnt show a strong turn up will eventually be left out from the tourney for other deserving games.

The prize distribution is as follows:

Champion: RM100
2nd: RM50
3rd: RM25
4th: RM13
5th - 8th: RM11

Registration fee: RM10. Why RM10? This is to encourage newbies & amateurs players to train themselves up to get better at a very minimum cost plus at the comfort of your home! Treat this as your personal training ground


Since it will be a weekly tournament, that means anyone can stand a chance to win up to RM400 a month! That is of course if you win every week

So what do you guys think? Can we get 32 players forStarcraft II? Can Starcraft II be listed in our official games?

If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to ask ^^

1. Training in tournaments and training with your friends are totally different. In fact one of the reason why there are certain players who keep dominating in the game is because they participate in a lot of tournaments and they learn how to improve from there. Yes you can call it experience but it is also consider as training as well. Just wondering base on your training method, how many tournaments have you won? How many times have you represent Malaysia?

I can share with all of you my personal experience as a gamer myself. I started playing FIFA in WCG 2003 and i got 4th in Malaysia. In WCG 2005 i got 2nd and get to represent Malaysia to WCG Grand Final 2005 and Alhamdulillah i reach semi finals & got 4th in the world. It was the highest achievement for Malaysia and South East Asia. Until now, no one has break my record. I only won my first tournament in 2006 which is WCG Asia 2006 and im the 1st Malaysian to bring back a gold medal for my country. Till today, i have won 3 gold medals for Malaysia.

All of that doesnt come from playing with your friends online. No. It comes from years of training and sacrifices joining lots of tournaments. And this has been proven true. Year after year after year, FIFA has never fail to contribute a medal for our country. What about other games? Except DOTA 2, NONE.

So this is the purpose of SWOT. No it wasnt for profit making which i will explain later below. Its to replicate this success to other games because we know SC 2 and other games lack in tournaments in Malaysia. But its not just Malaysia that are having this problem. Its the entire SEA or even the world. So we want everyone to grow together


2. On the profit making part, seriously, you really think we do all this hard work just for RM65? Do you know the amount of work need to be done to host tourney? If your argument is base on online tournament, what about all the admins, shout casters, designers, webmaster and others who work behind the scene? Do you think they should work for free for your gaming needs?

We are so grateful that there are a few who volunteer to help make this happen. And we hope there are more passionate people who are willing to help. Even if we do make some profit it will be split to the people working behind the scene and still be return back to the community by hosting more tournaments in the future. We have proven many times that we have done so many things without profit. Cyberfusion e-Sports League 2011 & 2012 & IeSF World Championship 2011 & 2012 offered more than RM10,000 total for SC 2 players. The turn out? Less than 50 FOR ALL competition. Oh and not to mention IeSF was FREE to enter. Only less than 20 participate.

Since you mention FXO, both FXO tournaments only offered less than RM5k if im not mistaken with close to 100 players turn out. The result? FXO says bye bye to all of you. Where is the USD100,000 they promised all of you? If they truly are here for e-Sports, why they didnt invest in all of you? Any Tom Harry d*** can tell you they have X amount of money to spend. But the ones who truly cares about e-Sports, they will continue doing it every year even without any money to start with.

Actually the easiest way to answer this question is, if its so profitable, why no one else is doing it?


3. Thank you for pointing that out on the Paypal fees. We will do then necessary arrangement



To summarize, all i have to say is we have proven time and time again to the people who have doubt us. Yes we are also aware of people slandering us behind our back. You can choose either to believe them or not. But my question to all of you is this:

What do you gain from doubting us? As far as i can see, no one is doing anything for SC 2. Not even the publisher themselves. So you can keep be in your own comfort zone wondering when SC 2 gonna be big, OR you can be the one responsible to make SC 2 big.


The decision is in your hands






1. We will still host tournaments even if we have 8 players. Is that still profit making?

2. Of course we are lacking of admins in certain games. But does that stopping us from doing this tournament for you? Nope

Because we have done that and no one replied. Would you like to be our admin?

Lets just say we are tired of waiting for everything to be perfect. Sometimes to get the community going you just have to do it. Look at FIFA games for example

Thx!

Haha no worries your life will get better once you start gaming again Anyway thx 4 d support!
