Hi friends,

Since reactivating in late 2020, Team Think Quick (est. 2004) has organized over 300 cash and non-cash prize showmatches featuring the best and worst foreign StarCraft players, spending thousands of dollars and countless of hours on financially and morally supporting active Brood War players of all ranks and regions while extending an open cast invite to community members to participate in the casting of those showmatches during our live stream events. Please consider showing your support for our inclusive, collective and charitable platform by subscribing to our YouTube channel, following our Twitch account and joining our Discord server. Come and be welcome!

tQ showmatch series structure

Playoff format

Best-of-five (A and S rank show matches)
Best-of-three (F, E, D, C and B rank show matches)

Prize pools

Mainly
- 1v1 S rank show match winner: $10 USD
- 1v1 A rank show match winner: $5
- 1v1 B/C/D/E/F rank show match winner: no prize

Occasionally
- FFA (up to 8 players) winner: $10 or more
- 2v2 S rank show match winners: $20 total
- 2v1 show match (two separate E rank players vs a semi-pro Korean): $10-15 bo5
- 1v1 infested terran showmatch: $5 bo5 for low rankers

Payment method

Paypal

Map pool

- Starting map: Fighting Spirit or Neo Sylphid
- Loser chooses next map from ladder mappack
- Alternatively, new map(s) by mapmakers from our discord may be selected

Replays

Winner sends replays of show match games privately to ox[tQ] on discord, along with paypal email to receive prize.

Broadcast

All replay show matches will be streamed and casted on our Twitch account (TeamThinkQuickTTV) every Friday and Saturday starting from 21:00 EDT. Our casting sessions have always been open to the public since day one so join us! I share my screen in the open casting channel of our discord during our live stream events, and everyone is welcome to hop in and co-cast with me! Your "casting" can be serious and knowledgeable, or you can keep things light hearted and have fun! The whole point of open casting is to create a community oriented inclusive experience, and not recreate professional casting sessions! Please follow updates in this thread for confirmation of future stream events and scheduled lineups.

Selection process

ox[tQ] organizes show matches by privately messaging online discord users to see who can play. He then tries to pair available opponents with similar MMR or skill levels.

If you want to participate, you can also message him or make a request in the show match chat for others to see as well.

Players who have not played a show match ever or recently will be prioritized over those who have.

Original post has been edited by the author to provide an up to date description of the tQ showmatch series. The exchanges below basically document its evolution from its embryonic to present state thanks to the help of community members.

Thanks for the tip. I'm afraid I don't have knowledge of, nor access to, any notable discords where active, good players are to be found.

Well I guess I failed to attract players on this forum for our show match tonight. We will probably host an in-house one featuring our own members, prize involved of course.

But if any of you check out this thread tomorrow, feel free to respond as we will be organizing one again tomorrow most likely and the day after, etc.

Thanks for your encouraging message TelecoM.

We are hoping to organize a 1v1 or 2v2 show match again later tonight.

My hope is to expand my networks of good known players so that when we are ready to organize one (from anytime between 8:30 and 11:00 PM eastern), we will have a pool of interested and available players to select from. I understand because of time zone differences, some people who know about our events may not be available to participate, which is unfortunate but rectifiable if we were to organize one at a more convenient time for them. We can do that once in a while. But for the foreseeable future, we would like to continue hosting them later at night eastern time.

Nevertheless, I am certain there are many players out there who would be interested in participating. So please get in touch with us at our discord channel and follow us on our twitch account so that you will know when we are organizing one. All of our sc streams lately have been show matches. Sometimes we stream casual games afterwards too.

We are expecting a little support from everyone seeing we are doing these events for the small community of BW gamers and not our selves. So please help spread the word and add a little more excitement on top of the many wonderful events that already exist for your community.

Middle of summer is a bit of a downtime for a lot of folks.
And a forum is a bit slow, if you give a week notice it ll work, probably, otherwise it s tough. As artofturtle said use discord.
A lot of players are in clans who typically have matches during the weekend (either clan war or in house) who take priority over events such as yours (due to the short notice, again).
Still thank for organising bw events!

Couple questions for more detail : what MMR range are you looking for, what kind of map?

Edit: grammar/typo
Try and contact iccup.face here via dm to get access to bwcl general. That channel has a lot of clan leaders/members and it s much more responsive

Thanks for your constructive feedback WGT-Baal.

I assume people are on more now during COVID-19, at least that's what research on gaming points to. But you are probably right.

It would be nice to feature A or S rank players, like tonight when I try to organize a 1v1 show match (and possibly 2v2 after wards).

It would also be great if players agreed to compete on different maps. We don't have any strict rules around that. If fighting spirit is demanded by most or all parties, then so be it. But we insist on using different maps. As a general rule, the loser(s) pick(s) map.

I will do that!

Hi Bakuryui. I apologize for asking the following questions -- I am not too familiar with the BW scene these days. Are you a good player? Do you have a ladder ranking? 1v1er or 2v2er? Available after 9 PM eastern time? Some information would help me figure things out. Thanks for dropping your name in the proverbial tQ hat.

Any A or S rank players on who wish to play? Bakuryu may be your opponent, he is on for another 2.5 hours. A best of five will likely take up to 1.5 hour but could end much sooner.

We organized a 1v1 and 2v2 show match yesterday. The match ups were somewhat balanced, with 3-2 scores for both events.

Looking to do another 1v1 tonight, at least, maybe even 2v2. Do get in touch with us here or our discord.

Thanks everyone.

So my friends, we are looking to organize more show matches tonight, usually starting from 8 PM EST. We always need a good pool of talented players (high A or S rank preferably) to feature in these events. It would help if you join our discord (link posted above) or hang out in channel: op [tQ] on US West where our show match players typically meet before we create a game for them to play in.

It is my hope that the BW community supports these events as much as possible by participating in them as players, letting other people know about our daily show match series, joining our discord with the intention of setting up a show match, following our stream, chatting with us in the twitch stream, etc. so that this thing could take on a life of its own and be self-sustainable. Any sort of revenue we are able to generate would go directly back into these show matches so no individual would profit from it (like that's really possible given the niche BW community). The two individuals financing these events including myself have careers and other aspirations so they are not looking to make money here It is pure entertainment and desire to make daily show match events a reality for the sc community to enjoy in between occasional tournament and other show match events. So please help us make it grow.


Yesterday we had the following 1v1 show matches:

iRk-OyAji (P) vs TerrOr4u(eF] (T)
TerrOr4u(eF] (T) vs djy (P)
SouL)Z(cRoSs (Z) vs Dewalt1 (P)
SouL)T(Dandy (T) vs dM-Tech (P)
