Hello
If you're interested in pairing up high ranking players to 1v1 or 2v2 in a bo5 show match on maps of your own choosing, we encourage you to join our discord in order to do that!
The winner(s) of your show match can either send you the replays afterwards or you can observe the games yourself.
You are welcome to keep the content (replays) to yourself and do with it as you wish, provided that you financed the show match and supported those winning players! Because that's really what our show match series is all about.
You can also share the replays with us and we will stream/cast them sometime, preferably with you! The video will then be uploaded onto our YouTube page afterwards. We will continue to sponsor show matches of our own so no problem if you wish to keep the content private.
A few individuals have already sponsored their own show matches using our discord server. One map maker in particular (Minerals) has organized a few 1v1 show matches on his custom made maps in order to test them out and receive feedback from players. We are hoping other map makers will follow his lead.
To support map makers such as Minerals who have joined our platform and graciously sponsored show matches and selflessly created maps for the community to enjoy, we are now starting to ask our own show match players to consider fighting their first bo5 game on a map maker's map (provided it is up to standard). Minerals has already sponsored a few show matches on his custom made maps and shared the replays with us to cast/stream them with him.
In our show match series, we generally offer:
$5 prize to the winner of a 1v1 A rank bo5 show match
and $10 prize to the winner of a 1v1 S rank bo5 show match
However, you are welcome to set your own prize amounts and negotiate with the players. You will need to send the money to the winner via paypal. I can help you organize a show match or you can do it yourself by privately messaging players on our discord or posting about it in our show match chat channel.
Please consider financially and morally supporting BW players by sponsoring one or more show matches using our free access platform. The money is not really important or significant as you can probably imagine. It's really about showing some interest, effort and encouragement to players who are very grateful for the attention and opportunity to show case their skills.
Please join our discord if you are interested in sponsoring your own $ show match: https://discord.gg/B6kncux
Thank you very much for reading!

It's really cool that you guys are supporting with so many sponsored show matches even if it is for smaller amounts, it appears that you guys have been doing it a lot, which is amazing. Thanks again for sharing and supporting the scene with incentive, it brings in new blood and keeps people plugging away, great job.

When are you going to do a show match TelecoM ^^
Update: tomorrow most likely!

Welcoming anyone to our discord to sponsor a show match for as little as $5 for a A rank BO5 or $10 for a S rank BO5.
Come on folks, we created a platform for BW foreign players to compete for small amounts of money on a frequent basis and for fans/viewers to help support them.
You are more than welcome to keep the content (replays of show match) for yourself or share it with us to stream/cast sometime. I am more than happy to set up the specific show match you have in mind or you could give me freedom to choose. Please join our discord or PM me on how to donate to us.
Shout out to SgT.Fat for sending us money just now for 5 S rank show matches or 10 A rank show matches for us to stream/cast.
Hoping more people sponsor show matches on our open access platform!

There should be one of these, but to sponsor foreigner vs Korean matches
|
We got a few koreans (ample, scan, yoon, yabsab) on our discord and I tried to find more but so far little success. They are welcome to join our discord for kor vs kor or kor vs foreigner show matches.

tQ show match series has spent over $2000 USD conducting over 130 prize show matches (1v1s, 2v2s, FFAs, 1v2s) in the past two months.

We still need to upload videos of 45 show matches not yet streamed!
Please consider donating or sponsoring a show match! You can message me for our paypal email or join our discord and pm me if you are interested in contributing:

I donated awhile ago on twitch, does that count towards picking a bo5? and if so is there a list to choose from?

I was only joking about telecom sponsoring 50 show matches. He's actually sponsoring 45.
Brainojack thanks for supporting the cause. Join the discord https://discord.gg/B6kncux and get in touch, let's see who we can set up to pique your interest. We did include a note about creating your own custom show match via donations on our twitch account (see the instructions posted here: https://www.twitch.tv/primaonettv)
For $10 folks, you could set up bo5 show matches with players like: dewalt, bonyth, trutacz, sziky, terroru, oya, koget, dandy, voddy, stryker, dragon, spx, scan, yoon, ample and some others. We also have several top notch A rank players whose show matches (bo5 again) cost only $5.
Please consider supporting players. You can keep the content for yourself or share with us to stream/cast with you sometime during our open cast invite stream events.
We also have alternative maps of the month which you could choose from in setting up your own custom show match. These maps are designed by competitive map makers, including an ASL and ladder mapping champion whom you all know or should (Freakling).
I don't make this offer for the money just to be clear. I do it because it serves a community purpose. The time I spend setting up show matches is equal to, if not more than, the money I spend on show matches. I would not be doing it if I did not know how much players, fans/viewers, amateur casters and map makers appreciated it.
Dewalt vs Sziky was recently sponsored by a donation (to which I added money to because the two opponents are BSL finalists, making it a more exciting event - bear in mind many BSL finalists would not play each other in a different series, let alone in a bo5 and on a new map too!).
For examples of prize show matches featuring the best foreign players, which we have spent thousands of dollars on, please check out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGlRD7iaqt-KHNc_t_hOE6g/videos
Note we have not streamed nor uploaded yet roughly 50 show matches, of which about 35-40 are prize ones.
|
Wait, so 100 dollars is 10 matches and I don't have to do anything besides donate?
If so please pm me where to pay, if it is paypal or some online service, my gf will need to handle it.
(I got permission and I have been waiting for this thread to pop up!)

Oh that would be awesome AttackZerg.
Each S rank show match costs $10.
Each A rank show match costs $5.
We also do FFAs ($10, bo1), 2v1s ($10-15, bo3, with two D ranks vs yoon or scan) and 2v2s (usually with babo/dandy vs scan/yoon, bo5 for $20 for winning team)
It would be nice to see other members of the SC community support players like this. So far I have shouldered the majority of expenses by myself with a little bit of help from two individuals. It really doesn't cost that much if more people donated small amounts. All the hard work, in terms of attracting top tier players to a discord who would be interested in playing for small amounts of money on a frequent basis, has already been done. I had offered $15 prizes to S rank players when they first joined and $10 to A rank ones just to attract good players. And I don't mind putting in the time necessary to set up show matches (by messaging players on a daily basis whether they want to participate in a prize show match or not). It would just be helpful to have a little more financial support.
Again people are more than welcome to donate and keep the content for themselves (I can send over the replays to you via our discord if you wish), or they can allow us to cast/stream them with a shout out to them, although it would be great if they joined us to stream/cast the sponsored events. I feel an open cast invite is a really cool thing which should be taken advantage of.
Please join our discord and get in touch or check out all the wonderful show matches we have sponsored to date.
Big tournaments might consist of prizes in the thousands, but as I mentioned already, it's possible to take big sums of money as we have and spread it out over a longer period of time, while providing small amounts of money to more players from all around the world on a frequent basis. It's a very inclusive, fair and distributive model.
Here's a bunch of show matches we have not streamed yet. Many are prize show matches as you can see. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/723620698362347610/765938645152170004/unknown.png

Hey,
Was my first time using paypal, I think it is done, said something like "Funds become available on oct 15th" Please, let me know if I somehow managed to fuck this up.
|
Yes! Big shout out to April H. for donating $100 to S and A rank players! Make sure you join our discord AttackZerg and let me know if there are specific show matches you want organized (whether 1v1, FFA, 2v1, S or A ranks, and specific players) and on which maps (ladder or our alternative monthly maps, and the bo5 show match can be on a mix of maps or played all on the same map). If you want the replays for yourself and not to be streamed/casted by us, I am happy to send them to you over discord.
Again, thank you for supporting players. I will let them know you sponsored their show matches going forward.
|
All of that is in your capable hands. All I ask is that the players fight hard. Thanks for all your (and others) hard work.
edit - Please Contact brainjack and let him/her pick one showmatch if they wish, seems like they may have missed out by donating in an alternate way.
|
Thanks AZ! Will certainly do. Thanks for supporting foreign BW players and map makers!
|
I should mention that anyone is welcome to use our discord server to organize their own showmatch for their own platforms or pleasure. We basically created the infrastructure for finding and pairing up showmatch players. We have been open-source since the beginning. You can probably find many people who would be willing to play for free, and many other A/S rankers who would play for prizes, similar to rates we have offered ($5 for bo5 A rank showmatch and $10 for bo5 S rank showmatch). You can keep the replays for yourself or observe the showmatch live for whatever event you have in mind.
