This is another post only relevant to Aussies, sorry everyone :3


At the moment Pure Knight (from BoredAussies, and ex-AUS-1 admin) and myself are exploring how implementing a State of Origin competition for Australian StarCraft players would pan out.

There's no finalised structure for the competition yet, nor confirmed prizes or duration, but what we do have are a few ideas and foundations and what I need from you is expression of interest. Once we know the teams competing we can better work on the format and other details. I have not confirmed the details below with Pure Knight or anyone else but I thought I should get proactive and write something down.

What we have so far


Eligibility
  • If you were born in a particular state you are eligible for that state.
  • If you live in a particular state you are eligible for that state.
  • According to one of the above criteria, once you choose a state you cannot change it at any time.
  • Overseas-born players will be permitted, on the condition that they are permanent residents here and NOT just on a visa (for work or study).
  • Don't lie about which states you can represent.


Team Structure
  • New South Wales and ACT players will compete as a team.
  • Queensland and Norther Territory players will compete as a team.
  • South Australia and Western Australia players will compete as a team.
  • Victoria and Tasmania players will compete as a team.
  • Teams must consist of a minimum of 4 players, and a maximum of 6.
  • There will be a 'for fun' (no prize) training team or B-team with players who do not make the main team so they can still have fun playing for their state.
  • At least one representative from each state must be included in the team (even if it is just in the B-team) unless there are no players signed up from that state (hi NT) - not sure about this rule yet, see who expresses interest.


Competition Structure
  • Clan War Structure, consisting of four 1v1 matches on predetermined maps and one 2v2 games. Lineups must be submitted prior to the scheduled match time.
  • Will be pretty flexible on when you complete them during the week because not everyone has as much time for SC as they used to. Instead of the two teams negotiating a time, the players will have the option to postpone their own game if the rest of the respective teams play at an inconvenient time.
  • Unsure of the length of the competition or the frequency. Over an entire iCCup season is too long but the Finals can't be too frequent.
  • Probably round-robin format, with each team playing each other at least once (maybe twice).
  • Depending on strength and numbers in the B-teams, they may or may not compete in the main competition.
  • Prizes and any other information I have missed here are undefined at this time.

Evil Geniuses manager Lucas Colbi Bigham and some of the EG players have expressed interest in competing in a show match with the victorious State of Origin team after the 5 week competition is complete. Team Evil Geniuses (http://www.myeg.net) are one of if not the premier StarCraft team hailing from the USA, boasting a formidable StarCraft lineup featuring the likes of Louder, iNcontroL, Machine, LzGaMeR, iNkA and Nyoken.

The winning State Team from the competition will have a chance to prove themselves against the best that North America have to offer in a showmatch against the boys from EG.sc

What it might mean in the future


We can speculate about a lot of things for the SC SoO competition, such as possible revival of Team Aus. for Nation Wars (using SoO as a selection process or proving grounds), cash or hardware prizes, set up some grounds for competitive StarCraft 2 in Australia and many other things - such as fun and the chance to represent your state!

There is also the possibility of adding New Zealand in the future if the venture is successful.

What can we do now?

SIGN UP! Express your interest my PM or posting in this thread (or other sites like iCCup, BoredAussie, TeamAus, etc.). We are just getting initial headcounts and see who thinks they have the time to do this and who wants to participate in it.

The people who have expressed interest are below. Note that as eligibility rules are subject to change, so are the teams (e.g. for now I am eligible for NSW as I live here, and TAS as I was born there but if we think the 'born' rule should be removed then I will be applying for the NSW/ACT team... unfortunately B-team or C-team more likely cos I suck).

ID - Race - State - Rank; also include your CURRENT State and BIRTH State

BTW - no confirmation of where the games will be played, be it BoredAussie, iCCup or Battle.net.

If any kind of cash or hardware prizes are organised you will be required to prove that you own a legitimate copy of the game and that you are eligible for the state.

Enter now just so I can get a list of names who are interested. Doesn't matter if you may not be able to make the team I just would like to know if this appeals to everyone and also get feedback about format and input from people to improve it too!

Speaking of big V, once teams are finalised I encourage voting for a team nickname or name n_n VIC/TAS 'the Southern V' comes to mind Applicable to Victoria, Tas (the shape) and sounds kinda naughty. The trifecta!

SAWA is like a nickname on its own it sounds awesome.

Last season counts yeah, and so do National Tournament results because you are going to be playing against the same people as you played there so it seems fair to buff up your rank n_n

KarnivooL I have you down as C because that is what I have seen you as, even though that might have been after you got Aus Nat Tour semi-final points (or finals points last season). Like I said I am including those results, but if you wanna be put down as C- or w/e you think you really are just say.

The ranks up there aren't final or really used for anything other than a gauge. Will find a way of choosing teams of course be it tournament, votes of reccommendation, whatever.

I might be able to play, but I'm somewhat time poor these days and don't have as much spare time as I used to.

If we listened to you, captaincy would be decided by "not protoss"

There will be team captains for A and B teams, but they will be determined either by:

A Tournament; OR
As voted by State team players, with additional weighting given to higher ranked players (i.e. If your are C you might start with 1 vote already, if you are highest in state you might start with 2 votes already, etc.)

Will come up with a final method once we get some more names up there!

Bob - there are always B-team positions, which is more relaxed and social if you want to play that way, but will also be a good training grounds or means of proving yourself for A-team.

Also, there are subs or shadow players.

Sign up and more details will be released once other things have been discussed and organised. Times that the games are played will generally not be extremes if it is say Western states vs Eastern states but otherwise timezones are really close so the times that games are played should be pretty volatile and friendly.

In any case, VIC can just have extra shadow players for the A-team and then maybe two B-teams, it's easy to account for. For example -

A Melbourne City B-team and 'Country Victoria' B-team.

Greater melb/suburbs would be in country (or like, within 15mins of CBD) and the rest could be 'country'.

This has already been discussed but will not take place until later if we decide to implement it.

If I signed up then you sure can! Don't be scared just because you don't think you're good - it might be a chance to improve and also meet people who play near you. Also it's nice playing other Aussies where the lag is reduced a little

Nice to see more signups still coming in - soon the teams will be allocated and an intra-state tournament run to determine the top seeds of that state, as well as who is int he A-team or B-team.

Games will not be into full swing until close to November when everyone has finished their school and university work. Keep this in mind if you have signed up but are going away for the holidays.

Captains will be decided when the teams are finalised too - you can nominate yourself for captain and the highest ranked played in the tournament who has expressed interest in captaincy will most likely get the role.

Captaincy must be held by an A-team player, and involves such tasks as:

Organise both A- and B-teams for your state.
Organising matches between your state and another (schedule a time, submit lineup, etc.).
Motivating team members.
Helping with or organising practice sessions when applicable (both in your team and to help B-team players improve).
Reminding or informing teammates of upcoming games, and doing your best to ensure they turn up on time.

So if you are not willing to do these things to a sufficient level then don't apply!

For any problems encountered in doing these tasks we will provide a list of contacts and advisors that you can approach.

Hey, I guess you can sign me up for WA

Sadly, I havent played starcraft for quite a while and even when I did play I wasnt very good at it (probs D+ at my peak), but if you get in one of those spots where the team doesnt have enough players I might be able to help out and fill a spot.

Yeah trying to convince GoD- but I dunno his reason for not wanting to play yet (like, he comes to all the AusNZ tours and they don't have a prize... plus they are more games than this one is going to be).

chogoling - he's from NSW.

Marine50 - like I said it's best to wait until after exams because if we start sooner then half or more of the people won't be able to play regularly.

Except that I think frugga might be NSW too o_o Maybe I am wrong.

Anyway there are a couple players who have taken games off GoD- like smurf (NSW?), cheeseball (VIC), etude and many others are perfectly capable. Some are yet to sign up, too.

Any other NT players you know of that might wanna play?

I'm fadetowhite on iccup, from ACT, usually zerg but might play TvZ because it seems like there's too many zergs already.

My exams finish in late November sometime and I'm going away for a month in mid December, but in between I can definitely play.

Oh, didn't know you were ACT. I went to St. Edmunds for high school.

Also I put your offrace down as B cos I dunno what it's at.

chogoling: The maps will be known in advance, as will the player lineups so you will have to declare your race when your team captain declares the lineup. Note that this doesn't mean you are 'stuck' with a race - but you must state which race you will use for each matchup to give people a chance to prepare.

e.g. I might play ZvZ, ZvT and PvP so when I declare that I will play I will say that, so if the opponent ends up as a P they can expect me to be using P.

What I can't do, however, is say I am Z but then turn up there and go 'actually I am playing P' because the opponent would have prepared to face a zerg and you would have a huge advantage.

Slaughter - once more of the stuff is finalised maybe we can intice him over for a few matches between poker games

You're preparing for 3 matchups where you know the opponents race, your opponent is preparing for 3 matchups where he doesn't know unless he scouts really early or you cheese and he finds out fast.

Although random should be allowed.

i dislike the idea of offracing for certain match ups... in my opinion it should be choose a race, p/t/z OR random, and then ur opponent has to deal with it. not i choose this race if u choose this race kinda crap... what if u have 2 z players and they both want to tvz and neither want to be the z? (i mean this isn't far fetched since in my opinion its alot easier tvz'ing than zvt'ing at low levels on iccup)

we gonna have some rule that will decide on matters like this?

ps. i do realize i am under T/Z only because i am playing terran now but will go back to zerg if i get stomped around too much.

How about if you choose a 'main' race, so that you play 2-3 matchups with that race and you can specify an off-race for a specific matchup if you like.

If two people with mutually exclusive matchups play they both have to use their main.

Not allowing random is stupid. If a player is confident enough to go into a match without knowing what race he will be playing, he should be entitled to do so. The Random advantage isn't as great as everyone says it is - just scout earlier or double scout or something. Adaptation is part of Starcraft, and is a measure of skill. Introducing silly rules only takes away from the unpredictability of the game.

Just an update, brackets for the Seeding Tournament (to see highest seeds in the state) will be finalised soon. We will try and organise some sponsor for a modest prize (has to be pretty modest for a team of 6) for the main tournament. The tournament brackets will be on binarybeast and the format will be double elimination.

Upper bracket will be BO3, first game on Des and then loser picks from the map pool (to be released). Lower bracket will be BO1 on the same maps, with the final being BO5. The tournament results will be used to decide captains and A-team members, but is by no means the final decision (you can just have a bad day).

Using the tourney results the state teams will be organised and the actual competition will not start until everyone's exams are over.

Cheers.

If I were to allow random I would have to remove the knowledge of the lineup prior to the match. Not gonna do that - random isn't a race but if you want to simulate it by choosing a different race each week that is fine.

IMO random should not be allowed, it does give an advantage (if even a slight one). Would hate to see some of the better players lose out to gumbys who used some cheesy bullshit (Yes i know cheese can happen in normal games but atleast you can plan for the the bullshit knowing which race your up against). There are also some maps which give greater advantages to the player going random than others ..

Most of all, I want to see some good games played and not allowing random is a good move to make that happen.

Seriously? It's not like random is a hack or something. Race picking I can maybe agree with, but not allowing random is dumb.

As long as you indicated you're playing random in the sign-ups, I don't see the problem. If you don't feel as confident playing against a random player becuase you can't follow your robotic early game builds, it isn't your opponent's problem.

When did everyone go so lame?

Random is really just no fun to play against in most cases and if the person who plays random just wants to play any race then why not just pick one or roll a dice or something man.

Lost Temple isn't a hack, it's part of the game but I bet everyone would complain if that were the map for these tourneys. It alters the game too much and is not really in the spirit of the competitiveness or fun of it.

Theres a reason why u cant random in pro scene, coz it gives an unfair advantage in terms of early build order, scouting and overall game plan. You cant prepare a good build or anything for a map and matchup.

The main reason for going random is usually because some1 doesn't like playing a particular matchup. Thats just gay, man up and play it

No random lets everyone know their match up before hand and can practice for it. Random just makes things lame and for some people who are against it, its unfair and more importantly unfun not knowing the race you are against until you scout them a few minutes in

Answer me this - why do players choose random? I can only think of reasons where it gives you an advantage.

I'm not really sure how del not allowing people to play random is lame in this tournment.. What's lame is people bitching they can't pick random most likely because they do not want to play someone straight up in a normal match. If you need to be able to go random to win games you are the one that is lame buddy.

As I said earlier, personally I would rather see some good games played where it is on an even playing field and that's more likely to happen when random is not allowed!

random is allowed in progames as gtr says and part of the whole point of playing it is because it does give you an early game advantage and force your opponent into more conservative builds. I appreciate that most players these are mindless robots who one or two builds, but like I said, random is a legit race in itself and should be allowed. It shouldn't even warrant debate. Where Eri when we need him?

Dunno what race you wanna play LoSt :D

Sign ups will probably stop this weekend so I can organise some brackets for the state team seeding tourneys.

If you wanna participate sign up this week, otherwise you may have to wait until after the preliminary tourneys!

You have to choose 1 race 4 entire MSL or OSL.

youre wrong, GTR is right


Mixed reports, but apparently u have to choose the 1 race OR Random at the start of the Tourney and can't change the whole way through.

random seems fair because in return for having a little more information at the start of the game than your opponent, you have to practise all races, not just one (and all matchups)

No the R will practice 3 races 1 matchup of each, and the other guy will practice one race and 3 matchups. And on top of that he doesn't know which MU it is at the start.

Yah but he gets to not diclose his rank like everyone else Will keep previous stats in mind when making brackets though (like if it is top seed vs last then obv smurf ranks don't count).

i dont see how this works

let's say i practise TvP, ZvP and PvP only. What if i random as a P and he is a T? What if he is a Z? What if random as a Z, and he is a Z? and so forth

The thing is, you will know the opponent's race before the game begins. So that if they are Random they just have the one race to practice against, but 3 to practice with while the guy who chooses a race will have one to use but 3 to practice against (and then he has to practice keeping in mind he won't know what they will be).

If you do it and I don't know about it when when doing the tournament worst vs best in state to determine seedings you will just be up against a top player and might get knocked out early so... It's just that they are allowed to not disclose it if they wish there is nothing at all wrong with it. Lying about it is not really on but I take this as just not wanting to submit it.

I know Etude's rank too. The point is that they are not smurfing or trying to hide who they are so I don't see a problem with it, and if you want you can have an anonymous rank too but like with the other anonymous entries I will still have a rough idea of where they are in the state rankings so will pair them with appropriate players in the seeding tourament.

Anyway TEAM NAMES!

We have a few options, some are better than others but maybe people can thing of some good examples:

1. Based on pro-teams (e.g. SAWA Rolsters, VICTAS Entus)
2. Based on sporting teams (e.g. QLDNT Reds, SAWA United, VICTAS Victory)
3. Based on animals or other icons of the state (e.g. NSWACT Funnel Webs, SAWA Sharks)
4. Based on a nickname (e.g. A play on the state initials or something)
5. All of the above but just for the primary state OR one that covers both states
6. Community submitted ideas

If you wanted to make a tag too that would be cool.

If we are splitting VIC up (looks very likely) you can do two names for the VIC teams or if the distribution between Melb and the rest of VIC is reasonable then there are two diff team names there.

It's hard to get everyone to agree on one. Like animals or other state icons are kinda lame and also will differ from state to state. Colours are a bit boring. Not much else to choose from.

I propose the QLDNT team be named the QLDNT Sombreros! Why can't a team be named after an inanimate object instead of an animal or some other thing? Also it gets hot in both QLD and NT so Sombreros would be useful. Who is with me!

I think we should rip off QANTAS (Queensland And Northern Territory Air Service) with either of these:
- Queensland And Northern Territory Allied Starcraft
- Queensland And Northern Territory Ass-kicking Squad
- Queensland And Northern Territory Armed Soldiers
- Queensland And Northern Territory Anti-Semites
- Queensland And Northern Territory Aroused Sausages

BTW those teams are for both A and B teamers for now, it's just to keep everyone together and in contact. I set up some games for the 1st Nov when the A and B teams should be decided so you can warm up with NSWACT vs. VICTAS and SAWA vs. QLDNT.

If you wanna make the 'official' teams once A and B are chosen (and you are free to have other clan wars as a team against other clans if you can organise it) the captains will do it.

Because the teams will have 5-6 people who won't agree, it's easier if I just make a reasonable name. If it turn out that people think of a better one then we can rename it or change this one to the B-team or w/e.

Confirmed with Colbi of EG that the winner of this tournament will have a showmatch with Team Evil Geniuses, with more information to be released closer to the date!

Next weekend we will be having the seeding tournaments so this weekend the map pool will be released and more information disclosed.

Made a draft map pool:

For the 5 weeks of the main competition there will be a designated map for the week which your first game of the BO3 will be on, and then the losing player chooses the next map from this map pool. The choice of maps doesn't overlap so you can't choose a map in the 2v2 section for a 1v1 game and vice versa.

1v1 - 14 maps
Fighting Spirit
Match Point
Outsider SE 2.0
Heartbreak Ridge 1.2
Destination 1.1
Neo Medusa 2.1
Andromeda
Carthage 3.0
Colosseum II
Tau Cross
Byzantium III
Blue Storm
Othello
Wuthering Heights

2v2 - 10 maps
Python
Arcadia 2
Gaia
Byzantium III
Colosseum II
Othello
God's Garden
Reverse Temple
Nostalgia
Vampire

Open to suggestions about exclusion or addition of maps.

This Wednesday PureKnight, X-LoSt and myself (and maybe Predator and dAncerS too) are going to have an admin meeting to discuss ideas and iron out some details for the competition so be sure to check back after then for updates!

Speaking of which, I updated the OP with news about Team EG vs. the winning State Team.

Don't forget, we are planning to have most if not all of the seeding tournaments complete by next week!

I am without internet for 1-2 weeks at most so for now PureKnight_au, dAncerS, and Predator_au may have to help you out and answer questions.

It will be unlikely that my internet is up in time to be there for the tourney this sunday but I will try and get PK to turn up otherwise PM or email me all info, dramas, results, etc.

Made some updates to rank, hopefully you can confirm:

X-EdgE reached C+ (from C/C+)
ttSeason reached C+ (from C-)
PerfectHydra reached C+ (From C)
dAncerS reached C (from C-)

Also a reminder - the format will be similar to proleague and the team captain will organise with the teams a date and time for the game as well as the lineup. This will be submitted in confidence without knowledge of the opposing team's lineup. Games will be 4 1v1s and a 2v2 game and you will state first and second replacements for each game in case someone cannot show up at the scheduled time. If you know early that not enough players can show up, your state's B-team will acts as a 'shadow team' from which you can pick replacements if you do it with enough time to spare before the games and inform the opponent.

Will compile some more detailed instructions and any relevant rules later but for now I only just got internet back :3 Cheers.

For now I need to hear from anyone interested in becoming a Team Captain!

Already have X-EdgE as having expressed interest in leading SAWA/WASA.

Sorry for all the delays but with me being busy/away for 3 weeks because of uni and then this postponed exam I have not had much time to talk to PureKnight.
