Australian StarCraft Event ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tsld/images/flags/au.png)
With a short break between the StarCraft 2 Beta phase 1 and phase 2/release of the game, I am taking the last opportunity to host Season 2 of the State of Origin StarCraft: Brood War Competition. With the unprecendented success of the previous season, in which the imba QLD/NT team took out the Grand Final against NSW/ACT, it would be a shame to end the SoO legacy so soon. Regarded for single-handedly reviving the Aussie SC:BW scene, the second installment seeks to reproduce this feat - which saw living legend  Legionnaire return to SC1 to play for his home state, and even a few familiar SC2 faces in pinder, Azz and mOOnGLaDe (and it should come as no surprise when I tell you that 3 of these 4 guys came from the winning state team).
While the beta in Australia looking to make less of an impact than expected (being stuck on the SEA server, high cost of the game) I am hopeful that there will be enough interest in the event to form at least four competitive state teams. Now might be the last chance to have a significant number of Australian players active in the SC1 scene so hop on board! The prize last season was that an All-Star Team of the best SoO performers got the chance to show their skills on the big stage with a showmatch against American team Evil Geniuses, which the State All-Stars ended up taking out 4-1.
The format last season was 5 A-Teams consisting of one or two states (QLD/NT KHAN, NSW/ACT ACE, SAWA Stars, VIC Entus, VIC T1), with competition rounds played in best-of-five format including 3 1v1s, a 2v2 and an ACE match. Individual games were BO3, with the ACE being BO1. The finals were BO7. There were also B-Teams which turned out as a great way of meeting new local players and even resulted in an active Aussie D to C rank clan, Terror Australis, headed by various B-Team captains from SoO.
Round 2 should be following a similar format to last season, see details below.
Details
- Date: Round 1 starting June 24th
- Location: iCCup server, channel "op [TA]" on iCCup
- Structure: Clan League style, with teams of 5-7 players submitting lineups a few days in advance. Games are BO3 on predetermined maps and played out over the entire weekend, with optional meetup times.
- Teams: Teams will be based on Australian states, rearranged as balance and competition dictates (e.g. one possible combination is QLD, NSW, VIC and 'the rest'). There may be B-Teams if the numbers are large enough.
- Admin/s: iCCup.deL
- Prizes: None for now, but pending interest I may look into it. Feel free to suggest something.
Right now nothing is set in stone, including the teams involved or tournament structure. However, what I am doing now is taking names and probing for assistant admins, team captains, player numbers, possible prizes, etc. For now, express your interest by signing up - but please, only sign up if you think you can make it most weeks!

boost for the ACT lineup, fadetowhite signs up.

How would New Zealanders feel about playing as a B-Team in this comp?
|
I have played less than 100 games of sc1 but would gladly play (get owned), cant play until the 29th tho. Also what do you mean by B team, there are 2 leagues? Will sign up properly if NZers are allowed.
If you happen to do something like this for sc2 please include New Zealand (like you have done for the sc2 tourns so far), we have to stick together being on SEA server and all! xD
|
NZ will deffo be included in SC2 events man.
BTW guys Teamaus website is coming back!
