So guess what? The Yellow StarLeague round of 32 has finally arrived (in force) and promises to blow your socks off with a level of C-level that will send shivers up your spine and blow your mind. I know that sounds like I'm hyping it up A LOT. And I am. But this doesn't mean we're not going to have a lot of fun playing StarCraft. On the contrary - with BWalma (as Pucca) and iFU.BMW jumping on to cast the nail-biting and nerve-racking round of 32, and a prize pool of 250 dollars on the line, we will almost certainly have a memorable weekend of epicness and hilarity, which you are cordially invited to tune into and enjoy on Monday, September 3rd at 12:00 PM EST!

1. Don't cheat. 2. A map cannot be used more than once in each round. 3. You must save all of your replays have submit them to me before Monday, or you may be penalized. 4. Do not use bad manners in the lobby, channel or in-game.
- Saying "Fuck you" - Saying "You are shit." - Racism, "French people are bad.", "Koreans are rude", "Chinese people lag", etc. - Homophobic remarks, "That was gay", "What a fag", "Faggot", etc. - Offensive sexual dialogue, "Suck/lick my dick/cock/penis/balls" or "You are a pussy", "You're a twat" - Telling people to "Go to hell" - Saying "Fuck off" - Disparaging another players' skill, "You suck", "Learn to play", "gtfo", "lol ur bad", "noob", "lamer", "sad cheeser", "lucky", etc - Putting in your profile any of this. - Telling people to "Shut up" - Insulting another player, "Idiot", "Dumbass", "Get a life", "You have no life" - Saying "lol", "lmao", "rofl", "ez", "trololol", "leave please", "You have no chance", "xaxaxa", "hahahah", "jajaja" to insult your opponent. You can say "lol I'm bad", but do not direct your laughter towards your opponent. - Telling your opponent your position in-game - Switching races before the game starts - Refusing to play on a certain map - Telling your opponent to exit the match at any point during the game, or preemptively saying "gg". You may only say "gg" when YOU are leaving the match. - Spamming text on the screen or excessive chatter. - Unpausing the game before your opponent says "go" - Pausing the game without saying "pp" or "pause" or "sec" - Pausing the game then leaving. - Pausing the game, then taking like 4 hours to come back. - Changing the latency of the game over and over and over repeatedly. - Telling people to "learn english" - Trying to colorfully talk in a dignified and pseudo-polite manner to try and circumvent the rules, "I made beautiful love to your mother in the evening prior to this, and while I disagree with some of your methods concerning strategy, particularly how early you decided to engage me in aggression, but I commend you on your victory, but sincerely hope that I will prevail against tactics of such simplicity in the following match, my good fellow!" Because... just no. - Drawing a text-penis or boobs.
What is NOT bm:
- Saying "good game" instead of "gg" - Cheese - Building a proxy nexus, cc, or any type of building - Any legal StarCraft function, including building pylons all over the map, or lifting all your buildings and stalling after you've lost. - Making fun of your own skill, as long as you're not spamming text. More along the lines of "lol I suck at this build." then shutting up from that point on. - Saying "omg", or "wtf", as long as you're not spamming them. - Scouting a 6-fact push as Protoss and saying "Shit just got real"
As a rule of thumb, be respectful, be courteous, and be nice. It's okay to have emotions and it's okay to get angry, especially when you fail at something you wanted to win, but don't take it out on the people in the tournament. Try not to stress out over little things, and stay focused on having fun and improving.
5. When you have lost your game, say "gg" and immediately leave. 6. If there is excessive lag (like it's unplayable even on Extra High Latency because the movement becomes choppy), immediately leave the game before the 2-minute mark. If you stay in the game past 2 minutes, you must play the entire game. 7. All matches that are unplayable due to lag will be decided at the tournament staff's discretion. 8. Standard iCCup rules for matches apply. 9. All players will be required to play on the ID they registered to play on. 10. All games must be played on iCCup Launcher, with LAN LAT: ON. 11. Any third-party programs that alter gameplay in any manner are strictly prohibited with the exception of iCCup Launcher. Hacking is prohibited and will result in a ban from ALL future tournaments. 12. All complaints in-channel must come with a screen capture with the /time command. Failure to do so could potentially result in your complaint being denied, although certain exceptions may be made if there is an individual exhibiting a repeated antagonist behavior. 13. The rules can change at any time, for any reason, sometimes randomly, and for no apparent reason, because there is no justice in this world. 14. If it is discovered that you are above the maximum points for qualification in this tournament, you will be disqualified. 15. If you cannot play your match at the appropriate time on Sunday, contact your opponent, and set up a new time with them. It must be before Monday. You must both agree on the time for it to be valid. If you attempt to abuse this rule to dodge your opponent and get a walkover against them, you will be disqualified at the tournament staff's discretion. 16. You may not play your matches using your toes unless you are missing both arms. 17. Spoiling your games could cause you to be penalized. 18. No one but yourself can play on your account. You will be banned from all future events if you do this. Do not do this.

[YSL]MVP will be playing TvP TvZ and PvT for the tour. According to his messages on skype, his decision to play as Zerg was "a joke". If he tries to switch his race for the tour again, I will hunt him down and give him a polite but stern talking-to.

There's a lot of (OD), [wOk], Fox, and [KDV] people in the tour, so it's pretty expected that some of them will run into each other very quickly, but all I can say is - go get 'im!

Alright, but if you can contact WendiGo and work out an earlier play time BEFORE Monday, that will be even better.

I think Oxy wants to play earlier than Sunday as well, so this could work out nicely.

By the bears of Russia, I will send you some replays to cast.
I waited two hours for munkie. I said I could play anytime Friday at 4:00pm EST. Anytime Saturday. He said he could play today but apparently he couldnt. I think I can play tomorrow at 9-10:00am EST. Is it possible we can play Monday?
The only time I can't play is like at 12:00pm EST. I can play probably at 7:00pmEST and after. Please tell me another time you can play since apparently you couldnt make it today
Can't you play later tonight? As i do not know when I'll be home tomorrow that doesn't work for me since I can't agree on a time to play as of now. The admins need a confirmed time and date asap if we're going to reschedule.
If you haven't played your games yet, and are waiting to do so, you still have time to play! You have until tomorrow to play, but get your games played as soon as possible.
Don't forget to send your replays to ysleague@yahoo.com! Thanks!

If he can't play, then unfortunately, he may have to be disqualified and you will walk over to the next round. I hate to do that, but sometimes these things happen =/
Hello. Would like to ask if I am able to make an accpetion. If Dr.Shrinker and I can play tommorrow . I wasn´t able to make, because family issues: Please.

Dr.Shrinker it is up to you, I can play anytime you are ready today.!
I'd like to say it was actually more like 10 and a half hours of straight casting but w/e. Regardless every single of the 36 VODs recorded are being uploaded to the YellowStarLeague youtube channel if you missed anything. Each game is separated for conveince as well.

We're not going to do anything with the overlay.
Remove Drop Shadow from the minimap borders might help to see whether the top mineral expos are mined out or not.

Each round is Sunday same time, although I think we're gonna move the time up 1 hour to 17:00 GMT (+00:00) to avoid any conflict with ASL and CL. Check out http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Yellow_Starleague for matchups and results.
Speaking of which, I need someone to help me with liquipedia. I wanna try and get the vods linked next to each match in the bracket, if that's possible.

I don't think it's possible. I wanted to get little vod icons next to each match in the bracket that link to vods on youtube . But i got help on another way to do it, by adding those match summary templates underneath. It's not exactly what i was looking for but it'll do.

We try to be consistent in Liquipedia, and VODs are usually not added directly into the bracket, but in the game per game details under. (would be kinda shitty to add 5 icons in the brackets for a bo5 anyway).
Today's schedule was absolutely insane! I'll try to put together a ro16 post by tomorrow, but I expect my schedule to get more and more hectic as I move more into the school year.

You can't switch race in the middle of the tournament buddy, sorry.
I misunderstood the rules and I already talked to nina about this and she said it was okay.
What race are you playing for this?
Check your PM later as well since I want to play at a different time so it doesn't clash with ASL.
That is a ridiculous lie, you think you can get special treatment because you say " Oh I mis understood / didn't understand the rules" but now you get to play whatever race you want? Nah man, nah. I wasn't able to switch races in ro32, and you aren't going to be able to either. Why? Because that is simply not fair.
Small interview with splax ^_^ sorry for my english + Show Spoiler +

That's what I signed up for because I thought we could race pick against players. If you want and the organisers agree, I'm okay if you race pick against me as long as you state it here.
It doesn't matter, that is what you signed up for, that is what I signed up for, that is what we play, no one gets special treatment. I wasn't allowed to switch races before, so you shouldn't be allowed to either, anything else is irrelevant. I won't agree to this and i'm going to dispute it with admins.

No one is getting special treatment. Originally, Fold signed up as Protoss who would play ZvP against certain opponents. I told everyone who was a race-picker that they could not do this. He had to go with either all ZvP or all PvP, and he sent me a message saying that he was picking pure Protoss. So, he didn't suddenly try to switch match-ups for the ro16.
The liquipedia page had him as Zerg based on what he declared in the original thread, which I haven't time to edit as of late because I've been uber-busy with having to go to school AND go to the doctor. Because there are so many Protosses in the tournament, you had to know that eventually, you'd run into one and have to PvP against them, so I sincerely hope you prepared for this match-up as well as your prepared for the other ones.
