Corumjhaelen I'm proud to sponsor LRM) for the third edition of the Gambit's Cup. I'm confident that they will have a very strong showing, and I sure hope they can take it all. In particular, I wish the best to LRM)Bakuryu in his ZvTs LRM)nOoNe in his amazing cheeses, LRM)Game in his walls, and the rest of the line up in the amazing games I'm sure they'll provide to the lucky viewers.
Match 1: Sunday May 26th 1700CET (First map: New Heartbreak Ridge) Match 2: Sunday June 2nd 1700CET (First map: Polaris Rhapsody) Match 3: Sunday June 9th 1700CET (First map: New Heartbreak Ridge)
Each clan war will consist of seven best-of-1 games. The first four games of a clan war will take place at the same time. The fifth, sixth, and seventh game will be played one at a time. Players may only play one game per clan war, excluding the ace match. Anyone on a team may play the ace match. Each team requires a minimum of 3 people being present at a clan war. Managers need not be present; any team member may submit a lineup. The lineup that is submitted first is the one that will count.
Neo Jade is the permanent ace map. Maps will always be played in the same order relative to the starting map: New Heartbreak Ridge -> Tau Cross -> Eye of the Storm -> Polaris Rhapsody -> Outsider SE -> Fighting Spirit -> New Heartbreak Ridge
Teams will be awarded one point per game win. Teams will be awarded one additional point for being the clan war victor. Teams will be awarded one additional point if they win the clan war 4-0 (this is in addition to the one point for being the clan war victor). In the event that an entire clan war is a walk-over, it will count as a 4-0 for the team that is present with the appropriate points awarded. If a walk-over is double sided, neither team will receive points.
If two or more teams have an equal number of points going into the playoffs, the team with the highest number of game wins will advance. If the number of game wins are tied, the team with the lowest number of game losses will advance. If the number of game losses are tied, an additional match will take place before the start of the playoffs.
The first match of the playoffs will be the 2nd place finisher of the season vs the 3rd place finisher of the season in a normal bo7 format. The winner of this match will play the 1st place finisher in the grand finals. The grand finals will be three bo7s. A team will need to win two bo7s to be the grand champions.

I agree completely
10 or even 8 teams would be amazing !!! a league with a odd number of teams is far less exciting !
So we have 7 pretty stable teams looking at the lineups any chance that we could get GT back for the 8th team and for the teamless higher caliber players

Getting GT back would be a good solution and maybe we could convince players like G5 who are currently teamless (to my knowledge), but pretty skilled to participate.

or create something like Gosu Oldschool Team or something. I like it !
finally! great news, we've been waiting so long ^^

Dont think anyone use Mini or Chaos anymore : )....all using W launcher, its much better.
seconded, please add wlauncher to this list to avoid unnecessary confusion, since it has become the most popular one.

Maybe, but what you said before about making 3 more teams. I don't think 10 active teams is possible, right now, but another really strong team can be made with the people that are left over.

A few teams have asked me if they could join the league. If they do join, I will have to remake the schedule. Also, if your team is interested in joining, please remember that you will have to pay the $50 buy-in that every other team originally paid.
DEADLINE FOR NEW TEAMS TO JOIN IS SUNDAY, MARCH 3RD AT 23:59 EST
Regarding W-Launcher:
I know nothing about this launcher, could someone please provide me with some information?
From what I understand, wlauncher was Mini's competitor for a while but recently seems to have overtaken them (better AH?), causing most Koreans to switch to it and most foreigners to follow suit. I personally have switched to wlauncher as well (partly because Mini stopped working).

Seems pretty unfair that your team's manager is also running the league.

Why? As long as they don't leave mid-round, I don't see any issues.

As far as the last part of the rule set concerning administrative decisions on LRM), I will not be accessible to any of you... I don't want any of you to try to contact me, I will not respond. When an issue arises, nOoNe should give the initial ruling in which case, a manager may request that it be escalated if the decision does not please them, nOoNe will appropriately escalate the matter which I will then give a ruling on (LRM may also escalate issues revolving around their own team). When this is completed, nOoNe will post the ruling in the thread and I will acknowledge it.
Keep in mind, when an issue is escalated, it is not guaranteed to change and if it does change, it is not guaranteed to change in favour of the party which escalated the issue. Once an issue is sent to myself, the process may not be undone and the team will live with whatever decision may come out of it, there won't be any reverting because the submitting team "withdraws" the submission.
Note: This option of escalating a decision is very much a last resort when you have been treated unfairly from an unbiased stand point. People who spam this avenue of over ruling virtually every week will be put on an ignore list where nOoNe will only forward things which, to the best of his knowledge, I may oppose to.

i personally still use mini, but will probably change when i can be bothered

Since you are listed as sponsor, may I ask if the money is already there, or do you still collect it?

I brought up the wLauncher issue during the ASL2, but apparently, nobody paid any attention to that. I said Koreans were switching over to wLauncher, and now the whole server uses wLauncher. I mean, for Pete's sake, it's a Korean server built for Koreans, and not meant to be foreigner-friendly.

Thats good Eywa~ Stick with sponsoring and dont make decisions, which will surely improve the league! Even with the very slight bias of LRM)Noone, I'm sure he will still manage things better than you! Looking forward for gc3 round 2

Since you are listed as sponsor, may I ask if the money is already there, or do you still collect it?
I already have the money.
Regarding W-Launcher
I just need to know if both people are required to use it, or if both people can use different launchers.
Reps leaving GC... That's kind of hard to believe. i hope that reps decides to participate anyway and maybe updates their roster a little and that the 8th team is announced soon (hopefully)
When this goes live can we have recommended games? It would be very helpful as I can add them to the recommended Brood War game playlist for easy finding even more awesome games? Good Luck everyone participating!

1: Team FR has been added to the front page. We now have a total of 8 teams. 2: The prize pool has been increased to $1800. 3: I want to talk to a few managers before I produce a finalized schedule. It should be up by tomorrow night.

I've updated the Liquipedia page as best I can with the new teams. It's still missing a lot of flags so if you know what country a player is, please edit that in
Also, the original plan for GC seems to have been to have a grand finals that used the results from rounds one and two, but since the teams are different now, how will that work?

Eywa- discussed this with me at the beginning of Round 1, as I posed the same question. He explained that new teams would be treated as equals. What he meant by that is when a new team joins, they haven't done anything good or bad, thus they'll start with a 50% record. I don't know if this can be changed at nOoNe's discretion or not, but it seems fair.

One additional team that I find particularly notable has requested to join. Due to this, I am allowing them until tomorrow night to complete their registration. I apologize for the delay in producing a finalized schedule, but I think that this is the best action for the league. The finalized schedule will 100% be up by tomorrow night, regardless of whether this additional team completes their application on time or not.

Thanks for the Liquipedia help. I didn't consider a "super final" of sorts, and all of the prize money is being utilized. Highly unlikely that Eywa will provide extra funds, so it's likely that no such final will happen. I will think about it though, maybe I'll find a solution.

If they keep the stats carried over from last term that would be fine, but there are completely different teams with new variance I don't think it's really fair. As far as I can tell from the set-up it seems like a separate league almost...

Oh cool, LRM gets the first week off, so they'll get to prepare an extra week and get to see all the starting line-ups and how all the other teams/players perform. I'm sure it was totally random, or based on some system nobody understands though.

I plugged the teams into a random schedule generator, same way I did for the first schedule. I'm getting extremely tired of your immature drama, cut it out.

Game was essential to the community and he still is and people have to realize that, but that still doesnt excuse his bad decision making he should reflect on his mistakes and so should the people who went over the top stirring the drama in the community and basically ganging up on Game.

Yeah, as much as I hate Eywa and you can possibly imagine what I think of Game and his actions, but - noone is not Game, the same way that Bakuryu is not BM. You can't really say LRM = Game, if you did, you'd give a lot of people a bad reputation, who really don't deserve it.

+1. However, doubt this will ever happen, and I don't think Scan's ever going to be able to play in a foriegn bw event ever again.. people are unwilling to forget and forgive - I think we can all vouch that Scan's attitude and behavior in general has changed since his fallout with Joekim; Everybody is young and dumb and makes mistakes - I blame JoeKim for manipulating & scan not being mature enough to know any better for a lot of the things that he has done. Everybody grows up sometime, I use to really hate scan but have grown tolerant of him since his vTv. fallout. Just my two cents, not like it matters or will change anything though.
Also agree with eOn, if you harbor a criminal you yourself become guilty by association and it's actually a crime in America you can be punished for and serve jail time -.-

That's a bit of the problem, usually you can to a third party page and read up the decisions. Gambit Cup doesn't have any, even though it'd help to focus on the league itself. How are you supposed to seperate policy about players and info about the games itself? It's not only coverage in this thread, but also organizing. It would be a great benefit for this league a to have their organizational stuff elsewhere, so readers and viewers can draw a line. I mean on what reasons would you warn/ban, eventually everyone 'just' voice their opinion about participating players and teams? As far as I understood this isn't an official TL.net event, is it?

Yeah. 1 or 2 teams are still a little thin on players... Has anyone approached G5 or pro7ect to join their team. What about djem5?
Seeing infernal and maybe drone play would also be awesome, but I don't know how active these two players are outside of playing in the TLS a bit and if Gotunk used the time that he uses for posting in the health and fitness section of TL (I am not kidding his name is literally plastered over every fitness thread... I am getting a really weird mental image about him in IRL) for playing bw he would also be a great addition to this league...
Regarding drama: I don't understand why foreign bw needs to be plagued by petty drama. Especially drama involving Game, who has nothing to do with the organization of this league. I am the organizer; past events involving Game are completely irrelevant. As such, baseless accusations questioning the integrity of the event will be considered a request to be removed from the league. If you have a problem with something I have done, PM it to me. If you're not satisfied with my response, I will forward it to Eywa. Otherwise, no more useless drama. I will have zero tolerance regarding further drama. Don't test me. Don't be a smartass. You have been warned. Enough is enough.
Here's a nice example of how to get yourself removed from the league: + Show Spoiler +

Regarding Scan: I don't know why people are discussing this, but Scan is permanently banned. If I find him smurfing for any team, the team will be kicked from the league without a refund of the buy-in. I have replays of Scan playing every race, so having him offrace is not a good idea.

After consulting with the team leaders, I have decided to make a small change to the format of the games. Instead of playing one game at a time, the first four will be played at the same time. Games 5, 6, and 7 will be played one at a time to ensure that no team exceeds four wins in a single cw.

why is this? do people feel it takes too long? is this enforced or optional? i don't really mind, but the traditional system provided a distinct atmosphere to Gambit clan wars.
what if the score is 2-2 after the first four sets? will sets 5 and 6 have to be played simultaneously or one by one? this might seem like nitpicking, but there have been times when the expected start of a set played a role in planning the lineup (i'm sure other teams can relate). also a technicality, but suppose two teams preplay 2 sets with a score of 1-1, and then decide to preplay a 3rd set. can the 3rd preplayed set be on the 5th map of the given week?

This will be enforced. The vast majority of team leaders agreed that the current system takes a needlessly large amount of time. I do agree that the previous system provided a unique atmosphere to the clan wars. However, I feel that the time requirement is simply too large. Games can be played simultaneously as long as no team has the opportunity to go above 4 wins. So, if after the first four games the score is 2-2, team leaders can elect to play two more at once. After the first four, I will not require that teams play more than one set at a time, but they may do so.

Under these conditions, I would allow the players to play on the 5th map of the given week. The key is that no team has an opportunity to go above 4 wins.

eoncoach is right imo. bo1 makes the league more exciting, not to mention bo3 would make casting all the games a lot harder. we are going to have plenty of games already with 8 teams playing every week, even if they don't get to the ace match.
i just dont like bo1, theres less bw to play and more chance of randomly fucking up and losing. I have to wake up early for all these leagues and dont get a warmup before, so the first game in a bo3 is usually my warmup. but thats really my problem and not the leagues problem, so keep bo1 if it works better.

A worse player can prepare a very specific strategy for a single MU on a single map and snipe somebody maybe even 2-3 ranks above him. Now of course if the better player prepared for that map as well he might know what kind of cheese or specific strategies are possible on that map and simply rape the other player.

If you are prepared, you should have a huge advantage in a bo1. i.e you are more likely to perform to your capability than say someone who didn't prepare and is just going to wing it...+ Show Spoiler +

is this an april fools joke, or for real?
It's real. Daylight savings time took effect now in Europe too, so it's not noon anymore like it was while we had daylight savings in effect & europe did not.

Sayle's a monster when it comes to casting. If anybody can do it, it's him :D. Maybe you can talk to him and co-cast, would be good to get somebody who has in depth game analysis in the casts ^^
I got info from korean friend that server resets 1.4 5am korea time = 22CET if im not wrong .. i cant say its true 100%, so lets just hope it wont reset b4 22CET ..
Just a friendly reminder to all managers and players about this rule:
13) Rules Concerning Spoilers • Players are forbidden from sharing, implicitly or explicitly, the results of a league match with anyone other than the administration, the players on their own team, and the players on the opposing team.

I bring this up because someone has leaked the results of a match that is yet to be broadcasted to another website.

Plz remove me from LRM roster. Im leaving LRM due to the lack of "team" atmosphere and difficulty in finding practice partners. I also have no time to play bw anymore, need to concentrate on school for the next few months. I apologize for my terrible performances.

hmmm.im a very active player and i dont Heard about a new popular map made by foreigners.maybe from bwmn maps u can take one or two >.>
do we know anything about the future of the league? i had the feeling this was the final one since it is Eywa's league after all, right? and he basically left the scene if i'm not mistaken.
I think the GC matches are going to be moved earlier so they don't conflict with TLS qualifiers. I don't know how the casting will work. I really want to do LRM/SJ and iFU/NW this week but two CWs + TLS quals when I have work on Monday is a bit :S
yeah, that sucks a bit GC Starts 17:00 and TLS 18:15... mb u could start casting one GC match live, then TLS and then the 2nd match? For now the sunday TLS has 50 ppl registerd. Mb it wont take too long? That would be a "Sayle Marathon!"
LRM vs SJ and iFU vs NW will be casted on Monday, May 13 4:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00). The cast is being delayed a day due to conflicts with TLS and Mother's Day.
The other two cws will be casted at a later time this week.
I'm sorry to ask again, but I still do not get it... If NW just wins this clanwar without 4-0 they would have the same amount of points as LRM right? But since the first criterium in case of a tiebreaker is the amount of games won, NW would be ahead by one game win and advance I thought. Still don't know what I am missing here since it's the 2nd thread where this is the case...

Yes, I updated the OP with starting maps for the grand finals.
There was a miscommunication between myself and L_Master, so the wrong cws were casted on Monday. As such, NW vs iFU will take place on Wednesday, May 15 5:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) instead of the previously stated date.

i refuse to have alfio's trash talk in the official channel for next week's gambit finals. if he talks shit again sas will give WO for the remaining games and withdraw from the league. his behaviour is pathetic and inexcusable. i did not save screenshots, but LRM)nOoNe knows exactly what i'm talking about (so does probably everyone else who knows anything about alfio).
i've no idea what skzlime talks about specifically (wasn't there), but I sure can imagine it. That's why i refused to play the showmatch yesterday against him.

There was trash talk coming from sas as well. Admittedly, sas's bm wasn't as much as AlfiO's by a long shot, but if both sides are going to do it I'm not going to punish for it.
guys battle net have a option that is called /ignore hard to use it ? or u guys just like to see it ? -_- jesus we everyone here is old stop cry about bm T_T
no need for punishment. i am super calm usually. i do not anger easily. alfio managed to make me go rage mode in 5 minutes. some friendly bm is okay, i found it funny at first, but then he crossed every possible line. i don't usually care about these things, but this time i actually got mad enough to post about it. there were no problems during the cw, everything went fine until the last game. i have nothing against ifu, but do i really need to /ignore one of their players? seriously.
so basically in Gambit Cup a player can get a ban from the finals for not typing 'gg', and not receive a warning for excessive BM during a cw the finals? : D

i mean that I was banned from the finals last season. but still...
• Excessive bad mannered behavior is forbidden in clan war channels. An administrator will warn a player to stop before penalties are issued. Penalties will be in the form of a ban from playing in the next consecutive clan war.
btw, i have nothing personal against ifu or alfio here. I know Alfio is bm and I accept that to some extent. It's all fine in a way. But not taking any action against that while having a super important player banned from the finals of last season is completely frustrating to experience

Ooooooh *contemplates* should I intervene as the humanitarian psychologist role? I think so! AlfiO has admitted in confidence to eOnzErG (who betrayed him) that he is constantly beaten and verbally abused by his father. Thus, he's less susceptible to accepting moralities as truths. In such, he's simply acting out and everyone should be Hands Across America for him.
But seriously, at LRM) vs iFU, AlfiO literally didn't stop BMing for a good 45 minutes. Even dOTY ignored him. I'll repeat that. EVEN DOTY IGNORED HIM. <--- serious sign of too much BM

It's mindgames. He's playing the metagame to make you play angry instead of playing focused.
Sorry AlfiO for giving away this secret tactic but skzlime bribed me with gucci bag.

I thought this was happening tomorow. Sorry about the lack of LR guys. I can't have any vacation time apparently. I hope the games were great. I'll do my best to have one up for day 2.
Sayle will be casting day 2 of the Grand Finals on Sunday, Jun 02 5:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00). This week, the showmatch will be a bo3 between Bakuryu and TerrOr.
I will post this here as well in case anyone missed the cast:
Dear Brood War Community,
It is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that there will be no future seasons of Gambit’s Cup. This is largely due to Eywa’s departure from the community as well as my heavy load of academic responsibilities. However, even with this loss, I am confident that our humble community will remain strong and persevere, especially in the capable hands of Sayle, L_Master, and 2Pacalypse.
The lack of future seasons does not, by any means, indicate that this current season was a failure. In fact, this season we saw some of our highest viewership numbers on record. I want to thank Eywa for his guidance and his extremely generous prize pool; Sayle and L_Master, both for their outstanding ability to create highly entertaining media for hours on end; Shiroiusagi for her masterful artwork; Stratos for his excellent introductory video; and 2Pacalypse-, corumjhaelen, dRaW, nagisama, itsjustatank, Kiante, Epoxide, ninazerg and BisuDagger for creating large amounts of hype for the event. The success of this event would not have been possible without all of your contributions.
Thank you nOoNe, this season of Gambit's Cup was awesome! And as you said, I have no doubt in my mind that BW community will persevere, forever! bw4lyfe~
edit: and a message from AlfiO!
[22:28:57] AlfiO: Okay since i don't visit teamliquid [22:29:11] AlfiO: If you can add to your post another one with thank to all staff by AlfiO
Thanks Dave, but to explain my bad play early and mid game : ) : i somehow thought hes on 2bases and he gonna timing attack so i mass gws + arbiter on 2bases, and then when i scouted his 3rd after 5mins i realized that im really behind, but i decided not to allin, just macro and recalls ...
As promised, you can download every replay from this round through this link. If a set is skipped, it is because it was a walkover. No replays are missing (nice job sending everything in guys).
Big thanks to 2Pacalypse- for uploading all of the replays to a permanent address for me.
