I signed up using my smurf sziky. You can watch some of my reps from TLS if you haven't seen my play much.

At it was you... I always thought that this guy wasn't bad, that explains it !

Thanks again for choosing my map - let me know if you find any bugs or significant imbalances during gameplay and I'll try to fix them as soon as possible

Hi, Negative, long time no see :D
Have you debugged the resources, yet?

EDIT: Nevermind, I checked with Protoss, and only found two or three minor issues, that are not really worth it bothering about...

To below: Faux 3D highground patches?! I mean, sure, the whole of BW is essntially "faux 3d", so to speak... But... I don't get it.
But this map is amzingly beautifully made.

Great initiative!
The more I look at Overwatch the sexier it looks. Those faux 3D high ground patches...mmm.

SST should be fine. The name/abbreviation is probably the least important thing about this tournament, so whatever works, works. In my opinion anyway.

In other news, the number of signups is up to 36 now, which is pretty great considering how short notice this was.

+ Show Spoiler +

This is a question that we've sort of avoided so far.
On the one hand, excluding players because of their nationality feels wrong to me personally, and also doesn't go well with SBWI's idea of delivering BroodWar content to everyone. On the other hand, the SSL/SRT tournaments gives korean players plenty of opportunities to earn both money and glory, but being an offline event means that foreigners can't really participate in those events. Additionally, having the same players that compete in SSL/SRT dominate a bunch of foreign events, whether hosted by SBWI or not, could possibly be detrimental to the foreign scene in general.

Short answer: for this particular event we're not excluding Koreans, provided that they follow the rules (just like everyone else) and have at least a rudimentary understanding of English (rudimentary as in, they can communicate about any problems to a tournament admin).

This is a question we'll need to discuss internally for future events though.

EDIT: We've decided to shamelessly steal the ruleset from the TLS qualifiers regarding Korean players. They are as follows:

Players are eligible to participate in this tournament if:

He grew up in a location without a professional StarCraft scene; OR
He currently resides in a location without a professional StarCraft scene and is not affiliated with a professional StarCraft team; AND
He does not have connection lag that would significantly impact quality of play

Great organisation. I tried to check in at 13:55 ( I barely managed to get back to home just to participate in tour) - of course grid was up, with Freeslots. The answer was - it's not our fault, it's iccup website clock, which is badly set up. Sorry, but it was your fault, you could change start time to 14:10 to avoid difference in website time, or avoid iCCup site to maintain this tour. You could also write anything about that time difference here in info post. But you didn't.
