What?
Silky Goose has decided to sponsor the scene with a €50 donation with the intention of bridging the gap between the oldschool and newschool players. Another donator added €10 to the pool, making the total €60. We're going to host a little King of the Hill event on Sunday, Aug 24 3:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) which will last two and a half hours. At the end, the player with the most wins will play against the player sitting on the throne (in case they're different). Winner takes all.
How does it work?
There will be two lineups; the Oldschool players of which anyone playing in the Reunion Tournament is allowed, and the Newschool players which have participated in tournaments and had top finishes within the last year. Participants from both groups will play a Micro Tournament to decide the order in which they can play before the broadcast goes live, so players will be expected to be there half an hour early. If a newschool player is defeated, they're replaced with the next highest seed of the newschool players. Same goes for the oldschoolers.
Maps
Python Destination
Blue Storm Tau Cross
The starting map will be Tau Cross. From there on out, the challenger may pick from the map pool.
Newschool lineup
- sas.ZaraKi
- LancerX
- sas.Sziky
- Marwin
- Bonyth[PaiN]
- LRM)INF3CTED
- ZZZero
- trutaCz
Reserve:
- [sc1f]Eonzerg
- Belladona
- dr.shrinker
What if the matches are too onesided?
If it turns out the skill gap is far too large, handicaps will start to be introduced. Creativity is encouraged.
Can I donate?
You can donate to increase the prize pool directly. Please state clearly in the comments that you wish to donate for the Oldschool vs Newschool KOTH event.
Broadcast
The event will be broadcasted live by Sayle and Players from the tournament and last two hours, after which we will finish up the Reunion Tournament.

Aw yeah. Artanis is boss, bringing bw tourneys back.
|
That is more interesting than that reunion tournament. But I fall into the bad old school player so I won't be participating -_-

Sure

Sorry to say but 2 hours is not enough for a king of the hill event. If someone wins a game or two and wants to kill time to keep their record they can just camp and defend from a deficit and prolong the game for an hour... Second question, does Scan qualify for this?

If anyone does dumb shit like that they're disqualified by default.
Second question, does Scan qualify for this?
The event is for the amateur/foreign scene. Given Scan's activity I wouldn't consider him an amateur.

|
So sziky will play for the oldschool or the newschool ?
|
I think newschool is the wrong term used in this context. I would rather use "still active players" vs "inactive retired players". So I'd guess Artanis would rate him into the former group. Would be dumb if not, tbh.
|
Sure, kinda retarded, i play BW since 2005 ;;
|
jesus stop complaining already
|
Wait, what? People who started playing in 2003 are oldschools and these from 2005 are newschools? Guy just pointed out that more fitting name is "Old players against New players" so i believe that's complaining.
|
i think you should just be happy this is even happening
|
With newschool I mean the people that are still active in the scene. The choice of name was poor, that's true.

You are right, "Newschool" isn't the right name for this group of players lol
|
|
|
Sub Sugo for lancer! We need the legendary russian protoss master.
|
No offence, but I doubt SuGo should be here.
|
enough players for an 2,5h event i guess.
|
Thank you Artanis and Silkygoose.com. I feel like this is a belated birthday gift too me. =)
|
Why not broadcast the micro tournament? It's usually great fun!
|
wow this is nice very nice
|
This'll be hilarious, and yes please someone stream the microtournament, I think that will be great in its own right.
Also LANCER #1
other than that I hope Bonyth joins in for the active players

There are hardly any top foreigner terrans. Scan doesn't count since he's basically Korean.

Not just basically, he is Korean.

Sorry dOTY, but the team is full. You can be put in the replacement list if you want.

#free LANCER
Also too bad Bizzy isn't active at the moment
|
Well with Sziky, eOn, Marwin and trutaCz the chances of the oldschool players shrinks dramatically. Doesnt really need Bizzy nor Scan. Will be onesided anyways..

This map will be used for the Micro Tournament seeding round. Make sure to pick the 1-15 Lain option as some of the added levels later on are pretty dumb.

You're streaming the micro tourney right?
What's the prize pool up to?
I just donated $15, awesome tournament.

I can't, all 8 spots will be used by players to determine seeding. If any of them wants to stream it though, they're welcome to.

For this specific event, it's still €50. The prize pool for the Reunion Tournament is €630 total.
Do you want your $15 to go to the prize pool for this event or for the Reunion Tournament?
|
Eonzerg withdraws and makes place for LancerX.
|
Put it towards the KOTH, seems the other tourney is already funded well enough.
|
I don't think all the players will get a chance to play with this format. Good luck to whoever gets bottom on their respective lists 
|
Can u add me im on a terrific 2/0 winstreak on fish

Yeah but I've seen TL articles/recaps calling him half-korean or whatever since he basically grew up in the US or something along those lines. I know he's full Korean ethnicity but I suppose the question is in the nationality. After all, he was allowed to participate in TSL, a non-Korean tournament, before he was caught ladder abusing.

So were a lot of Koreans living in the US. It's only a problem now that scan is too good. Sad...

easier to ban him than practice
|
Who says it's a problem? I'm just quoting him, basically korean or half-korean sounds a bit like an insult. Personally I've always been for allowing Koreans in foreigner tours, I'm just not vocal about it, they're not my tours after all.
|
Banning scan for being good would be like banning idra because he was in Korea on CJ Entus.
|
I am playing 1v1 since 2008 so I think I am perfect example of a new school player, not to mention I broke into higher ranks after 2010(when sc2 was introduced). I would gladly join the list if there is room, this is going to be good and thanks artanis!
|
Who are the oldschool players? I don't see a roster yet.
|
|
|
Inactive oldschool players vs active newschoolers? I guess that will be onesided 
|
Well, the micro tour results should've been inverted lol with sziky playing the last.

It was Sziky to start for new school against the likes of ClouD, PredY, TT1 and Fosken. Others were trutacz and marwin I believe. Infested too as well (interview has all new school players).

Well, it was to be expected...

Sziky vs rest of the world ;
