Storku threw $100 at me to host a fun invitational, so I decided to host a Random vs Random tournament with a bunch of the best current players as well as a few oldies. The idea of the tournament is to have, well, a bunch of fun.

Elegant[AoV] will be casting alongside some of the players participating. We'll also have a special guest for the 3rd place match and finals.
Prize Pool
1. $50
2. $35
3. $15

Artanis violates rules 2 and 3.

To be a bit nit-picky:
Your image of Arkanoid shows Arkanoid 1.0, not Neo Arkanoid 2.0.
Your image of Moon Glaive shows Moon Glaive 1.0, not Neo Moon Glaive 2.1.
And your image of Bloody Ridge shows Bloody Ridge 1.0, not New Bloody Ridge 2.1.
You can find images of the correct versions in the corresponding liquipedia articles.

I'm afraid the tournament's limited to 8 invites, but if anyone doesn't show up you're more than welcome to take their place.

Nice nice, this looks hype. Lets see if dRaW's mass practicing as of recent will pay off.

He'll have to off-race a lot, though.

My only concern is what to do with the prize money.

I like the map selection, good variety for a random vs random tour. We might get some hillarious games.
|
Let me know if a caster is needed. If I can I will help casting.
|
WHAT??!! NO FS ?!

Have a nice Life with it. Should be enough to carry on through-out your life.
Nice tournament, will be fun to watch as I am random myself. Maybe some of those guys complaining about random being OP will finally realize that it is not.

just noticed flight path has neutral CCs

In fact, when you actually play it 1v1, it will only have one neutral CC, on the free spawn.
The beacons on the "flight paths" will appear in the player colours, so one can use those as a scouting aid to find the enemy's spawning point.
Xel'Naga Temples are stacked 2 times.
There's also a  liquipedia article on the map now.

I thought for a rvr tour in the close past, too bad it`s only 8 players.
|
first thing i tough when seeing 8 player random vs random was a race wars... guess this is ok too 
|
sounds fun. If we want to a be replacement we just show up?

I might get starstruck if that's the case.

Now I am chronologically confused, with end of summer time (DST):
Is this now actually going to commence at 16:00 or is it still 17:00 current (winter) time?

haha if only we had a tourney with this ruleset and map pack back in say, 2004-2008 xD
for the past 7 years I've been mostly afk and when I've played, it's been zvt/zvp/pvz. Still would think I have 5 times more random experience than everybody else combined - but I'm afraid the rvr knowledge I had is largely dated.
|
5 pool, bbs and proxy 9/9 are timeless.
|
... but don't work on Flight Path or Arkanoid...
Stream will start at 17:00 as well?!

this was a pretty good game until Sarens decided to stay on 110 supply with 8k minerals in bank for no reason whatsoever....

|
That was pretty crazy.
Are VODs available yet?
|
indeed i loved play in arkanoid,it was really cool,also that island map Megatron Head wasnt so bad,the problem is that is a bit hard to range ur camp
|
Not sure what you mean by "range your camp"

its mostly a problem in foreigner maps and island maps,but hard to explain hmm,no the best example ,

but it was a bit frustrating for sarens playing marwin how dificult was for his units to walk and keep the battle lines.

The map is not meant to accommodate huge ground armies walking around on it in the first place...

Unfortunately, as it was not planned to cast from my channel I did not remember to change my channel settings to save past broadcasts so the VOD got lost 
|
:C
Can we have a rep-pack then?
