Wrong section? This should be in tourneys, right?
|
lol, so you made another one?
circus that is called a "tournament"
|
Why is this reposted? It was closed for a reason.
|
K so remade and in the wrong section. Oh look, prize is increased too, probably to get more people to sign up for a tournament that is impossible to win? Give it up pride.
|
Your last thread got locked , why would you remake :S
|
I missed a beat. Why was the first closed and why is it impossible to win?
|
Seriously? Your last thread get's locked and you make it again?

It looks like it is just ridiculously hard to win; but not impossible.

i don't think you're allowed to advertise on TL unless you make a sponsored thread...not fooling anyone doing this under the guise of a "tournament."
Maybe make an actual tournament...and lol this is SC2 strategy section.
also, highly doubt you have said prize pool available. One reason I say this is because now you even changed it from 3-0ing, to having to 4-0.
|
Oh now I get it. Now I want to know why this was posted in strategy

He's just trying to abuse his way to more stream viewers for his stream. He already cheeses enough on ladder, so now he's spamming about this "tournament" that's virtually unwinnable to the point where you cannot even be sure they would pay out.
Otherwise, if pride wanted such exposure, why not actually make a legit tournament with that prize pool that would attract lots of good players...because they'd have to pay out for sure then, and he probably can't.
|
Rofl this is so pathetic now its 4-0? take your sham of a tournament elsewhere its sad.
|
I'm just wondering why he hasn't really been banned yet :3
|
Who you trying to troll son? + lawls @ the fb link.
|
Yeh... This isn't pokemon. I don't think anyone wants to fight the elite four after winning a tournament. What happens when you 4-0 each grand master, you come out and say you've actually already beaten them first then we have to challenge you?
Then Professor Oak comes when he hears you beat PrideTV and gives you a grand?
|
lol thread... come on dudes make this a bit more legit
|
this is so stupid and lol @ strategy section.
y are they still advertising this?
i bet pride gets banned from TL and his stream gets taken off of TL.
|
my internet lagged  , can the mod move this to the tourny section?
|
Do they just ignore all posts? The unanimous hate towards this thread/"tournament"/group seems an obvious hint to cease and desist...
|
I'm not quite sure why they close the last 3 thread, is it because theres to much negative comment?

It's because your tourney isn't a tourney, just and obvious way to gain exposure to yourself. I know its hard to make it big in SC2 when you only get 50 viewers but have some dignity yo.
|
I played in this tournament. Its fun and a good chance to meet people. you can also obs some great games of GMS. Idk why so many people hate on it, the difficulty of winning the tournament is legit for the ammount of prize money.
|
give the guys a break, the tournament is legit i was on their stream when they talked abot it, ofc it seems "impossible" but it's free 1000$ for some win and with a little luck and a lot skill anyone can win it, mb it would be better as a bo5(needing 3-0 not 4-0) but imo people like MC, TLO, Select can win it with a high probability since the 4gm they have to beat aren't that strong..
. it's not like people have to 4-0 boxer, kiwikaki or idra or some pros
(not to mention some interesting games can come out since idra alrdy played in the tourney but lost and a raging idra is always a sight)
|
I think it's because they think it's a publicity stunt not an actual tournament, and if they delete/locked your old threads don't remake new 1's.
Just take the advise that some of the people here on TL have given you and make a real tournament instead of something that's just out here to get attention, you can get just as much attention with a real tournament even if the prize pool is only around $100 instead of "you have to 4-0 all 3 GM players" and any 1 who knows these players know all they specialize in is cheese so it's pretty impossible.
No GM players will join because they know it's impossible or if any do join is because they might really think they can do it.
Just read your own tourney post and tell us what it looks like to you and maybe you'l see why so many people are flaming you as well.

why wouldnt anyone join, it's not like it has an entry fee... it's free money for them if they are skilled enough (and has some luck with counters)
and btw idra alrdy participated but got beaten
|
Was the previous tourney the same as this recent one? And I'm just going to guess you have something to do with the tourney other than just participating as a player because you'r trying to defend it.
I know it's free but how many people have won any of these tourneys that they have made? I'm not sure but I'm going to guess none am I right? Well just be careful about the posting thing every 1 knows how strict TL is about posting something that has been previously locked/banned, if they didn't want i there the first 3x what makes you think posting it a 4th time would make it right.
If they bann your acc that means you'r stream won't be able to be playing anymore, is that a risk you'r willing to take?

I'm sorry but I don't understand how in the world would internet lag have anything to do with posting a thread in the wrong section especially if you've already made 3 of the same threads and they've all been closed for a reason. I'm also very confident that they were closed for a specific reason by the mod/admin that closed the thread.

Why is it getting harder to win the money now?

I like how all the people defending the tournament in this thread have ~2 posts.

as i said i was on their stream when they talked about it so i felt like i have to say something for the people who think it's not legit, because it is legit.
none won it yet but only 3tournaments were created. think of it as a fun lottery game in sc2, getting 100$ as winner of a small tourney is boring, but getting 1000$ with harder conditions is more interesting imo, and imo really strong pros from 10 tries(equals 100*10=1000) can easily win the 12consecutive game, they probably won against harder opponents more streaks.
and btw conditions like these are really popular in other games, not yet introduced in sc2 but mb it's time! 
(there was a promotion in counter-strike that if u can win 8rounds from 15 against a superpro 1v1 u win 100.000dollars, none won but it was fun)

Can you and your buddies stop making TL accounts just to promote this? It's quite pathetic. Just finish high school and save your SC2 reputation before it is completely tarnished.

i love how negative everyone is about this when i repeat: there is nothing to lose for participants, only to win 1000$ and it's legit, they said that they will probably make a screenshot about the paypal account with 1000$ for evidence.

When the only positive remarks in a tourney thread are made by people involved in the organisation on smurf accounts, you just know it's gonna be awesome!
|
So wait someone has to win 16-0 to take the money? Difficult but I think a korean or top foreigner might be able to do it, and given that these guys keep increasing the money it seems clear they don't think they will have to pay, I'd love to see them lose

Someone with a 90% win rate would only have a 19% chance to go 16-0.
And, they can easily just cheese every game. I don't think anyone has an above 80% win rate against hardcore cheeses. An 80% win rate only has a 3% chance to go 16-0.

making smurfs would be dumb since admins can probably see IPs.
and as i said i only watched their stream, im not even from Korea where they live (im from europe, Hungary)
and only registered to defend them since i heard them FIRST HAND that it's legit, who u want to believe about legitimacy? random people or people who heard them talking? (best answer would be to believe none, but worst is to believe the negative critics which u do....)

Try 20-0, you have to win 4 bo7 without dropping a single game. EGIdrA already tried and failed apparently.

small chance but think of it as a sc2 lottery for high price.
and the reason noone has above 80%winrate is because the blizzard matchmaking system, top ranked gms get to play with top gms not 150th ranked gms.
/and if we are at maths, at a random 32people small tourney with simple elimination in the beginning u will need to win against 6--7 opponents usually if u have a 70%winrate against them it's still ~8% that u win which is not much different than this setup /
|
Wow this thread is so much win. Not the tournament of course, but the smurf accounts trying to defend it. Also: the tournament itself is rediculous and created in the sole purpose of attention.
|
The requirements are a bit crazy, but I don't see why there is so much hate. Seems legit to me unless they end up not paying.
TBH I don't see Protoss and Zerg being able to do this successfully. PvP and ZvZ are too volatile to win a large amount of games consecutively.
|
i dont see why u kids are crying..
it's just a game, ur gonna play the tournament and play vs top players in the process (aka practice games)..
it's definitely not a waste of time, why not attempt to 3-0 three GM players and win $1000?
it's like a lottery by playing SC, sure it's hard and almost impossible. But it's a shot at 1k.
can't you just play and have fun? and if you win the tourney you get the fucking money. jeeze

There is no way that these kids pay up $1000. It's a publicity stunt, they keep adding more players to make it exponentially more difficult.

Its not they can, they will. SCDpride thats all he does is some sort of cheese/all in. I believe the whole SCD team is like that. And its near impossible with how sc2 is right now to beat cheese 16 times straight lol.

if they wouldnt pay anyway why would they make it exponentially more difficult?
they make it difficult because
1. it's 1000$
2. ofc they dont WANT to pay everyone in the world 1000$ but WILL pay if someone wins against the hard conditions
3. if u really hate them: participate in the tournament and win against them so they have to pay u
4. It's FREE to participate, NO entry fee
so i still don't understand the problem

watched the stream earlier tonight and noticed a few things:
-horrible casting
-immature admins/mods/friends/scd children banning viewers and talking trash
-disrupting the game by spamming ingame chat with nonsense
the legitimacy of this "tournament" is easily questionable. if you expect people to believe this crap, grow up.

1.u probably watched when kalu was casting who really is horrible at that :D
2. look at ROOTdestiny, he is the most popular troll in sc2 and still everytime he says he pays up for something, he does.
3.i dont see how are immature friends/mods banning for trashtalking is relevant for the legitimacy in this tournament

There's so much hate being this is not a tournament. Like someone said, this resembles more of a lottery and not a tournament. Yes, someone may win it by going 20-0 against GM, but it's nearly impossible. No one wants to watch 50 weeks of someone trying to do the same shit over and over again and failing because the requirements set up by the OP are retarded. Every week they add a new player and new 4-0 requirement and increase the cash prize, eventually it will be 'Beat 500 GM players and you get 1 million in cash prize (yes we have photo pic of the money!)'

well i would definitely participate in that since it's free lottery, and even the lottery is won sometimes by somebody so u never know...
but would u say it's a tournament if u needed to beat 1gm but would win a million divided by 500(gm)=2000dollars
while the 500times harder conditions with 500times more prize means it's the same tournament structure but the money winnings longterm are not divided amongst people but concentrated on 1, sooner or later someone will win it.
|
So if they don't pay, then the winner gets to see this nonsense ever come up again, period, since they would be banned immediately from z33k and never allowed to run another tournament. Honestly, I don't think anyone is going 16-0, since I know no-one like MC, July, Puma, etc. is going to jump in this tournament, and there's no guarantee they would go 16-0. It's a waste of those guys time when they could be practicing against better competition for better prizes.
FWIW, I seriously doubt that was the real Idra.
|
Well I can tell all of you in some of the semi popular chat channels in game I see Google in there trolling and trying to promote his channel with gimmicky lines like "join my chat channel if you want hardcore sex." He seems a bit shady to me...
|
You shouldn't go into this with the mindset that you want to win x amount of money.
Go in with the mindset that you're going to get to play a ton of high level masters/GM players. Enjoy the practice and move on when you lose.
Yea I don't think we'll see anyone get that money anytime soon... but that doesn't mean people shouldn't enjoy the tournament anyways.

why wouldnt pros go there? it's free money for them if they can beat those 4 gms who are not even that good among GMs. MC and puma has beaten harder opponents 3-0 so from like max 5 tries he can win it (which means he wins an average 200$ [1000/5]every time he enters which is good)

but if google did that, not his reputation but the reputation of his friend, Pride would suffer the damage, and say what u want about his trolling behaviour, but i dont think he would be hurting his friend with false promises he cannot hold... mb if google created this thread i would be skeptical too but the situation is more complicated for google with pride making the threads and promises

Your logic is awful. Someone has to win the lottery. It keeps going until someone does and the odds of someone winning increase. The odds of someone winning this decrease as time goes.

u obviously don't play poker or haven't had much mathematical background, but as the odds of winning decrease the prizemoney increases making all the necessary balance for the percentages. it's basically all about determining the average winnings of one tournament you enter.
simply: 1%chance to win 100dollar is the same as 100% chance winning 1dollar every time u enter the tournament (for free) because that's the average number which on the longrun equalizes.(so after 100games u probably gonna win one, making the 1dollar a tournament a good mathematical estimate so u can think of it as every time u played that tournament u earned 1 dollar -> this concept is the basic of professional poker)
only mistake in this logic is if the chance to win it is so low that noone can win it in their lifetime
but as someone noted a 90%winrate has 19% chance which is not that bad.
and again, it's FREE so u can try your luck anytime

Idra is easy to cheese, hes not a good candidate to win this. You need someone with insanely good early attack builds the defeat any cheese and blast through any non-professional player based purely on micro. Much like naniwa or mkp do against lower opponents, they just 4gate / rush their way through and never lose because their micro is too good.

If dreamhack coin tossup is legit i dont see any reason to hate on it. Its up to them what they want to do with their money. Any top terran player is more than capable of going 16-0 vs mediocre GM tbh.

How is that so hard to understand?

I think this would actually be a cool idea, if it wasn't like 4-0 each. I wish someone would do this tourney but have it like bo3 against really high end players. Like one from each race. So the player has to play against say, Idra then Naniwa then select and all beat them in bo3 xD

why isnt this locked, most pointless tournament ever

this tournament seems legit im sign up! brining home the 1k baby!

Google has to be the worst GM i've ever seen in my life.

Nobody is going to win against 4 GM players 4-0 a piece.
Especially since those 4 GM players can watch the stream/play style & particular strategies used by said person.
This is not a tournament.

It would be nice to close this topc since its no real tournament .
The coint toss tournament was different it wanted you just to win your matches against the said players, but winning every single set even if they are mediocore US gms wich get usualy dominated by top EU players ( if you compare they play and how much effort they put on you can only agree).
A single BO win already loses you the "tournament ".
Also the ridicilous amount of advertisements shows that this is not a real tournament.
I recomend close this topic and give Pride a temp ban.
The idea of out of the norm tournaments is generaly bad any winchance that is lower then 50 % is already hardly worth to compete in.
A tournament shows who is the better player overall and can take matches convincingly not every single set with current balance.
Coin toss delivered this with having nothing but player skill decide if they can take a match or not.
Also Nestea told in a recent interview after winning vs coca that he predicted a 3:1 win he knew he was overall superior but given the rock , paper , sciccors scenario sometimes u cant take 4 matches aka 16:0
All points are against this being a legit tournament with legit chances to win.

Then don't compete, google and I have not forced anyone to compete, this is your free will. If you don't like it.... then you have nothing to worry about..
So you're basically saying.. since I hosted a tournament with a low win chance, I should get temped bann??
If this is truely not worth anyone time, why bother posting in this thread and then complaining abou it to just grab more attention?
If this is really a pointless tournament and all mind thinks alike, why are there people still entering? They want to have fun, they want to practice... They want to do something other than ladder.
Majority is frustrated at the rules rather than the tournament itself. Should google and myself change the rules due to demand of the community? Is the sword mighter than the pen? you decide..
I appreciate destructive criticism, but this is all just flaming.

It would be nice to close this topc since its no real tournament .
The coint toss tournament was different it wanted you just to win your matches against the said players, but winning every single set even if they are mediocore US gms wich get usualy dominated by top EU players ( if you compare they play and how much effort they put on you can only agree).
A single BO win already loses you the "tournament ".
Also the ridicilous amount of advertisements shows that this is not a real tournament.

People willing participate in scams (knowingly or otherwise) all the time. It however doesn't change the fact that a scam is a scam like this one. I would be willing to bet the reason this thread keeps getting locked in its various forms is because the admins/moderators don't particular like promoting a scam.
The reason it's a scam is because of how misleading it is. It is not a tournament for $1000 is it? yet that's exactly how you present it. I suspect if you want to have it posted and not get locked, it would have to be a little less misleading

What's up with the fake tournaments lately? First with that metro something tournament to $100,000 tournament, and now this? This is just a shame to the community.

Somehow I don't even think you have the prize money if someone did magically win.

It's just good marketing. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Agreed with many voices in this thread: this is a lot more like a carnival stand than a tournament.
By making it this hard to ever win the prize money, this event amounts to little more than an attempt at free advertising.
I'm sending a warning to PrideTV but I'll state it here as well: don't post this kind of thread again or you will be banned.
