The official Newbie League is currently in planning.
Myself and a few others are interesting in launching an entire league aimed at including the beginners of the game. We will begin by asserting interest in this league by inviting everyone to come and be tested by our official testers on your gameplay.
The games will be run on US West starting in the channel "TNL". We will be running a fair few practise matches on a number of PGT recognised maps. (Thus it is a good idea to download the PGT5 mappack from: www.pgtour.net)
This tournament will be for the purpose of improvement and for the main purpose of fun. :D
I know how hard it is to get a game out there sometimes, so we invite anyone who is a beginner to the game to come along and battle it out with similarly skilled competitors.
The preferred skill level (for comparison) will be anyone of D+ rank or worse in PGT. If you don't even know what that is, then by all means, come along. ^_^
Be warned though, the testers will be checking on how advanced your skill of the game is...and if you fall outside of what we call newbie. Then you'll be disallowed from entering. But if you're a pro and want to come and try to play badly...by all means do. :D
Talk to either myself. (Smurg @ US West)
Or Tracil (Tracil @ US West)
The channel will be op TNL.
The time to arrive will be 12pm AUS EST. (GMT + 11) or try to find us any time between then, send us whispers if we are online. Just keep your eyes open!
Once the testing is sorted out we'll embark on a 1v1 tournament for everyone...all replays will be saved and uploaded for everyone to see.
Give me some feedback and let me know if you're interested.
As soon as I post this we'll be in B.net in channel op TNL waiting for people to arrive or talk to us about it.
The official testing and event are scheduled to start at 12pm with commencement of the tournament proceeding directly after testing.
GL HF GG!
