Adun toridas fellow Brood War enthusiasts. We at the Swedish Brood War Initiative are hosting a tournament in Sweden, Gothenburg and we want as many of you to attend as possible!
The capacity for the amount of players in this tournament is set at 32 players.
We will be having a single elimination in the rounds of 32, 16 and 8 followed by a best of 3 in the rounds of 4 and 2.
Prize money are not set in stone at this moment seeing as the more people who enter the higher the prize pool will become. We do however have a minimum amount set:
1st place 30€ (300kr)
2nd place 20€ (200kr)
3rd place 10€ (100kr)
An admission fee will be set at 100kr (approx 10€), this fee will also make you a member in SBWI if you're not already.
The time and date for this event in the 23rd of November at 1500 hours.
Seeing as we got the opporunity to run this on a saturday we will be going out for drinks after the event to get to know each other better.
The location is at Vasa Gaming.
We'll post updates here as time goes on so stay tuned.
*Stream and casting will be avaliable.
**Starcraft quiz with a price for the winner.
***Aftermaths of the tournament:
We ended up being 8 people and due to being so few we did a bo3 in all games.
The participants were the following:
Troy (winner) 50€
Gene(S)is (2nd place) 25€
Abjurer (3rd place) 15€
DarkUIla

ImWithStupid
Defco (first bw game ever - courageous!)
Unfortunately no videos were saved from the stream. As mentioned in the thread no one had any real experience in streaming and all our casters got interference and ended up not coming. We're sorry about that and we will do better next time.
We never got around to do the quiz either so there is no winner to announce on that part either. This was our first offline tournament and we will gladly host additonal ones in the future and make things a lot more organized, have sign-ups, release map pool prior to the event, supply with vods and pictures.
Small interview with the winner:
Q: Name?
A: Benny "Troy" Sundquist
Q: Age?
A: 26
Q: When did you start playing BW?
A: I started in 2002 but I hadn't touched BW prior to this tournament for 6 years so I'm really rusty.
Q: How did you prepare for this tournament?
A: I couldn't prepare as much as I would've liked to, there was no information on who would participate, I didn't know the players races nor the map pool, so I just did a few games this week and hoped for the best.
Q: Who's your favorite player?
A: Well I love Boxer but I also love Jaedong so I'd say in SC1 it's Boxer and in SC2 it's JD
Q: What do you plan to do with the money?
A: The cash will come in handy for a nice hearthy meal and cover some of my expenses for my trip since I came out of town to participate in this tournament.

Sweden is such an awesome country
|
If only this would happen in Romania as well...
|
Admission fee same as 3rd place prize is kinda awkward 
Anyway looking forward to this, if prizes would get bigger maybe someone outside Sweden might come. Hope to see stream from LAN

That's it! I'm moving to Sweden!

Great to see the gothenburg clan hitting it off! I might (maaaybe) be able to cast this in Swenglish with vOddy if that would be appreciated. Also mewka, this is minimum prize pool so we can get a good picture of what the scene really looks like so that we dont host a tour for 500$ with 4 no-name players.

Would it be really possible for an English speaking person to hang out with you guys, without being a pain in the butt? Flights from London to Gothenburg are literally only about £20 at that time.

We'd be honoured to have you or anyone else here who takes the effort to come overaseas. I hope we can solve some accomodation for people who travel from afar. I am going to look into it.
I did forget to mention that we will have casters in one way or another. Either we'll have designated ones or people will take turn in doing it and I hope that as many of you as possible will tune in through the stream if you can't be there in person.
