No, this is not a joke/trolling thread. We don't need more filler posts asking if it is.

Not sure she can figure out whom on her own.

It has been 2 months since BronyCraft. It is high time we fixed that.

It is my pleasure to announce BronyCraft 2! I hope that everyone here has been practicing hard during the downtime, and will be ready to kick some major flank! Once again, its time for the TL Bronies to put their micro skills to the test against one another, but this time, the stakes are even higher than before!

IMPORTANT INFO EDIT: This is a NA ONLY TOURNAMENT, however, if you are EU and want to sign up, we are trying to round up Guest Passes/Accounts for our EU brethren to have a chance to compete should they desire. If you would like to sign up and only have an EU account: Please be sure to add IN BOLD that you are EU and would like a pass. We are working on getting as many as possible, but there are no guarantees!

Who: Team Liquid Bronies... and more? After a day or two, I will be submitting this thread and hype video to Equestria Daily (www.equestriadaily.com) asking for a news spotlight post asking for any and all Brony fans to join up! I am giving the TL Bronies a few days head start to sign up, because you guys are all awesome and I want as many of you in the tournament as possible! This tournament is an open tournament of all skill levels - from bronze up to masters - come one, come all to enjoy an afternoon of the game we all love to play, Starcraft 2!

What: As before, this will be a single elimination tournament, only with a cap of 64 players this time around! Each round will have a specific map to start, with later games within that round being loser picks the next map. The Best of X and starting maps according to round are as follows:

Round 1: Best of 1, starting map: Metalopolis
Round 2: Best of 3, starting map: Shattered Temple
Round 3: Best of 3, starting map: Terminus
Round 4: Best of 3, starting map: Antiga Shipyards
Round 5 (Semis) Best of 5, starting map: Daybreak
Round 6: (Finals, Third place match) Best of 5, starting map: Belshir Beach Winter

The map pool will be the same as the last BronyCraft, which is as follows:
The Shattered Temple
Tal'Darim Altar
Daybreak
Antiga Shipyard
Metalopolis
Terminus
Bel'Shir Beach Winter

We even have sweet overlays! Thanks to Special Endrey!

+ Show Spoiler +

For every round past the first, each player can pick one map they wish to veto, excluding the starting map.

When: Saturday Feb 4th: 10 PM CET 4 PM EST 1 PM PST

Where: The fields of battle shall take place upon the one and only Battle.Net NA style! Streaming will be done from my stream at www.twitch.tv/Bio_HoN (yeah yeah, I know... HoN) so even if you don't feel like playing, you can still tune in to watch Brony V. Brony Starcraft action! Casting will be done by myself, and possibly some guest/not so guest casters as well!

Why: Well, the first one was ok, so I figured, again, why not?

The Title of Iron Pony, won in the last tournament by Whitewing, is now being contested! Compete for bragging rights once again! Possibly get shipped with the other player in the finals! WHO KNOWS?

Also, because of the IMMENSE amount of troll that happened in the last tournament involving a prize, I sent the Godfather after Stardragon and he agreed to ACTUALLY put up a prize this time! Cane as well decided to pitch in, since the TL Mare-A-Thon 2 had some problems and wasn't able to send out its prizes, we now have SWAG to win!

Edit: Due to a VERY generous donation, we are able to offer even more in terms of prizes! Updated prize pool is as follows!

1st Place: 1 Shirt of your choice from We Love Fine or Redbubble (depending upon where you live) AND 1 Poster from Redbubble!
2nd Place: 1 Shirt of your choice from We Love Fine or Redbubble (depending upon where you live)
3rd Place: 1 Shirt of your choice from We Love Fine or Redbubble (depending upon where you live)

Come and show off your Macro and Micro for a chance to win these fabulous prizes!

Most importantly, I hope that you all enjoy yourselves, the first BronyCraft was incredible fun, and I hope that this second outing proves to me more of the same!

READ THIS FOR SIGNUPS:

Should you wish to sign up, please do the following:
1) Read this post! Seriously, how can you not?
2) If you are coming from Equestria Daily/Some other place than Team Liquid: sign up for an account! It doesn't take very long!
3) Post in this thread 4 (FOUR) things: Your name on NA Battle net, your friend code, your mane race, and Your favorite pony of the mane 6 (yes, it's absolutely necessary. Don't ask, just do it =D)
4) PM me through Team Liquid's handy dandy PM system the same info from above! (Yes, I want a back up system, deal with it!)

During the tournament: Matches within a round will be played simultaneously: When you log into SC, be sure to join the TL Brony's chat channel: bestyoungflyers. I will be using that to get in contact with players as necessary, and to find matches to cast/stream.

IMPORTANT: When you are finished with your match! Whisper myself in game with the Results of your game, win or loss, and how many matches it took, so I can update the brackets in real time. My game name is Bio.576: Be sure to add me in game!

Link to Liquipedia page that will contain the bracket and other useful information as the tournament progresses!

Added to the OP. Looks like fun, and possibly disaster when 10,000 people from EqD sign up :-P

Hopefully not that many =D

I am limiting it to the first 64 that sign up, which is why I'm waiting to submit it to EqD so you all have a chance to sign up

This show and its following is one of the most bizzare things to come around in a while. What an age we live in...

I've been hanging out in the IRC alot so I suppose I'd better make a first post here instead of lurking all the time :>

<3 to all bronies.

I'm interested in the bronycraft as well, but I'm also EU. Hopefully something can be worked out for us foreign types. If not, I'll content myself with watching :p

Changing this to a tourney registration as per IRC instructions.

NA name and code: I'm EU.
Best pony: Rarity ofc.
Race: Protoss

As much fun as it would be to try and dissect your post and figure out why you say that, I will have to ask you and any other people who want to come into this thread and "Discuss" our fandom to please wait until after signups for the tournament. I am going to be super busy to try and convince you we aren't all strange! =D

I will certainly participate. Coincidentally, since the beta map tourney that was not a bronycraft was scheduled the same date, I will simply postpone it to another time for ponies to have fun with the beta maps! Anyhow, TIME FOR BRONYCRAFT 2!

I've written it in my signature, but there's no reason not to say it again.
DASHIE IS BEST PONY!
