Basic Pre-Match Procedure All games will be played on ICCup Server with Anti-Hack ON, with LAN latency Chaos Launcher enabled. You will also download, install, and run a custom TL Anti-Hack program before your match. Players may not stream games in any way. Do not stream your games using Livestream or use the new ICCup replay broadcast feature. We reserve the right to penalize or disqualify anyone who is unable or unwilling to do any of these things.
Bo3 Map Selection: Each player selects one of the maps from the pool to thumbs down. This map will not be used in the series. You will report this choice to the referee immediately before the series commences. If both players pick the same map to thumb down, the higher seeded player will pick another map.
Map Pool: Andromeda 1.0 Destination 1.1 Fighting Spirit 1.3 Outsider SE 2.2 Neo Tornado 2.1
For all other rules, including in-game conduct and post-match procedure, please read the "TL Players Handbook" pdf file that we will send to your designated email addresses.

Very nice stuff. I imagine it would suck hardcore if one of the West Coasters had to play at like 6 AM so props on the multiple time slots.
|
good luck to all the players!
|
These matches will be streamed? Right?
|
This is so awesome. I cannot WAIT until this coming weekend.
|
Go miko, oct, tech and kenzy :D LRM powah in this tour !!!
|
I am too curious as to how these games will be broadcasted.

Hopefully the games will be streamed after the series is over by a commentator; I suppose it is necessary that the players can't stream themselves for obvious reasons.
|
well you'd think nobody would... but people are always stupid enough to forfeit, hope I'm wrong though I wanna see awesome games.
|
Good Luck to everyone !
|
Custom TL Anti-Hack program - interesting =)
|
I wonder if Dreiven has BBQ planned for those days.
|
how will the schedule work if a game goes over an hour o.o

Qualifiers R1 / R2 will not be broadcast with casters / streams.
All results and replays will be released immediately after each series is finished.
There will be an upcoming commentary contest with prizes for all games that are not broadcasted. The announcement for that will come soon.
|
ill broadcast in spanish (not really, i dont have the technology)
edit: i will like to cast mikoel if someone can tell me how can i do it from livestream.com or anywhere else xd
|
Looks like EG.Nyoken has to wake up a little early for his games, poor guy
|
Im so HYPED! yes yes yes!!!! Hope no one gets dq'ed and we get to see some exciting results!

ok, so it could be that we could already see the games casted by some lesser commentating gods on the day they are played.. that's kinda cool if it happens in an organised fashion..

We made every attempt to account for the varying timezones people are in, and Nyoken being in Casper's group gives them a huge time difference, since Casper is over in Russia.

Isn't Nyoken west coast? For some reason thought he was, thinking about it i have no idea why i thought that.

This is going to be awesome, woot =]

Negatory. He and Lz are like the only east-coasters. Everyone else is WC or Korea.

EDIT: nvm, question answered
|
Some kind of a "best-of-casting" (like they do it for the StarLeague-Prelims) would be neat and provide a real great atmosphere.
|
I cant wait this long! Argh Im like a 10 year old who keeps saying in the back seat "are we there yet?" "are we there yet?" "are we there yet?"

Just out of curiosity are you guys testing the TL Antihack before the matches start? It wouldn't be good if a player couldn't install it or couldn't get it to function properly because they got the program on game day. It wouldn't be fair to be disco'd if its not compatible with a certain OS or processor or something.
Second question what is the program like? Would it be a chaos plugin that would be useful to have when we are on east that can detect hacks?
|
Braavos36374 Posts
Yes, we are testing it. Last TSL it was used and there were some issues, but very few.
No, it is not feasible to mass use as a plugin. Thats all I can really say about it.
|
|
I'm really stoked for this.
Hot_Bid, you imply that R3 games will be streamed and casted. Is this right?
|
first game with lithuanian in it! Awsome!
|
|
Cool! Hey what about Idra vs Nony? When it will be played? And will it be streamed? Thx

I am extremely dissappointed to hear this won't be streamed. I understand there can be cheating if it is streamed.
There is always the option of playing the games, then streaming the replays and not releasing results until all games have been streamed. It would get a bucketload of traffic for tlnet and coverage for pokerstrategy.

OK, this is nice - but no stream with commentary sux

It would get a bucketload of traffic for tlnet and coverage for pokerstrategy. I'm pretty sure that none of the games will be streamed live, and will instead follow the method you suggest. Also, this casting contest and the inevitable release of the replays should make you feel better about the lack of a stream.

Yeah, sucks mainly for the West Coasters b/c they have to compensate for Europe / Korea times...
Nyoken's east coast though, I remember him being at the DC Lan a couple months ago ^_^.
|
I'm actually considering casting one of the games just for the lulz. It's going to be like one of those Tasteless casts, where he makes the wrong call and keeps changing his mind for the next 10 seconds then calls himself dumb -- only it'll happen twice a minute :D I'll name-drop as much as I can just to look like I know what I'm talking about.
|
|
TSL is setting standards how to make a good good tour! <3 for you guys putting all the effort and money into it!
|
This will be very interesting. I hope for some really good games from many persons.
|
didnt tl.net post an article about the tsl-casters a time ago.Artosis, tastless and day9 i think it was. Just put massive delay one the stream accounts for any attempt of cheating and it should be fine. Ok, there will be replays to watch afterwards but you cant tell me its the same feeling then watching Octzerg failing a zergling all-in
GO NONY
|
gogo mondragon and white-ra!!!!!!!!
|
shame it wont be streamed but looking forward to the replay contest's videos
should be a fun weekend :3
|
Oh, yea, forgot my shout-out.
Go Kawaii!
|
Damn... those times are going to put watching this live out of my reach.
Oh well, Good Luck to everybody!
|
|
Come on KawaiiRice! Go take your group! DO IT FOR NANA MIZUKI :D

That is not a good thing however. He puts me to sleep. A caster needs to convey excitement and bring insight. He's incapable of doing either. I'd really rather listen to a noobie commentator who isn't a noobie player.

Awesome! Gonna be the best foreign tournament ever...ez.

Is anyone else a little POed that idras flag is south korea? I mean come on, if your going to go to the bother of placing the national flags next to the players names, you might as well show where they really came from.
