EDIT:
I have to say it seemed like the craft cup USA tourney was highly unorganized, yes players were playing in multiple tournies at the same times but the admins for craft cup were not on top of this what so ever.
Props goes to them for hosting an event but when 2 events are overlapping each other confusion is bound to appear. Hopefully they will think this through more next time they decide to host one of these events..
Also This goes out to the streamers of the craft cup events...
It is extremely bad mannered to go into other peoples stream, inserting links to yours in hope to "steal" viewers. I was streaming for the inflow tournament and multiple streamers came into my stream in hopes to do this. I am under the impression they also did this in other peoples stream... tsk tsk craft cup, where are your morals?

From CraftCup's website:
There will be a high quality video-livestream. More on that later.
So there should be, just not yet announced where exactly.

Wasn't meant to be an insult just saying, that these arnt just people hosting a tourney, they do it for work im guessing with sponcers and such, hence the cool site and and prize pool. Nothing against inflow at all, grats to them for hosting a tourney regardless and making fun for the community.

Crap. 4:00AM roll call for this?? Let me think about it...

|
|
|
edit: that was a stupid post ^^
|
waitt...
isn't it 15:00 = 3PM? :\
wonder what time is it for EST and where are we supposed to meetup?
|
15:00 is 3pm (EST)
so 12pm for (PST)
the guy also said New York
theres also no way that this is gonna start at 5am (est) cause who would be on to play it and he also mentioned how another there were initially time conflicts with another tournament
so use common sense
|
here is english stream - glhf.tv
go watch 
|
nazgul lost, too bad

|
|
|
what are you talkin about? this tourney is tomorrow
|
|

For the European one the matchups are shown in a link to the pregrid on the cup page, so I assume it will be a similar deal here.

btw when it's 2:30 how do we check in?
|
Still no brackets?
|
|
|
orb, sign-in hasnt even happened, brackets will be done when people sign in.

Good to know. I was so confused
|
Hm, i guess you need to wait until exactly 30 mins before to check in
EDIT: CHECK IN NOW OPEN
|
|
|
|
|
Ya check in is up. So do the brackets get made up after everyone has checked in or the 30 mins is up?
|
after the 30 mins I would assume, seeing as no tournament will have its entire signups actually sign in.
|
Checked-in!
Time to pray I can dodge having to play protoss.
|
how will we know if our match has been selected to be streamed?

Ugh, just noticed I'm in the EU server. Sorry Shudmeyer.teamfun free win for you. :p
|
BuGzlToOnl.teamliquid,if you see this I'm playing you in round 1 but i can't add you to my friends list. My id is Shudmeyer.teamfun
edit: nvm okay :D
|
|
|
half the players are also playing inflow tourney ;P! this will be fun

|
Streaming my match in round 2:
livestream.com/rumz512
|
hand in the report and it does nothing. still tells you to hand in your report. takes a long time to load or am i having a problem?
edit nvm guess you have to wait for yoru opponent to report also
|
same Win.win, i handed in and it does nothing =.=
|
siiiiighh.... lost my match cause i had to pause during the middle of my game cause a family friend came over and i had to help them with something and THEN i accidently kick my ethernet and lose connection..
GG me
|
Yea I handed in my win report (more than once lol) and I think my opponent did, too. Still not updated. =(
nvm, updated now
|
|
|
To anyone having issues with reporting.
I just figured out you have to click on your match to upload the replay. Then you can go and report your win. Reporting the replay made mine register, though it could've been a coincidence I guess because the first round it advanced me with no replay submitted.
|
who is admin for this tourney
|
really need a new computer, it's quite annoying watching my units melt to storm and not being able to move them T_T
|
Got matched with SLush in the first round, and got SLRushed. Bleh. Figures.
|
I lost my round but my livestream is following Shinosai.marktheshark. Great terran player vs. Sora.five.
Should be a great matchup!
Edit: Sora took that match in a great TvT on Steppes. well played by both players.
|
fenix is finishing up an inflow match, hope they can wait oo~
|
that inflow tournament sooooo messed up lol
|
we gonna have to wait like 2 hours before quarterfinals start
|
yea, thanks axslav for being manner and waiting for fenix ! <3
|
Orb got WO in match vs Ruthless?
|
Why did Huk get DQd when he just beat Ruthless for both Craftcup and Inflow? Who is admin?
|
CraftCup webpage says:
HUK and Ruthless have been disqualified for delaying their match for more than one hour.
So it seems Ruthless "won" HuK, then Orb "won" Ruthless and Orb advanced in final stage of tour.
|
lol what a joke :/ both these tournies going at same time and hard to contact any admins :/]
DQing players for having long matches?
|
are u serious? u dq me for no reason? u hardly no admins posted, NO1 can tell me who to msg as far as admin, i report on site nothing happens.
i mass spammed pms to:
arlock(Streamer)
ruthlless(oppenent)
elegy(Streamer)
jimraynor(streamer)
smores(no response)
orb (no response)
i spam allt hese ppl no1 can tell me who to contact while i play my match and then u guys dq me? are u serious?
|
The thing is Huk beat Ruthless in one tourney and FF for the other tourney, both match were the same time, and were being played.
Admin made big mistake.
|
|
|
YO RE-ADD ME TO THIS WHAT ARE YOU ADMINS DOING? THERE IS NO1 ONLINE THAT I CAN TALK TO FOR LAST 1HOUR 1/2
|
admins. basically everyone wants to watch huk play orb. don't dq huk for something beyond his control. obviously u can see he did his part.
|
Yeah, CraftCup admins made one big mistake. Ruthless forfeited to HuK in their InFlow tour match so basically they "played" CraftCup game as well and didn't delay anything.
Hope you will get back to tour HuK, you deserve it.
|
I hope Huk can get back in this... admins made a mistake, it just sucks there's 2 tournaments going on right now, we should be understanding and manner !
|
nah they don't care it seems
I explained the case and the last things admin says is "I don't want to talk to you anymore, bye"
before this I was talking about why did HuK get DQed, l link this exact thread, and he says "I'm not inflow", he didnt even know I was talking about his tournament or this thread existed.
|
dacthehork
didnt explain something to me, what he does was insulting me.
We will release an official statement explaining the situation
|
are you guys joking? does huk really think the whole world is gonna stop and wait for him when he is 2 rounds behind? we waited like an hour for you already and you still didnt play your game in the RO32 while everyone else waiting for u at the ro8, HUK 100% deserved to be DQ'd and anyone who thinks otherwise is ignorant and apparently thinks that 1 person is more important than the other 30 ppl waiting on him
|
|
|
lost 2-1 in quarter finals
|
Except the fact, Ruthless forfeited to Huk. He didn't delay the games for more than an hour at all, not to mention you waited for Fenix during the exact same time period for the same round.
|
Really disappointed with the whole Huk DQ'd thing.
|
|
|
So i guess going viking first tvp was just a fluke?
wtf is wrong with you people

Dude, HuK was playing his CraftCup game against Ruthless in same time when he played him for InFlow tournament. When he won against Ruthless in series for InFlow, Ruthless gave him pass in CraftCup as well. So HuK wasn't that behind of schedule, with that "WO", cmon...

Official CraftCup statement regarding the disqualifications(as on craftcup.com):
Both Huk and Ruthless have been playing two tournaments at the same time. This caused a heavy delay on the CraftCup match in Round3. To be precise: The R3 CraftCup match between HUK and Ruthless didnt even start at the moment ALL Round 4 CraftCup matches were finished. At this point the Round 3 match had been open for more than 60 minutes. Where our rules only allow a delay of 15 minutes. So there were aproximately 8 players and all people on the livestream waiting for this match to start. This lead us to the clear decision to disqualify both players causing the delay.
Concerning HUKs argument that he wasnt able to reach any admin of us:
My account that i have been online with is in the first line of the news. Together with the option of sending us support tickets. During the whole evening we were able to answer EVERY support ticket with less than 5 minutes. It is also obvious that livestreamers are not referees. Livestreams ar eprovided by external sites.

Is this still going/is there a stream? none of those provided on craft cup site work

arlock(Streamer)
ruthlless(oppenent)
elegy(Streamer)
jimraynor(streamer)
smores(no response)
orb (no response)
- no admin ever contacted me or said nething as far as me being dq'd or running late or nething
- i posted on site where the complain thread is and no1 responded to me or reached me as far as nething
i sincerely did my best to fix the solution and admins basically took a giant shit on me, while holding matches for other players, COMPLETELY REDICULOUS
|
What? I didn't get a single PM from you
|
I was streaming the inflow tourney and I found it extremely BM how the streamers for the craft cup were coming in my channel trying to steal viewers. I really got nothing good to say about the [US] Craft cup at all.

HUK I was a streamer for inflow not for craft cup.
|
People at Attero's stream could listen conversation on their Vent and judging by that HuK did really whisper many people because of that DQ and made support tickets on CraftCup website. I guess 800+ people can confirm that they heard on Stream him trying to reach admins etc.
Attero was doing the same, but couldn't find in-game nick.ident of any real CC admin.
|
In HuK's defence he was trying to message admins like crazy on what was going on.
|
orb i msg'd u mass while u were in game u had ur availability set to busy or something then

They kinda made a tournament that overlapped with inflow the day after it was up on tl :S

unfortunately having your status set to busy doesn't prevent messages from being received as I get spammed all the time in games :\

u do realize there is a way to block msgs? becuz i swear to god on my life w/e u want to say (pink swear) i mass msg'd u while u were in game
|
He was messaging you in game, and Attero messaged Drewbie as well.

are you joking man for real????? SERIOUSLY? ARE YOU STUPID?
7 of the 8 quarter finalists waited for over 1 hour for huk + ruthless to PLAY THEIR RO 32 GAME
if you dont know whats going on then please shut the fuck up
|
drewbie sorry to say this but u are wayyy misinformed, sadly u didnt say nething to me either especially when u were obasing my game; just kind of wanted to snipe that free win dq huh?
|
The admins always seemed very quick to respond to me, maybe you thought you messaged them but really messaged somebody else?
Seemed to run very smoothly except for the problems with the players trying to do 2 tournies at the same time which slowed down the bracket and made everybody else wait for over an hour .
|
good work Axslav, I feel the same pain you do when faced with PvP ^^
And congrats Levin!
|
Replays pretty please? <3

Go to their website and click on replays =)

YES! Thank you so much. Not sure how I missed that. Can't wait to go over all the games, there were like 3 streams going on at the same time so I couldn't watch them all.
|
I can't believe there is even any argument over this whole Huk thing...
Here is an idea- Don't try and play two tournaments at the same time.
|
Just FYI Joseki and Art Of Light are casting this right now on iCCup TV
|
I just wanna say that I loved this tournament! The organization, the website, everything seemed so professional.
Can't wait for the next tourney!
|
The DQ of HuK was ridiculous. The admins of this tourney should be ashamed.
|
i think the thing with HuK was a mistake, the system wasn't set up properly or something like that to the best of my knowledge. thankfully this was just the first one and some minor annoyances like this are to be expected and dealt with as they arise. later tournaments won't have this problem i'm sure
|
Maybe you shouldn't book yourself in 2 tournaments that start at the same time.

just saying...
|
Almost everyone was in both tournaments... And during this time, the admins had waited on Fenix, but not Huk.
|
I don't think it was the admins... I was talking with Axslav the whole time, and he was agreeing to wait , I dunno.. Fenix had an adv cuz he has a sexy manager looking out for him :p
|
That was a great tournament, the management and structure was really smooth. Unfortunately the stream (Madman216) was really poor (lots of downtime/lag) but that should hardly reflect on the tournament. Looking forward to more of these. Being able to browse the brackets and download the replays directly is a nice touch too.
I think next time I'll sleep beforehand though, instead of staying up all night until 5:00AM to compete... :D
|
the minute it comes to north america there is big drama thing.
How uncharacteristic...
Clean up your act guys, seriously.
|
The resposability come to the player to NOT register for 2 tournamenet in the same time.
Just accept the DQ and move on.
btw nice website for the tourney.

Ok dude, calm down. Steam out your nerd rage somewhere else.
As I said two times already, I just said what I heard on stream, their Vent and readt on channel.
Peace.
