That would be a massive tournament.
I may not be diamond league myself but I know many current TLers are and Diamond isn't necessarily an indication of HDH Invitational #1-level skill.

Also, invitationals get better viewership because people know most of the players.

If HD and Husky like the idea of less known players, maybe they could ask players about their recommendations and just invite the most often occurring name (they do play in diamond after all, I don't believe all their sparring partners get owned all the time). That said, the invitational ensures pure awesomeness in all games, and we've recently seen that even recommendation do not mean good quality.

Booking the games and coordinating them then casting - it all takes effort (even more so if the chat rooms stay out), and it'd be unpleasant surprise if HD and Husky would be spending their HDH time to cast a player doing 4 six-pools, because he get's Sen and knows that he wont win a macro game.
And if he'd be just a lot worse mechanically, it would be even sadder (unless he gets to play against TLO in which case it's fun for us, possible humiliation for him.
That's the problem with unknowns - they're unknown.

A qualifiers for a subset of spots could do great to hype up the tournament, actually. The issue is having enough time and patience to do it, as organizing an open tournament can be both time-consuming and frustrating. If HDH desired, I'm sure they could get help in this area, and last I was told they said they would be expanding their organization team.

I love the idea of a few spots open to qualification. Just as important, random placements.

HDH was what it needed to be, they had to have a hit the first time, and hand

I'd love to see a tournament with a few players that got in via qualifiers. I mean, it's pretty difficult for a new gamer to get into these invitationals. That said, the first one was great and if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?

Anyone know a good site to host some files? I have the RO16 and RO8 replays compiled together. A couple of the RO4/Finals replays seem to be corrupt so I'm seeing if I can get full copies.

Thanks!



Wouldn't it be better to upload it to existing sc2 replay sites instead like http://www.sc2rc.com/ ? You can probably get in touch with the webmaster so they can take care of it for you.

If you went that route, you might want to get in touch with fansites for some exclusive editorial features over the replay pack. I wouldnt be surprised if sites like 178 &17173 will leap over each over for a chance at it.
Thank God and gunrun.

There is a site that shows all diamond ranked up in one list right? Get the list chose 32/64/128 highest ranked players and make a tourney among them. I'm sure those who win will be very much deserving a spot in the tourney,

There are a lot of #1 Diamond players than get so high because they play absurd numbers of games. They are not necessarily better than any other Diamond players, win% is much more important imo. Also how would one go about contacting them?

Not a great idea for a tournament like this. The #1 goal is to get viewers, you get viewers with recognizable and consistent names.

Someone brought it up already, but I wouldn't mind if they had qualifiers for, say, 4 spots. As long as the qualifiers actually bring in good players. They'd probably need to partner with some other group who is holding weekly or semi-weekly events and say we'll take your next 4 winners.

My suggestion was to have 75% invited (12 people) and 25% qualified (4 people). The 25% qualified would most likely be famous players too (there are more than 12 famous people on the scene). Even if they're not, it'd still be interesting to follow. Every match would have at least one invited player in it and if the invited player completely owns, it'd still be entertaining and lend some legitimacy to the invites. If the qualified players happen to all advance and end up playing each other, that'd be interesting too.

The way I see it is that it's all improvements for the tournament. The only downside is the extra work.

If it was 100% qualification, and it had significant prize money (which it will), then it's like the TSL. The people that deserve to be there will qualify and most of them will be famous. Probably all of them will be people you've heard of before. But if some new people sneak in, there is value to that too. I'm sure HD and Husky will be able to hype it so that all the spectators can see the value in having a few new players mixed in too (especially when they're there because they survived a grueling qualification process).

If they can get consistent sponsorship, perhaps it would be better to just alternate between them. An HDH Invitational, and an HDH Open.

Personally, I would love to see a 100% qualification tournament. I think for a lot of people like myself, it is the only way to play versus the best and be recognise. I also know that it is a lot more work, so I wouldn't mind a smaller tournament.

Maybe HD and Husky could team up with TL for more support?
