CyberGamer brings you the Mar Sara Trials, a SC2 Beta competition open to all Australian and New Zealand players who are registered members of CyberGamer.com.au and have a current SC2 beta account on the NA server.
Details
Date: Sunday 16th May (THIS SUNDAY)
Time: 10AM AEST (Syd, Bris, Melb)
Prizes: $200 [1st]; $100 [2nd]; $50 [3rd]
Format: Single elimination format (BO3) until The Grand Final and 3rd place matches, which will be BO5.
IRC: #CyberGamer on Gamersurge.
The number of rounds will be dependent on the amount of applications - expect at least 128 players. Games until RO32 will have single map rotation in the following order:
- R1 - Metalopolis
- R2 - Lost Temple
- R3 - Blistering Sands
- R4 - Kulas Ravine
- R5 - Steppes of War
- R6 - as R1 etc
The RO32 will have each player vote one (1) map off the above list leaving 3 maps to play. Each player will then vote 1 map down, leaving the starting map. The loser of game 1 selects the 2nd map to be played. If a score of 2-0 is reached a 3rd game will not be played.
The Final and 3rd/4th will see each player take turns voting down 2 different maps each. The remaining map will be the starting map. The loser of the previous game selects the next map. The first person to reach 3 wins will be declared match winner.
Remember, the event will start at 10am on Sunday 16th sharp and continue until completion so please make sure you are on time!
The CyberGamer StarCraft II Ruleset, under which the tournament will be run, will be posted on their forums soon. Know the rules or risk disqualification.

Unlikely, if they keep the single elim, BO1 until RO32 format in effect. If you don't make the top8 or so you'll prob get to watch.

Always open to suggestions ftrunkz, this is really a trial comp for us as its our first sc2 competition. By sounds of it DO is going to be removed by public outcry lol.

Del's hard work for the Aus scene is really starting to pay off if things like this are happening.
Del you legend you.

I think CyberGamer always had pretty big plans for SC2 n_n I like to think that I spurred them into some action during beta though, proving that people were hungry for it!
Having said that, I gladly accept the title of legend.

We actually had no intention for a beta tournament at all until one of the head honchos of CG came to myself and Zior and said, "Here's $350 for a beta tournament make it happen"
We were all too happy to oblige
Get cracking fellas there's still slots open!
P.S make sure you put your identifier in your CG profile settings like so:

Good luck to all!

Yah I already moved to have that stricken from the records and never spoken of again, to be replaced with Steppes of War. If you agree go tell Zior on the forums!

Gonna kill two of your drones off before making a pool? (:
Looking forward to this! No ProGamers in round 2 this time please. ):
|
RULES ARE NOW UP HERE
Also, Desert Oasis has been replaced by Steppes of War.
|
Time C: After 6:00 minutes a restart will not be permitted; a forfeit will be issued if you drop out.
Really? You have the game 99% won, the other guy is hiding his buildings around the map and you happen to drop, and he'll get the free win from it?
Why can't we have the normal disconnection rules, where it's up to admin judgement - or at least the option for the opponent to offer a re-game.
|
We have just hit the magical 100 mark. Keep the signups coming boys! Only 2 days till the Mar Sara Trials begin!
|
just wondering when will the ladder be posted ... just wondering thats all
also not signing up at the last min this time

From what I heard they are going to try get the brackets up friday night, but I imagine at the very least they will release a playerlist at that time.

Yeah, this was the only problem I saw with it. It was being discussed but nothing more seems to have come of it......

Go tell em Mez.

103 people signed up so far, just a reminder that signup CLOSES TONIGHT AT 6PM AEST so sign up quick if you haven't already!
|
Signups close at 6pm sydney/melb/brisbane time. Get to it boys
|
How can I tell if I'm in the NA server or not
|
just check your battle.net account
|
Ummm... what does that mean exactly? Check on the website or ingame? Where am I looking
|
log into your account on website at https://us.battle.net/ or the Europe ones doesn't really matter, go "create or manage your account" click on manage for sc2 and it shows which version of the beta you have.

Would have been sus when the bank account you provided is not with an Aus bank though, and most top Aussies are pretty known anyway it's hard to come along as someone no one has heard of and dominate this tournament n_n

Still, quick to point out that GLaDe played SC1 a lot and hit B- on iCCup - and the big name SC players didn't show up aside from pinder, Leg and Azz. Guc, XaraCoS and SeMu were all missing.

gg thanks to CG for hosting this was well organised
congrats to mglade n wd to last 8 who played well

It's sad that none of our bw gosu's have come over except leg who is rather inactive. Hopefully (eventually) GoD frugga etc will make the move.
|
I feel better about being knocked out early on since the guy who beat me placed 3rd. Its funny how the strategies that you havn't seen before and accounted for are usually the ones that kill you. >.<
|
WP to glade, and well done to those running the tourny :D We should see replays in the next few days.
|
Sorry for the lame finls guys, I wasn't expecting to beat moonglade or anything but I never expected to play that bad :/ especially the last game
where the laptop was overheating it was just slaughter. Hopefully I can get involved and help with coverage for filuture events!

You would be surprised at how much skill wc3 takes, just because it isn't the ultimate macro game
doesn't mean it requires less skill than games that focus on that I think the reason we are seeing a lot of wc3 players do well in au/eu/kor/china (pretty much everywhere except the us) is because the user interface is much more wc3 esque and so those players are able to pick the game up faster, I reckon you will see the sc pros do a lot better after playing for a few months when everyone is on an even playing field.

I agree, and I started off playing and following WC3 I actually predicted from the start that WC3 players would be more dominant than the SC players expected.
