Short History:

The Macro/Micro Tournament originated as an event consisting of players from the practice partner thread located on www.teamliquid.net. Every US player with a post that played SC2 at a platinum or lower level could enter. Our First two events were very impromptu; set up and run over the course of a single night. Both events though had a great show of support, attendance retention, and participation. You can find the brackets and results from our First two tournaments, here and here.

Due to these two successes and lots of support from participants for Future tournaments, I've decided to go the next step and make this an "official" as well as larger tournament rather than the "out-of-thin-air" 16 man 1v1 tournaments I have organized before.

The Tournament Name:

The name “Macro/Micro Tournament” was used as the event title in consideration of learning these basic principles of the Game, while also giving a feel of what it is like to play under pressure in a tournament setting. Which overall, is what the practice thread and the event(s) were/are all about.

-Disconnecting during a Game results in a loss. Bnet2.0 has issues, everyone knows this, unfortunately though there is very little way to distinguise, legitimately, between a intentional disconnect and one due to a Game bug.

-Being more than 15 minutes late results in a forfeit of your match/series.

-Match observers/casters are allowed, at the player(s) discretion. If a player has issues with observers, observers will be removed. With the exception of the tourney referee.

-Chat is allowed in-game between players. But if someone asks you to be quiet, you shut the hell up. No BM allowed.
