Actually it is. I actually misclicked to find out it was a $700+ tournament because I would never intentionally click a thread named Micro Macro Tournament. I thought this was a $0 tournament for players gold league or below, and I'm sure many others thought so as well. Ofc they pretty much invited anyone who's been "active" in the scene anyways so it's not that big of a deal.

It isn't. Click the thread and read. Takes five minutes and you're good. Anyone saying it is hard to read part of a thread is just lazy.

Do you click every thread on TeamLiquid?
Anyone interested in playing in a competitive 1v1 tournament would not click a thread called Micro Macro Tournament or Sunken Defense tournament. Anyone who read the first thread would remember it's a free tournament for gold league players or below, and anyone who didn't would think it was a UMS tournament.
No one is bashing the author or host of the tournament, just pointing out the name isn't very fitting, but it doesn't matter really since he invited almost everyone non-asia player in the "scene". I don't know what you're agenda is but what are you trying to argue about. I guess not clicking every thread on TeamLiquid to find out if it something entirely different from the topic title would make you "lazy?"

Regarding the confusion with the tourney's name; not sure how obvious ppl need the tourney title to be. Would a short description in the title be better?
Like... "Pro/Amateur O2A Tourney".
Call me crazy, but i read OPs.

Yes it does make you lazy. There's only about 5 or so new tournament threads a week. Figure about 2 minutes a thread and your using up 10 minutes out of your 10,080 you get a week. If you can't dedicate a whole .1% (or whatever the math is) of your week to checking these things than you probably don't need to play in it.

Not everyone is as infatuated with the "scene" as you are. Why would I click every tournament thread named with a UMS name just to find out if it's randomly a $1000 tournament. So all of you people are telling me you would click the thread if it was named Tower Defense Gold League Tournament? Good for you I suppose, I click threads based on what their topic title is. You guys are thinking about one specific section and I'm talking about the general concept.
I don't care about joining every tournament or trying to cast every potential tournament like you do.

And you're just retarded. All the people "active" or "known" in the US / Euro scene didn't JOIN this tournament, they were invited. Why it takes 15 people all saying "NUH UH WE CLICK EVERY TOURNAMENT THREAD" is beyond me. I get it, you guys really really like to play tournaments and this is the second one I've signed up for, because I'm not interested in playing every $0 - $100 tournament or UMS tournament (which 99% are).

I am not sure about your logic there. If the topic was called this then they are only looking for gold league players otherwise why put gold league? That was pretty bad but yes if you like to play tournaments you will click every new one that comes up because its not like there are a ton of them.

I would be quick to point out that a good majority of the top players are "infatuated" with the scene. On average very ITL has 20-30 top players watching every single ITL.
Staying current with the "scene" will only help you stay on top of your game. It was these kinds of events that have changed conventional ways of playing SC. It was these events (not iCCup ones only, all events in general) that provided a top level proving ground to show new starts and ideas.
Where would SC2 be if TLO had not had his coming out party vs. Nazgul at TLI? (I think TLI. Correct me if I'm wrong.) The game could be months behind on strategies. Before that match easily 98% of my matches against all races where based on one base. That proved on a big stage that expanding in SC2 was possible (previously thought to be impossible).
Event he subtle things like the effectiveness of BC's vs. Thors (QXC vs. KawaiiRice. ITL 4 Game 2), Baneling Drop+Fungal Growth is sick (CatZ. ITL), Blink + Destructible rocks is fun (Nony. TLI), or why Mech was/is completely broken (QXC vs Sheth. ITL X).
It's events like these where the game is perfected.
I don't care about joining every tournament or trying to cast every potential tournament like you do.
You should.
And you're just retarded. All the people "active" or "known" in the US / Euro scene didn't JOIN this tournament, they were invited.

When logic fails use big words I guess.
You know why these guys were invited? They have proved themselves starting with the free/$100 tournaments.
Let me tell you about a player I know whom we should call AuK (to protect his identity). He was not invited to a big tournament we shall call the GSG Invitational. AuK was upset and thought he deserved to play but people did not know him that well. So what did AuK do? he hit me and every tournament organizer in the book up screaming "LET ME PLAY. I WILL ROFL STOMP NEWBS ALL DAY! AuK SMASH!" He won a lot in those tournaments and events. Now AuK is regarded as one of the top Protoss players in the world and is a shoe in for the GSG #2 (I would have to imagine at least). He didn't sit there and pout about a thread name....

All this talk about horrible tourney name is irrelevant.
The sign-up has successful and seems like the tourney is ready to begin when scheduled. Unlikely it would be changed for the next tourney hosted by stewker since this one is sure to be a success.
Now everyone whining knows better. Hope to see you sign up for the next M/M tourney.
