1st GROUP STAGE MATCHES DUE BY AUGUST 6th 2nd GROUP STAGE MATCHES DUE BY AUGUST 9th 3rd GROUP STAGE MATCHES DUE BY AUGUST 12th
Send Match replays to zerfu_7@hotmail.com in the following format on the subject of the email
[Group][Group Stage][Country vs Country][Winner]
Yes you read right the World Cup but Starcraft 2 style. This tournament will be run just like the World Cup does. With Groups, rounds of 16, 8, semifinals, and finally of course the finals. One person can represent their country and make it through the cup and win it. Not happy with the result on this year's World Cup, you can play it through as if you were the team!! If two or more different people want to represent a country they must fight for it and the winner will be in the tournament in a whatever group assigned.
This tournament will be run by me, Zero-D. If you want to help I could use some volunteer just pm me or email me at zerfu_7@hotmail.com. Any new commentators out there that would like to commentate games are welcome as well.
For more details pm me or email. More details, brackets, and info will be updated when beta is about to start up again.
Sign up by posting here what country you want to represent, basically any real country goes.
Unfortunately or fortunately this will be for GOLD players and below, I want this tournament to be for the medium to beginner players, so they can have fun as well as to get experience and raise their skill level throughout the tournament. Same goes for those the would like to try their shot at commentating.
If a player has lost twice or any other circumstance where the player will not advance no matter what, he or she will be given a choice to play the last game or step out of it.
So show your country's colors and represent and win the WORLD CUP!!!

I don't know where I read it, ( probably on some other sc fansite ) one problem that people thought of is in the group stages. In the World Cup group stages, a group consists of 4 teams, in this case, 4 sc2 players. There are points awarded for a win (3 pts), draw (1 pt), and none rewarded for a loss. The reason why its 3/1/0 was to create situations where after the first or second game between the teams, scenarios would occur where each team plays out their fate while subsequently depending on the results of the other match within the group. If there was ever a scenario where everything was balanced, there are several statistics taken into account to determine the group ranking order to see who'd would advance. Sadly, there are no draws in sc2 melee, and the statistics such as goal scored, goal difference doesn't exist in sc2.
tl dr : the exact format of the world cup cant be imitated, must improvise at least for group stages (bigger groups, more/less pts for win/loss, round robin..etc etc.)
edit : the 17173.com world cup went around this with tie breakers if there are similar records within the group. although it's a solution, it's far from perfect.

Sounds good, I'll join! Before the beta ended I was a beast mode copper level player, but after the beta ended I started religiously watching Starcraft 2 strategy and commentary videos, so I might of gotten a bit better... Anyhow, I'll represent America if possible. If not I'll just take the Philippines or Germany.
|
If you end up needing more players, i'm down to enter.
Skill America
However, I am a diamond player, just not the top tier of players that make it to the top of all other tournaments hosted lol. If you ask me, gold is a little to low, I think saying anyone who doesn't consider themselves "a pro" should be welcome. Most pros have quite recognizable names anyway. The tournament could be somewhat of a "take a bunch of unknowns and the winner will gain some name recognition" type of thing.
Just a suggestion though, carry on if you aren't interested in that type of thing .
|
Id be happy to play or help out with the tournament i'm a silver to gold level player from Australia.
|
Edit: Withdrawing from this tournament. GL to all of the contestants!
Note: You should clarify if one can only choose from the current WC teams or if you can pick any country. If we have to pick from the current 32 WC teams then I pick Denmark.
Edit: You should have a pool for who get to represent the U.S. I'm assuming that most people will want to represent the US, so having a playoff type of idea is kind of silly. Make sure that everyone writes down a secondary country if they are choosing the US. Then, out of the surely 10-20+ people, pick a name randomly out of the hat. On the otherhand, you could just do FCFS.

|
I want to start commentating in the (far?) future. Can you post the replays on youtube or somewhere I can see them?
|
World cup but US only? /fail -.-
|
Well, technically American is a nationality and not an ethnicity (except for Native Americans), so if most people go with their ethnicity instead then it should be fine~ Hopefully this tournament stays gold and below. Every tournament is pretty much only diamond players. It's really nice knowing that there's a tournament just for lower level players. Oh and I'd like to clarify and say I'll represent Germany.
|
I would like to enter in, I can represent America, that is my home country but my strongest ethicnicity would be Switz so I would also love to represent Switzerland if at all possible

The biggest problems with gold level and below is the fact that 99% of them play the same.
0 Harass 0 Successful creativity that isn't dependent on the opponent sucking 1 Big Push and gg ~0 Microbility
I am not much different than gold players, in fact once in a while I loose to a few top 10 golds.
However, the point is, when gold players go into tournaments like these, they will most likely be reluctant to do entertaining stuff. They don't even have the basic timings all figured out. Heck never mind gold, even platinums in my league INCLUDING myself can't perform a regular macro only game well. Players like TLO are fun to watch because they already have the basics down and steady. They can then do creative strategies on top of that to bring them ahead of their opponent.
None the less I wish this tournament success, and may I suggest, winner plays WhiteRa just to see what happends? lol :D

Great idea man 
But I have to agree with Nick.TNA here, high gold is pretty much the same as low diamond. The real "pro's" are maybe the top 2% of the diamond league.

I'd like to play but the problem is that I'm on the EU servers.

im on us servers but im not really sure how i honestly stand due to divisions n whatnot but im a platinum-gold player depending on the patch and latest patch had me at gold and how well i do at times -_- lol but either way Merua-Zerg

WRONG! anyway this was ages ago and I was playing "Scrap Station" PvT I killed his cc and a bunch of his workers leaving him with little minerals and no air units, He killed my base but I had placed a pylon to block the island which he was unable to get to. I was at my friends house and had an easy time waiting him out till he finaly left cursing and swearing. FYI I think you should be able to call for a draw vote (If accepted by all players)
And I'm sure some of you got similar examples

It should be hosted on B.net Africa and the observers will have to spam & lag like crazy to recreate the authentic atmosphere of the World Cup. Sucks coz we can't cross real and there's isn't really an African B.net

hate to rain on your parade but... there are a lot of gold and below players out there and trying to "include" all of them is going make this tournament implode from the shear number of willing participants.
i suggest you try to get a bit more selective about who can join

Well, 32 people are allowed to enter, so the guy who made it should just ask the people who entered to confirm their entry in order of posting. He'll most likely get back ups too.
|
World cup for gold players and below, makes a lot of sense, with all due respect shouldn't it be called anything other than WORLD CUP? especially if its in the NA server, most countrys have little to no players aside from US / Canada...
anyways I don't think a world cup should be defined amongst the nation's gold players... or have no prize, i think the title is just a bit too ambitious

If some diamond players are playing I'll sign up for Germany. Noggin Random Germany
But if you want some form of 'quality' control you should have some kind of profile check to make sure they aren't just saying they are gold/silver and are really top tier diamond.
|
yeah... not sure how the reqs are gonna work -_- i mean in the beggining i was a platnum player around early may but i ended up getting booted down to gold so does that count? o.o

if these games are casted, I would very much appreciate casters enthusiastically playing the vuvuzela whenever a unit dies, thanks XD

Hope I can play and represent Canada.

Yeh i really would appreciate if the Diamond level players would stay out of this tournament. Your not doing yourself any favors stomping on people much lower skill level then yourself.
|
TBH, this is a horrible way at least at this point to prove rank. Considering how many players probably just blew placement games to rank low and grind vs lower ranked players(see 1/3 of D level iccup players). Or the fact that people may have been screwed by doing placement matches in unstable Bnet times shoving them in a league weaker than themselves. Or how resets happend every few weeks so this stated factors couldn't be diminished(for lack of a better word). Or how most of the educated TL members agree that the entire league system has alot of flaws. Or how players could just make new TL accts to put an image of newbiness when they could be quality players.
My point is that the BNET metal system is not accurate at displaying skill level, yet. Who knows after the game comes out.
I suggest as another player said earlier that you should be able to invite any player who havn't seemed to appear in any US tounaments. I can't imagine the list being very large to have to figure out. This can also give good but unknown players an option of acheving e-fame. Sort of like a minor league.
*prime example would be that after one reset 2 of my placement matches were just given to me. The opponents just purposful lost or just left the game after a few minutes. This means that i could be placed in Plat while only having the skill of a Gold level player. And vice versa the players who throw their matches could be Gosu but still in gold.

While I agree, your suggestion has the same flaws as the current one.

i dont think its about e-fame, for me, its about wanting to play people around my skill level in a tournament environment and learning to deal with the pressure.

I agree with the past two posters 100%
But i can assure you that that tournaments without strict ways of enforcing and confirming skill level you will encouter smurfs(creating new accts to grind vs weak players). Iccup has a huge problem of this which discourages me of even using Iccup. While you can't have multiple accts with one SC2 key the concept still applies.
I actually think that with a cash prize you will have more Good players fakeing weakness then playing with players your own skill level.
Here is a suggestion. Try doing group stage play. Or double or even triple elimantion rounds. Some system where you will get plently of acutal games in the tournament feel.

Well If Blizzard refuses to implement a system where you set up requirements for our own tournament, then its facepalm.
And if they dont, then If I'm creating a silver and lower tourney for example after the games launch, then I will simply add minimum 100 1v1 games played, im sure noone will fake 100 games to be in tournaments that arent even guaranteed to ever exist

that's exactly why i signed up for this and i'm sure this is why the other gold or lower level players signed up as well. most tourneys have platinum and diamond level players and it just won't be fun for the lower level players to participate in those because we'll just get roflstomped.
for there to be a gold level tourney like this gives us "noobs" a chance to have some fun and compete with each other in a tournament setting.

Frankly without a great tournament feature in Battle.net, tournaments like this will be extremely hard to control.
But as I said, I will defo be checking every single player I play against, and its quite easy to spot the pros from the mediocre players like us. Build orders are an easy way to spot this, as is match history 
Perhaps a couple diamonds will get throught, and hopefully kicked out when the organiser realises that theyre good, however its not about winning, its about enjoying ourselves and getting used to competative pressure, getting better after all

Updated with a unofficial list. Rules have been posted. Sakai and Wolfy you need to choose any country to represent because USA is maxed out. Finding it funny how people cant get so bent out of shape after leaving clear detail that detail will be given later on. If you cannot even read the rules you will obviously not even be in this. For those who chose a city or state please repost again which COUNTRY you want to represent.

**UPDATE**
So the slots have been taken up all 32, but this does not mean this is closed because people will need to play their minimum game requirements and upon placements and among other things so we do need alternate players in case of drops etc.
So please keep the sign ups coming.
Again make sure you read in full all rules before signing up. All your records and placements will be investigated in full to prevent foulplay.

my bet is that if u get placed into plat but go with a 10-32 record he would let you but im not him so dont entirely trust me on this because there are people who throw matches and u might play a couple, there is that chance, but i doubt he will just say you cant compete at all because some other idiots threw there matches and you're doing horrible in plat but for some reason havent been downgraded.

UPDATE
Ok since there has been updates on the beta "may" be going up early registration is hereby closed. The ones registered now will take preference over the other registered players later on when they meet the minimum requirements. Registration will open 1 week after beta starts. Within this week and half everyone that wants to stay on the list and go on the official list with 32 countries will need to make the requirements and me and the judges will me looking thoroughly at all players. After the official list is up prelims will start and maybe group stages if time lets us.
IRC channel Server: quakenet channel: #Sc2WorldCup
Good luck and Godspeed. - Zero-D
|
So meeting the minimum requirements means playing at least 42 1v1 ladder games and being placed in the Gold League or below by then to be able to fully register for this tournament?
And just wanted to say, I'd like to change my country to Ivory Coast over Mexico if possible.
Thanks!

Okay beta is now officially up. All registered countries are now sealed, you cannot change anymore. People need to play their minimum games. As well as post up your character name and number and or real id email (if you want to), only for those that are registered
Everyone has a WEEK AND A HALF to register late. So this means late registration will end Saturday July 16th ** This is subject to change depending on how long the phase two will be up, so watch for updates!!**
All early registered representatives that do have the minimum games played will have preference in making it to the official list.
For those that want to register late, you NEED to have all the minimum requirements AND be Gold or lower leagues, and then you can actually post here to register.
ALL ACCOUNTS WILL BE MONITORED
All in all, early players please submit your account with the following format
Name: the one you registered with Real ID / Character Name: Country: the one you registered with
that should be it
btw BETA IS BACK!!! so everyone have FUN!!

Just curious, what if someone did a version for the pro players, and instead of single players, nations were represented by teams who would fight it out a la CSL or something similar? Sorry if this counts as off-topic, I don't mean to derail this (it's still pending starting) I wasn't sure if this deserved its own topic because it's just a mind experiment.

The list will not be updated until after 16th in which the official list will be given and then brackets will be given shortly after.

With no prize pool, I would hope a diamond/platinum isn't going to try come in with a second account just for the sake of beating up on a bunch of us low level players.
P.S. - trying to hit 35 games by the 16th to register!

I just got promoted to platinum and the level or players in platinum really seems no different to that of gold.
|
I'm sorry I preregistered, and I'm actually close to completing my 42 games required with an around 55% wins but I won't have my new computer in time for the release and so I won't be able to play until I have it and the actual game, which will most likely make me miss the first round matches if I got picked so I'm going to have to drop out, sorry!

Tomorrow is the last day for early registered player to submit their character names and codes because there are not may people that have and right now the roster is very slim compared to what it is before. I guess people dont read or for whatever reason think they are actually in this tournament which they are not if they dont submit their names and codes to check their rankings and games.
DEADLINE IN TWO DAYS!!!
After July 16th, the official list will be worked on and see who makes it for the countries, and the prelim brackets will be up. Prelims will and should (depends on time constraints) be done by the last day of beta phase 2. Then groups will be given along with the stage games on who plays who and which days after retail release.
Thank you and good day - Zero-D

Okay late registration is now closed (sorry for being late)
The official list only has 18 countries in it as of right now, so I pm'd everyone that signed up giving their character name but not their code (which I need) see if we can fill up all 32 countries. So please look through your pms and give me your character name and code with the country you signed up for (only those that were pmd).
Deadline to contact me will be July 20th, if you still want a spot.
PRELIMS BRACKETS AND GROUPS STAGES WILL POSTED AFTER OFFICIAL LIST IS DONE
So far only Mexico needs to have prelims.
Thank You.
|
Hey Zero-D, im a bit confused.
So, since the beta is going to be down on Monday, 19th. Even prelims will be held once the release is over? Does this mean also that regular games will be moved back a few days / a week or two as well?

err maybe you should call it the 'American Cup'? most gold, silver and bronze players dont have multiple accounts so people from EU and AS cant play on the NA servers.

The OP has been updated. The official list is up so check if you are in it.

I got to plat in like my 35th game :/ Damn it!
|
I think pausing as a result in loss is retarded. If there is lag of some sort and you can't pause to fix it and just get an auto loss is beyond the most obnoxious rule in a tournament that I've seen.
|
Well like I posted earlier, I don't know if I will have my new computer available by August 2nd, but if I do I'll definitely do my best to complete my prelimination match.

i guess this is not happening?
|
All the names listed are IGN not TL names, so it is a bit hard to get in contact with your opponent. Luckily my guy is Netherlands for the first match and he is listed just above.
|
That would be cool if people edited their names to show their character codes...
|
i just msessaged my opponet and asked him what his char code is o.o
|
If you make efforts to contact your opponent and he does not reply in time to play the match, do you get an auto win in the bracket? Just curious since I am coming up on this situation.

Yeah am going to say a day after the deadline of the stage game and they still dont reply it will be a forfiet win.

I get that you can just message your opponent one way or another if you have a piece of information about them, but there is a guy in this thread with a name AmericaSC - he's not america, no one else has a TL name of that. In game name doesn't help at all unless you have the ID# so....

zero im 1-0 just won my game against spain chile's match will be tomorrow Merua- Vietnam

Mexico, Japan, and Netherlands any of you team members send me a pm so we can play our matches today...... im from the U.S.
|
Okay now guys I have only three games that have been submitted. You guys really need to submit your games, this is getting ridiculous or even at least pm me that you couldn't find them to give you a forfeit win.
Everyone needs to submit their character code and name or real ID ASAP and post it up here now. AS well as your TL name that way to they can pm you.
If you dont by Aug 9th you will be dropped and replaced by someone that actually wants to play.
|
Incite - 938; I'm 0-1...already submitted the replay to your email.

U.S.A. player here, PM me your code and screen name ASAP!
Still waiting on you 3 countries to play me
Mexico Japan Netherlands....
|
I don't think i can be in this tourney anymore, I got into platinum after my placements and have been winning about 50% of my games and surprisingly, I got promoted to diamond. I'm pretty shocked myself because I never got into platinum once during the 3 weeks I played beta (must've played about 200 games) and now 2 weeks into the game I'm in diamond.
Zero-D its up to you to whether to disqualify me or not.

Ive played my mach against vietnam and Latvia, won to Latvia lost to Vietnam
I sent the replay to the requested mail

Japan Drogith-454 Sent PMs to Mexico and USA to play after the weekend.
Netherlands never showed, so please mark me for a forfeit win.
|
i think with the influx of new players the level of "skill" has dropped imo...
|
I beat USA played JudGePowr 3-0 (I'm Mexican player). Am I supposed to send you the replays?
|
I need replays please email me them, the info is in the OP
for those that have been promoted its alright since you needed to be gold or lower during phase 2, usually ppl get promoted during the tournament so its fine. Because you should be still around the skill level needed. To get promoted anyways all you have to do is just play and 50% win rate and you get promoted eventually.
|
Wow ppl please send in replays i hate to double post but in total I only have FOUR ONLY FOUR replays in TOTAL i might have to cancel this because the inability of ppl sending replays... sheesh...
|
@ Judge Both me and the real Mexico player CidO are waiting for you to get back to us so we can play.
|
I couldn't get a hold of my 2nd round opponent, PMed him about a week ago and haven't got a response.
|
can u confirm whetehr or not is etn my replay or not... because i sent it to the judge email and i havent gotten a response whether its been sent or not its chile vs vietnam...
|
the replays is all i have received
1st stage Chile vs Latvia South Korea vs Serbia Spain vs Vietnam
2nd stage Mexico vs Japan Chile vs Vietnam Latvia vs Spain
this is all i have, if your replays are not in the list you need to submit them. The only group that has been actually active is Group D.
If you want to report a forfeit win, you need to pm me, what round it is, the countries, group and your opponent
|
All right , I sent you the last replay of the groups stage, check the zerfu_7 mail 
:D
|
Lol, thats not fair putting us canadians vs the koreans...
|
I am sorry guys but I will probably have to cancel this since ALL of Group B has not submitted even one replay. And still missing so many replays. The only one done is Group D and some a Group C.
=(
|
I'm sad that this may have to end this way. CidO and I had a pretty nice battle and I was looking forward to more like that.
|
Yeah zero, use what you have and let's move on to quarter finals, if nesesary skip that and straight to semis!!!! We don't need no prizes, just let's end this the right way, It's not fair for those who've been playing this whole time ( and that includes me of corse )
|
Yea, I'd say we continue with what we have. I'm sure the majority of us aren't playing for prizes but for experience in a tournament setting against people of our level. I've never done anything like this before and it was fun to play with added pressure.
|
How is Vietnam and China share the same flag of Vietnam? You are doing a very good job Zero-D!!! Dont let it end this way
|
Okay since not many people paid attention and did submit replays other than a few, this tournament will not have a prizes, sorry guys. But due to popular demand and just plain fun to those that did participate there will be SEMIFINALS and FINALS
Semifinals will be best of 3, loser chooses map Finals will be best of 5, loser chooses map
the bracket is in the liquipedia page so check it out.
Chile vs South Korea Vietnam vs Latvia
hope you guys have fun
all four of you we the best out of all the ones submitted =)
please pm me what times you will play your games id love to spectate these games and try failingly to commentate crappyly =p to the best of my abilities for fun, also do send the replays either way
Enjoy
