Hello, TeamLiquid ! I'm going to be hosting the third Open Wolf Cup on 1 August 2010. This tournament is open to all players, regardless of rank/ladder standing. It will take place on the US servers (sorry EU/Asia, blame Blizzard) and will have a prize pool (TBA).
If you are interested in taking part in this open tournament, email verdruss@gmail.com with your character name you will use when the game is launched, race, and realID email. If you don't want to email me, feel free to PM me instead. Alternatively, you could post your information in the thread, but that's harder to keep track of (and you don't want to get misplaced).The tournament will have 64 players, but continue to sign up, as last tournament we had about ten or fifteen backups needed. Keep watching this thread, as it will be updated with important information very regularly.
IF YOU SIGN UP FOR THIS TOURNAMENT, PLEASE SHOW UP
I have a list of all noshows from the first two OWCs and will continue to keep a list. If a player does not show up three times, they will never be allowed to participate in my tournaments again. So, before contacting me to be put on the list, PLEASE check your schedule and also check the tournament procedures.
This tournament will take place on the US Servers on Sunday 1 August, at 3:00 PM, EDT (GMT -4).
Prize Pool: $75, thanks Ipp and SirazTV!
SIGNUPS ARE CLOSED However, there is still a possibility that you will be able to play if you show up on time. If you are a selected backup, when you join the IRC, make your nickname with a backup tag (ex: smith_backup). If you want to play, but aren't selected as a backup, make your nickname with an alternate tag (ex: smith_alt). Alternates are less likely to show up than actual tournament participants, so if you really want to play, it can't hurt to show up.

+ Show Spoiler +Until the semifinals, this tournament will be played in single-elimination rounds. At the semifinals, a best-of-three will be played, and the finals will be a best-of-five set. Many players will probably disagree with this, but it's for the sake of time. Unfortunately this tournament would be FAR too long if the sets were longer for elimination. If a player fails to show up for his match, he will lose by default (as of now). Future tournaments will be structured differently, especially invitationals.
In the single-elimination rounds, the maps available will be Lost Temple, Steppes of War, and Blistering Sands. Both players can eliminate one map, and the remaining map will be played. The higher-ranked player eliminates first. As for the semifinals and finals, the maps available will be Lost Temple, Steppes of War, Scrap Station, Metalopolis, and Kulas Ravine. Both players can eliminate two maps from that list. Every time a player loses, they will be able to pick the next map to be played.
This tournament will be race-restricting, so once you pick a race, you cannot swap during the tournament. However, if you'd like to change races before the tournament begins, contact me and let me know.
![[image loading]](http://i32.tinypic.com/20z39dz.jpg)
+ Show Spoiler +Essentially, at 2:30 PM EST, ALL players MUST join my IRC channel (see http://thepassingshadow.com/IRC_Chat.html ). Players will use their exact character name as their nickname in IRC (put an underscore afterwards if there are problems with the nick being taken, which can sometimes happen with connection errors). The bracket will be posted so that players can see who their first opponents are. Once in IRC, players should find their opponents and PM them (/msg <username> <message> ) and start sending realID information so that they can add each other as friends. After that, the players should enter a party with one another, do map eliminations to decide which map they will be playing on (see map rules below), and then wait for me to tell everyone to begin their first match (will happen around 3 PM EST). What happens if your opponent does not show up ? PM me in IRC letting me know, and I will either replace your opponent with someone on the waiting list or let you know that you will receive a lucky free win (bye) and will wait for the second round to begin. After I announce in IRC to begin, all 32 parties will play their first game. Casters will begin casting some of these games. Whenever someone finishes their first game, the WINNER will PM me on IRC, specifying both who won and who lost. Once all groups of players have sent me the winners and losers, and EVERY game of the first round is finished, the second bracket will be posted and players will once again PM each other with realIDs and join parties. Once everyone appears to be set up, the second round will begin, and once again, the WINNER will PM me on IRC with both the winner and the loser. This will repeat until the semifinals. The first two players I choose to commentate will play first, and I will add them as realID friends, and invite them to my party. In party chat, map will be decided, and the first game will begin, and I will commentate. The round will be a best out of three with counter-picks for maps, and then the next players will play. After that, the two finalists will choose maps again, and the same procedure will take place with me commentating, except with a best of five. Afterwards, the winner will be announced and everyone will be free to ask for rematches, etcetera etcetera, ask me questions in chat. What happens in a dispute over who won the match ? I will add one of the players' realIDs, and look at match history. If there is a further dispute, I will ask for the replay file.

Maybe because PvZ is my best matchup. They're just afraid of me in general.
But have no fear, Zergs! I'm only organising this one. Not playing.

Ya 5 Zergs! Lets GO. 1 of us zergs is gonna win

The more tournaments you do, the less nervous you'll be during them.

Email sent, these tourneys are always fun and hopefully I don't have technical issues this time.
|
I'll be there for the third cup!! Release day is going to be great.
|
Will update player list and probably bracket tonight after dinner. Bracket might wait until tomorrow. Thanks for support everyone! Going to have another 'banner' contest this time, but not for the banner in the OP. Won't be changing junk's awesome banner, though. Will explain later but the winner will earn a spot in future OWCs.
|
ok this time i PROMISE to be there... since it won't be during world cup finals or anythign :D
sorry about last time!
|
awesome looking forward to it hope no soccer games are on this date XD
|
Awsome tournament ! The Wolf Cup II was so much fun can't wait for the 3rd edition. This is really a nice little tournament to meet new people, friendly atmosphere, no stress and great games !
|
PM Sent. edit: ignored? D:
|
|
Sorry about not updating list tonight.. Had a very unexpected visit from a friend.
How do you guys feel about Match Point being in the map pool ?
|
hmm... match point is a bit imba (well, i have only played it once in pvt in one showmatch) but it's too untested that I think it'd be better to wait.
|
lol btw better hone my pvp skills as it seems toss is out in full force
|
|
Email sent! Hopefully I made it in time, I am very excited to try my hand in a tournament. Wish the beta was still up so I could practice some more.

Looks like a lot of TvP... are you avoiding mirror match ups?

Probably needs some more testing on SC2. Not to many people have played it. Just get some people you know and do a bunch of games on it. Try and see if you can find any blatant abuse that happens in SC2 on that map.
|
PM'ed, and i would be against match point showing up in the pool.
|
PM'd, will actually show up this time, making sure work doesn't get in the way! Rocking zerg come release too, so I'll add the the rather zergless player pool...
Also, yeah Match Point is relatively untested, so I'd wait for now. Next Wolf Cup is probably the one you want to be using user made maps for.
|
email and pm sent ^_^ cant wait
|
email sent a while ago!
|
I haven't posted the names yet because I have like 120+ emails to go through o_o but basically, a lot of people are going to have to wait until next time or show up as backups.
Looks like people don't watch Match Point in; please further discuss this. I'm merely trying to improve the map pool. To be honest, we don't know if Blizzard will implement further maps into the release or not and I'm just trying to 'diversify' here.
Thanks,
Wolf

dude... matchpoint is so sexy. should totally use it
|
send pm aswell for the sign ups. ganna be on time!
|

I'd just like to point out that currently daylight saving time is being observed for EST timezones so it's actually GMT -4 (this made me late for Open Wolf Cup 2, good thing I showed up early )

Nah. Just got lucky when I was going to check another tournament thread to see if there were updates.
Come on Zergs! Sign up!

Just registered for this via e-mail, cool stuff. Thanks for the opportunity. Good luck to all the participants.

You're going to play, right ?
|
Damn, I guess I was a bit too late to register. Doesn't look like my name made it to even the back-up list. Oh well, maybe next time .
|
Signups are now closed! However, see the email I sent to all registrars who did not make it in and follow suit if you'd still like to participate:
You are receiving this email because you have signed up for the third Open Wolf Cup (OWC3) and there are no available slots. However, if you would like to participate and are not busy on the first of August, show up in IRC (http://thepassingshadow.com/IRC_Chat) anyways with your name in the format <name_alt>. The _alt tag lets me know you're wanting to participate. Continue to leave feedback in the OWC3 thread about how the tournament is run and what you would like to see in the future.
Keep in mind that there will be an OWC every week (my schedule allowing) after launch so that if you cannot participate in this one, just keep looking for the next one.

Brackets should be up as soon as I hear from iNcontrol, nEAnS, and JUNK.

Stars are next to players who are either well-known for being good players or players that I have seen play very well in the past.

Looking for someone to help me with my OP by helping me design little banners for sections like this:
![[image loading]](http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b259/jEfFuWeE/REPLAYS-1.jpg)
That's from a Bay Area LAN tourney, but basically, I'm looking for a similar design with of course colours that better fit the OWCs. You can put whatever text you want on them and I'll let you know what to put if I like your design.
I guess you could call this a 'contest'. Whoever submits the best design will earn a spot in all future OWCs. That being said, if only one person submits a terrible design, you won't earn the spot. So submit some cool stuff, guys.
Ask junk how much he enjoys his reserved spot (he made the banner at top of OP)
|
Hmmmm, I am interested in designing some banners, do you want them posted here? and also, what title do you want on them?
|

Sure, post them here. Just put something like "Rules" or "Replays" or "Players" and we'll go from there.

why does it say incontrol is terran ? did he switch races?

Both of you did a nice job with the banners. Hmm...
Maybe play around with the colours a little, though. iEchoic's white "Wolf Cup" doesn't show very well and the trophy doesn't stand out very nicely either simply because it's hard to see with the grey.
As for yours, Dusk, it looks pretty nice, but for some reason the words don't stand out to me as well as they might. Maybe we don't need "Wolf Cup" on the side, but that's up to you guys. Also the 'cup' isn't necessary for these either, really. Just some suggestions to think about.
Maybe work on your designs a bit ?

Ok here is my hand at a design. Did you want your name in the banner anywhere? Or have any image associated with your player name (similar to white ra)?

Here is my second version I adjusted the text some and tweaked the design.

Hopefully it shows up alright on the forums, looks pretty cool on my end.

Third variation on the design. This one is a bit more simplistic. Any suggestions?

Hey Aeneas, is there a chance you could upload yours larger, I'd love to take a look at them but they are simply too small!

There I found what was wrong, was posting the wrong link from my fliker account.

Ooooh. Wow, there's a lot of cool ones to choose from. I'll basically give until Friday night before I decide a winner, so keep posting, guys!
If you guys post improvements, don't delete the old ones because I might like them better. Just keep posting new stuff if you guys do change anything.

Would you like a new post or just editing the old one? I have all of my previous versions in the first post.

Hey, I need an outside opinion, Which of these right sides is better? So i can apply that to future versions.

I like all of these, actually. I really like the middle one because it seems like it's on fabric or something, but the others look great as well.
You guys are all making such amazing stuff that I might bounce around and use different banners for different cups or something. It's so hard to even decide which ones I like best.

I think all the banner writing should be done with SC2 lettering to keep the theme related. Nice banners so far though.

I downloaded a Starcraft font, is there a different font than the one that is already on my banner?
![[image loading]](http://i885.photobucket.com/albums/ac54/dusk-dusk/aaaaglow.png?t=1279740937)
if so could i have a download link for that font?

You're using the same SC font that I use for stuff. Dunno where the one junk is talking about is, though. Maybe link them, junk ?

Oh God I'm going to be up against Sheth again in RO16 (assuming I make it that far).

Oh and just as a suggestion, if you're planning to run this every week perhaps you should put a standings section in the OP, kind of like the ZOTAC Cup thread where it shows the previous winners/runner up and how many times they've won.

I could do that, but the Zotac Cup is an invitational tournament, right ? So it's a bit different.

And for options sake:
|
I personally enjoy these here. The font is SC2 and I think they would look good as the opening statement for the tourny.
|
Oh yea, and it matches the style of my wolf, on the far right side.
|
Also, I think, you do not need the OWC tournament number as part of your banner. Since, these are section header banners. Just need top banner to display the number.
|
Thanks for all the work you all have done, along with the suggestions you've made.I really do appreciate it. I'll announce which banners I'll be using tomorrow night.
I'm so excited to run this tourney.. Woooo!
Edit: You can, of course, continue to work on your designs until that time.

Ok I revamped mine a bit. I used the same wolf as junk and I used the SC II font in everything. Also the words are really easy to change so don't worry about what they say, if you wanted me to make ones that said replay, when, where, how or whatever its an easy fix.

These or any of the previous versions I submitted are all still valid for the contest.
Alright and here are some with the glow text to make it stand out more. Just fwi I can do the same with any of the other banners so if there are suggestions please let me know before the end tomorrow.

anyone want to get together on release day and train with me for this. pretty much our practice group would address PvT (probably most common MU) and TvT and PvP. the metagame was very dynamic at phase 2 and hopefully the few days prior our practice group could help flesh out some good BO's and strategies.

LOL thanks for the support, but I know that Morrow is no piece of cake I am out to get revenge for him beating me in bo1 though... damn his perfect timing!

I don't mind if people post in my tournament thread about practice. In fact, I encourage it. That way more people can get involved in practice, even if they aren't able to play. No need for PMs, really.

in the GIMP, a free editing program, there is a filter called Alpha to logo, which allows you to do things like that, and this:

I think your second design is very good too ;-) , I love your abstract background. The only small problem that I see is your text is on very busy similar in value background what makes it hard to read.

Thanks!! I assume the ellipses was due to something similar as the hesitation i had to offer advice on yours earlier? haha, I love the narrower version of your banner, it looks great.

Wow, the decisions are sooooo hard to make. There's so many banners in here that I love. Not a single one that I don't like. I might rotate between you all and let you all win. 
Seriously I dunno what to do.

Sweet! I'd be game with that.

Maybe you should do a pole on the current submissions if you can't decide(but know you just want one, I am too down with the multiple winner scenario). Like this one:

Well, it woud be tough to add it to the pole. . . would you like me to substitute it in for one of your others that I put there?

I don't know I really liked them all, but this is by far one of the best, maybe with the forth one, nobody seemed to like that one except me.

2nd one looks the best imo, it's got a space theme. This is STARcraft after all.
|
I want to add that just because I am putting a poll up doesn't mean that necessarily I'll -never- use the others' banners. I'll use them later more than likely. So don't feel bad if yours isn't working out in the poll or whatever. Close poll so far, anyhow.

I got to say I really like derk.asunder's banner a lot !

Yeah I'd be happy to help even if you don't use mine for this first one, just let me know and I'll make/send the other banners for you with all the different words like "replays" or "players" etc.

Oh yeah. For sure. I'd love to help out with anything like this too. If you need an icon or a banner for something else just let me know and I will take a shot at it.

Wow, there sure have been a lot of votes - honestly though, I am surprised that #2 is getting more votes than #1

holy crap so many Protoss players.

I really liked them all, but 6 (PLxD) & 1 (Dusk) is by far one of the best,

My two faves are also #1 and #6, i voted for #1 (naturally) and since it isn't winning i am glad to see #6 up there.
edit: its probably not getting votes because its not getting votes (ugh) what i mean is that because it has so few votes no one wants to throw there vote away by not voting on the top three.

Winner will be announced at the end of my daily show tonight around 9:45 PM EST / 10:45 AM KST.

Yes, nice ..... ;-))))))))
you pronounce my name well ;-)
Thank you.

PLxDratewka wins the banner contest and a guaranteed spot in all future OWCs! Will be PMing him soon in order to get the banners set up.
At 9:45 PM EST, he was ahead by just two votes, just two little steps ahead of Aeneas. Since that was when the contest ended, and votes beyond that time will not count. Thanks for all the participation from the contestants and voters! The other banners will probably be used later on, so if you didn't win, don't feel like your effort was wasted!
|
Ah, so close, 2 votes. I will admit that I rather liked PLxDratewka's design alot though. Also, feel free to pm me or email me if you want to use my design sometime. I guess I'll be waiting next week with my hand on the f5 key to try to register for the next Open Wolf Cup so I can try to prove myself in starcraft II as well.

Congratulations PLxDratewka! your banner is rather fantastic. So sad though that I can't represent the Wolf Cup, maybe for something else in the future. . .
I'd also like to thank the 157 people that voted for my designs - thanks.
Looking forward to the tournament.

Don't work dusk! I'll definitely be using your banner in the future, possibly for an event coming up fairly soon...
Thanks to everyone for helping me get these banners out.
I've updated the OP with Dratewka's design (although I forgot to ask him for a "Coverage" banner, so that will have to wait until tomorrow). Hope everyone likes it.

Hey Wolf, the OP looks great. However, the banners are larger than the forum allows and so it displays this annoying yellow border around them. I would suggest making them slightly smaller to make that border go away.
just a thought.

I didn't realise that. We'll have to ask Dratewka if he'd like to do that. Do you know what the limitations are ?

Well on the image info description it says "728px × 60px (scaled to 591px × 49px)" So my guess would be that if you set the size around the 591 by 49 it won't make the border on it.

Thanks so much to TeamLiquid's Sonuvbob for submitting this as an event for review!
All casters need to make sure to relay their stream as an event during the tournament.
Keep in mind also that since we now are a listed event, the tournament will start immediately at 3 PM EDT (0400 KST). If you are late, you lose. You will be replaced.
|
Very nice. Will be there
|
Tourneys looking massively improved since the first both in level of competition and presentation, nice work. Looking forward to it.
|
Tonight is the last night I will be sleeping before able to play SC2! Looking so forward to another OWC. These tournaments are great, and a great place to be found, talent wise.
Pratice Pratice till August 1st

I can't wait to cast this. I've been on vacation for a week and this will be the first SC2 thing I will do when I get back this Sunday. Reading SC2 forums almost makes me want to come back early lol.

Have no fear; there have been a few reports of noshows thus far. If you're a backup reading this, you know you have even more incentive to show up tomorrow.

Yeah, I've seen you pop into IRC quite a few times dusk. I haven't ever been there at the same time, and you're always gone when I get back. But yes, you had your name correctly written.

The IRC seems very inactive at all times except tournaments. Thanks for letting me know about my name that is good. I really hope i can participate tomorrow.

Okay, I am a moron. I've showed up yesterday and today and thought the tourney was going on. I swear yesterday was the 31st -_-. Drank too much. I'll just show up every day at 2:30 EDT until it happens to be the right day.
|
I should be there. If I forget about IRC just tell me I'm an idiot in game Wolf

Sigh... Remember, the tournament will usually be held on SUNDAYS, so if you're ever uncertain of the date, think of the day of the week it is.
|
That's what I tell myself, but Australia's from the future so it's already Sunday for me
|
I want to play :D, i'll be watching anyway and catch the next one.

You might be able to play if you show up.

Just wanted to give a heads up, I might not be here to play. But I will try and make it.

anybody gonna stream huk vs qxc?

Qxc is such a high-spirited guy. He runs a ton of marines, scans, sees colossus next to the tower, he hesitates just a second and... stims and pushes forward! Fortunately the force fields stopped the marines from running right into the laser's range, and then he ran away - where? Right into the enemy's base, of course! So much fun.

Damn, I was at my nieces 1st birthday... sorry I didn't show, theres always next time eh?
|
Very fun tournament, thanks wolf.
|
|
kawaiirice vs huk, any stream?
|
|
|
Go Kawaii! I can't believe I missed Kawaii > Huk.
|
BigT, don't stream other peoples' streams, it's pretty rude.
|
BigT quit that shit lol, stop worrying about your viewer count and trying to hijack someone else's tournament/stream
|
hahahahhaha that made me laugh so hard, what a silly move bigt
|
great matches, but the petty fighting over the streaming and everyone and their grandma wanting to be casters is getting to be a bit tedious.... remember its not enjoyable for the people watching. Set up the rules for your stream from the beginning and don't get wishy washy with the rules on who is allowed to stream and who isnt allowed.
Other than that enjoying the tourny.
|
BigT, that is such an obnoxious dick move.
It is Wolf's tourney, he is allowed to do what he wants.
|
There wouldn't be any fighting if the casters were courteous and accepted the admin's decisions.
|
Yeah - streaming someone else's stream is awfully lame.
|
Oh look, BigT's whining is getting him a spot as a caster. [sarcasm] Yay. [/sarcasm]
|
Dick move by BigT gets him viewers apparently. Sorry to see Wolf have to deal with these kind of things as he is a pretty awesome guy.
|
Now BigT has a perfect platform to beg for money. Someone should talk to that guy. Tuned into his stream and first thing I hear "Only need 15 more dollars! Heres my link!" (I JUST tuned in also and already don't want to watch the tournament after hearing that disgusting stuff) It is like I just left Sheetz and some dude needs to call his friend!
Oh wow apparently there is more complaints about him, heh

|
Greatly ran tourney! Was a joy to watch.
What else do we have for live events coming up from you? (and the rest of the community)
edit: I have gooder grammar.
|
Thanks for the tournament Wolf.
|
who won? great tourney btw! missed the semis >.<
|
Don't want to hate on the casters or take sides, but here goes:
BigT is an amazing guy, and he's also a smart player. He doesn't pretend to be better than he is, but he is a very good diamond player. He's funny, he has good insight, and he also casts his own games as he plays them.
He wasn't worrying about his viewer count, but a lot of people (including myself) really enjoy watching his stream - nothing against any other streamers but it's like a brand - if you're comfortable with it, you wouldn't want to switch. So he did what his viewers wanted him to do, which was to continue to cast. He asked why he couldn't cast, on behalf of his viewers. He's not spiteful or anything. He likes what he does, and he listens to what his viewers want.
Not saying that the censorship was a right or wrong decision, I won't even go into that - but don't judge anyone if you don't know them.

While I agree that the blame wasn't entirely on BigT, frankly, he did lose his cool a bit after they refused to invite him to obs. I think, at the end of the day, both casters could have handled the situation more professionally than they did.
|
|
The problem is , this was Wolf's tournament , if he wants to cast it himself, he has every right. BigT should have been manner about it and went with the wishes of the tournament host. He just approached this whole thing wrongly.
|
Here's how I feel about the BigT situation:
It's my fault for not being very clear about how OWCs' casts are done. In the tournament procedures, I do sort of outline exactly how the casts are done, but those procedures were written for the original OWC and were only slightly modified for this one. If you'd like to cast my tournament, I would like to be contacted about it first. I'll try to me clearer and more organised in the future about this. I take responsibility for this.
Someone repeatedly asking me, while I'm trying to run a tournament, in a lobby chat, if someone ELSE can cast the game, is not the way to go about things. Someone wanting to cast a game needs to contact me directly. There are several ways of going about this, from PMing me to messaging me in-game, to asking me directly in my stream chat, IRC chat, or even by email. I love to have people cover my tournaments; it makes me feel important, to be honest. But I don't like when people stream my stream within theirs. That simply deteriorates the quality of my event. Especially if 400+ people could be watching a higher-quality cast. That means several people are hearing about an event, and happening to click a stream, to find terrible quality. That makes me unhappy. When a streamer listed for an event does something like that, it makes the event look bad, and it doesn't bode well for the streamer either. It makes them look silly. I did not myself see BigT ask for money. I don't know if I should believe that he did, as others have said, but using my event to ask for money while streaming MY stream is very disappointing and is, in my opinion, very unprofessional. Especially because these tournaments are not about the money. OWCs are supposed to be all about community fun.
BigT is not a bad caster; in fact, I like his casting. I've been watching him every now and then ever since phase one ended. I don't have a problem with BigT at all, and I want to make sure people know that. I know he really wanted to cover this event. I only wish he had contacted me about it personally so that I could speak with him directly about it, rather than us just indirectly speaking.
So, I'd rather this thread not be about this drama and instead just to be about discussion of this tournament! So please don't mention the BigT stuff anymore, okay ? And please don't say bad things about him. He's a cool guy. These are all of my thoughts on the matter.

Oh, that's something I completely forgot to mention.
If you have replay packs you'd like to share with everyone, please post them here!
I'm sure everyone wants to see the awesome games we played here tonight.
|
if you would could you update the final bracket please?
|
How did it end? (missed it) Almost sure that + Show Spoiler +KawaiiRice won. The guy may gonna pwn the whole scene very seriously in a couple of years. Also, I enjoyed the games between him and HuK. What gm players. Reminded me of Blizzard's showmatches during the beta, with David Kim and someone else being very mannered and funny.

Congratz to KawaiiRice, well played.
Congratz to Wolf for the awesome tourney.
Thanks to all the 800+ viewers that watched Ragequit.tv during the tourney, and thanks to Wolf and Co. for letting us cast! The way it sounded afterwards, I think we'd love to join in on the casting at any time in the future, just let us know (or we will let you know!)
