Props to the Xin staff for sticking to their word on this one, even though they had to remove the prize money as a result of us getting a refund. Bracket can be found here: http://www.xin-gaming.com/events/amateur.jpg | ||

We will be doing many online ones and some LAN's, Next LAN should go without any problems, we will be very likely be doing qualifiers online and only the top 16 coming to the LAN, of coarse spectators will be encouraged to attend, future events will be announced soon.

Even if you do want to pretend blizzard is faultless how about the fact that they are dragging their feet on adding any form of lan or tournament support. There is no way for a venue to know or plan alternate arrangements in advance as even the people working for SEA.battle.net have no idea that the issue even occurs. I've never been to cydus before but I feel they are being given a bit of a hard time here over events beyond their control - but on the otherhand for what fucking reason did they think they should be allowed to keep the signup money for the amateur comp. | ||

I also tested logging into sea.battle.net and us.battle.net through a browser - it would time out with an error! I'm sorry but your very basic tests don't prove its Blizzard. Actually sounds like a problem with Cydus's ISP and certain routes. Considering blizzard websites aren't hosted with their server equipment. | ||

When beta phase 2 went live most people that tried to log in got the same error that people were getting at Cydus on Saturday, which was basically because blizzard was restricting access to bnet 2.0 at the time to not overstress the servers. I have no idea what they were restricting by, but on one login I was told that battle.net was down and the other worked fine. I dare you to try and tell me this is an issue with my router. Now go hammer the login screen tonight and get yourself temp banned, the message says nothing about being banned (from memory it is 5-6 lines which imply that battle.net is down or unavailable) but that is clearly what the issue is - try restarting your computer, wont help anything - get a new IP, problem solved. I pretty much refuse to accept that Blizzard is blameless in this situation. and @ Pulsenova, I don't much like Kespa anyway, find a better insult. Also I haven't been to N2C in about 10 years but are they still complete wankers about spectators? They used to not let anyone in that wasnt paying money to be there. From memory it was a nice venue but only had about 40 computers and would only ever book out like two rows for use at a competition. Bolded for the blindman Pulsenova. | ||

I also just found out something. MCC has Starcraft 2 on ALL their computers. As in, they have an sc2 account on ALL computers. I was told that the owner of MCC actually bought a sc2 copy for EVERY computer there. I think that's his way of getting sc2 out to the general public. For those on SEA server, next time you play some1 with something like "MiDCty XXXX" then your playing some1 from MCC. Very high chance of it being a diamond player just playing on a Bronze account. lol EDIT (Because DeL proved me wrong): OR you face complete scrubs who just wants to try out the game. At least me and my frend goes on the bronze accounts (there are different level accounts from bronze -->diamond, depending on who's been playing on the comp), and try and win with mass workers =P | ||

I definitely blame these people for me losing my second game zvz and my 4hatch before pool FFA regardless of venue before a place is chosen somebody is going to need to make sure the bnet issues that occured at Cydus wont happen again. NFI how to test if you dont just happen to have 60 spare accounts lying around | ||

We smashed them barely losing a unit and then explained in less than polite terms how this game doesn't have just 1 unit you can't play it like DotA (cos it's a DotA netcafe right?). deL, always furthering esports and SC2. | ||

Hey! Don't pay out DoTA! Also yes, it seems like everyone at MCC plays DoTA, Wish this was the case when DoTA was in it's prime  | ||
