?! not sure whats your point here.

By the way for those who are attending, pay asap. I am trying to get some leverage based on our attendance level but its kinda hard since CS seems to be THE GAME and seems rather complicated to get more prize pool for a 1v1 tourney. But this event will be the best time to put SC2 on the map and make a name for ourselves ...and to dictate the future events for 2011 and of course, get bigger prize pools.

For the format, it will be round-robin on saturday and double elimination for the playoff round on sunday. Still figuring out exactly what it will be (time and number of games) kinda complicated since we need to finish early on sunday

bo3 round robin would be too long i guess.
sunday it will probably be bo3 until finals but it might be confirmed at last minute because it will depend on how many players will attend.

For time reasons, we'll have to limit the number of participants to 128. Right now 72 out of 147 have paid out. So that leaves 56 opens spots. In other terms, if you plan to come and havent paid, do it NOW!

See ya there

This is pretty cool. It's so nice to see competition at least to try to take off. No SC2 WCG this year means I have 1 year to get good. Awesome.

I hope they understand that this kind of event is less than 1/10th the interest level over all of Canada.

Indeed, Canada is a good place for gaming but the e-sports scene really sucks. Wish the MLG would come here to organize events similar to the one in Raleigh. Their game lineup is better than WCG imo. But hopefully this will be a wake up call for WCG and they'll add SC2 next year. Fingers crossed.

Hey,

Driving from Ottawa either Friday night or Saturday morning. Possibly have room to take 1 (more) person. If you have a desktop it may need to sit on your lap for the drive. Will be cramped but cheaper than the bus ^.^

PM me.

Cheers

By the way, if we reach 128 players, prize pool will be raised to 1900 $ Total

in that case, do you prefer a top 8 prize pool or top 12 ? (double elimination tournament)

I still think i might have a chance at top 8 but my vote is top 12

If i win something then the trip becomes more worth it

Its going to be crazy fun anyways if we get 128 sc2 players!!!

p.s. Whatever we're at now add +1 because my friend is coming and will pay asap.

screw Slush, top12 paid please

10% of the field being paid is standard payout in poker, see where poker is at now?

Edit: I just noticed that the sc2 tournament starts on Saturday (what i expected) Any info on the format??

I don't think this has been answered : it's gonna be 16 groups of 8 players, top 2 from each group goes the final round which is double elimination

Damn, I hope it's not boring without Grrr / Testie / Veg.. is Fayth playing in this one?

Fayth is not going, but I'm pretty sure Kiwi, Slush and others will make a good enough show...

lies? really? I talked to kiwi and he said Grrrr had played sc2 a bit... is he still in korea?

I played a few dozen games with Grrr since the beta, in short :

he was back in Quebec since 2008, ran business, he told me he was in Korea for gaming a couple weeks ago - he was very solid as both Protoss and Terran and always played under smurf accounts to avoid being harassed by people

he didn't tell me what names he used, but if we still have no idea who Torch is (I haven't followed news since the end of the qualifications), I would bet that's him

Lefnaij will be there too.

And some quebecers that are doing good on the ladder such as AlexCmoi and Taurent.
Should be alot of fun

And we'll probably hit the 128 players mark and it will be top12 since most of the players prefer that way. Like you said, 10 % of players is always a good rule
