Just a question popping up a lot "Can we enter in more than one qualifier/bracket?", to clarify:
YES you can play in all four Qualifiers if you wish.
NO you can only play in ONE bracket per Qualifier.
|
This needs more attention! Probably the best sc2 comp aus is going to see this year! =]
|
Probably? By far the best.
|
|

Agreed this does look good.
If only the blizzard tourney was run as good as this one.

Guys I am changing the time to 6PM, will PM all info later this afternoon. Reason for the time change is that it suits the admins better and makes not much difference to you guys. 5:30 is a good time to turn up to ensure you have everything in order, including your profile set up to show your bnet ID and so that you know the map pool.
Games will start on Saturday September 18th; 6:00PM Sydney time AEST (8:00PM NZST; 4:00PM SST; 5:00PM KST) and continue until the final 8 players are left standing.
Please read THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW.
Also take note that a new map has been added to the map pool:
 XelNaga Caverns
Very sorry for the late notice, but I don't think it should have too big an impact on everyone I hope.

I guess you should do your job a bit better so this doesn't happen again deL.

I guess personal PMs for every player detailing map pool, thread with map pool, and map pool spammed on IRC is not enough for even the most observant SC player. Maybe I should add lots of sparkles and colours so it's more like the game?

End yourself, wanker.

Kinetic If you even knew what happened you should be THANKING del, reflex started the game while del was alt tabbed, del did try and say wait wrong map abot 60-120 seconds into the game. he did everything he could to contact the players. If he followed the rules domo would be banned from CG tournaments for BM'ing an admin.

umad guys?
User was warned for this post

haha yea iaguz sorry for paying u out about that on the stream hahaha

Hey man, just didn't want them stalkesr to have blink, come on. Totally legit strategy.
|
Good point, blink stalkers own...
umm..
something terran has. Battlecruisers. You know.
|
Psht, battlecruisers vs Archons, are you mad?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!!?!?!
Also, if you are commentating PvP, it helps when you actually keep the camera where the battle is. Almost threw up on the LT domo vs Reflex game at the first blink stalker/reflex confonrtation and we couldn't see what was going on. I almost threw up again at the quality of the play (I don't even play PvP and I know that a void ray rush should never really work. I do know NoNy made a fast phoenix build that was popular in beta but kinda died out eventually in favour for hardcore robo facility plays. Yes it's boring but when you get a race like protoss which mostly consists of very hard to kill units that don't deal excellent damage and then give them a very hard to kill unit that actually does do loads of damage then one understands why getting this unit is a must. Same for observers too, really)

You probabally shouldnt do that.. because then instead of me making the wrong map ild actually forget to make it because ild be to busy observing the little sparkles and colours. Ild get a bit to excited.

The fact ur blaming deL for this is a complete joke.. you should blatently be blaming me and not gonig off at deL and telling him to 'do his job better' when im fairly sure no one else in the sea community has organized anything as well as he has.
|
Yeah, alright reflex fair enoguh. Nothing wrong with standard play though ><
|
It was better run this time, the separate chat channels and less general spam helped.
|
DoMo always seems to get 1 more collosus out before me >< which is game breaking in PvP so I wanted to avoid going through that again =[

First things first: Brad = worlds best post.
deL: Not sure how you can blame DoMo for what happened between him and Reflex last night. It's an admin (read: your) error. Reason? WHY THE HELL WERE YOU TABBED IN THE FIRST PLACE?
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING ONCE YOU JOINED THE LOBBY AND SAW THE MAP WAS "KULAS RAVINE"?
ARGH!!!
But you're human. We all forgive you. Everyone makes mistakes.
Fortunately Reflex exhibited a degree of sportsmanship that is shown very rarely from my background (wc3) and agreed to a regame; top bloke move and NZ is very lucky to have someone who is willing to display integrity.
Oh yeah, and Unstable, really dude? Stick to casting, seriously.
|
This thread is turning into a episode of neighbors.
On a more 'on topic post'
Congratulations to all the qualifiers, and great job to deL and the admin staff as far!

Please don't comment on what you have no idea about. DoMo wasn't blamed for what happened between himself and RefleX, but for his abuse and tone afterwards. It's not an admin error I am not there to babysit every single game, I was not going to even join but RefleX added me to the lobby and I just hit accept and got on what what I was doing - the players have to play under that map pool from the very beginning and if they can't get it right by the finals then that is their problem and they will be to blame. Like I said, it was a simple regame but DoMo carried on and made it worse for himself.
EDIT: I know you guys are all a clan but I am not impressed with most of the comments from Downfall, tread carefully guys you don't want to get a bad reputation this early in the game's history.
