UPDATE BRACKETS POSTED!
Tournament brackets can be found here: http://challonge.com/fxopen (if we missed you I truely apologise but this was origionally a 128 player bracket we will be more comprehensive next time)
Games listed under PRELIMINARIES can be played prior to the 27th of November. If you play your game prior to the 27th of November, please email the result + replay to manager@fxoceania.com to confirmation. It is not compulsory to play your preliminaries before the 27th, however it would be best that as many of these games are played as possible in order to have a smoother event.
Please note, we seeded 32 players, some of them randomly, the others based on reputation and location (we seeded some of the TOP SEA players NA players, etc). Note that this is the first of many tournaments to come, and future seeding will be based on past results for all events (even live events).
Streamers:
Unstable TV! with Unstable & Sephyre: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/unstable-tv1
SC2TV.RU! http://sc2tv.ru/
The tournament format is as follows:
DAY 1
BO1 until RO32
PRELIMINARIES – METALOPOLIS (ro512)
ROUND 1 – LOST TEMPLE (ro256)
ROUND 2 – XEL’NAGA (ro128)
ROUND 3 - Shakuras Plateu (ro64)
ROUND 4 - Veto system starts now! (ro32)
END OF DAY 1
DAY 2
ROUND 5 (ro16)
ROUND 6 Quarter finals
ROUND 7 Semi Finals!
ROUND 8 BO5 final and play off
This we feel is the best format to keep time and interest in the tournament. We understand that some people have a tough road to the RO32, I apologise if you feel so. But I assure you this won’t be the case for any future tournaments.
ON THE DAY PLAYERS SHOULD LOOK TO TURN UP AT LEAST 15 MINUTES EARLY
In order to be eligible to play and report your matches, you must log in to web chat at http://2bh.org/chat/
There will be a chat room with 4 administrators. FXOPEN, Will, unstable and another person from 2bh will be admining the tournament.
You must log in to chat to report all games/problems to the administrators. If you do not report them, the results will not count.
If you cannot find your opponent, its likely you will find them in chat. If you are in chat and they do not show up in 15 minutes after start time, they will forfeit.
Also be aware that an admin may request to stream your game. Tournament rules state that FXOpen holds the rights to stream any game they wish.
Please note, if you wish to participate in the creative strategy prize, you must send your replays to manager@fxoceania.com with the subject “MOST CREATIVE” you MUST WIN your match in order to be eligible. You may nominate an opponent if you see fit.
Finally, if you do not declare a scratching PRIOR to the 27th of November, you will be blacklisted for the next 5 FXOpen events (including live events). We are happy to host events for the community, but please do right by us and if you do not intend on showing up, or think you may not be able to, please scratch yourself from the event. It makes everything so much easier on everyone.

|

|
Nuri, it will be updated in the next 24 hours. Thanks for the word of warning.
Thanks for the encouragement drewbie, hoping for a smooth successful tournament  And hoping everyone turns up.
|
hey i would be able to make it anymore. my id is ToSsDog #125. sorri!
|
Can I still sign up?
If so, my ID is Dynamite.539.
|
There's a mistake. It says Ro16, then Ro8, then quarter finals. But Ro8 is the quarter finals, so Round 6 should be deleted and Round 7-9 given 1 number lower (so that finals is round 8).
|
before I saw we would need to confirm out sign up but now I can't see it in the OP, is it still necessary and how does one go about doing it?
|
Does anyone know anything about the nGen team? I don't know anything about them but I cannot find anything on them, I've tried googling them as well and I just get a CS team. Do they have a webpage? Can anyone link it if they know?
I saw that they have 2 players in this, on ladder I've played a couple of them and would like to know more.

We changed things so that instead of reconfirmation, you have to scratch yourself if you cannot make it. If you do not scratch yourself, you will be black listed from 5 future events held by FXOpen.
This was easier from a management point of view. As we have over 400 players.
nGen I don't know much about. All I know is they lost to GG/izhere in a clan war recently. GG/izhere has a forum section over at 2bh.org
