About StarCraftMecca
StarCraftMecca is a merchandising company that sells progaming merchandise from progaming teams in Korea. Currently we only provide SC:BW team merchandise but we are hoping to get enough interest so that we can stock both SC:BW and SC II team merchandise. StarCraftMecca is founded by a former SC:BW gamer (iCCup rank of C-) and a current SC II gamer (only 1700+ points in Diamond unfortunately, switched to Protoss from Zerg and just started losing everything TT) so it's pretty much a company run by gamers for gamers. This means that we know how you feel about StarCraft in general and will do our best to accomodate everyone!

Yes! Its on a weekend. BTW, I like the round if 48 format, it garantees you get at lest two games.
|
Actually it's guaranteed 4 games.
Step 1 Ro48: You have to play against both opponents once each and whoever makes it out of the group makes it out.
Step 2 Ro48: You play a Bo3 with the player that didn't make it out of the group.
4 games FTW!

Hey K0re, do you guys happen to have a commentator set up to live commentate? I would be happy to travel down from red deer if you guys are in need. PM me for any information such as experience and etc.

As far as a commentator to live commentate we don't have one set up at the moment but I'm not sure if we're going to have one at all (due to the how the venue is set up). I'll give The Node a call and have a response by tomorrow or the day after.
|
Completely understandable man, either way this is looking like a pretty decent tournament.
Good luck to all participants!
|
can we bring our own equipments? such as keyboard/mouse/headset?
|
Can we bring our own keyboard and mouse?
Yes, as long as it is a plug-and-play USB. No additional drivers will be installed and if you do not have a keyboard and mouse, by signing up for the tournament you are agreeing to use the ones provided by Node Gaming.
It's in the FAQ by the way lol

I kinda was hoping that people would be signing up from the SCM site so that I'd have a list of people that I could message in the future for upcoming tournaments ... if anyone that sent me a PM through here could just make an account there and send me the PM through there that'd be great.

Working on getting this out to more places, if anyone from the VGC for UofC sees this please send it over to them as well.
|
|
|
Sooo coming :D
Honk? 
|
I really wanna go to this, but again I leave Calgary on the 3rd = /
and I would really like to have that OZ jacket lol
you guys have fun
|
What graphics settings would be allowed at the tournament? I don't play on ultra or anything but I'm just wondering.
|
I'll almost 100% come and lose. Is there a registration deadline? Am I able to reserve a spot? xD
|
Can you explain what the March Mayhemm thing is? I.E , it would be interesting to see whether it would be worth it for Fnatic to send someone if they would be qualifying for a much bigger event, etc o-o;
|
Can we come spectate?
Yes, anyone can come to watch and cheer but if the venue starts to get packed participants will have priority.
What graphics settings do we have to play on?
You will have the option to change the in-game settings around before your matches.
Is there a registration deadline?
Once the registration list is full we will be taking a waiting list as a backup for those that don't show.
What is the March Mayhem?
It is a much bigger tournament with more players and a much bigger prize pool / sponsors. Also, StarCraftMecca will be involved in a few worldwide events and the participants of these events will be lightly based on the tournaments we have held in the past.
P.S. I'm updating these on the main thread at SCM so that people can have an easy place to find the answers in the future.
|
What are the skill levels of my fellow Calgarians? I'm about 2300 diamond.
I'll come anyways if I can get off work before registration is full, but I'm curious to know how what sort of competition I would be up against, or if I even have a remote chance at getting a high spot.
|
|
|
I AM 1500 DIAMOND! I'm going to get owned ...
|
i'm about 500-700 diamond.. shit lol. I'll still likely sign up and show though
|
im getting sc2 tomorrow!! :D grn im coming to rape u
|
I'm about 1950 diamond atm, but I haven't been practicing as much as I could be. I'll probably make my way up to 2300-2400 in the next couple weeks.

Yeah, I'm probably gonna get smashed to. But it should still be fun as hell.
|
I might have to go back to Zerg for the tournament ... I have like 40 straight losses as Protoss ... lol
|
NOTE: You can choose your race based on matchup ONLY. However, you can only stick with 2 races.

Lol @ kOre clarifying rule about himself.

Oh man! NrG guys... Revenge from the Brood War tourney inbound.

|
lol yay im not last!! i really need a new comp, sc2 is borderline unplayable atm on my shitty old one

What do you guys think of using Match Point (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=180223) as a map for the tournament? I want to start using iCCup maps in the tournaments that I'll be hosting because I personally believe they are much better than quite a few ladder maps.

I actually just added the poll on the SCM thread over at http://starcraftmecca.net/forum/index.php?topic=16.0 to see what we should do in the future so if you're participating please make a vote
|
omg is that you drag on the list? Don't worry about us nrg kids in cgy we suck at sc2 lol. I'll probably sign up within the next few days. Especially if drag is coming omg.
|
Oh wow, this is on the 8th? I thought it would be on the 31st or the 1st with "New Years" in the title. I thought I wouldn't be able to make it, but I guess I can.
Does the node have some table space for me to set up my laptop?
|
You wouldn't be able to use your laptop because they don't allow outside computers to be connected to their network. Oh and I've added the SC2ranks link on the main post as well.

Well damnit. I can't really play on a standard keyboard anymore because my laptop is so different.

Hmm... If my 3G is fast enough in the area, it's possible you can play with my phone's 3G, as I have a program which allows it. I actually played a ladder match while going through the rockies in a good patch of coverage, no lag! ^^

That would be great if it worked. I'm amazed 3G can do that, I didn't even think 4G was fast enough.

SC2 doesn't realy require a ton of data once its installed. Think of the size of a replay.

What the hell, that's some crazy shit, that would actually help out and we could add 2 more computers which would give us a nice number of 32

It would only work with one, as it needs a cord.
|
Ahhh well that'd be cool if it worked regardless. Only a few days left until the tournament guys, get your game faces on!

Alright, so you will be there with your phone and cord guaranteed? I'll sign up if theres a good chance I can play on my own hardware.

Unless my phone breaks down randomly, yes.

24/48 registrations so far, we might have to make some adjustments to the prize pool depending on how this goes ... but we still have a week so we can hope for the best. Get the word out guys!
|
I didn't see this on the FAQ so yeah.
Will there be map vetoes?
|
Anyone coming from edmington alberta? I have someone who wants to make the trek down but he has no car ;(
|
Ahhh good question, it'll be one map veto per person for each round except for the finals where each map will be used.
|
nice tourney i wish i could come ;D
|
me and my brother are driving up to calgary from edmonton if you are looking for a ride give me a shout
|
He meant my brother and I, but yea, we are and we have room for a couple.
Drewbie, you CAN come just learn how to teleport. 
|
Sicc, 27 people registered so far, this should be awesome, and we can all go Korean BBQ after if people want to
|
A ton of Terran players just registered making this tournament go from pretty much 50% Protoss 45% Zerg and 5% Terran to 33/33/33 lol guess everyone has to practice all MU's now
|
I'll go to the bbq for sure. Even if I'm out early, I'm gonna play ladder on any spare computer.
|
i'm scared i'll be knocked out really early =( lol. so whos the favorite to win? rebuke?
|
I AM GOING TO WIN MUAHAHAHA
|
Lol don't put me up against you first kOre T_T
|
How ARE the seeds working anyway?
|
What do you mean by seeds? Like for the March tournament?
|
Calgary25996 Posts
Can't come because of TSL

Damn ... I was really hoping you could come, by no chance that could be on Jan 7th our day Jan 8th Korean time? lol

It would suck if all the best players got to play eachother in the first couple rounds, why don't you consider making sure that the top players are in different brackets

Because arbitrary seeding is worse than random brackets.

TSL is Saturday, probably around noon. I guess I could drop by after, but the chances of that are probably zero. Sorry, I'll try to come to the next events if I can.

Yeah because if the groups are made up some players will complain that the groups are biased or unfair that they got grouped with certain opponents. At least with this method it's completely random and no one can complain about unfairness.
In the March tournament the Top 4 seeds will be split up and then something will be figured out for the rest of the players.
|
Aww man, I was really hoping that 1.2 was gonna be out for this
Oh well. Still super excited
|
So pumped for this even though I'm in a slump and I'm in plat. Should be fun anyways
Also, is Hurr.### and Durr.214 a joke? Cause I won't put Durr on the list until I know it's legit.
|
Nope, the guy just didn't know his friends character code but we're good to go now, 40 ppl and counting. 8 spots left
|
i'm curious as to why Jungle Basin isn't in the map pool, as it is a ladder map as well.
|
well i havent had time/computer ability to play any sc2 games this week. my objective is to get though the ro48, if i do that ill be happy. actually ill just be happy if i win a game ..that game is going to be against you though Steve! watch out fucker
BTW KORE I still have that too-small CJ Jacket, can i bring it for an exchange? Or just auction it off or something...
|
Hahah Lol @ auction. And Alex i really hope that we aren't in the same brackets T_T that would be a sad story.
|
I'm just waiting on your Oz order, I ordered an extra 100, 105, and 110 so that you can try all 3 on and pick the one that fits best. Jungle Basin is just a shit map in general lololol
|
lool keep the worst map in rts history ever made (delta quadrent) and take out jungle thats cool lool
|

Agreed. And jungle basin is the best wtfff
|
um so is that order likely to get here by the day after tomorrow? :/
I think itd be a sadder story if we both got knocked out before we could play eachother though! loll
and lol @ map arguments. everyone seems to like different maps and are shocked when people disagree with them. reminds me of python vs outsider... (personally i love python and hate outsider)
|
no arguments just humor lol, hopefully i get 1 veto or something lool
|
Well jungle basin is used in ladder. I believe its the only ladder map that is isn't used. Even GSL uses jungle basin so it kinda baffles me.
|
Is there some sort of livestream for this? My friend wants to watch but shes in Minnesota.
|
I think I just picked maps that were being used in the GSL and I never saw any games on Jungle Basin.
As far as the merchandise it won't arrive by tomorrow unfortunately, it would have if I didn't place such a big order but I underestimated how many people would still want OZ gear even after the sale that lilsusie had.
Last but not least there's only 3 spots left so I doubt anyone will get a veto and we'll be sticking to the originally planned schedule! ^^
|
they use both shakuras and jungle in all seasons it existed lol
|
Just had 3 people opt out due to weather conditions and the inability to get to Calgary, so there's exactly 3 spots left now.
|
|
|
Are we going to be able to get brackets for those not there or unable to watch?
|
Huuuuugggeee props to kOre for geting this done and putting on this tournament, was fun and enjoyable as always and congrats to Rebuke to yet another victory.

HA, they should've partied along with us, the roads were gross but made it home before 4am (almost a 5hr drive) and a total of just shy of 8hrs of driving to make this one.
Props to Kore for running a legit tourney and making the best of a less then perfect situation.
|
Just got home, it's death outside holy shit ... I'll be updating everything during the course of today and all results, replays, etc will go up.
|
Thanks for the great tourney kOre!
|
That tournament was so much fun. Good work kOre! Hope to see everyone at the next one. :D
|
Anyone who didn't show missed out! Got to see some old faces and meet cool new people like megakenny as well!
