This is easily the second biggest thing (next to the maps) that needs changing if this tournament wants to be taken seriously. | ||

Thats an AMAZING prizepool for 1s for any tournament. The advertising, qualifiers, and general organisation of this tournament is extremely poor however... kind of sad that you didn't have a bigger input on this | ||

Also, the map pool has been updated: Scrap Station Xel'Naga Caverns Backwater Gulch Delta Quadrant Metalopotis Slag Pits The Shattered Temple Typh on Peaks [sic] Players still expected to use keyboards onsite though. I bought a ratty $10 keyboard the other day to practice on, so hopefully their ones are nicer if I end up trying out :D http://www.nrghardcoregamer.com.au/ http://www.nrghardcoregamer.com.au/assets/NRG Hardcore Gamer Rules Regulations.pdf | ||

http://www.nrghardcoregamer.com.au/assets/NRG Hardcore Gamer Qualifier Information.pdf It is ridiculous, it's literally better to place 4th in your group as you get basically a free first 2 rounds in the final tournament, and the 1st/2nd place players even play off against each other first so they all get knocked out earlier. This definitely must be fixed. I've signed up of course because this prize pool is insane lol. Edit: Anyone that is contacting them think they could ask them about this? | ||

It looks better than my set-up: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/Ug5fR.jpg) On March 18 2011 15:24 zor.au wrote: They say they invited international teams but run a tournament with very little detail and 3 weeks prior notice? It really is some bad marketing and organization, this type of tournament is huge for the Australian scene, not just for sc2 but gaming as a whole. It would be great if they rescheduled it for a later date ^-^, but I don't see that happening :\ Maybe a distinguished Australian esports scene is still a pipedream, for now. Also, anyone else notice this? + Show Spoiler + 3. Registration fee will not be refunded 4. If Players want to unregister the event, they must give a minimum of 3 days notice before the tournament. If Players have paid the registration fee, it will be refunded after the tournament. 5. Registration fee will be $15. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/sVXfI.png) | ||

Edit: I believe that you are now allowed to use your own keyboard, mice, etc. for the event. However, there will also be the option of using brand new Razer equipment that will be provided on-site if you choose to do so. Source | ||
