Yeah i haven't heard back either, starting to worry me. This is easily the second biggest thing (next to the maps) that needs changing if this tournament wants to be taken seriously.

But we do know 1st place cash prizes add up to $13,000 and top3 in the 1v1 get cash so it's a reasonable amount.

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

It seems they've updated the tournament to be 1v1 only (prize pool $20k).
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

Wow they removed 4v4. I'm guessing hardly no1 signed up then.

I wonder how many they have for 1v1.

with 25k in the prize pool, I would hype this up a bit more....just saying but yea that's quite odd that a gamer can't use their own keyboard...would upset majority of the pro gamers

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.

Has anyone looked at the format for this tournament? It can be found here
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?

True, they could of kept 4v4 and just lowered the prize pool at the very least.

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?

Razer is going to be supplying the gaming peripherals (mouse, keyboard, etc.) on the day of the LAN apparently.

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

Bleh @ the map pool. Although I'm glad they're listen to feedback it's still no better than it was. Anyone else (See: Zergs) talking to them about this?
