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.

Hmmm, i dont want to drive all the way to sydney to hear is not worth it.

There's no details about how much of the the $20k prizes is real cash also.
|
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

they've updated map pool : Scrap Station Xel'Naga Caverns Backwater Gulch Delta Quadrant Metalopotis Slag Pits The Shattered Temple Typh on Peaks
and as Admin said. Players can use our own keyboard onsite.

Wow they removed 4v4. I'm guessing hardly no1 signed up then.
I wonder how many they have for 1v1.
|
are you kidding? 4v4 was the bomb. All the noobies and the ladies wanted to take part in this. (lets face, not everyone is a pro master star)
sad day for starcraft sydney T_T very sad
|
Well, i guess i wont be on cheekyducks team, but ill be there this weekend for the 1v1s! driving up tonight.

There were a few Master 1v1 players training 4v4 as well

Some people getting confused with what day it is..... Its sunday.
|
|
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?

Sweet, thanks for that. It looks better than my set-up: + Show Spoiler +

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)

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?
