Also for everyone else a little disgruntled don't forget there is redflag lan in a month which just got a new larger venue and will definitely have a seat for you if you sign up soon. They even moved the sc2 tournament to a better timeslot at 1pm http://rflan.org/schedule/rflan-35-schedule.html | ||

But on that note they'd have to get a bigger venue, or just organise it so it works out. It would have to be longer too. We need more events like RFLan. Shame I didn't get a spot, didn't turn up early enough I suppose  | ||

Oh wow I never thought you would get more than 50 people. Damn, wish I could have gone but I had to go to a wedding earlier today. | ||

Otherwise, the single elimination losers bracket was a little weird (I know it was done for time, it's just preferable to have at least a Bo3). Finally, players should have been seeded, at least according to division. A lot of the better players in the tournament played each other round one, which reduces the chance a very enjoyable and tense finals series. See Tennis for example... Otherwise, a pretty good deal for the first event, had a few games, did alright seeing as I haven't properly played since early January. | ||

Lots of technical issues but all learned lessons from the future. And I learnt that terran vs terran is a BITCH when you're nervous. Hope to come to the next tournament and play with a bit more stability! Grats to whoever won, I didn't get to stay around although I'm sure it would've been a cool final. Also: Add me on RealID, josten_myburgh@hotmail.com. Was great to meet some of you guys at the tournament and I definitely didnt get the character codes of everyone I wanted character codes from, so make sure you contact me :D | ||

 I'd like to start by thanking all of those who turned up, ESPECIALLY those who didn't get a place. I'm very, very sorry I couldn't slot you in, bumping up the amount of players to 36 was a real stretch but I found it extremely hard to tell 20+ people just to leave and come again next time. As an avid gamer, and someone who wants the community to thrive it really affected me personally. By 1pm, I was running on 5 hours sleep with no breakfast, no lunch, no breaks, and a can of mother graciously brought to me by one of my amazing co hosts, Buff. I also would like to thank my dear friend Trav, for running the brackets and whipping people into their matches. With the thanks out of the way, I'd like to take an aside and mention that the people running the venue were HORRIBLE. I turned up at 7:30am to help them set their shit up, and they still managed to fuck it up and cause the massive lag problem that plagued the first hour and a half due to them turning on their switches in the wrong order... Basically they have a single copy of starcraft running off of a 7200 rpm HDD which then streams out ALL of the game data to the computers on a line that's also shared with the internet. Also did i mention that line, which effectively is meant to replace a SATA2 connection on your mobo, is a 100/10 mb switch which runs 36 PCs on ultra settings? Well i did now. The manual graphics change on each machine was also not necessary. I'm actually quite tired of this rant so I'm going to tl;dr it and end on a happier note. The systems admin FORGOT he had a registry file with the settings for each game on it, notifying me 2:30 hours into the tourney. They bumped the price up without telling me. Gave no reimbursement for the time i spent helping them set up early, and the 1:30 hour delays. Never, ever, going to touch that place again. I recommend you stay far away and tell your friends likewise. But, apart from wanting to puke for most of the day and arguing with management this was a great learning experience for me and from what i gathered people had a great time (especially the winner who walked away with a cool $200 ^^). Going to apologise for the single match losers bracket but adding more people + time constraints and major stress made me settle for that. For the next tournament, that will, DEFINATELY be occuring i will explore all options and venues to make sure those who want to play will be able to attend and play in a great environment. It will NOT be at citypoint. This was made possible by you, the community, and I'd like to congratulate you all for showing your support in what will be the start of something awesome in our sleepy little town. | ||

At least we've all learned a few lessons and it will start the ball rolling for everything. | ||

All the people who didn't manage to get a spot, I feel for you but take solace in the fact this means the potential for future larger scale tournaments is prominent. As Grief said the place running it was shit and he did the best he could with what he had to work with. More entrants would've been unreasonable given the time constraints put on us and the conditions. Without sounding like a pretentious faggot I am aware how tournaments and bracket numbers work, I realise Bo1 for losers isn't fun and seeding is preferred but it was very hectic today as it was. please try to keep in mind this was the first tournament and that means there's always going to be a great room for improvement, Griefer did an amazing job given the circumstances and this was his first tournament. A huge thanks to him is in order for doing all he's done today and leading up to it to try and plant the seed of what promises to be a bright SC2 future for lil ol' Perth. I don't even play the game and I find it exciting. Another big thanks for everyone who came and were patient with us while we were sorting shit out and for listening to me and Grief when we barked orders at them, It's not fun to stand around outside on a hot day I know, but you guys (for the most part :p) were real good sports about it and didn't give us much trouble <3 I've got the bracket image here on my lappy, I've got to give it to Griefer and let him decode the thing because it's all using your assigned numbers, for now though I'll ove you the results (again only with your assigned number, so if you don't remember it just hold out :p) 1: 35 2: 8 3: 19 4: 11 5: 30 5: 7 7: 5 7: 20 9: 13 9: 28 9: 24 9: 10 13: 9 13: 12 13: 3 13: 2 17: 17 17: 6 17: 27 17: 34 17: 25 17: 22 17: 32 17: 26 25: 29 25: 36 25: 15 25: 4 25: 16 25: 18 25: 14 25: 33 33: 1 33: 23 33: 31 33: 21 | ||
