My cast had ~16,000 unique viewers (16000 people who potentially heard plugs) ;D
You should try to collaborate with the Project X guys!

It would be really cool if there was an Edmonton qualifier tournament, a Calgary qualifier tournament, and top 8 from each made it into a ro16 bracket bo3 double elimination tournament?

sounds pretty epic
what about a 5 vs 5 edmonton vs calgary?
|
Because everyone would already know the results Edmonton 5-0 Calgary.
But in all seriousness that would be a great idea for the top 4/8 from each tournament and do an Alberta championships single or double elim top 16/8 champion ships. The turnouts for both tourneys would probably so much higher if they seeded the Alberta Regional Championship.
Link to project X's thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=206919
I think a good idea for regionals would be:
Top 6 from Complete Finish and ProjectX are seeded away from each other in a 16 man bracket
The day before we hold an open Regionals grinder 1v1 single/double elim (entry fee goes to regional prizes) the top four seats get the remaining seats in the regionals.
Then with the best 16 player in alberta we have a double or single elim tourney winner is the best player in alberta.

Pshhh Edmonton can't 5-0 Calgary, are you kidding me? We have so many secret weapons we'd destroy you Edmontanians MUAHAHAHA
|
Ughhh we have to wait another month for this tournament XD
|
Gofarman and I had a good talk about over saturation of tourneys. Like what happened in Calgary, where there was too many tourneys so the base player population wouldn't show up and only the higher tier players would show because the lower tier or tourney base was fulfilled with about one tourney a month. But in Calgary TOs got over eager and flooded the scene with up to 3 a mo which caused the amount of players who would show up un reliable tourney to tourney which is REALLY bad for sponsors. So we agreed for now, no more than one a month.

So put together a Calgary team, we'll get our Edmonton team of like 3-5 players and we'll play with money on the line!

That would be sick even if it was completely independent, I would for sure put up a stream for that.
Hell, I might even put some of my own money down for the winner. Clonze and kOre why don't you guys PM me and maybe we can setup something, even if it's only online.

Hm. I am actually going to call that one in favor of Edmonton. Sorry, but that is why I drive up there for the competitions... Their top 5 are pretty scary. Calgarys top 2 are moderately frightening. Like Paranormal Activity 2.

Ya Testbug would a nice map in the pool it is really fun to play on.
|
cool i think ill show up for this

....you guys dont ever like.. talk to ME =(
but then again I do agree with 1 month apart from each other for tournaments......
='(

I don't think it would be that bad to have two tourneys a month..but you would almost need one to be sponsored to ensure a good turnout. Calgary vs edmonton would be closer than people
think as well. Though whether I'm saying that to try and make more money or because I actually believe it is for you to decide

It's nice to see another event spring up in Canada, great work putting the tournament together and I wish all the players best of luck!

I would really like to see it happen, I am thinking of opening a thread about just such a thing. (Edmonoton vs Calgary) I just don't know much about the Calgary scene.
For edmonton it would probably be, in no particular order:
Clonze, Archaic, Visual, Laglovah, Sinatra
As for Calgary I would need a list of players.
And if Shiro wants to sponsor it I would plug him on the stream like there's no tomorrow to try and build hype for your may tourney :D
EDIT:
Also Shiro, is it Complete Finish or Complete Finis?

Yeah sorry actually I don't think I'll be going to this one. There's something else planned sc2-wise that's much closer to my house and I think I'll be going to that one instead =) Thanks anyways though, gl in hosting it!
