The National eSports Event StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty 1v1 & 2v2 Tournament A Season 1.
The NE-SE organization has established a multitude of great features throughout the tournament and game web site for all players to enjoy. The NE-SE structure brings a real opportunity for all gamers to earn cash prizes competing in a StarCraft II tournament. With round by round cash prizes, finals competition in Las Vegas, a fully interactive web site Profile System, some of the largest prize pools in North America and more; we promise we are here for the betterment of eSports.
How it works
It is free to register for the website and get access to most of the site’s features, but to participate in the tournament there is a $20 Entry Fee for 1v1 and a $20 Entry Fee for 2v2 ($10 per player).
Upon registering for a tournament your name is entered into the pool of names with all other registered players. From there, 48 hours prior to game play starting on October 3rd, each player will be randomly funneled into one of the many NE-SE four person brackets. You will also receive an email at that time to inform you that the brackets have been uploaded and provide you with more information. If you beat your opponent in your bracket, you fill out a Winner’s Form and then you will be advanced onto the next stage of the bracket. If you defeat your next opponent you will have won that bracket and, by doing so, won the round.
Each player will have one week to complete both games in the round, if you win the first match of the round. Every round will start on Monday and end on Sunday, providing players with ample time to complete all matches casually. This also allows the NE-SE to be more involved with the community and specific/adaptable to every situation. Each tournament has six rounds, seven weeks of total game play, a one week break before the next tournament begins and there are four tournaments per NE-SE Season.
Round 1 :: $20
Round 2 :: $40
Round 3 :: $80
Round 4 :: $160
Round 5 :: $320
Round 6 :: $640
Total Prizes :: $1,260
Each Round in the NE-SE has a cash prize amount attached to it starting at $20 and doubling every round thereafter for 6 rounds. Once you have won a round, that prize is your claim even if you are eliminated in a future round. In Round 6, the tournament converts to a Round Robin format called the Final Fifty. In this round players will go head to head for two weeks in scheduled matches which will be displayed in a “delayed” live stream. The top four players or teams with the best records will win the round and as a result, win that tournament.
Total prizes to a tournament winner are:
• $1,200+ in cash prizes accumulated throughout all the rounds.
• Unlock the “Upload Picture” capability in your NE-SE Profile.
• A plus two guest list for an all-expense paid trip to Las Vegas to compete in Finals.
• NE-SE Finals :: 1st Place- $30,000 2nd Place- $15,000 3rd Place- $7,500.
• Unlock the “Upload Picture” capability in your NE-SE Profile.
• A plus two guest list for an all-expense paid trip to Las Vegas to compete in Finals.
• NE-SE Finals :: 1st Place- $30,000 2nd Place- $15,000 3rd Place- $7,500.
As it stands right now each game up until the Final Fifty round of the tournament will be Single Elimination. We are still looking for more feedback regarding the style of the early rounds to determine a final decision by October 1st, 2011.
