Final thing, did I read correctly when it said that the final 50 players of every event would have to play in a round fucking robin? That means you would have to play 49 players in 2 weeks? So best case scenario would be 3 to 4 matches per player a day. And hopefully you would make it at least a bo3 which is a huge investment time wise for an amateur player.
It'd be 49(49+1)/2=1225 matches. If they're bo3, then that'd be between 2450 and 3675 games. Assuming everyone's got a 50% chance to win every game, it'd be an average of 218.75 games per day... unless it's largely self-run in a similar way to the TL Open, it seems rather lofty.

It's probably 50/50 at the moment. Half the people are waiting for the announcement and the other half already have their minds made up. I personally am waiting for the announcement and the video he intends to post introducing himself.

And what about the video you've said you would do, presenting yourself and your organisation?
Not only are we putting that video together, we are also working on another video as well. The public has clearly displayed their open disapproval of the trailer we put together for the coming soon page so we are working towards a new video. We were short-minded in our publishing of the first trailer and Team Liquid announcement and we promise not to make this mistake ever again. We are putting a good deal of time and effort into the production of these videos and we hope these will earn your approvals. I do not have an exact date I can provide you with regarding the publication of these videos because we have incorporated some third party involvement. I can, however, promise these videos will be published before the end of August.
You have to remember, as a business, we currently are sponsoring a qualifier event with Z33K.com, an invitational event with ItsGoSu eSports and a qualifier event with ItsGoSu eSports. We also are making large additions to the NeSE event based on feedback such as: loser's brackets for every round, monthly tournament concept competitions, Team PerfeXion a sponsored team all players can sign up for which includes a full web site with many features, and a complete re-designing of the NeSE Main web site because of the issues we are having with showing we plan to incorporate more games in the future. Most importantly, we are putting an extended amount of time and effort into everything to ensure all items we publish are of the utmost quality.
As time continues to go by we will continue to respond to the community and avert our attention to the areas You deem necessary. Again, not to be redundant, but we really do appreciate all of your feedback because we can only evolve based on that feedback.

It was the pretty obvious answer.

Well they paid out to those other tournaments, and the website/profile system obviously took a lot of work. idk how many of you did the guest registration, but its very well put together. I don't see anything to lose by registering as a guest until the Blizzard announcement shows up.
|
Lol okay person with two posts.
|
I have the best reason why this is for sure not legit:
Blizzard requires that any tournament that has a prize pool over $5000 gives 50% to Blizzard. If this tournament does what it says it will, I can see the total prize pool way past $5000

...And if I remember correctly sixjaxDDE won that $250 z33k nese tournament, has he even received his money yet?...

DDE was paid in full the day he won that event.

So either ItsGosu is in on this or they were used. I'm sure that 250 dollars was made back tenfold or more in sign ups.

tbh I don't know if they really made the money back. I mean this "tournament" seems so shady exactly how many people would be willing to pay to sign up for it?
Even if it wasn't a scam and blizzard announced it the math has already been done. It's a typical money making scheme that grants huge profit margins to the organizer but only if a large amount of people sign up which I don't think will happen.

So yeah...where's the Blizz announcement?
|
IT'S A FAKE! LOOK HIS COWBOY HAT COMES RIGHT OFF!
|
This will be very annoying if its fake. I was excited for a big 2v2 tourney.
|
Damn this would have been a great excuse to go to las vegas

No announcement yet and it's been over a day. Care to explain?

Mr. NeSe was very confident and chatty, posting very frequently in the days leading up. Aug rolls round and he is solemnly silent. We can still hope.
