Additional Rules & Information
+ Show Spoiler +Maps ================ •All matches must be started on the map listed on the player bracket above the current round being played. •In a 'best of X' series, the loser chooses the next map to play from the map pool. + Show Spoiler +NA Map Pool: + Show Spoiler +MLG Xel’Naga Caverns, MLG Metalopolis, MLG Shakuras Plateau, MLG Shattered Temple, GSL Crevasse (Official), GSL Tal’Darim Altar LE (by BalphEubank), GSL Xel’Naga Fortress (Official), GSL Terminus RE, GSL Dual Sight (by MildCocoA), GSL Daybreak (by Ayaka) EU Map Pool: + Show Spoiler +MLG Xel’Naga Caverns, MLG Metalopolis, ESL Shakuras Plateau, MLG Shattered Temple, MLG Tal'Darim Altar, GSL Crevasse (Official), GSL Xel’Naga Fortress, GSL Dual Sight, GSL Daybreak (Official) •All maps played on must be the exact name shown, letter for letter, no exceptions. •If your opponent hosted on the incorrect map it's your responsibility to leave the game at once and contact an admin. Failure to do so may result in the game being counted even though it's not the correct map. •Each map in the pool may be played once per series. Maps may not be vetoed by either player. No-Shows ================ •All players should make an effort to be in one of the Playhem sc2 channels (Playhem, Playhem2..) when they are participating in a tournament, however this is not mandatory. •Should your opponent be missing, you must attempt to add them to your friends list by the character code on the bracket and message them, if they are unresponsive or offline you may contact an admin according to the following: •If your opponent is offline/unresponsive for 15 minutes after the start of the tournament OR 10 minutes after you were due to face them in any later round after the tournament began you may report a no-show to a tournament admin and be advanced. •Reporting false no-shows in an attempt to get a free win, or not taking the appropriate measures listed above may result in disqualification from the tournament. •Some exceptions may be made for players that are forced to delay their games and ask for an extension before hand so long as it's within a reasonable time frame, players should try their best to accommodate the other person if possible. Observers & Casters ================ •All Playhem Admins and official streamers MUST be permitted into your game if they request it, failure to comply with official streamers and admins of playhem may result in immediate forfeit. •If you are unsure if a caster is an official member of Playhem, you should contact an admin to ask at once. Official casters will generally be accompanied by the account "PlayhemTV". •Observers are permitted in games as long as you have the consent from both players in the game. •A player may ask an observer to leave the game at any time for any reason (suspicion of cheating, lag, etc). •If a game is started with an observer that you did not want to permit in the game, you should leave the game immediately at the start and ask for a regame. •Failure to remove an observer from a lobby when another player requests it may constitute a technical no-show as the other player may refuse to play the game. •In the event that you permit a non-official caster or observer into your game, you do so at your own risk and waive any right to dispute the game outcome due to stream/observer cheating. Smurfing & Leagues ================ •If an admin determines that you own an account that is of a higher league than the tournament you are playing in, or that you were previously in a higher league, you may be immediately forfeited from the tournament and/or banned from the site. •If you are consistently winning a low league tournament, or haven't been promoted due to Starcraft II's MMR system, you may be asked to not play in any further tournaments until you are promoted to the next highest league bracket. •An exception to this is the Open tournament, players of any league may participate and use any account regardless of their main account's ranking. •In the event that you suspect your opponent to be a smurf, you can report your opponent to an admin after playing all the games of your series (unless there is substantial and obvious evidence). •If an admin disagrees with your report, we ask that you respect the decision and accept it as a loss. We will do our best to catch any and all smurfs but we stand by "innocent until proven guilty" and go to great lengths to not ban innocent players, even if they are suspicious. Please keep in mind that in a tournament, there are bound to be players that are simply better than you. •In the event that you are playing on a secondary or new account, an admin may ask you to provide a profile link to your main account for review. Failure to comply may result in disqualification if you are under suspect of smurfing. Disconnects ================ •Disconnects in most cases will count as an immediate loss within the criteria outlined below: •If the disconnect happened in the first 4 minutes of the game and no contact between the two players has been made (scouting, cheese, etc) then the game should be replayed. Once a player has scouted their opponent, disconnects will count as a loss. -Scouting constitutes vision of any portion of the opponents base/units/structures/spawning location. In the event of one player being random, indication of their race also counts as being scouted. •If it's obvious that your victory was imminent and definitive before the disconnect happened (ie. you were finishing off his base and he had no army left), contact an admin immediately and a decision will be made on a case-by-case basis. •The player who did not disconnect may offer a rematch after any disconnect at their own discretion, this is NOT mandatory and entirely up to the player to decide. •If a disconnected player does not return to battle.net within 5 minutes, you may report him to an admin as a no-show and get a walk-over for the remaining game(s) of the series if applicable. Misc ================ •In the event of a stalemate game / tie, the game will not count as a win for either player and should be replayed on the same map. Disclaimer: Any admin can overturn or supersede these rules at our sole discretion, this will typically not be done except for extraordinary circumstances. If you disagree with any admin's ruling you may politely argue your case and ask it to be reviewed by another admin. These rules may be changed/updated at any time without notice, check back frequently to stay up to date on current rules. Last update: October 14, 2011
If you have any questions feel free to post in this thread, hop in channel Playhem, or message Ben or myself in game @ Ben.477 and cvgNeeb.476 on NA. You can also find additional information in our original TL thread. Thanks and I look forward to seeing you guys in upcoming events!

Wait... from what I'm understanding (looking at just Master's tournaments)
You went from 5x $30 + 1x $100 to now just 1x $50 + 1x $100? What happened to daily tournaments

You have to also factor in Stim.TV's tournaments though because we're now partnered with them and sponsoring their prize pools. So the Master's tournaments for example have gone from 5x $30 + 1x $100 ($250) to 1x $50 + 1x $100 + 1x $100-$150 ($250-$300).
We still have tournaments 7 days a week, we've just changed the schedule to have larger tournaments with bigger prize pools for each league group a few times a week instead of having smaller daily tournaments.

will the bonus point tournies keep going on? i actually prefer those, because on the masters/gm one i always get stomped 
|
I'm new to this so I'm confused how the point systems work. We have to buy into a tourney using points? Besides the starting amount of points a new account gets, how do we get more points? Also, are the prizes for top 3 finishes rewarded in points or money?
I tried looking around the website but couldn't find much info on this.
|
Its a bit unfair to put Masters with GM into same tournament. What would be fair, in my opinion, is to have Masters with Diamond where skill gap is not as big as between Masters and GM. That's just my opinion though

Yeah it's kind of confusing right now, we're in the process of making better FAQs on the site and things like that. If you check out our original TL thread here there's a whole section on points. It's pretty easy to get more but if you do run out, just let me know and I'll give you more it isn't a problem, points are completely free. And all "cash prizes" are in fact cash prizes lol, they are not paid out in points. The reason the tournaments are point buy-ins and show points in the prize pool is so that they're free to enter, instead of having any kind of cash buy-in.

To be honest man, there really isn't a perfect way to do it. If I did what you're suggesting, we would have the problem of Diamonds feeling that they have no chance at winning, and also have a hard time getting enough players for a GM only tournament. We're trying to come up with a better way to divide the leagues to give everyone a fair chance at winning, but right now I think the way we have it is the best it can really be done for now.

No... actually the total weekly prize pool for masters dropped from $260 to $250. ASCWeekly used to have $10 tournies on Thursdays, now it's up to $100. I don't know where you get $100-$150 from. So we went from
(5 x $30) + (1 x $100) + (1 x $10) = $260
to
(1 x $50) + (1 x $100) + (1 x $100) = $250
Partnerships are great, but I feel like you're moving in 2 wrong directions. First, I loved the daily tournaments, I'd much rather have the small daily ones than bigger once a week ones. The daily tournies are what set you guys apart, now you're just going to be like any other weekly or semi-weekly cup. The second is the fact that you're catering more and more to lower leagues, and offering them pretty ridiculous prize pools. I understand that you want to give incentives and attract lower level players, but these incentives do not need to be this big. You're pretty much just rewarding bad players now.

I think it's unfortunate that you're looking at this in a negative way man. I understand that some players, like yourself, would prefer daily tournaments, but I don't think it's fair to say that now we're just rewarding bad players. Nothing is permanent right now; our schedule and prize distribution are always going to be dynamic and in fact we do plan to try it different ways and see what works best. If a lot of players are saying the same thing, that they'd rather have smaller dailies than larger semi-weeklies, that's how we'll do them. You can give feedback without being so quick to go into bash mode man. See:

I apologize if I sounded harsh, I didn't mean to bash you guys. I love both playhem and ASCweekly, and have enjoyed playing in your tournaments for the past few weeks. They were all very well run and I was impressed by the admin/support from both sites.
But I'm just being honest in my criticism, feedback, and suggestions here. Your advertisement of an "increased prize pool" is very misleading, because as I said before, your total prize pool for masters level has actually decreased. Instead, all of the additional prizes went towards lower leagues. How is it not fair to say that you're rewarding bad players now?
And I really hope you reconsider daily tournaments. I'm sure if you asked around many players share a similar sentiment. There are tons of other weekly $50-$100 tournaments out there, so again like I said earlier now you're no longer special. And one reason why daily tournaments are awesome is that those $100 tournaments tend to attract many good players, so the players who are on a level just below them don't really have a chance to win anything, whereas a smaller daily tournament gives those players a much better and frequent chance at winning something.

Well I do appreciate you giving us your thoughts, it's really the community's feedback that helps us make decisions on things like scheduling and prize distribution. Like I said before, we're always going to be dynamic and things definitely will change in the near future based on feedback and results.

I added a poll to the bottom of the first post. Let us know which kind of tournament schedule you guys would prefer =)
|
|
|
smaller daily's are the best! ^^

I like all schedule choices. As long as i get to play a few times a week I'm happy.

im cofused on how we sign up for this event and other playhem events. and help?

Thanks guys!

Once you create a Playhem account and add starcraft2 under Manage Games with your profile url and character code, you're ready to play. You can challenge players on the head to head page or join and create tournaments on the tournament page.
Congrats to yesterday's winners! I added a Previous Winners spoiler to the first post of this thread.
Tonight's $100 Master/GM Tournament still has a lot of slots so if anyone isn't signed up yet and would like to play, make sure you get in there =D
|
Congrats to RGNPerfect for winning the $100 Master/Grandmaster tournament today! Make sure you guys vote on the poll in the bottom of the first post =)
I also wanted to address something else from tonight. CombatEX and Deezer were both banned and the situation was handled poorly on my part. I had originally decided to let them play because I wanted to give them a chance in our tournaments despite having bad reputations, but as the tournament progressed I realized it was a bad idea. CombatEX had actually went out in the first round but Deezer was in the semi-final when his opponent told me that he was saying some very obnoxious/unreasonable bm stuff to him. That combined with the fact that no player would agree to let us cast their games vs Deezer due to his reputation of stream cheating made my decision to ban him final.
I know some people seemed a little bit upset either by the end result or by how I handled it and I apologize if you were one of them. I'm just much more comfortable with banning 1 or 2 guys that are known for stream cheating and being extremely bm than I am letting them participate and having a mass of users not wanting to play in our tournaments because of them. That being said though, it could have been handled better and hopefully if anything similar does happen in the future, it will be handled better.
|
i fully support your decision neeb! the difference between playhem and most of the tournies around is that you guys in the staff really think about the players, doing tournies for lower leagues and stuff like that. its pretty clear that people with such reputation won't attract anything but bad stuff for the site!
|
Playhem is just awesome. They sponsored a BO7 show match between CatZ and DDE with a $100 prize pool. http://www.youtube.com/user/StimTV#p/u/3/Eiz_YUCJE9c is the first game between them
Getting points for playing your favorite game? And maybe getting paid for it? What else could you ask for (well besides just giving you money for not doing anything)?
|
Deezer was in the semi-final when his opponent told me that he was saying some very obnoxious/unreasonable bm stuff to him. That combined with the fact that no player would agree to let us cast their games vs Deezer due to his reputation of stream cheating made my decision to ban him final.
Ok I'll tell you what really happened,
I never did talkshit skew even thought GGLASTSHADOW was playing on his account, I just said he should get DQ'd for it. After the game I watched 3 replays of lastshadow, was the same exact build order and the same hotkeys. I tried to contact an admin about it and he never answered, and he told me I was banned without giving me a reason.
I wasted 2 hours for this tournament to just get banned and I did nothing wrong.
Also I do not stream cheat, I only snipe, it is completely different.
|
Deezer is known for stream sniping not stream cheating. If you're going to make a judgement call make sure you know your shit first.

At the end of the day, I'm always going to stand by my decision. Like I said, I would much rather ban 1 person to keep the integrity of our tournaments than let them play and have many users lose interest. It was mishandled on my part and I do apologize for that but I'm really not sure what else I can say about it.

Playhem is becoming one of my favorite tournaments. Small dailys during the week when there is often nothing else, full blown cups on the weekends and an awesome reporting system. keep up the good work.

It seems like most players prefer daily tournaments so unless there's a significant change to the poll results in the next few days, that's what we'll be going with starting next week.
At the bottom of the first post there's a new poll for which prize distribution type you guys think is best. Let us know and we'll make it happen =D

Lol fail double post, oops xD

I've never understand the rationale in rewarding players for being bad at something. That's all that tournaments do that are exclusive to certain leagues. What's the point in giving some gold player prize money when that plat player probably would have won, but was restricted due to the fact he's in plat? Why do we even want to encourage lower leaguers to play in tournies? I simply don't understand, I wouldn't mind having it explained. Is it for website hits, or..?

Well by that logic I should only be running Grandmaster tournaments and 99% or so of players wouldn't be able to compete. I strongly disagree that our tournaments are "rewarding players for being bad at something." Everyone is naturally better or worse at something (including video games) and each individual naturally has more or less time to spend on something, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be able to play in a competitive tournament in my opinion.
If we were hosting $100 tournaments for lower leagues or something, I would better understand your concern, but we're not. The prize money we're offering the lower leagues is far from being anything significant and in my opinion only there to increase the competitiveness of the tournaments. I myself used to love playing in similar tournaments when I played at a lower level and seeing the larger prizes for the higher leagues definitely increased my motivation to get better.

You wouldn't have to be running GM only tournaments, you'd be running tournaments where anyone whatsoever could enter.

No, by his logic you should be running tournaments with no skill cap so that 100% of players can participate. Sure, anyone below masters has no chance of winning, but they can still play. When a low masters player has no chance of winning, but a diamond who is much less skilled than the master's player does, that is "rewarding players for being bad." I don't know how you can call it anything else. This doesn't mean though that a lesser skilled player cannot play in a competitive setting though - a competitive tournament does not necessarily have to have a prize, and having a good chance to win is not a necessary requirement for playing in a competitive tournament.
I beg to differ that the prize money you're offering for lower leagues is far from anything significant. Sure $5 or $10 is not a lot and no one is really playing it for the money, but currently over 50% of the prize pool is devoted to sub-masters league players. That's pretty significant, the fact that more than half your prize money is given to bad players. An incentive is nice, but it would be better for the lower leagues if it was limited to something like free coaching or subscriptions to coaching sites. Isn't it the same thing when you're playing in a lower league and you get motivated by the fact that higher leagues have a prize pool versus none at all?
I honestly am just happy that you guys are providing these awesome tournaments and don't care that much how you're distributing prizes, but FabledIntegral does have a point.

Which is how it should be. As Anihc put it, you're essentially doing things like punishing the low masters and rewarding the high Diamond. It's not fair whatsoever. And honestly, it makes absolutely no sense to me why a Gold player should ever receive any prize money whatsoever in a tournament. It's someone who clearly doesn't take it as seriously and hasn't put in as much time as the masters/GM player. Wouldn't a masters player who's clearly devoted more time at improving at the game be much more worthy of prize money?
I believe Anihc pretty much said everything else I wanted to say though. And it IS cool that you're throwing tournaments in general. I just think a little bit less of them because of how you do them (I don't mean this in a bashing way), but it's for sure better than nothing.
It's not a huge deal, it's just my reasoning.

I'm very sorry you feel that way but I strongly disagree. To say that a Bronze-Diamond player is getting the same competitive experience in a tournament that's also open to Masters and Grandmasters is simply illogical in my opinion. Sure, they can play in a tournament and go out first round or shortly thereafter if they get a lucky bracket in an unseeded tournament, but they're playing from the very beginning expecting to lose early and with the mindset of "I'll just do my best!"
The reality is that the vast majority of tournaments are currently organized in a one size fits all nature and we did not want to have that feeling in ours. How many boxing tournaments are open to all weight classes rather than being split up by division? It doesn't make any sense to have light weights competing against heavy weights and Starcraft2 is no different.

If the prize money that a high diamond could win was equal or close to equal as what a Master or Grandmaster could win then I would agree, but it isn't. I do agree though that right now it is hard for an average Master to win anything and we do intend on changing that structure in the near future but right now there isn't an easy and/or better way to do it.

There is absolutely no reason a Bronze-Diamond player should be getting the same competitive experience as a Master-GM player, so I don't see your point. If they are, something is seriously wrong.
The prize money a low master can achieve at the moment is pretty much zero and is clearly less than what a high Diamond could consequently achieve, regardless of what tournament they enter, because of people who host segregated league tournies.
Boxing being segregated by weight class isn't a similar scenario - lightweights aren't necessarily worse at boxing in terms of skill, they are limited, physically. A gold player isn't limited by anything except for his determination to be good at the game. There's a reason they're in gold. And for boxing, players specifically strive to lose weight to be in a certain class and to be at the top of that class. No one strives to be worse at Starcraft.
All you're doing is rewarding people that don't take the game seriously and are punishing players that do take the game seriously, as well as those who are actually trying to make a livelihood from it. It's a good thing when prize money goes to those who are putting the most effort in as well as those as they see returns for their effort. It's a bad thing when those that put effort in see those not putting effort in getting money when they can't.

How about for fun? I think that's a pretty good reason. If you really think it's so terrible then this entire board is filled with plenty of other tournaments that don't cater to lower league players. Hopefully you can find something more to your liking among those.

Erm, what? Sure, you can compete just "for fun" but then you're not in a super competitive environment such as GMs who might be competing for thousands of dollars. There should never be a situation where a gold person feels a ton is on the line for a win. By no means are these tournaments giving this feeling, I was just responding to his comment.

lol. I never said you'd have to cater to professional players, professional players wouldn't enter with those prize pools anyways. All I was saying was I think it's silly to reward players who don't give a shit about the game, and to punish players who take the time to invest in it. That's exactly what you're doing. And there's no low-mid level masters professional players. In fact, there aren't very many high level masters professional players. And to continue, being part of a team and still getting NO pay means you're still not doing it as a profession. There are so many talented players that don't make shit, I just think it's sad people decide to dedicate prize pools to players that have zero investment in the game.

And like I said earlier, it's definitely better imo than not having anything at all!

Tournament system is awesome. its great to have a tournament every day. only thing that sucks is 1 player (SixJaxDDE) enters every goddamn tournament so most people never get a chance to win =*(

Tournaments are great. It even gives the lower rank gamers a feeling of what it feels to be in a tournament. Tournaments are very well executed and there's always an admin to help you if you encounter a problem. It's free, you can win money and prizes. Give it a try!

These tournaments are a lot of fun! It allows the lower leagues to still feel like they're competing competitively! I'll be signing up numerous times a week from here on out!

Well.. I have been on this site for a while and I do agree that it is kinda weird that if I was slightly worst making me high diamond rather than master I would be winning more tournaments lol..
Although I haven't won any money tournaments I have won some bonus point tournaments which is pretty nice still lol. I have a good amount of points now and waiting for SC2 to be put up on the point auction again to see if I can get one so I can offrace on it. It is also pretty fun just competing in the money tournaments even though I don't have much of a chance because.. just competing with people who play tournaments is more fun than playing on ladder. Its the same thing as people playing in bigger tournaments in other places that they have no chance at winning because pros will beat them (TL open for example).. but the experience is still pretty fun. Like.. without this site I wouldnt have played dde 3+ times and hwangsin 2 times.
The other thing I like about the site though is the head to head system where you can bet points against other players.. I am always looking for people to custom against and since there is an incentive to playing head to heads its even better lol.. Without the head to head system I would still be playing customs vs people.. so I get to play people + get points to get things.

How am I supposed to check the results of a tournament? After a tournament is done, the bracket isn't accessible anymore. Why?
Also for the IPL3 bracket, there are no scores, it just shows the player who advanced. How can I know if a match was a walkover or not?
|
The $1000 dollar open got cancelled and is being rescheduled.. that's why the bracket is no longer available.. there are no results to see from that.
As far as the qualifier the scores were not posted because of the wishes of the IPL. (Heck the match results weren't even visible for several days after the tourney)
As far as I know anyway.. I'm not an official playhem spokesperson but that's what I understand of the situation.
|
My question was about the daily tournaments too. For example I can't check who won the 30$ Master-Grandmaster cups in past.
|
Awesome. I enjoy tournaments so much, especially when there's a price pool there. Makes the competition a lot better! And you have a shot at facing some of the bigger names in the Sc2 scene

This site is awesome! great way for me to practice! Definately a must-try for all players who like competition, the adrenaline and the anticipation between games is killer! Won my first cash tournament as 2nd place in Gold-Plat! 3$ FOR E-SPORTS! What should i do with my 3 dollars. hmm. two more wins and I can buy myself a GG button!

The $1k Tournament is still happening but we don't have a finalized reschedule date yet. You guys will know as soon as we do and I apologize for such a long delay.
In other news, we just launched our daily cash tournaments on EU! =D If you have an Europe account check it out here!
I added a poll to the bottom of the first post in this thread, everyone go vote please!

Who do I talk to about website bugs/account help?
I registered an account previously without an email and now I can't login with that account (says it needs to be an email). I tried to create a new account but I can't assign my BNET ID to that account because its already in use.

I can fix that for you. PM me the information (your login email and Bnet ID) and I'll take it off of the old account and put it on the new one. Sorry about that!

Yes, if you're logging in you can see all of them on the tournaments page (just look for ones that say NA).

This is so cool, thank you to the people behind this for making such an awesome site, going to play my first tourney tonight.
|
Won my first match in a tournament, lost second round though ( i played so badly, he pretty much went 1 base roach , i knew it and i made drone anyway >_<) but that was a lot of fun .
|
Going to try and get as much experience as possible, woohoo.
|
