TeamSpeak TL SC2 Open #24
September 14th, 2011 21:26 GMT
TeamSpeak is sponsoring another TL SC2 Open Series again. The first series was a great success and produced some awesome games and provided the backbone for our TSL3 Qualifiers. You may recognize some of the past winners: Nerchio, Kas, Thorzain, White-Ra, HwangSin, and many others. Recently, Korean progamers have been entering, notably ZeNEX and Prime team members. Previous TL Open VODs can be found here.
The last TL Open, #23, was a special 4v4 event and was won by a team consisting of Perseverance, GLRiChy, ChillGetOut, and  Empire.Beastyqt. They defeated Team Psw, a Korean semi-pro team made up of PswMystic, PswGun, PswRG, and PswChiTa. Check out VODs and replays from that tournament here. This week we're back to our regularly schedule 1v1 format.
Click here to view early registered players for this week.
TeamSpeak has also provided us with an official TL TeamSpeak 3 server which has been running since November 2010. You'll see many TL users hanging out there at all hours of the day, and our staff use it as a place to play team games, watch movies, and interact with the TL community. Check it out!

There was a statement about this. EU had problems because too many players participated in several cups at once, causing delays. Also, NA - > KOR connection seems to be better than EU->KOR which was important because so many koreans started entering.

Yeah, this.
On June 29 2011 15:41 Hot_Bid wrote:TeamSpeak TL SC2 #18 Tournament Details From now on, all TL SC2 Opens will take place on the NA server. We previous stated that we'd alternate servers, but we feel that several factors favor holding it on NA. First, we like consistency, and players wondering each week whether the server is NA or EU (and wondering what time the tournament starts) is not good for the tournament. Second, with the added interest from the Korean server, we want to allow all players an opportunity to play (EU-KR is impossible due to lag). Lastly, and probably most importantly, we receive a lot more signups when we hold the tournament on NA, possibly due to the already large number of weekly tournaments held on EU. In addition, it seems that when we hold it on EU there are a large number of players playing two tournaments or having conflicting commitments. We apologize to our EU members who want to play in a TL Open, but we hope you guys understand our decision.

hm i mean its kinda ridiculous that because korenans start entering they always hold it on us servers so (almost) no eu players play in it right now (except nerchio and goody play sometimes and make it to the finals)
just sayin

its kinda not ridiculous because everyone can play without crippling lag on na and just sayin they weren't getting anywhere near as many signups for the eu tourneys in the first place so just sayin they might as well hold it on na to maximize participation
just, yknow, sayin
Wait, no I'm not! I'm doing more than just saying. Just like you were! Fuck that passive aggressive bullshit. I'm saying that you're ignoring the other reasons that TL provided for their decision, and focusing on just the one that makes you feel indignant. (And then not even representing that one correctly.) Of course it sucks that they aren't running EU tournaments, too. But if the choice is between this and running several EU tournaments with much worse participation and more delays, I think the better option is pretty clear.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter what the intended reason was. The result is still that there are almost no EU players in any of the TL opens, which makes it a lot less interesting to watch for Europeans.
|
I'm curious to know what the demographics on this tournament are. Is there any way to tell what the average rank is?
|
Not even Liquid Players are participating in their "home" tournaments - least interesting weekly tournament series unfortunately plz try NA / EU switch again TL !!!!

Yeah, for me it would be worth the downsides. Of course, I don't have to run it, but from a spectator perspective.
|
Anyone have the bracket link? I can't seem to find it.
|
|
|
aww no need to be. You're a great caster Endrey!
|
unfortunately are these tlo opens not nearly interesting as the for tsl3 qualifieng ones x)
|

Yup, very happy Endrey got a chance to cast one of these (I think Naz was complimentary towards him midweek, I wonder if that has any impact on this?). Watching the games quietly but posting to show support to Endrey =)
(all international greeting in the finals please <3)

Yong, blink push.

VODs are going to be late unfortunately. Something went wrong with the recording process and the audio didn't save. Combined with JTV issues, the videos from their end are too laggy to use so we're going to have to mix and match the working parts from each recording.
|
That's alright we'll watch them when they come out ^_^ thanks for another great TeamSpeak guys.
|
What was the score for the final match between RaNgeD and Yong? Yong 3-? RaNgeD.
Edit: Nevermind, found it. 3-2.
