I am pleased to announce Texas StarCraft Showdown, hosted by Texas e-Sports Association, a University of Texas at Austin student organization. Registration for this tournament is open on a first come, first served basis to those that can attend in person on the day of the tournament. The tournament will occur in two separate, distinct phases which are detailed further below. The second, LAN, phase will include live commentary, contests, giveaways, raffles, and a substantial prize pool.
** Thanks to the generous support of AT&T, our prize pool has DOUBLED to $3000!! **
Official Website Post: http://studentorgs.utexas.edu/tespa/starcraftshowdown.html
TeSPA hosted its first two StarCraft II tournaments in November, 2010 and April, 2011. Both tournaments were warmly met by both the community and participants. In the first, 64 participants battled it out for the cash prize pool of $700 USD in the first tournament. Notable names included the like of EG.Strifecro, ZpuX, and more. There were memorable moments that were captured here for all to view. The second tournament boasted a $1500 USD prize pool with 128 participants with players including vileHawk and TriMaster.
Given the previous success of the past tournaments, TeSPA has decided to raise the stakes yet again to make this tournament even more successful. We requested feedback on both tournament, and the participants provided accordingly. We have listened to both the compliments and complaints, and have taken the necessary steps to resolve previous concerns.
Total Participants: 128
Prize Pool: $3000
Date: 10/22* (Online), 10/29 (LAN)
Location: Austin, Texas – University of Texas at Austin campus
*Pool play dates are somewhat flexible. Minor timing conflicts should not deter registration.
We are pleased to announce that the event will be cast by none other than Evil Geniuses' Geoff "iNcontroL" Robinson! ![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/8/82/Incontrolmlgcrop.png) We're very excited to have him with us, live and in-person, for this great event. His incredible energy, passion, and game knowledge is sure to make the spectator experience unforgettable!
This is an event for everyone!
Attention Bronze to Diamond league players:
We are pleased to announce *additional cash prizes* for the furthest advancing players from each league. We will determine the top advancing player through a simple point system. Each winners bracket game win will yield the player two points and each losers bracket game win will yield one point. A prize for each league will be awarded: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond.
Attention StarCraft-loving Universities
We are pleased to be able to offer a 24 port HP Procurve switch and 10 ethernet cables as a prize to the University that has the most number of attendees (other than UT)! Players and spectators both count, so be sure to register early and put in your bid to start your own gaming house! Bring your best players and your best fans to show your love for eSports.
Player Challenges
>> The player that wins the most games (more than 2) under 6 minutes will win a X-Armor Cherry MX brown switch mechanical keyboard.
>> The player that wins the most games (more than 2) with the lowest APM greater than 25, will win a Logitech G500 laser.
Games from the pool play carry into the brackets for the LAN Ro64 and all count towards this prize.
Due to a previous participant cutoff last tournament, we have decided to conduct the tournament in two distinct phases in an effort to better seed players while including all participants that may want to compete. The first phase will be online, pool play, 128-player bracket with 4 players per pool. The second phase will be a LAN, double elimination, 64-player bracket.

As a general update, we changed the map pool a bit to include a more balanced selection.

So you must get top 64 in Online Phase to go to compete correct?

Yes, because of location logistics we will only be able to have 64 computers at this event. However, if fewer than 64 people sign up, then everybody will advance without need to qualify.

It will happen. If you absolutely can't work out timing, we can try to reschedule your matches.

As soon as we hit 64, we can let you know. Other than that, the latest time you'll know is the last day we will accept sign ups. Although with that said, spots are rapidly being taken, so I'd anticipate a full bracket.
To anyone who has been considering registering for our tournament, make sure you sign up done soon! We are filling up fast and won't be able to guarantee anyone a spot after we fill up. I'm really excited about the improvements we have in store this time around - the event is going to be awesome! If you have any questions, feel free to post them or PM one of our coordinators.

We *officially* secured our brand new venue today for TeSPA's Texas StarCraft Open! This is going to be BIG! Expect a setup that will rival the layout of MLG.

If anyone needs any clarification on the additional prizes, just ask away.

There will be limited parking at the venue, but we will have a drop off area for all computer equipment. In about a week, we will begin selling parking passes (which we may subsidize part of) on the street adjacent to the venue and submit a bulk order to the University. Otherwise, we will have detailed maps and instructions for off-campus parking (~5-10 minute walk) for anyone who wishes to find parking elsewhere. Because of the limited parking outside the venue, we highly encourage car-pooling. In the past, we've done this and things have gone smoothly.

Trust us, we'll have the internet very well taken care of. Bandwidth and speeds will not be an issue. Our connection was so good on our last stream that we were forced to turn the quality down so people could watch it.

You'll be able to play. We will be sending out to all confirmed players several days prior to the Pool Play matches to work on scheduling.

that speedtest got me super excited!!! and i already submitted my aplication but since then ive ranked up 150 points on ladder so should i contact someone in the next week saying my new ranking cuz i think 200-300 point difference will matter in seeding.
But regardless i am super stoked for this event. If anyone needs anything as far as clarification or any good places to hang out if your coming from outside of austin go ahead and ask and I will see what I can do!!!
Esports!!!

Signed up! If anybody is in Dallas and needs help getting down there, send me a PM.
|
spots filling up super fastt
SIGN UP AND GRAB YOUR SPOTS !
|
that speed of 100mbps up down is per IP address. the university is on fiber backbone with 10 Gbps cards to Dallas.
MLG's got nothing compared to this. not even close.
|
|
|
Yep - dorm resistants can even request a gigabit port be installed so they can access higher speeds if they so wish.
|
There are about 100 participants thus far, hurry and sign up before we fill up.
|
|
|
few spots left
don't miss your chance for eternal epicness
|
I'll probably submit the paypal payment Friday =o.
So since I've already said I'm unavailable this Saturday, what day-time will I be playing/how will this work out? I'm available Sunday nights for CSL anyways, so if that works that would be awesome.

We'll be sending out a form to reschedule pool matches for those who can make it on Saturday on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning.

Thanks to the generous support of AT&T, we were able to extend the early-bird prices throughout the registration period. The registration fee is $15 for players ($12 for TeSPA members). For non-players to spectate, it costs $5 ($2 for TeSPA members) to get in the door, but all spectators are automatically entered into many of the raffles we'll be having. Add an additional $5 if you wish to purchase catered lunch from Chipotle (we must have the payment in advance to ensure we order enough).
We'll be making a few exciting announcements tomorrow about what players and spectators can expect! Our team has been working tirelessly to ensure this event surpasses all expectations and are all very excited about the direction in which we're heading.

We are pleased to announce that the event will be cast by none other than Evil Geniuses' Geoff "iNcontroL" Robinson! We're very excited to have him with us, live and in-person, for this great event.

TIEBREAKER RULES
If player A and player B have the same numberof wins, but A has won over B in a previous game then A will be the winner. Ifa tie still exists, a rematch will be played.
In the case of a 3 way tie, the player that has beaten the other two players automaticallyadvances. The winner of the remaining players then advances. If there is stilla tie, they will rematch.
Example:
Player A: 3-1
Player B: 2-2
Player C: 2-2
Player D: 2-2
Player E: 1-3
Player B, C, and D go 2-2 in their pool
Player B beats player C and D. Player B advances. If Player C has beaten D (or vice versa),that player advances. If there’s still a tie, then the player with the mostgame wins advances. If there is still a tie, another match will be played.
In the case of a 5 way tie, the player with the most game wins advances. In case of a tie,rematch will be played.

And for us that won't be in town tomorrow? how can we reschedule the matches?
|
I don't understand how to qualify for LAN... is it top 3 in each group advance to LAN or is there some kind of bracket system after the groups or what?

You should have received an e-mail to fill out this form several days ago. E-mail Anthony at chickeninacup@hotmail.com to see if there is anything we can still do.

If nothing else, a refund is the least we can do. We'll try to work it out, though.

So is this just te group play for the kids who can make it on saturday right? For the people who play on monday a different group play list will be released?
|
Yes, there will be a different pool play for those playing on Monday

So I went 2-2 in the prelims, is there anyway for me to determine if I got into to the LAN or not?

My guess is that it determines how everyone else does in your group in terms of win/loss ratio.

For the monday pool you sent out, there are only 3 rounds. Shouldnt there be more? Also, the monday schedule happens to coincide with a test I have to take but I checked the box to play on monday bc i didnt have any other choice. Is there any way for me to play my matches on Tuesday or Sunday?

Thanks Odien!!! ur kind words helped me win my rounds!

Important Parking Info:
October 29th is a football game day at the University of Texas campus, which means a lot of the available parking on campus will be restricted. We have access to parking passes near the Student Activities Center (the location of the event), must purchase these passes in advance. If you do not purchase a pass, you will need to park in a nearby lot off campus, which we will provide detailed instructions for next week. If you park off campus (~10 min walk), we will have an unloading zone available where you can drop off your computer and accessories if you wish.
If you would like to purchase an on-campus parking pass for $15, e-mail me at AdamRosen75@gmail.com by 12PM Sunday. Carpooling is highly recommend!

The scene you guys are putting together in Texas is amazing. Good job guys! We're working on something similar here in SoCal.

We may have an extra monitor, but I can't guarantee it. Most of the monitors we have will be reserved for 'rental' computers. If we have any extras, you are certainly welcome to use one, but I can't make any promises. If you are bringing your own computer, I highly recommend bringing a monitor also. In addition, ethernet cables are no longer required.
Currently no map vetos. We'll discuss this again tonight. If it changes, I'll be sure to let you know.

Saw the ad for this in the Daily Texan, pretty cool.
It's still a shame you aren't doing any BW related things anymore.
I've been trying for little over a year now to spark something in that area.
G HF to you all!

is anyone interested in a SC1BW King of the Hill booth?
yes. a real live king of the "hill". winner stays, loser leaves. then for every consecutive game you win...

Will the bracket be posted in a couple of days?

If there is BW im there 100%. Hell even a community run BW side tourney would be fun (if ya'll are busy with sc2 stuff).
Also can non tourney players bring a comp to play with people?

I remember last year it was really easy to find everything because yall provided a map with colored areas where the event was, where the drop off area was, and where potential parking locations were. Will that exist for this event? I feel it would be very useful.

We'll get brackets up soon. Right now, we're waiting on a few stragglers to sign up for the z33k bracket, so no promises on timing since it relies on them. We're doing our best, though.

IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION FOR ALL PLAYERS AND SPECTATORS
Saturday 10/29 is a Football game day on the University of Texas campus, so parking instructions must be followed very carefully. Please enter campus only as instructed on the parking map or you will run into problems.
>> Parking Map <<
Parking Instructions
The event will be held in the ballroom on floor 2 of the Student Activities Center (SAC). If you get lost once you have parked on campus, ask anyone you see for instructions - it is the newest building on campus and located on Speedway, across from Inner Campus Drive and north of Gregory Gym. There will be no prepaid parking passes.
Spectators: Enter campus on 24th street from Guadalupe. Stop at the gatehouse at 24th and University Avenue, pay $15 for parking, and go park where instructed. After you have parked, walk to the Student Events center.
Players with laptops: Follow the spectator parking instructions above.
Players with desktops: Enter campus on 21st street from Guadalupe. Stop at the gatehouse at 21st and pick up an unloading permit from the TeSPA volunteer there. If no volunteer is present, explain that you must enter campus to *unload* equipment for an event in the SAC. Call (972)834-8503 if you have problems. Proceed to the event location, the "Student Activities Center," to unload your computer and monitor. Afterwards, exit campus the way you came in and follow the spectator instructions above.
Note: The game does not start until 6pm so there should be plenty of parking on speedway. If there is no parking left, the workers at the gatehouses will instruct you to the closest parking place.

Ask for directions to the nutsac.
I'm completely serious, must people know it as the NUTSAC.

Hmm OP still says check in from 8:30AM - 9AM o.o
And by "doors open" does that mean we can't set up our equipment until 10AM? So there is no reason to show up before 10AM?
|
|
|
woo woo! headin there in a few
|
Don't show up before 10 The doors of the building don't open until 10.

Loser's Bracket best of 1s are a terrible terrible terrible terrible idea, it instantly rewards everyone that loses. They play fewer games, worst players get free wins with cheese, it's just a bad bad idea.

I'm assuming that they made it best of 1 for time purposes. Of course they would love to have best of 3's but sometimes that simply isn't feasible.

Hey Geoff, I remember you tweeting back and forth with Inka about you and Rocker, was that serious or was it all a joke?
|
So proud of both Ryan/Devan in this tournament. And great casting yet again, Geoff.
|
Ya State! GL in Finals!
PS bracket needs to be in OP
|
Great Job Ryan/vileState and Devan/vileHawk. 2 years of vile victories from Tespa! Awesome job!
|
Thanks so much guys, it was an awesome time. And way to go Vile, I was expecting Hawk to win but State was amazing with some immaculate defenses so that he only lost 1 game in the entire tournament! I can't wait for next year and the $6,000 prize pool .

Great tournament you have to give it up to all the people who made it possible its not as if they had a huge budget to make this all happen, the quality was amazing. Except for that first match shown on the big screen, that was kinda dumb haha (cuz i lost in it) but overall pretty stacked feild for such a small lan cant wait for the next one looking to do just a bit better!!!

Thanks to Geoff and the other casters for the great casting, and fantastic job to Tespa! Was an awesome event and we could tell you put a ton of effort into it. I love that we have such cool events like this happening in Texas.

Any plans for more gridmetrics lans in the future? I remember the last one was halted due to lack of interest, but now that school is back in session and all the csl teams are together the interest would be very high.

HF guys. Make sure to humiliate that jerk mekhami if you play him. he bad LOL quasar and I tag teamed him out of the tournament within an hour time span. I had never heard of this guy before, but he was pretty bad mannered. Reading this post after-the-fact makes it so much more funny. last time i heard it was hard to racepick and bo1 all in right? you and quasar were both terrible. honestly, congratulations on advancing farther than you deserve, its a great feeling, but you're still bad.
you lost to a better player's offrace; it was racepicking because he knew you weren't very good.
if you can't handle a 14/13 baneling build when you go pool first, maybe you really aren't that good anyway.
if you were truly better than us, you could have easily beaten us.
maybe it's time to be a man about things?

All I hear is 'blah blah blah I can cheese a best of 1' PEOPLE ARE RAGING IN A TESPA THREAD! WE'VE MADE IT TO THE BIG LEAGUES!!!!
But really, I'm so sad I couldn't come. I spent most of the day working on school work and then the evening at a party which was ruined when someone stole a friends phone. I think I would have had more fun with you awesome people.

I had a lot of fun, it was a great event!
and thanks to I think a man named Brett for lending me his computer all day for the tournament, really appreciate it!
