As long as we can arrange a good place for casting/streaming. The connection speed is killer and comp setup nice.
I also forgot to mention, we have a Mumble server setup for the New England area. It's a great place to go if you are competing and want to chat with everyone as if we were at a LAN like seasons 1 and 2. All the information is here: http://www.nesc2league.com/forum/index.php?topic=88.0

Um, if I play, am I binded to show up to grand finals? I can't promise 100% that the date/travel will work out, though I will definitely try to make it from NYC.
You should have people also add their location when they sign up, else random pros can just take the money with zero plans of coming to grand finals.

You are not binded to it, but you will miss out on the product prizes as well as the built up prize pool from each of the qualifiers.
As far as the random pros go, you have to register on the NESC2League forums. Since I am an admin there, I have access to your IP address. Suspicious IP's get banned.

Have you guys figured out how to set up a significant stream delay? I forsee this being a problem in the future, what if someone lies anyways and blames a loss on the other player cheating, you cant really prove whether or not the person is lying.
|

|
Yes this will be aweosme! i cant wait!! and yes drogith i will have a solution to your questions for the viewing. And ill have signs all up by then and it will be pretty sweet!! Cant wait for this!

Taken care of. Twitch activated the time delay on the NESC2League account, so now we can delay the stream by up to 15 minutes.

I think you should only give 50% of the cash prize after the tournament, with the remaining 50% given to the players after they compete in the Grand Finals. Should give people some incentive to go. And if they don't show up, you can roll it into the prize pool for the Grand Finals.

I think the consistantly growing prize pool and free give-away pool is a great incentive to show up. But then again, I don't get anything, so what do I know :p
BTW, we already have 3 people signed up as well as 4 prizes from sponsors being sent out of 6. All of these will be spotlighted during the tournament and we still have the same sponsors as last year; Kingston, NZXT, and Cooler Master!

Just as a heads up... this is for NEW England, not England... just making sure you know sir

This looks awesome :D Hopefully this will do well
|
Really excited for this. Is there anyway xelnaga can be removed though? ZvT is really hard on that map,and since its b03 losers choice no veto its pretty significant.
