Just open Sunday this time. I may come to watch the Collegiate stuff though. My school does not have enough players for a team and I didn't know this until it was too late.

Quick question, How do I pay the signup fee?

It's on the same page that you filled out the registration form at. You can find the paypal button here and it will bring you through the payment process. Let us know if you have any questions!

I just had a question. The first tpg sc2 open was a bring your own computer event. I'm assuming that this tournament is as well, but I just wanted to make sure as I didn't see that that was clarified in the OP.

All of our events are BYOC + peripherals (mouse, peripherals, keyboard, headset, ethernet cable). Thanks for asking! The OP has been updated with additional items plus more player sign-ups.

Update for everyone training for the Open:

- Terminus SE removed

This change was made due to public pressure from the UMN Starcraft team and the Midwest Meltdown Facebook page. Consensus was that this is a map that tends to produce one sort of game: three base macro. While not as predictable as Calm Before the Storm, Terminus SE has been removed from every major tournament, so we'll take the hint.

- Entombed Valley added

Entombed Valley allows macro games, but the smaller size lets skilled players punish a greedy opponent. More than anything, however, this map has produced varied and exciting games in GSL group play. Another benefit is that this is a ladder map, generally raising the quality of games this tournament will produce.

- Dual Sight removed

After swapping Terminus SE for Entombed Valley, we were left with 8 maps. Even-numbered map pools are problematic since the first player to veto gets an additional (and perhaps most valuable) veto. Both TLPD stats and the stats that recently came out of Playhem paint a grim picture of Dual Sight for competitive PvX. We realized a while back that our pool slants slightly against Protoss players, so we chose to remove this map, as it's the best possible counter-pick against a winning Protoss.

- Version changed to GSL for every map but Tal'Darim Altar

We've followed the removal of gold minerals from GSL play, and have seen no horrible imbalance in the aftermath. We see only good coming from this decision.

For those following along at home, our map pool now looks like this:

18/128 are filled with about 3 weeks left for registration.

Many of our sponsors commit to a specific MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) for an event and then later ship us a package based on previous negotiations. Prizes will unfortunately be finalized as we get shipments in from our sponsors but we should receive all of them before the end of registration and will post as soon as we know!

We understand that it's really frustrating for players and this happens for all of our events (Last TPG Open, KOTH, SlumberLAN). We really apologize about being unable to provide a concrete prize pool until about 2 weeks before the date of the event and thank you for all of your continued support throughout the years despite this issue.

Hm, I really wish you guys could fit the individual tournament in on Saturday somehow. Most of the CSL teams coming to compete will be leaving sunday, and thus their players will probably be unable to participate. Have you guys considered this?
say you were born into a jungle indian tribe where food was scarce...would you run around from teepee to teepee stealing meat scraps after a day lazying around doing nothing except warming urself by a fire that you didn't even make yourself? -rekrul

Unfortunately no. We would prefer to have only one event running per day so that we ensure the best quality possible for both events. Sorry!

Also, there will be a lot of updates such as casters and concrete prizes and a final list of all of the sponsors announced by next Monday so stay tuned!!

Updates and changes:

1.Location
The even has been moved from the Science Teaching and Student Services Building to the NorthStar Ballroom at the Saint Paul Student Center. Why did this change? The building that we had originally booked decided to inflict over $3000 worth of additional fees very last minute that we did not originally agree to pay.

2.Time and Dates
The Midwest Meltdown is now only 2 days. Day 1 (Saturday) will still be the Midwest Regional LAN and Day 2 (Sunday) will be the TPG Open. Check-in for Day 1 will begin at 9am, rounds begin at 11am. Day 2 check-in will start at 8am and rounds begin promptly at 9am. Players that are registered for both events will be able to leave their equipment overnight at the event in order to reduce set-up and take-down time.

3. Lodging
Lodging has been relocated to the Super 8 Roseville. Cost is $59 per night (available for booking at 5pm on Friday Feb 17th) under "Midwest Meltdown". This location is where all of the CSL teams will be staying from Friday-Sunday!

4.Sponsors
List of sponsors has been added to the end of the OP to give everyone an idea of what prizes to expect!

5.TPG Open
Number of seats have been reduced to 64 due to the change in location and power limitations! Currently 27/64 seats are taken with 1 week left of registration. Fill out your application ASAP because they're sure to be gone by the end of the week!

More updates coming soon!
