I distribute the prize money within a week of winning. The past two tournaments, prizes were distributed in less than 3 days. Do note that smaller turnout to cede smaller prizes as we are a self-sustained group.

Note that ESV Ohana Re has been replaced with ESV Ohana. The Re version is being taken off b.net.

Yes indeed  Been missing seeing you in action.

Ryan, David, you guys been slacking off? I heard some talking, but don't see any walking :p
|
Don't forget that we are live for this event. Beacuse of the way the TL calendar works, it shows us in April. SIlly Korean timezones!

Where do you live at? There are a few spots that are still open in New England, but they are far apart.
|
"from Providence"
It looks like the closest LAN center to you is GosuLAN in Framingham, MA, at least that I know of. After that, it's Friendly Fire Gaming out in Storrs, CT. With Gosu, I'd call up the owner ahead of time, as he isn't open all the time, but he should actually be playing in the tournament himself. His name is Tommy: 978-308-9233
His prices are pretty good for what he has and the comps can play SC2 no problem. I think he has 10 rigs there, iirc.
|
Ok thanks bunches, I will be sure to give Tommy a call when the tournement is closer. Also will be signing up shortly. Looks like fun glgl ^^
|
No problem, but that actually brings up a good idea... Seeing if LAN centers will host people playing. You can have mini gatherings at different locations and still play in the online tournament. Thoughts?
|
yeah i'd MUCH prefer that drog. when's grand finals date/month? I want to make sure i'll be on the contintent still for it (leave end august) before i sign up for this
|
The finals are in May and you can bank towards the 3rd weekend. It's not finite just yet.
Also, if anyone has been holding out on joining the qualifiers due to lack of LAN atmosphere, worry not!
GosuLAN in Framingham, MA has offered their facility for anyone to come and play FOR FREE! Registering will be the standard $15 through paypal, but you'll be able to hang out with other people playing in the tournament and watch the stream. So it's almost like the good ol' LAN of yesteryear... I even have some swag to give out. Anyone want a SSD from Kingston?

Yes, yes you did... along with 2 others on the same day mwahahah!

Just a reminder to everyone! There is just under 2 weeks left to register and even if you plan on going to GosuLAN to play, you still need to register via paypal online. No exceptions!

damn so early in the morning

There has been an update to the rules to reflect some changes in game play and recent developments in the community. You can find the official rules listed here:
http://www.nesc2league.com/forum/index.php?topic=11.0
Rule changes/additions:
12. When a tournament takes place at a LAN center, players will play on the computers provided by the LAN center unless otherwise noted. Only peripherals (headphones, mouse, keyboard) may be replaced with personal choice.
-"unless otherwise noted" added
14. Streaming of tournament play is allowed unless a player is being casted. Doing so will result in a warning for a first offense, and a loss of series for a second offense. Penalties do not carry over from tournament to tournament. I strongly encourage players who stream to direct viewers to watch via the tournament stream.
-This is not to harm players income, but to help us continue to provide higher quality production, as well as support our sponsors. Continued streaming after being casted is not prohibited.
15. Bad manners, and penalties to be given out, will be handled by the tournament staff. If you are on the receiving end of BM, do not publicly post it, but direct it towards either the admin or producer, not the casters. Advertising BM publicly may result in similar disciplinary actions.

up signed! forward looking it too!
|
They do say that third time is a charm, and even if you don't qualify, you've ranked up a good bank of points that should help you qualify if you keep placing well!
|
What rank do you need to be in the point ranking system to qualify for placement?
|
Top 3 before last chance.
|
While we are looking forward to MLG this weekend, remember, there is less than a week left to register for the 3rd qualifier. I know there are a few of you that showed interest, but haven't signed up yet. o get your ass in gear :p
|
Time sure is flying by as more people sign up everyday. Some new faces, and a few oldies that I've missed seeing!
|
Patty get on Gmail or something need to discuss something with ya :D.
And to contribute to topic: Can't wait for the tournament this weekend, day after my birthday
|
I'm on skype and FB atm. I'll jump on Gmail and see if I see you.
|
Tonight is the last night to register! All paypal links will be gone in the morning.
|
There have been some last minute changes to the map pool due to maps being removed from bnet:
ESV Ohana RE will be replaced by Ohana LE
Edge of Oblivion will be replaced by MLG Tal'Darim Altar
|
Alright guys, so theres been some rumors about Anonymous Killing the Internet on the 31st. So In case they do, and it does effect us gaming (which I doubt it will since they are just killing the DNS so at the most stream and brackets might be an issue) We will make a rain date for Sunday.
However, since its just the DNS servers they are taking down, and SC2 go directly to the IP of bnet, we should still be able to actually play.
And here are the IP links for the tourny brackets and stream, just in case they do kill the dns servers we might be able to still look at everything we need to.
199.9.249.14/nesc2league
69.164.210.151/nesc2leagues3t3
Now the brackets dont work yet because of them not being posted yet, but day of the tourny it'll work.

I think i'm a day late on registration, but good luck to all who signed up!

Do you have a date on the Grand Finals?

We are looking at the 3rd weekend in May. However, we are also looking to hold the finals at Microsoft's NERD center in Cambridge. So we will be working with their schedule as well if everything works out
