Green Forest Info
We have extensive history with hosting LAN events and have had huge success so far. We've focused primarily on Starcraft II and are looking to expand to League of Legends.
Our most recent large LAN tournament, the "1st Green Forest Cafe Starcraft 2 Tournament", was hailed with much success. There were 128 players battling to overcome one another, many from professional teams with highly competitive backgrounds. (Fnatic, EG, many with a prominent North American Brood War/Starcraft II background)

In addition, we had famous casters Diggity and Day[9] casting the finals which were held on a stage where the final competitors battled for the grand prize of $1500, played in soundproof booths much like the Korean tournament stages.

In follow up to the success of that event, we've been hosting smaller weekly Starcraft II tournaments where local talents can test their skills against each other for prizes and a chance at making a name for themselves.



Here is a highlight video of our previous Green Forest LAN tournament event:

That hype video, plus awesome prizing and personalities sounds absolutely amazing!

Seems like you'll have a stacked lineup of Starcraft 2 players there. Any idea of the teams for League of Legends? I'm excited to see Team Green Forest out in force, but I know there are a lot of great Cali teams (Kevin is a Noob, mTw.na, etc.) who I hope can give them a run for their money!

Let me know if you need any help planning/organizing/casting/producing. I can't wait to see this event blow its predecessor away!

I noticed this too. The SC2 2nd and 3rd place prizes are similar to the League of Legends prizes, while the first place prize for SC2 is $2,000 more.

Why does tournaments continue to use Tal'darim? It's not a very good map and is very favored towards Protoss at the highest level of play..

GIGABYTE and MSI are both set around MLG Anaheim, so we just kept their map pool.

Should bug MLG about that. We'd be happy to change it if they did.

QFT, MLG need to work on their pool, and if the players are already gonna be practicing maps for MLG, we're just allowing them to optimize their practice time.

We are considering making the schedule easier on your wallet by moving the LoL side to Day 2-only, thus allowing us to finish SC2 up to ro16 in Day 1. What do you think?

Yes, We changed our schedule little bit, so its more comfy for everyone. On day2, we can have all the matches, on stage.
Also, TGF is not playing on tourney. They will be casting the event with RAP1D. We are planning to have showmatch, Winner of the tourney vs TGF after Grand Final. =)

I would assume, that it is only iNcontroL, Machine, Idra, LzGamer and Demuslim. Flying in JYP, Puma, HuK and ThorZaiN would be a bit expensive for a 6k-Lan.

MSI guys, FYI, your stream on Twitch isn't showing up under the game 'Starcraft' like every other tournament.

Also if you have a link to the brackets (is there one?) you should stick it on the page info somewhere.

Great little tourney with so few viewers. Violet/Select/Day9 in person and only 3k people watching? SCAN had 10k+ and it was played online with a tiny prize pool. At least you are on the TL sidebar! A few suggestions:

Get the stream listed under the game 'starcraft' on Twitch.tv. Edit: nice, fixed! Though your stream is still currently titled "Untitled Broadcast" ...

Web page showing pool results or brackets (there are free sites that will do this for you). Link from this thread and twitch info tab and the main stream description so it's right there on the page at all times.

Day9 mic is clipping like crazy, fix it if you can.

You will have inevitable downtime, but try to avoid ever cutting to static screen, even if you just mute audio and show an empty desk on video you will retain more viewers. Or cut to brackets at a minimum.

Submit a post to /starcraft and to /day9, saying you are live right now. Tell chat to upvote if they like what they see.

Appoint a few mods in chat (looks like that's been fixed, yay!).

This isn't online, you've got players there live in person but you'd never know it! Get a camera on them once in awhile. Or have them come to the desk or something between matches if you only have one camera.

And recently, some pretty severe video lag.

Up to 4k viewers now though!

That was built up after hours and hours, there were very few viewers at the start.

Why does the game seem to go really fast and then lag then go really fast then lag? =\

Seems weird for a computer company to promote themselves with laptops that can't stream properly

Or is it an encoding/bitrate problem?

Despite the technical problems, a good tournament with some great matches.

Remaining in the winners: Violet, GoSuSTX, Quantic.State, Axslav. STX knocked Select down to losers but he's not out yet.

The funniest game: this bizarre proxy during State and Beasty: http://www.twitch.tv/msistarcrafttv/b/318013606?t=113m30s

FabIntegral was very impressive random player. I joined halfway through his zerg game and was really surprised to find out he was random!

While I don't like cheering against itsGosu ... Go Go Violet!

Edit: Oldschool ling/bling/muta FTW! Though STX's pushouts seemed lacking in purpose aside from hoping to curb potentially rampant greed and get a bit of scouting. I could be entirely wrong though.

Edit 2: interesting, greedy build by violet. tons of drones and queens asap w/ reasonably fast upgrades on slings & infestors into 14 min greater spire. I like it and wonder what he saw that made him so comfortable going for the 3rd base w/out taking down the rocks vs hellions.

No it's a myth, mech has a very good mineral/gas ratio so it's easy to macro a big army with.
What is true however, is that bio is supposed to give you more mobility, hence map control, so that you can easily be ahead in bases, leading to a lead in supply. At equal number of bases, it's not even weird to have the mech player ahead in supply.

This whole outside setting feels so uncomfortable to every gamer. :/

Very happy about Beasty showing good games now. Insanely talented guy that for some reason never manages to win in the end.

Twitch moderator Rebmared accidentally banned me. When I got on another account to inform him of this mod Zarakian9 banned me on there.

I was polite, bothered no one. But accidentally banned and then powerhungry banned.

I hope in future events they have better mods =\


Edit: And yet completely ignore some racist comments on stream chat.


Misclicks happen. Our mistake - I have cleared the ban query.

Nice try from Axslav

Better wall preventing zerglings from running around in his base would've been nice

Axlav pretty much threw that game after playing it very well in the earlygame. For some reason he just never walled of his natural and that ended up costing him the game

10k viewers!

Start tweeting @msiusa and @msibattleground. We'll randomly pick a tweet and give away a Steel Series 7H USB Pro Gaming Headset at the end of MSI Battlegrounds to an online viewer.

Green Forest has doubled down, if we can hit 20k viewers, we'll give to an online viewer a MSI N560GTX Graphic Card.
Thank God and gunrun.

Violet really has Axslavs number, I dont think I have seen Axslav win a series against him.. He probably has since they played so much

Amazing game from Axslav!

Is he going to reach the overall finals and defeat his nemesis Violet?

someone insults me talking about balance in the chat. i say something with substance that is not the slight bit offensive and I get banned.. Other than the mods, and the awful jokes the casters are telling its been good. i really think beasty could have won that game, he just didnt get that 4th.

good games from both sides, very impressed with Axslav's air-toss transition in the last game, definitely at the least he went out with a bang and put on a good show despite the 2-0 in the grand finals (4-0 extended series score).

best of luck in future events, Axslav and Infinity Seven fighting!

Not to discredit anybody else (too badly), but there were very limited high quality players there. Nonetheless, you're right, it's very easy to accidentally throw away a game, so to go 12-0 is quite good.

great tournament, great staff, great coffee, friendly people;

bad internet, bad fps.

during group play i played on a computer that only capped 30 fps, and the admins told me 'every computer' had it. after looking around, i found out it was only mine. --;;

so i had to play my first tournament matches on it.

no big deal though, im sure they'll fix it next time this lan comes around.

Thanks for the tournament.

cheers

Axslav ALWAYS runs into Violet, in offline and online tournaments (like Playhem). The games probably involved a lot of mind games on both sides.

With MSI Battlegrounds wrapped up, the Green Forest staff decided to put together some highlight reels to round out the event.

Competition like (P)iS.Axslav, (T)dSeleCT, and (T)Empire.Beastyqt were no match for the Surgeon Zerg (Z)Empire.viOLet, whom went on a monstrous 12-0 run to take home the $3000 top prize on Mother's Day weekend! Congrats!
