Next Event: Sunday, Sep 09 3:30am GMT (GMT+00:00) - Showmatch with $20 prize pool.

The I'm Out Already!? Showmatch and Tournament Series is a unique format on the NA server that puts a significant portion of the prize money in the hands of the viewers. In both the showmatches and the full tournaments, the viewers will have the opportunity to vote for whether or not a player that lost fought well enough to earn prize money.

The prize pool for the showmatches is $20 every week. The tournaments feature a $50 prize pool.

Format Details

Showmatches: + Show Spoiler +
Every showmatch will feature two players that signed up through Z33K. Anyone can sign up, but players that are in Master or Grandmaster League will have priority to ensure the most entertaining matches. Players will be selected by the host, but any player that the fans want to see or has won previous showmatches will be more likely to be selected.

- The showmatch itself is a Best of 7 and the loser picks the next map from the remaining maps in the pool.

- When the showmatch is over, the viewers in the stream's chat will vote on how the prize will be distributed. $20 is on the line every week, and the money can either be split $15 and $5 (if the fans enjoyed the loser's style or if the loser fought well), or the entire prize can be given to the winner.


Tournaments: + Show Spoiler +
The tournaments will be an open, single elimination bracket. The map pool is the same as the showmatches, with the first map being chosen before the tournament starts.

- The fans' choice on how the prize money is slightly different from the showmatches. One match from every round will be streamed, and the viewers choose whether or not the loser of that match deserves any of the total prize pool of $50.
Through Round of 8: $5
Semi's and Finals: $10

This essentially means that if the viewers think that none of the losers deserve to walk away with prize money, the winner of the tournament receives $50. If the viewers decide every loser played well enough for a prize, the winner of the tournament only receives $15. The winner will receive at least $15 even if it causes the payout to exceed $50.


The showmatches start at 03:30 GMT (+00:00) every Sunday, and the tournaments start at the same time on the first Sunday of every month.

Current Map Pool:
+ Show Spoiler +
GSL Daybreak
ESV Cloud Kingdom
GSL Antiga Shipyard
GSL Metropolis
GSL Atlantis Spaceship
GSL Whirlwind
ESV Ohana
GSL Entombed Valley


The stream for the tournament will be at http://www.twitch.tv/canerassc

Showmatch: http://www.z33k.com/z/mp0 (9/8)
Tournament: http://www.z33k.com/z/mp2 (10/6)

Players are requested to meet in chat channel ImOut (no apostrophes or spaces) prior to and during the event.
Prizes will be distributed via PayPal.
Results, replays, and VOD's will be posted in the OP after the events occur.

I appreciated the chance to play in the showmatch vs boBo, and while I did not win (or get the $10 from the viewer vote), the series was very close, boBo was mannered as could be, and the semi exposure was nice. Looking forward to more of these in the future!

an extremely well-thought initiative, especially about the price. I wonder if someone could make something similar in Europe :D

Love the viewer voting system! If you come to EU I'm sure alot of GM's would want to join just for some exposure!

Thanks for the support everyone. The first event was very successful, due to the great 4:3 series. I've got a few inquiries on here and on Reddit about hosting the event on the EU server as well. It's definitely a possibility in the future, probably on a different day, but I will need either sponsors or donors to cover the prize pool. Keep an eye out for it though. Tune in Sunday for the first tournament in the series! Prize pool is at $50 and the dividends are up to the viewers. Registration link is in the OP.

The first open tournament of the I'm Out Already!? series is only about 36 hours from now. The registration is almost full, although it will be first check in/first entry come tournament time, so head to the registration page (found in the OP) and sign up to try to win a piece of $50.

Also, Z33K has picked up the series as a featured tournament on the site so coverage is getting much bigger! Thank you everyone for all the support I've received for the tournament.

I thought you changed the date to tonight because some of us have finals in the morning D:

Yeah the next tournament is August 4th, but there will be another on August 11th. So, there's two over the course of a week. Also, the showmatches are still going on every week. Make sure you sign up for those. If you're selected, you're a Bo7 away from winning money!

Oh, and the tournament on the 4th will have a $50 prize pool and an invite for an invitational later on the 11th that will have a $100 prize pool. However, there will also be a separate, open tournament on the 11th with a $100 prize pool. So there's $250 on the line from the 4th to the 11th. I'll be doing a 24 hour streaming marathon on the 11th so those tournaments will only be part of the entertainment that day. The wait may be a month from the last tournament, but I hope it's well worth it :D

Wow, this is really cool! Now I want to join and get some good practice in.

Yes I know it's better to ladder or have a practice partner, but I have stage fright, and when I'm in tournaments I screw up more than on ladder, so doing more like this will be good for me. :D
This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Caneras,

just a suggestion. click on "quote" and copy this BBcode as is and paste it at the top of your main post.

so that your stream is more visable to those who click on this thread. then just erase it when you aren't live.


STREAM: LIVE !!
