Teams: Clarity Gaming vs ROOT SEED
Format: best-of seven proleague with ace
Prize: 100k dogecoins (and growing)
More information: http://sc2ctl.com/dogecoin
Coming up in less than a week on January 7th, comes the premiere dogecoin showmatch between Clarity Gaming and ROOT SEED. While the prize pool started at only 10000 doge, with the support of the community it has quickly exploded into something much grander, with the total ballooning up to the grand amount of 104701 doge.
We hope to see you out and enjoying the stream, hosted by SC2CTL. We've got big plans going forward and this showmatch is just a taste of what's to come

best of 7 with ace... better format than SPL 2014 lol
|
Oh wow, the prizepool has grown tenfold from its original! I almost regret it, it would've been funny to see the teams play for $4.47 xD
|
this sounds shady i dont think root or clarity could come up with this prizepool who is sponsoring this
im just really sceptical cuz of the quantic hyun thing

If you read the OP or clicked the website you would see that it started off as 10k dogecoins given by the tournament creator. The rest were donated mostly from the sc2 and dogecoin subreddit.. There is absolutely nothing shady about this, at all.

While I appreciate your concern, let them wash away. You can see all the coins safely stored on the blockchain here: http://dogechain.info/address/D5fFGWRiDyGNHhDq6iWCQKCaHeMfExYCam if you want to track where the coins came from, it's not an issue, again, the blockchain is public. I put in 10k initially, and then it's been donations from there (including a donation from the creator of dogecoin himself!) .
As far as organization and shady-ness. I've organized the entirety of SC2CTL, which was put on by DAS Keyboard. We paid out our keyboard prizes and custom crayon trophy and all the gimme goods to the people who participated, it was a great season. I think you have lots of reason to trust this, and most importantly let loose.
However, if you enjoy having a metre stick stuck up your butt, I won't hold it against you; the bedroom can be a weird place full of weird pleasures.

i dunno man are you sure this tournament organizer can handle this amount of dogecoins. it's just better to be safe than sorry and we dont want the wrong poeple to be in possesion of the money that the players deserve

100K Dogecoins is not a lot of money, but it's a hell of a lot of dogecoins. This showmatch is very new style and so fresh idea. obviously we can't trust you right off the bat.
No but seriously, GLHF to all the players and I still love the concept of a dogecoin. It's sticking it to the cyrptocurrency fools who are trying to stick it to the man who are trying to stick it to people like people using dogecoins. It's finally a cycle.

Yes, if it was a Rotterdam vs Stephano showmatch. Let's get a hedonist tourney together.

Catz is going to be having some fun with the new recruits
|
oh shit i thought they actually meant the player seed lol
|
I thought dogecoins was a joke like esports dollars...
|
For anyone curious, it is 0.00000056 DOGE/BTC and the current prizepool is 0.14852376 Bitcoins, or 115USD.
|
$125 worth now. Not bad for two academy teams, will probably increase over the next week too.
|

|
We've had an influx of donations over night. We're over 800k doges which is valued at approximately $270 USD.

It's Clarity vs ROOT SEED. Lineups will be coming in the next couple days as they're worked out, but it will be the majority of both teams playing.

Yes it is, just google the reddit for it. I was able to start mining through their guides.

So is there any actual prize for the winning team? Or is this a "just for fun/ bragging rights" match?

The prize is dogecoins, which have real, tangible value. The current pool is valued at around $300 USD.

I see. Okay then. Good luck to both teams!

Big shout out to everyone for supporting the prize pool, hope you all tune in for our live broadcast from da mooooonn
|
Less than 48 hours left until the showmatch goes live! Extra interesting now considering that saroVati is in WCS!
|
They should do/have done it so it was all matches guaranteed to be played, and the prize pool gets split by performance, e.g. best of 7, each match is for 1/7th of the prize pool, so if you win 7-0 you get it all, if it's 4-3 you only get 58% of the prize pool.
Then you are guaranteed to see all games and an ace match, and every game still has meaning.

What's the value of 1 doge coin?

the winning team should probably hurry up and exchange them as long as they are still worth something, or as long as the dollar is still worth anything. dat economic system. should be a fun match though.
