New up-and-coming weekly tournament hoping to gain more support.
Every Friday, the bracket will be created at 8pm EST.
Currently looking for sponsors or other supporters that will help to either maintain or grow the current prize pool.
Goals:
1. Weekly $100 prize pool - similar to when ZOTAC cup used to run NA tournaments.
2. Improve the amateur and up-and-coming players.
Note: If you have won thousands of dollars or are an established professional player, please give other players a chance to show their talent and earn a little money.
Current Prize Break Down:
TBA: All donations will be used to support this prize pool and can be done at my stream listed below or through paypal at: followkipi@gmail.com

Stream: twitch.tv/followkipi

I don't get how $25 + $10 equals $100, but good luck with that anyway ! Always good to see new initiatives.

That's why the $100 is listed under "goals" and the "$25 + $10" is listed under "current prize pool"

Thank you penguinator! Understanding what you are reading is some times important.

Any reason you use Xfire instead of binarybeast where most people already have accounts? It also have a overall better feel to it, or I might just simply dislike change
|
Well the first reason is because my sponsor is partnered with xfire so i have to use the website but also, i really like the feel of xfire. It is much less cluttered then most of the tournament websites that i have seen and everything can be seen on the same screen if you so feel the need to do so, ie. the bracket, stream, rules, etc. all at the same time.
|
X-fire is my preference so that is good. I already signed up for it.
|
UPDATE: This Friday will have a prize pool of $55, 1st place will receive $40 and 2nd place will receive $15.
|
Cool! I hope this gets more support and can have a NA Cup again!
|
Don't forget to sign up and check-in tonight. Games will start shortly after 8pm EST and will be streamed at twitch.tv/followkipi.

On another note, i just want to give a shout out to this amazing community because without your support, this tournament would not even be possible. The prize pool has grown from $10 to where it's at now ($55) and i'm hoping that this will continue towards my goal of a weekly tournament with $100 as the prize pool. Thank you and you guys are all amazing!
|
Huge update guys, thanks to some very generous individuals, i have decided to make this week's tournament's prize pool $100 where 1st will receive $75 and 2nd will receive $25. I'm hoping to keep this prize pool and maybe even increase it if possible but it can only be done with the support of the community. Thank you guys for all the support so far and i'm excited to see you all on Friday!

|

sign ups are now open for this upcoming friday guys: http://beta.xfire.com/tournament/1204
On another note, the prize pool will be $100 again but may need to be reduced next week due to financial issues. If you are looking to donate or know anyone who wants to support this event and keep this nice prize pool, feel free to send me an email at followkipi@gmail.com or you can donate on my twitch page: twitch.tv/followkipi
Looking forward to seeing you all on Friday!

Hey i tried to sign up but I forgot my account info and I cannot get my account info back either.
I tried to make a new account but when I put my sc2 ingame name it said I couldn't do that because it was already taken (on my old account).
Is there any solution for this or does this just exclude me from playing in this tournament because I don't have login information?
|
try signing up again and you don't need an account on the website i don't think, that's why you can just join the followkipi group during the tournament and we can find you there. Hopefully this will work but i am going to also try to get this problem solved for you as soon as i can.
