Great initiative, and I wish you luck!
Please save vods/replays and post links here after the tournament. I want to see some high level 2on2, but not likely to be able to catch the tournament live.

Looks like I'll have to get a team to come and win this. Haven't played 2v2 for a while!
ps: there is only 1 EU team I can think of and they're probably the best active 2v2 team hueh.
edit: what wait? Why would u have the event in the middle of the week? Why not a friday-saturday?
|
I'm not sure about the timing, considering its on the middle of the day for EU, anyone with school/a job would not be able to participate.
|
Maybe is time to play some sc2, free money is always welcome.
|
great idea, 2v2 tourneys is what community needs.
Take a closer look to the mappool and the actual date, so eu and na both will be involved comfortably.

Yes maybe I should rethink the time. I picked those days because they worked best for me. Maybe I could move the time farther into the afternoon which would be more like 5-7 PM EU time or just change the day completely. Something to think about.

2v2 tournament yay!!
finally our voices have been heared :D
btw: i wouldn't just blindly pick top of the ladder teams or rt players which forming teams. that would be like just picking the most active players. i would also take winrates, fame, history etc. into consideration.
i also wouldnt mind any known 1v1 pros participating. (at least if they know how to play 2v2 and add a bit to the fame factor; and obviously not some "im 1v1 pro bow down to me" imps)
basically a mixture of top of the ladder AT/RT, medium active but known top 2v2 players, known oldschool 2v2 players forming a team again (only takes a lil practice to revive skill imo), active and known 1v1 pros (if they are interested)
so we have a little of everything and we could see which division is falling apart or wreckin shit up 
(oh and myb a few spots for an open qualifier so some forgotten sc2 heroes have the chance to be revived? o_O well, in general i would say no nick-faking / smurf accounts tho due to transparency of whom is actually participating should be obligatory!)
|
wouldnt a date on a weekend be better to ensure a higher viewership and to make sure everyone can play and doesnt have to work?
am sure it will be a great tournament, gl
|
I have been wanting to see something like this since PTSL2!
SC2 needs more 2v2 tournaments so badly imo, so many people moving on from 2v2 because no tournaments/incentive

Looking for a team mate! ^

Would love to have you
I may be changing the format, I've been getting some feedback from stream viewers maybe its better to have an open tournament. That way its free for anyone to join and hopefully it can attract 2v2 players and top 1v1 players.

Haha I'll do my best! <3

Sweet, this should be a lot of fun, I hate how 2v2 has been so neglected in sc2.
|
Can we pair up beasty with someone from the top of the rt ladder
Also, much love to beasty for the interest!!
|
I like Odem's idea to not just focus on skill or ranking and maybe add history, people who help 2v2 community,... and its not only because I could have a chance to play then :D More to avoid people like Ravenz
I think for the 1st event, invitations only is nice.
I think people only interested by 1v1 and money should not be invited, there are tons of opportunities for them.(not talking of beastyqt here, even if imo forming a 2v2 AT team is more work than a random post on a public forum :D)
Unless it is a NA tournament, if its a global one, I think you could change the gateway rule to looser pick.
About the schedule, it seems the best for NA+EU is going something sat/sun 1PM NA time, and so 6-8PM for EU.
Anything else would be extremely late or early for EU.

It is your tournament, but I would definitely advise against inviting a bunch of random "known" 1v1ers who will just grab a random teammate to hopefully win some money in your tournament. There have been quite a few tournaments like this in the past and usually it ends up with people doing incredibly silly stuff. Sounds like you want some actual competition between 2v2ers who "know what they're doing". CatZ and Drewbie are probably one of the few(only?) 2v2ers who would fit a helpful description and are known for 2v2ing (ofc, the eu team i referenced before as well  ).
Will players in top RT rank be considered at all or only AT? I'm currently wondering if I should only play 2v2 with partner or what so that I can get into this since I assume I won't be given an invite. @_@;;
