Korean Thanksgiving is known as Chuseok, and occurs on Friday, Sep 13th 2019. While the traditional Chuseok gift employers give to their workers is a fancy gift bag full of Spam, I thought we could do something a little more festive - a Starcraft 2 Tournament!
King of Chuseok is a 12 hour, King of the Hill, Best-of-1 style tournament open to all players. The tournament will run from 0900 KST to 2100 KST on Friday, September 13th. At least $150 is guaranteed for the following prizes:
1. King Taejodae Prize: The player with the most overall wins will be awarded $100+
2. President Moon Prize: The player who wins the final game when time runs out will be awarded $50+
3. Yoo Jae-suk Prize: Players who play particularly entertaining games (awarded at organizer's discretion) will be awarded $10 each.
Excess matcherino funds will be used to fund Yoo Jae-suk prizes, and leftovers will be split equally to increase the other two prize pools.
If you'd like to play, please register for a position on the challenger's list using this Google Form. The complete challenger list (in order of play) will be published on Wednesday, September 11th so players can try to estimate the time of their match. Full rules can be found here.
Good luck, and 추석 잘 지 내 새요!

The Matcherino page has now been updated to include 100 Matcherino codes! To support the tourney, please do visit the page and enter the code "KingofChuseok" to increase the prize pool!
Also, I would love to see more entrants, as it will be a pretty easy shot at $100 for the winner! Right now, I can practically guarantee you a spot during your preferred 2-hour block, so your commitment would only be to be available at the start of your block until your game happens.

Note to all: coupon code doesn't require you have any funds in Matcherino! You can create a new acc, use the code and contribute without adding a CC at all.
Creighton, where does the money from the Matcherino code come from? Would feel pretty bad overusing it if it's out of ur pocket 
|
Yubo - never fear! Matcherino coupons come from Matcherino sponsors and such! In fact, the more money donated to the Matcherino, the less that comes out of my pocket!
