Most tournaments try to crown a champion. We aim to find out, given a set of players, who is the best of the lot. But what if our goal wasn't to find the best, but the worst player?



The Biggest Loser


This is a $1001 USD tournament featuring 8 top notch StarCraft 2 players with a different format. The event will be a single elimination, best of 5 bracket, as per usual but with one catch.

Rather than have the winner advance on to the next round and the loser drop out of the event...the loser is the one who advances on and the winner is done with the event. But the further you advance in the bracket, the less money you'll make so you want to win an exit the bracket as fast as possible.

Prize pool distribution
Win in ro8 round: $200
Win in semi-finals: $75
Win in grand finals: $50
Lost every match: $1 & join clan [iLost] on every server for a month


The players
Seeded by physical height because why not
(T)HeRoMaRinE
(P)ShoWTimE
(Z)Elazer
(P)MaxPax
(Z)Lambo
(T)Soul
(P)Neeb
(T)Clem

Round of 8: Thursday, Jun 24 3:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
Semis & Finals: Friday, Jun 25 3:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)

Hope to see you there!

This is an excellent idea.

Getting to see the most games from the players that lose the most is such a nice inversion of how things are usually.

Won't this just lead to both players trying to destroy their own cc as fast as possible?

No. You still want to win your games to get out of the tournament fastest (and with the most money).

The real question is how did they learn how tall MaxPax is.

Oh, wow. The idea for this fantastic.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.
