This is the second beta key challenge. One beta key will be made available as a prize. Any number of registered forum users can participate. You do not need to be a veteran poster or have any particular skills aside from fast forum search ability.
The contest will involve hunting the forum and posting answers as quickly as possible. The contest should last for roughly ONE HOUR. It might last slightly longer or shorter because I can't estimate exactly how fast you guys will find things. Some clues will be very easy, some will be very difficult. It will be a very simple contest to understand, and most clues will be solved within a matter of minutes.
Contest officially begins at:
Friday, Apr 16 10:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
However, a few clues will be posted before then at selected times. Try not to wear out that F5.
Rules:
1. You may only post one answer at a time (1-per-post).
2. Post the Clue # and Clue in your answer as well.
3. No editing! If you mess up, post again. Posts with edits will not be counted.
4. You will receive one point per correct answer.
5. Once you successfully answer a clue, it will be "claimed" by you on the leaderboard.
6. Whoever has the most points when all clues are solved will win.
7. Staff may not participate.
All remaining contest clues will be posted at the start time. There will be roughly 100 clues, so solving 50+ will guarantee you the key, though with the sheer number of users participating, I doubt anyone will score more than 20.
Example:
+ Show Spoiler [Show Example] +If the Clue List looks like this: Clue List
1. Screenshot of R1CH's beta key hunt post
2.
3.

etc. This would be the answer to #1 if I posted it: + Show Spoiler [Show Answer] +Then the Clue List / Scoreboard would look like: Clue List

9a. Progamer ID Challenge - krndandaman (28 minutes) + Show Spoiler [Details] +There exists a promotional video for Proleague a few years ago. The video opens with blue lightning among darkened progamers, then cuts to a closeup of Nada's face. Find this video.
At the 15 second mark, the 10 progaming teams are shown flashing through the screen. Each team's logo has several players standing in front of it. Your job is to identify the players. You don't need to ID all of them, just the largest one for each team (the one closest to the camera, farthest away from the logo). Some are quite difficult to recognize, but you will get it if you look closely.
- Identify the order of the teams
- Identify the "biggest" player for each team (I'll give you one -- MBC's is Sea)
Put your answer in this format:
1. CJ - Effort
2. SK - Bisu
3.
4.
5. MBC - Sea
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
Those first two answers are not correct, obviously.
