A gold league tournament, or a silver league tournament or a completely random tournament of normal players, not full of pros and semi-pros, would be very enjoyable for most players under the level or masters. As it is there's no reason to join a playhem so a random mid-masters player can crush my platinum heart. | ||

I guess I have to repeat myself because no one reads previous posts lol You dont have to like the game, it is 100% up to you whether you think the game is good or bad. No one is going to judge you if you try the game, say its bad, and then stop playing, but you dont have to keep pestering the rest of the community with these kinds of comments, no one really cares about your opinion. There are a lot of people in this world that still enjoy this game for one reason or another. | ||

Well umm, I'm sorry but there arent any tournaments out there for low league that i know of that offer a cash prize for the winners lol. If you want fun, casual, no prize tournaments for low leagues, try z33k.com. It is kind of confusing the first time you see it, but you will figure it out. There are daily and weekly low league tournaments, some of them actually do offer prizes (the most common being in the form of 1-hour coaching sessions by GM players). Hope this answers your questions. Please ask me anything else if you are having trouble finding things. | ||

So if he's saying he thinks the game is bad that's completely relevant. I stopped playing because I generally game with a few online buddies. 2v2's in starcraft are absolutely horrible compared to other RTS games (AoE and CNCG for some quick examples). I still 1v1 every now and then but not too commonly. | ||

Just look at this: http://playhem.com/#!/tourney/18973. If you're complaining about the prize pool that's just silly. | ||

If he wants people to relate to his opinion, it would help if he added some reasoning to why he thinks the game is bad. So far all I've been able to gather is that he believes everything idra says, and thats it lol. | ||

I wonder if these people ever stopped to think about what would happen to all of these communities if blizzard decided to just copy what everyone else was already doing. Those other communities would lose so much attention, and that would "hurt esports" lol | ||

After all it takes some effort to get better at a game, especially if you never play games for more than a week or so.. I guess they switched to angry birds or something.. Dude some levels on angry birds are actually somewhat difficult  That game is actually pretty good | ||

But 99% of people won't, because it's not easily accessible within the game. If you go to a poker site you can sign up for a tournament and be playing in a minute or two. It would be a lot of fun if you could do the same on Battle.net. Obviously I'm not looking for any prize fund, just a fun way to play with more variety than ladder. | ||

Tournaments like this would be hugely popular and very fun if implemented well. To Respond: Imagine something like the Sit N Go tournaments online poker uses. You just click a button to sign up and when 9-10 people have joined, a 1 table elimination tournament starts. Only 10 people? YES! Larger tourneys are held at scheduled times on the weekend using a similar model. For SC2, Imagine if 16 person tournaments were implemented this way. You just click a button to sign up. Once 16 people in your division (say gold) have joined then the tournament starts. This could be a BO1. So if you were successful you would play 4 games (RO16, RO8, RO4, Final) which would all mean something and be exciting. If you lose out, well you can just start another tournament attempt or ladder. You are only committing to playing 4 games. A 32 person 5 game option or a 8 person BO3 option could also be offered, or switched week to week. This would probably help organizations like Playhem because it would give lots of players experience in a tournament format and interest them to sign up for a 3rd party event. It would also create lots of opportunities to create new achievements, which blizzard loves to do. I think it would be really fun and appeal to a wide range of players. | ||
