Thought this deserves a TL thread
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1293697224/hell-its-aboot-time-basetradetv-live-event/description
"Hell It's Aboot Time" is a planned LIVE event in Toronto, Canada, for near the end of August 2015. BaseTradeTV will be funding the event, as well as a couple of partners TBA. If you aren't aware who we are, we're a community casting channel on Twitch and our list of accomplishments, as well as events we have funded in the past can be found here: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/BaseTradeTV . The cost of the venue, accommodations, production, lighting and many other things have run costs high, and left us with very little to no money for a prize pool. The goal of this Kickstarter is to raise an impressive enough prize pool to make the event not only noteworthy, but attract some high profile players to come and compete!
Online qualifiers are planned
It's because $1,000 at that tier level will be not added to the prize pool directly, but instead used to fund an online qualifier for that particular region, thus inviting a high profile foreigner to come compete! We intend to host online qualifiers + have an open bracket at the event itself.
The goal is already reached, so thats good. Looking forward to see how they will handle their first Offline Event.
Date announced:
August 21-23

wow
Already reached the goal
Good luck to them

Despite how disappointed I am in their choice of city, Im very happy for them that they reached the goal so quickly. I have to imagine this'll lead to more events in the future, which is awesome!

tell ya.. if even Rifkin won't give Vancouver some SC2 love.. who will?
people in Vancouver shouldn't be too angry though... its only a 5 hour flight to the center of the universe.
regardless of that, this is a great development.. and well earned by BaseTradeTV.

Good to see that team making progress and pushing forward their boundaries.

Congrats to BaseTrade. If anyone deserves to be able to hold their own independent offline event, it's definitely them. I hope they get so far above their projected cost that they can apply for WCS points.
What I'll be interested in seeing is how their crowd reacts the first time a player picks Cactus Valley.

Woah! Amazing and congrats to Basetrade, they put in a lot of hard work. Nice job guys 
|
┌(° o °)┘DANCE! └(° o °)┐

While I am all for more offline SC2 tournaments am I the only one who is pretty disappointed by the amount of work put INTO the actual kickstarter?
There is no information at all apart from stretch goals and rewards...

Honestly, I think they were expecting to maybe eke by the 5k goal and throw together a miniature HSC or something of the sort. They might (and will) easily triple their original goal, so I'm not surprised they're scrambling to plan this.

Great to see this take off like it did It was funded in 2 hours and could possibly reach 20k, there are still 2 months left.
|
sick props to everyone who contributed (and still will)! Community showing up like this is awesome!
|
Gaming Slippers... all gone already

Nope, even though it should be and its infuriating that Toronto gets everything.
