A note on replays:
+ Show Spoiler +Please send them to Betacontest gmail.com
If you have me on MSN, that is also fine as I will be logged in all day.
For round 2 on Coulee, please take a screenshot of the victory screen (and save the replay anyway). This will only be required to be submitted if there is any dispute
Several replays are missing from the first tournament, I will find out which exactly later.
Just a quick piece of info for those playing:
+ Show Spoiler +
Brackets will be created at the scene (as with random teams, you can not make brackets until you know who shows up). If there is an uneven amount of teams, Byes will be given.
If there are 48 players or less (but more than 32), then the RMA and 2cp2 rounds will change places, and the overall format will be 3v3 instead of 4v4. The finals are then a 3 player FFA.
If there are 32 players or less, one round will be cut (likely RMA, but the players left at that point will have their say). The overall format will remain 4v4, however. Finals remain 4 man FFA.
Note:
I sent out PMs to everyone playing in Tour 2 - IF you do not see yourself on the Tour 2 list in the first post (or in any other tour that you can play), or if you do see yourself there but haven't seen a PM, contact me as there has most likely been a mix-up somewhere.
Note also that there was one disconnect in the first round of the tournament, and the decision was made to give the non-disconnected team the win. Upon further review however, I've decided that it's a bit too close a call, and as such players GoShox, Achim and ChessWhiz will be allowed to enter a second tournament (if for some reason the PMs I sent you did not get through, contact me).
For everyone playing:
The channel for Tour 2 is "Ironman Tour-2" on ICCUP (without the citation marks).

I have double checked this so it SHOULD be right.
If we get 32 people for a tour, we will cut the Random Micro Arena round. If we get 48 players, we will play 3v3 instead of 4v4.
If we get somewhere inbetween (ie 38 players), some players will have to be cut, but will then be first in line as reserves for any of the other tours. Yes, this sucks (honestly, it would really, really, really suck) but I don't see another solution..

UPDATE
I was trying to fall asleep when something hit me tho, and I had to get back up.
It's totally my fault for not realizing this could be a problem until this very moment :/ I went by the calendar when making the dates, and was thus completely thinking in "TL Time", but I'm almost sure more than 1 of you (understandably) will have gotten the dates wrong because of this.
So, to be 100% clear:
I was trying to fall asleep when something hit me tho, and I had to get back up. The dates:
Tour 1 - Thursday July 16th 3:00 AM KST (8 PM CET, 2 PM EST)
Tour 2 - Friday July 17th 7:00 AM KST (12 AM CET, 6PM EST)
Tour 3 - Saturday July 18th - 3:00 AM KST (8 PM CET, 2 PM EST)
Tour 4 - Sunday July 19th 7:00 AM KST (12 AM CET, 6PM EST)
I just realized that a lot of people are not going to realize that July 16th 3:00 AM KST = July 15th 8 PM CET / 2PM EST. When making the dates I obviously went by the Teamliquid Calendar, but I'm 100% sure more than 1 person is going to have gotten this wrong (I hate timezones, I hate timezones, I hate timezones, I hate timezones).
So:
Tour 1 - Thursday July 16th 3:00 AM KST (8 PM CET Wednesday July 15th, 2 PM EST Wednesday July 15th)
Tour 2 - Friday July 17th 7:00 AM KST (12 AM CET Note that this is technically on Friday July 17th, but it's at midnight Thursday->Friday, 6PM EST Thursday July 16th)
Tour 3 - Saturday July 18th 3:00 AM KST (8 PM CET Friday July 17th, 2 PM EST Friday July 17th)
Tour 4 - Sunday July 19th 7:00 AM KST (12 AM CET Note that this is technically on Sunday July 19th, but it's at midnight Saturday->Sunday, 6PM EST Saturday July 18th)
If you need to change your dates because of this, please let me know ASAP.
[HR]
If we don't make 64 players per tournament, we will be running 48 or 32 man versions. At 48, it will be 3v3 instead of 4v4, at 32 we will cut the Random Micro Arena round, but otherwise it will work the same.[/blue]
I'm remaking the thread here, as it's about to get bumped out of the front page - easier to keep track of questions this way. Still a decent number of spots left for those who asked.
It took us a while longer than we'd have liked to sort all the details out, but as of this writing the signed license should be on its way back to Blizzard HQ 
So without further ado, re-introducing the...
Starcraft Ironman
Want a shot at a beta key but find your cooking lacking? Writing not your forte? Fear not, the Starcraft Ironman is here; prove your Starcraft know-how in a 5 discipline SC tournament!
When?
There will be four tournaments spread out over 1 week as follows:

NOTE: You are only allowed to sign up for one (1) tournament!
Where?
On ICCUP. The exact channel will be announced closer to the tournament date.
How?
Throughout the next week we will be running four 64-man tournaments, each culminating in a FFA final to be broadcasted right here on Teamliquid!
The structure and details are as follows:
Prizes:
The winner of each tournament will get TWO Starcraft II Beta Keys, for a grand total of 8 keys to be given away in this way.
Maps
Ro64 - Neo Abattoir - Random Team 4v4
+ Show Spoiler [Map Information] +A 64x64 version of the map Abattoir (aptly named Neo Abattoir), created specifically for this tournament. Blood Bath on crack.
Some notes about the map:
- Placing a building in the colored choke is a perfect wall with units spawning on the safe side.
- Every base has one mineral patch that is exposed to another base. This mineral is separate so that good players can redirect workers away from cannons / sunkens / etc.
- The terrain in between bases is high ground. This means you will need something to grant vision if you want to cannon your opponent's mineral patch.
Players will be randomly teamed up and square off in a 4v4.
Game Mode: Top vs Bottom
Ro32 - Coulee - Random Team Capture The Flag
+ Show Spoiler [Map Information] +For Round 2 we have both an unusual gametype as well as an unusual map. Created by TL member Mora, aka Teroru, back in 2005, it was used for that years Blizzcon Invitational.
Team Capture the Flag is a sadly under-played game mode which functions like a regular Team Melee game (that is, several players control one player), but with the added twist of a flag..
Capturing the opposing teams flag will result in a win, just as if you had eliminated them.
Game Mode: Team Capture the Flag
Note:Each team will have to pick 1 of each race - that is P T R Z. Which one is your main race (which determines what building you start with) is up to each team to decide.
Ro16 - Random Micro Arena
+ Show Spoiler [Map Information] +
Random Micro Arena is a team based UMS, more similiar to Tournament Control than - as the name would suggest - the more traditional Team Micro Arena.
Players are given a random set of units every round (activated by morphing your high templars), and do battle vs the opposing team. Only one player is active at any given time, but once per round (of which there are 8), you may elect to "tag" in one of your team mates.
Should you not tag, your team mate will replace you once you die - until there's only one player left standing, winning the round.
Game Mode: Use Map Settings
Ro8 - 2c2p v 2c2p - Sin City
+ Show Spoiler [Map Information] +Sin City is an interesting but fairly standard map, created by Peatza[Ag] on Broodwarmaps.net, so let's jump right to the game-type: 2c2p v 2c2p.
You may be asking yourself just what the hell this is, and I don't blame you. Not many people regularly play 4v4s with computer allies 
Teams of 2 players and 2 computers will face off against eachother, with the winners advancing to the FFA finals.
Important Note:
Players are NOT allowed to abuse the computer A.I by attacking one of their workers or buildings with their scouting peon (causes all A.I workers to chase said peon). If you should happen to do so by accident, you MUST leave your peon to its fate, unless it is your last peon (and you have no means of replacing it).
Secondly, while players are free to set their own race, as well as that of their computer allies, you cannot have more than 2 of each race on a team. PPTT is fine, PPPT is not. PTZZ, also fine etc.
Game Mode: Top vs Bottom
Ro4 - Mystique/Unreality - FFA
+ Show Spoiler [Map Information] +Having made it this far, it's time for some regular FFA.. on a couple of mind-twistingly beautiful maps.
Both maps are made by Freakling from http://www.broodwarmaps.net , and not surprisingly they both won Map of the Month awards. If you want to leave him a comment on the maps you can do so here:
Mystique
Unreality
Mystique will be the FFA map for Tour 1 and Tour 4.
Unreality will be the FFA map for Tour 2 and Tour 3.
The winning player will recieve 2 beta keys, one for him-or herself, and one for a person of their choosing.Players should use the Observer version of the maps (O), and one referee will be present as an observer. Game Mode: Use Map Settings

Replays
Replays must be saved for all games, and sent in after each round to betacontest@gmail.com
For game modes where replays cannot be saved, please take a screenshot of the score screen and send it to the same address.
Bugs
The following bugs are legal for use in games:
+ Show Spoiler +
- Observer over turret
- Units pressed through
- Drops to defuse mines
- Mineral walk
- Hold lurker
- Larvae Move
The following bugs are illegal for use in games:
+ Show Spoiler +
- Cargo glitch
- Flying drones and templars
- Terran sliding buildings
- A bug which allows your units to remain stacked while moving/attacking
- Team modifications (Allied mines, Unallied mines, etc.)
- Sieging a Tank inside of a landed Terran Building
2c2p v 2c2p specific:
Players are NOT allowed to abuse the computer A.I by attacking one of their workers with their scouting peon (causes all A.I workers to chase said peon). If you should happen to do so by accident, you MUST leave your peon to its fate.
Using an illegal bug will result in an instant forfeit of the game in which the bug use occurred.
Eligibility:

When will we know which tournament we are playing?
|
Sweden33719 Posts
As soon as it fills up so we can make brackets :/
IIRC You signed up fairly early so you should almost definitely have your first pick.
|
hahahaha after reading that, the tournement actually sounds really fun and creative, props to the guys who came up with it
|
Sweden33719 Posts
Mostly me and Chill iirc! It involved a lot of evil giggling.
|
will there be alive stream for the last matches or just commentart over replays after?
also when will the last matches occur
|
Sweden33719 Posts
Probably not livestream, and the plan is to have the entire tournament finish on the day it starts.
|
I have been a frequent visitor to TL since 2007, but I never created an account. Do I have a chance at being in this tourney even though I just created an account?
|
Sweden33719 Posts
Yeah, I actually removed the July 1st limitation earlier today =] Go ahead and register!
|
Hum coin flip time then?
Actually depends how long do you think it would take to play though? I might have a day then.
|
A livestream FFA of 4 players sounds hilarious exciting :D Hopefully they'll be some great players too.
Edit: Doh, I thought I had read about a stream earlier  Now I see there wont be one.
|
Sweden33719 Posts
We will probably stream it, but maybe not live.. I dunno, if we CAN do live maybe we'll try? I'll ask the tech guys :o

I don't really know - but the goal is definitely to have each tournament done in the night it started.

Questions:
1. Will the bracket be available before the tournament or right when it begins?
2. Are we allowed to discuss a game plan or strategy before the tournament starts if brackets are released beforehand?
3. In CTF, only workers can pick up the flag, and you must bring that worker back to your own flag with the enemy flag in order to win?
4. In RMA, is tag glitching allowed? (It may have gotten fixed in the newest version, i don't know. It is when you have a spell casting unit, lets say a vessel. You irradiate a enemy mech or a high hp unit and tag yourself, resetting the spawn and thus the irradiate will kill everything the guy has that is not mech. It can be done with storm, plague, emp, and mines too)
5. Computer AI abuse: Can we use a unit to run around in circles to distract their army? (Like i use a marine and walk it around making zealots chase it instead of going to my base)
6. Policy on secret alliances/teaming up in the FFA?

iirc, you can't ally players in FFA, only in Melee so I'm not sure how that will work. Dual attacks I can understand. Diplomacy is fun 
|
I signed up. Hopefully it ain't too late, although I never play these fun modes as I'm a hardcore 1v1 player, it sounds so intriguing I just HAVE to attend.

Yes, that's what I meant lol. Like you attack, trade, and they are left with little/no units and the guy you whispered comes in for the kill :D

Aotearoa39261 Posts
Fairly certain you can ally in FFA. Given that you probably won't know the other players in the game you will have to be playing a fairly tight game of diplomacy in order to win. FFA is one hell of a difficult beast to win.

I hope that you will also broadcast selected non FFA games.

Yep, the plan is to broadcast each final game and a "best of" selection from the other rounds.

3. In CTF, only workers can pick up the flag, and you must bring that worker back to your own flag with the enemy flag in order to win?
4. In RMA, is tag glitching allowed? (It may have gotten fixed in the newest version, i don't know. It is when you have a spell casting unit, lets say a vessel. You irradiate a enemy mech or a high hp unit and tag yourself, resetting the spawn and thus the irradiate will kill everything the guy has that is not mech. It can be done with storm, plague, emp, and mines too)
5. Computer AI abuse: Can we use a unit to run around in circles to distract their army? (Like i use a marine and walk it around making zealots chase it instead of going to my base)
6. Policy on secret alliances/teaming up in the FFA?
1. Once it starts.
3. Yep!
4. No, seems a bit too abusive But good thing you brought that up, I didn't know about it.
5. That's fine, as long as you don't make all their probes chase your scouting worker it's all good.
6. Feel free

Fairly certain you can ally in FFA. Given that you probably won't know the other players in the game you will have to be playing a fairly tight game of diplomacy in order to win. FFA is one hell of a difficult beast to win.
You are wrong because one of the players will be the one you've just won 2p2c v 2p2c with .
|
And the winner of the tournament gets 2 beta keys, so.... make a deal with your 2p2c partner that you guys team up in FFA and winner gives the other guy a key
Might not be much of an FFA in final round :s

I think you specify the player beforehand.
Also, FA, did you get my application? Just paranoid <_<

Ro32 - Coulee - Random Team Capture The Flag
I assume this is 4v4 (4 players controlling each side). Am I right?

Tour 1 is full =]
Tour 2 is @ 48 people
Tour 3 is @ 42 people
Tour 4 is @ 34 people
(then there's 7 people who can join any of them, so they aren't counted, and like 20 people who haven't submitted their prefered dates yet *stern look -.-*)
If we don't make 64 players per tournament, we will be running 48 or 32 man versions. At 48, it will be 3v3 instead of 4v4, at 32 we will cut the Random Micro Arena round, but otherwise it will work the same.

Sign me up for Tour 4, thank you.
|
Is there a way I can check if I'm definitly signed up?

How do we know if we got signed-up or not? (and which tour we got in if we're signed-up)

Sweden33719 Posts
Hopefully you'll all know what brackets you are in tomorrow, but Dewis I can say you are CURRENTLY in Tour 4 (your 2nd choice) and GGTeMpLaR you are currently in Tour 1 (your first choice).
I was trying to fall asleep when something hit me tho, and I had to get back up. The dates:
Tour 1 - Thursday July 16th 3:00 AM KST (8 PM CET, 2 PM EST)
Tour 2 - Friday July 17th 7:00 AM KST (12 AM CET, 6PM EST)
Tour 3 - Saturday July 18th - 3:00 AM KST (8 PM CET, 2 PM EST)
Tour 4 - Sunday July 19th 7:00 AM KST (12 AM CET, 6PM EST)
I just realized that a lot of people are not going to realize that July 16th 3:00 AM KST = July 15th 8 PM CET / 2PM EST. When making the dates I obviously went by the Teamliquid Calendar, but I'm 100% sure more than 1 person is going to have gotten this wrong (I hate timezones, I hate timezones, I hate timezones, I hate timezones).
So:
Tour 1 - Thursday July 16th 3:00 AM KST (8 PM CET Wednesday July 15th, 2 PM EST Wednesday July 15th)
Tour 2 - Friday July 17th 7:00 AM KST (12 AM CET Note that this is technically on Friday July 17th, but it's at midnight Thursday->Friday, 6PM EST Thursday July 16th)
Tour 3 - Saturday July 18th 3:00 AM KST (8 PM CET Friday July 17th, 2 PM EST Friday July 17th)
Tour 4 - Sunday July 19th 7:00 AM KST (12 AM CET Note that this is technically on Sunday July 19th, but it's at midnight Saturday->Sunday, 6PM EST Saturday July 18th)

Did I get my first choice (Tour 4)? It looks like that's the least popular one so I hope I am in it! Thanks again for this awesome tournament!
|
Good thing I'm not in Tour 1 then... I just checked the date and time and thought it was Thursday 8 PM CET...

You have no idea how pissed I am at myself for only thinking about the time when setting the dates..
Setting dates by Korean time, living in European time and trying to accomodate for North American time at the same time =
Guess that's what happens when you've never organized a tournament before..
|
Thanks for the heads up on everything being a day earlier than I and probably many others thought.

The dates are all a bit messy in the OP.
Friday = 17th

Thanks for pointing this out.
I even managed to only fix half of the typos when I made a new PM, so I had to make a SECOND new PM.

What tour did I sign up for? o_o
Has a map pack been uploaded yet? I'd like to scout it :3
edit: whoops maps on first post xP

Hey FA,
just wondering if my sign up got through ok? : ) and what tour I'm in so I can schedule things around it... cheers!

cant you just release what tournament everyone is in? you would save yourself a lot of headaches

Good update. I would have missed that to be honest. That's what brainless reading does to you
But that means tour1 is tomorrow! If I haven't received a PM saying that I should show up for Tour1, does that mean I'm not in the 64? I'll be showing up anyways to try and take a no-show's spot, but I'm just wondering.
edit: woops, didn't realize the question had been asked ten times before

I cannot not friggin wait, I wanted to play in this regardless of the outcome cause it sounds like such an awesome format. Bit random, bit of luck involved, but it seems simply fantastic.

Thanks for helping to organize this

Sweden33719 Posts
If you can ONLY play 1 date, you will almost 100% get it (unless the new timezone issue causes everyone to pick only 1 date). Previous to the timezone debacle, everyone who had only 1 date picked got it, and nobody had worse than their 2nd pick.
Hopefully this can stay the same. I'll post up groups as they look like soon, but people need to keep in mind that changes will be made as people receive the timezone PM (if you get it, PM back plz - even if just to say "no changes").

hmm can you list who got in for tour1?

1st means it's their first pick.
X or Y means they have two dates they prefer equally.

Sweet I got my first choice. Looking forward to Friday/Saturday then
Thanks a lot FA. Hope this turns into a success

I'm fine with being on team 4, thought that was the date for it all along.

I have double checked this so it SHOULD be right.
If we get 32 people for a tour, we will cut the Random Micro Arena round. If we get 48 players, we will play 3v3 instead of 4v4.
If we get somewhere inbetween (ie 38 players), some players will have to be cut, but will then be first in line as reserves for any of the other tours. Yes, this sucks (honestly, it would really, really, really suck) but I don't see another solution..

I'd like to add that if you do not see your name on the list, please PM me and I'll add you. These lists are only final in the sense that if you are on it, you will get to play - you are still welcome to sign-up.
I did double check the list but mistakes happen (twice, already..).
If you have not received a PM with the ICCUP channel/my contact info but you are in Tour 1, please let me know.

Sorry for not contacting you! I sent a PM

If there's something like 38 players why not just have some of the first rounds be 4v4s and some of them be 3v3s and go from there?
|
I PMed you but just in case you did not get it, I am still fine with Tour 4 even after the time change.
|
I thought jonoman92 is arcology, but arcology id in tour 1 and jonoman in tour 3?
Or have I mixed people up?
|
I just tested something - on Neo abattoir, protoss walls all have units spawning on the wrong side except for the uppermost left. On the lowermost left goons spawn on the right side, on all they rest they always spawn on the wrong side unless blocked from doing so by other units (probe, zealot, goon, etc.).
Edit : To get a perfect wall you have to put the gateway half in and half off of the colored part. It leaves a choke but one zealot blocks it perfectly. (This isn't in the information on the map in the OP, probably should be).

I am sMi.Arcology. "Arcology" was my friend from bnet US East who I pretty much stole the name from and he recently found his way onto TL.

Okay, I suck with time-zone conversions/abbreviations, so could someone help me out? I live in Central time zone (GMT-5) so what time would 8PM/12AM CET be for me?

Wow.... I can't believe I couldn't find that before. lol Thanks!
|
a chance that u can put me in second tour maybe ?
|
When the draw is made for the each round and I see what player(s) I am allying, will we have 5-10 minutes say to talk about strategies, or be expected to start pretty much straight away?

It's from when I made the list, it basically denotes how high up their list the choice was.
No number = 1st and only choice
1st, 2nd etc = 1st choice, 2nd choice
2 or 4 = 2 or 4
Etc

hey, i've got a problem. i am in tour 3 now which starts at 8 PM CET, but my soccer training lasts till exactly 8 PM (actually it's the season's first train ;. after that i must walk home, take a shower and eat something, so i will be able at 8.30 PM.
if this is a problem please switch me to tour 4. also if i dont want to, it looks like i have to live one night without sleep

I'll switch you to tour 4, it's easier that way (and tour 3 has the most participants anyway).

Fairly certain you can ally in FFA. Given that you probably won't know the other players in the game you will have to be playing a fairly tight game of diplomacy in order to win. FFA is one hell of a difficult beast to win.
no, you cant ally in ffa. diplomacy is on mouth to mouth basis

mhh, finally i found something^^
"hasn't replied..."
i didn't receive a mail, which sounded like i need to reply. i thought its just like an information mail.
i really don't care which tourney, timezone or whatever. if it's 4.30h in the morning for me, i'll just get up an hour earlier and i'm fine

I have a question about the FFA. In real FFA mode (the blizzard actual game setting) it is the same as 1v1 mode in that you cannot vision or ally the other players. Please tell me it is against the rules to ally other players because if so it's not FFA...

For everyone playing:
The channel for Tour 1 is "Ironman Tour-1" on ICCUP (without the citation marks).

You are not allowed to actually ally anyone except a possible observer (TL obs).

If you are pretty much dead ie only have a pylon left then can you request vision? ;o

If channel one is full, go to channel 2, plexa will be there. Ironman Tour-1b

So when is the broadcast? It is supposed to be now when the tournament is still on, later from replays, or what?

From the OP:
Throughout the next week we will be running four 64-man tournaments, each culminating in a FFA final to be broadcasted right here on Teamliquid!
Meaning that, most likely, no games will be officially broadcast by TL with the exception of the four FFA finals.

Thank you for taking the time to organize this! I've organized some small tournaments, I cant imagine the work you must be putting into a tournament of this size.

Good luck to everyone participating. I would have joined, but I doubt you can find a worser player then me. Plus, I have zero experience in 4v4`s and whatnot.
And I cannot believe noone has posted this yet:

Tour 1 is over, results in first post.
Congrats to the winner and thanks to everyone for coming - replays will be uploaded in due time (they are low priority, high priority is answering the 25 pms I've gotten in the past hours).
|
Lost in the first round to the eventual winner. Still good fun though.
|
GG's to all - I had a lot of fun even though RMA is rigged
|
hehe, someone from my initial team actually won. good job & congratulations no_re!
|
|
|
that RMA map is horrible IMO =\
the other maps were actually fun and more balanced then I thought
|
Sweden33719 Posts
Dude you have no idea how fun the RMA map was for me as an observer haha
Seeing as how Fear_Chaos on your team had to go after that game, and it was soooo close, I was on the edge of my seat hoping for the other team to win so I wouldn't have to postpone the finals.
It was nailbiting.
And when no_re's marines moved instead of attacked those reavers at the end... heartattack time.
|

yeah RMA can be amazing lol

wait so no_re won?
Congrats rANDY!!

Np - PM me if you want to play in any of the other tours now that the dates are clear.

wow, congrats no_re and nt ahzz, your fpvods rule!

Just a quick piece of info for those playing:
Brackets will be created at the scene (as with random teams, you can not make brackets until you know who shows up). If there is an uneven amount of teams, Byes will be given.
If there are 48 players or less (but more than 32), then the RMA and 2cp2 rounds will change places, and the overall format will be 3v3 instead of 4v4. The finals are then a 3 player FFA.
If there are 32 players or less, one round will be cut (likely RMA, but the players left at that point will have their say). The overall format will remain 4v4, however. Finals remain 4 man FFA.
Note:
I sent out PMs to everyone playing in Tour 2 - IF you do not see yourself on the Tour 2 list in the first post (or in any other tour that you can play), or if you do see yourself there but haven't seen a PM, contact me as there has most likely been a mix-up somewhere.
Note also that there was one disconnect in the first round of the tournament, and the decision was made to give the non-disconnected team the win. Upon further review however, I've decided that it's a bit too close a call, and as such players GoShox, Achim and ChessWhiz will be allowed to enter a second tournament (if for some reason the PMs I sent you did not get through, contact me).

Sweden33719 Posts
I updated Tour 3. If you think you should be on there (or in any of the tours) but aren't, let me know.
|
Sweden33719 Posts
Participants for Tour 3 should have all received a PM with their information now. If you did not, let me know and I will get on it.
A note on replays:
Please send your replays for every round to Betacontest@gmail.com
If you have me added on MSN, that is also an acceptable way of sending them.
For round 2 on Coulee, please take a screenshot of the victory screen (and save the replay anyway). This will only be required to be submitted if there is any dispute.

I'm not sure if it will actually be streamed or not.
The games have not started yet anyway though.
|
What's the point of listing Ironman Tour 2 as being on air, and bannering the site, when we don't have a stream or even live report?
|
Mostly to remind the players I imagine.
|
Yay, I made it past the first two rounds allying with HuskyTheHusky and ESC.Archi
New teams now

people that go reaver on sin city should be punched in the face.

Yes, this is the only reason.
We can't have livestreams, as it means there's a risk someone will cheat.
|
Ok, apparently Insane + Hullah + kAra >>> Archi + Freaky + me in RMA, bigtime.
gl in the FFA to all of you
Edit: I also have to mention that this tourney was insanely fun, and nothing gaming related got me as pumped lately as this event did. Thanks to everyone involved in organizing this, and thanks FA for watching over the herd of people and running the tournament.

Jesus my grammar is so bad I had to edit the edit twice.

Only 3 hours this time - hopefully the others will follow a similiar pattern :O
I must say I got really lucky to end up with a perfect 42 players tho, so I "only" needed to put 2 byes and everyone could play. Also lucky one of the late entrants showed up and took over for someone with lag problems (thanks GTR <3 saved me).
|
not surprising at all, had insane as the clear favorite in this tourney. part of the TL UMS group!
|
couldnt say insane was a clear favorite, with yosh in it.
so far, looks like tourney 2 is the most difficult one, some big names in there.
|
Yeah I heard that Naib dude is pretty good, like B- or better.

Does anyone have the FFA replays?

I wanna see the finals right now? Was the game even epic? =P... And just curious, what's your iCCup rank?

As I recall without checking it's a bit over 30 minutes long. It was PvPvP, featuring dozens of carriers.
I don't have a specific iccup rank as I don't play iccup or really low money actually (I just spend the majority of my time playing BGH).

EDIT: Nevermind, apparently I can't read. >_>
|
Fuck me. I thought Tour 2 was today.. gaah. Missed my chance of having a beta key..............
|
This tourney is a test of teamwwork with random people, especially in team CTF round. We (my team) have lost it, even thought it was the round I had perfectly planned out because... we couldn't even execute a simple build order (also when two people micro the same unit its worse than no micro at all ;p)... Yet we could have won it if we had flied the shuttle with the flag directly to the side of the map.
I would play such tourney again even without prizes, great fun, really exciting games and most people have enough SC skills to win it.

Not just you. It was down for about a minute.
