It is vital that you remember who I am because I will be the main person managing the tournament as it goes.
All players must check in with me before they start their match as well as report the results to me after the match. That way I know when a match is in progress and know when a victor has emerged. If you report results for a game that I was did not know was in progress, the results will be scrapped and the series will be replayed

Decisions, decisions...should I play Random or Terran? Also, food arrangements, that depends on how much everyone else is willing to eat.

The banner is pretty good, btw. :p

no iccup maps this time? D:

nah, iccup would be preferred but it can be hard for some people to get practice on them most ppl get their practice from laddering
so map pool is now just uses the blizzard ladder maps

Blasterion is gonna give this another shot at this! =D hope to see all of you there =)
|
Sent in registration. Will hope to do better than last tournament. GL all
|
That TLDR made me sad inside...
I'll send in registration when i'm positive i can come.
|
Yay, so looking forward to this!!! Not signing up quite yet but I'll be there for sure. :D Two day tournament is going to be epic.
|
I'm down. The logistics of the 2 day thing might be tough. Not to sound whatever but the bigger the prize pool the better if it's gonna be two day... I have to travel. Also I assume the buy in will contribute to a larger pool?
All that being said, last time was so much fun that even if the pool was 10$ I'd be there. Probably one of the best gaming experiences of my life.

Yessir, the buy-in is to help make the trip more worthwhile for a good amount of the players 
On an unrelated note, still no zerg sign-ups...
Edit: Spoke too soon.
|
Zergs are all gonna sign up as one. The great and all knowing overmind instructs us to sign up en mass in order to lul the feeble terran and protoss into a false sense of security!
Or they just didn't see the thread yet, your choice.
|
^third choice, half the entrants will switch to zerg on the last day

I'll try not to get knocked out the first round again. T_T, and about the 2 day part, that might be a little tough to do since some of us life pretty far away o_o.
side note : yay for no ICCup maps :D.

Depends how willing you are to have fun really. No one will really avoid you cause of age, only if you act like a complete moron. Even if you don't play it's still always fun to watch the games and just meet new people who have a common interest. No one is really gonna judge you based on your sc2 skills, unless you have some stupid inflated view of yourself and think you are gods gift to SC2.
If you like starcraft and you want to meet new people come.
Also don't be shy, it'll hurt you in the long run. Not saying to be a complete asshat all the time with no restraint, but there's really no reason to be shy.
As long as you don't just stay in 1 area and not speak to anyone, you will be fine in the end. Most of the people at the lan actually know each by now so if you befriend at least 1 person you should meet the rest of the lan.
Just make sure you stay away from certified. He's a big poopy head.

I'll sign up in the morning. Not sure if I can come yet, but I'll do my best. I really need to find more work so I can actually afford to go out with everyone after these kick-ass events. FML I am ppoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor.

Finally going to able to make a tourney at cybercraft.

Why do I have a feeling I will be eliminated by pokebunny again? :/

Honestly if anyone is getting poke first round again i'm willing to bet its PeT. He seems to have the worst luck there.

Is this true? :D I'd like to see Poke's little brother attend one tournament, practice a bit, and then beat Poke at the next tournament.
Everyone knows the younger brother always turns out to be more popular.

And TLO. really? I thought day9 was older... And i think we can all agree i had to worst luck these past 2 tourneys. Poke in first tournament, then ZoW in the second. I got blink raped on match point like 4 times last tourney... I got it this one though.

And TLO. But doesn't it sound cool? I can totally see myself publishing a manga: Every Month for pride, for honor, for glory Players Fight and Fight and Fight. Whether they may be Terran Zerg or Protoss. This is the Cybercraft Cup... At this time.... One man over shadowed by his Brother, a "so high level" SC2 Player, seeks to overcome and become the man on the top.
cut scenes AHHHH HE IS MICROING THAT ZEALOT 9 KILLS 10 KILLS!! AHHHH IT"S A HEROOO ZEALOT!!!!!!!! I don't know who this mysterious person is but he isn't any ordinary player!!!!
I will take you down with my ultimate technique! the Omni Proxy Gate Rush!!!!
Doesn't this sound like a cool shounen manga setting?
|
Manga plots come down 2 3 categories.
1. "missfit hero who grows stronger at random intervals just in time to defeat X opponent who starts out stronger then him" -Every shonen manga ever
2. "3-5 Cute highschool teen girls enjoying X hobby while just acting cute..." -Every Moeblob manga ever
3. "wtf" -Bobobo bo bobobobobo -Legend of Koizumi
But as far as SC2 as a manga story...no...Sports manga are just way to niche and theres really no way to implement the "supernatural" element that's usually there in sports manga, ie: Hikaru no go, Prince of tenis, Inazuma 11.
|
sooo like the roster has some pretty big names... perhaps poke is finally gonna get put into losers bracket 
unless of course those names decide to be like slog and sleep instead of showing up, lol

I might just get eliminated quick so I can do casting more than anything.

Thats my plan. Also I told cert about this but i still think if computers are permitting that it would be a good idea to cast on a separate computer. Honestly if they make us pay I would be willing to use my time for it. This way the casters can talk as they wish without the need to worry about the feedback. Also it'll kbe easier to get decent sound out on the speakers without abusing mic boast, which makes the mics sound iffy on the stream.
But that's if we even stream. If not then just use the mics.

I agree with this idea. There will definitely be more organized streaming this time around. Will work on the details of that after finals :D

I'm willing to just cast if you guys would prefer. I need to train and play a lot so I can get my understanding of the game up to current styles, but, I'd be pretty happy being like a solid caster the whole time.

Can someone confirm that Cybercraft is on Northern Blvd between Bowne St and Parsons Blvd?
Google maps gets confused when I try to search 141-20 Northern Blvd. Flushing, NY, 11354 but Bing (wtf) is telling me its between Bowne and Parsons.
Before I sign up I just want to confirm I know where it is so I can figure out how long it'll take to get there.
Thanks!

Yeah I dunno whats up with google maps, It doesn't seem to want to find me the place whenever I try and search for it.
I just click the next closest one. Its all the same stop on the 7 train anyways

yeah, google maps screws it up, but bing gets its right. check it out if you need directions (add to OP maybe?):

Yeah we'll talk to the tech guy about that. He switched us to higher uploading bandwidth in the middle of the tournament last time (not the reason why it almost dropped everyone) because of the stream. The bandwidth should be sufficient, but the computers seem to get random spazzes of "Waiting for Server" these days, even without a million people logged on at once.

Sean "Day[9]" Plott gave an open invitation for people to friend him on facebook over the summer. This put him at the 5000 friend cap in about a day, so more people (see: his actual friends) couldn't friend him. So, he basically purged about 4300 friends. Somehow, myself and btway managed to survive.

Sean "Day[9]" Plott gave an open invitation for people to friend him on facebook over the summer. This put him at the 5000 friend cap in about a day, so more people (see: his actual friends) couldn't friend him. So, he basically purged about 4300 friends. Somehow, myself and btway managed to survive. a day lol
more like a few months

You can cast from home on Day 2 if you like. Anytime you want. It'll be the 30-second-lag cast over livestream where you try to predict what is actually happening on the screen :D

Will there be some sort of seeding based on ladder rating or even previous nyc tournament result based seeding?

No seeding for another few tournaments.

Why
|
On December 01 2010 05:38 Pokebunny wrote:Why 
Seeding people by ladder points is not the same as seeding based on previous tournament results. There are some very high level ladder players this time around who have never competed here before. There might also be very experienced tournament players who don't ladder quite as much. Eventually we'll seed by previous tournament results, so give it some time.

yeahhhh sign me up why not

I was bored at work today so here are the stats for the first 49 registrants:
Racial Distribution: 17 Protoss, 17 Zerg, 13 Terran, 1 Random
+ Show Spoiler +
Note: If sc2ranks.com came up with multiple results for the same id (case sensitive) I just took the highest ranked 1v1 profile.
Also, can someone explain to me how to preserve formatting? I had to screenshot the table because the forum stripped all the spaces out.
Edit: Updated Coldwave's race.

Nice chart, though we only have one random player right now (Coldwave picked Terran). Now if only Reborn would sign up so we can watch a crazy match between Newborn and Reborn.

Great job on making the custom ranking. Hope this gives motivation to players to improve, instead of "fuck it! not worth it".
|
Hm....tempting, might have to sign up. Generally how long does the tournament last (say if you lost both winners/losers bracket first round - or made it to semi finals)? 4-5 Hours?
|
What's the policy on food/drink? Can spectators booze while they watch? I'm guessing not but just wanted to check.

@photon: it runs approximately 7 hours for a 32 man double elim tournament.
@newborn: no booze at the place. you'll have to pregame.

SO I mentioned this in a couple of places but maybe this is another place to mention it.
Looking to make a TL.Net NYC stream for all of you who play in, or who're interested in the late games we do. I'd make it in hopes that it'd also be used for the tourneys, and for the fun we just generally have. I made one on LiveStream. I'm hoping to give the user/pass to trustworthy people, and would only use it for when TL NY gets together and does games.
Anyone support this or disagree with this?
Edit: This would really come into play AFTER finals. Since I have no time before then =D

tournament is gonna be 2 days, both days expecting to be until 6-7pm-ish maybe a bit shorter on the 2nd day
if you lose both winners and losers bracket first round you'd be looking at maybe 30min to an hour, depending on how long ur games are
if you make it to semi finals expect to play all day first day and most of the second day

I really like the idea of us having our own ladder league. I didn't know you could do that with sc2ranks. Very awesome. Now I have another ladder to climb >_<

Should just quit WoW, total timewaster and totally boring.
Cataclysm will just waste even more time. Play a game that takes skill and effort rather than mindlessly grinding and yelling on vent.

Last time I’m gonna seriously argue this point on WoW. No one. NO ONE, except arena players, play WoW for a challenge or because it requires skill. The skill cap on WoW is really low, but it isn't meant to be a competitive environment. Only the best of the best guilds compete for first kills, but even then I think they understand that most of them just have dedication over other players rather than skill.
We play WoW because of the community. Guilds can actually form very strong friendships, a lot like this LAN group, and that is what makes us come back to play more. We play not to down new content alone. We play to down new content with the friends we've made in game. These are people we toiled with to learn new content. People you've shared triumphs and failures over. And usually people you've had fun playing with for the last few months to years.
Now that's if you are in a good guild. This is a rare experience amongst the 11 million players. The players who get into large guilds and just raid with random guild mates they never form bonds with. They are the ones who eventually quit the game and go around saying how boring it is. It is not a fair judgment to not "play" the game then critique its entertainment. To put in perspective, imagine someone who has only played 4v4 bronze level play in starcraft saying the game is no fun and he can't understand why people play. That can be due to multiple reasons, Preference in game, Personal experience differing from the norm. But the likely reason is that he didn't experience the "game". The "real" game that we all experience.
We all understand that as far as execution goes it is all scripted. It is a dance. Always the same, always performing the same actions in set times. However that doesn't make it any less appealing to players. It isn't about the difficulty of the "dance" it's about the flawless execution and "performance" of that dance that gives a sense of accomplishment. Yes after a while it loses its flare, but that's where new content comes it. Another dance to learn, master and execute.
Also I don't know bout you but for most games I play I place my enjoyment far above anything else. Yes it's great to be competitive and to be able to play with skill and confidence. But if you aren't having fun what's the point?
Now that obviously doesn't apply to pro gamers. That's their living. They can afford to place their skills and the competition above their own personal enjoyment of the game. But at the start fun was what drove them.
My time spent in WoW has NEVER felt wasted in the sense that I would wish I never played. Every late night raid, every early morning PvP romp was a joy to experience. Not because of the content but because of the people I was experiencing the content with. WoW is the pure refined essence of "It'll always be more fun with friends"
tl:dr- WoW is about the friends not about the skill, effort, grind or yelling.
Edit: Now with improved spelling and grammar!

That was a very well-mannered rant. No but I agree, I always had fun playing WoW because of my RL and internet friends i played with. once they quit so did I. I didn't see the point.

Hmm which context would be best? Naruto? Twilight? or maybe Harry Potter

Agreed. When my guild quits i'll prolly quit with em. Most likely they will hop to a new MMO to feed their addictions...Maybe Firefall.

You need 0 lag and a good guild to enjoy it. Taking 1 hit = death in that game. It's literally impossible to try and "catch up" on levels since there's no level cap.
so yeah, train my evie pls. Turns out I'm going staff cus my friend went scythe already.

Both are fine and both get Golem so it's ok. Scyth evie is prolly the second best solo character but she does less damage then a real good spear lann. Staff evie can heal that means she is auto win.
Also i actually have stuff to do on vindictus now+not having that uch time anymore=Nu!
Actually you ARE getting on eonce every 4 days to spend your meditation right?
On topic: Anyone plan to exclusivly cast? If so we need to get Headsets if we are going with the off comp setup. And likely the computers should have 2 inputs so there shouldn't be the 1 usb min limit.

Mkays, you can have your very own livestream account and cast with your very own headset on your very own computer. Not on the tv though.

well its better to know the roster is full and to have a decent backup list the sooner the better, last minute changes are the most annoying things in the world
yes, there is really no rush since there's so much time left before the event its just for peace of mind, lol

It'd probably work better if you wait for a day where his mood is a grinning face or something (which will most probably be later tonight). Anyhoo so long as he can handle it, it's fine. The early preparations make everything run a lot smoother, and this is still only 64 people.

holy crap kibibits alive!
Not splitting bracket duty, one its a ton of paper, and two it leaves too much room for error
everything works smoothly if theres only one person everyone reports to, having two copies of the brackets with different chunks of info missing because the reports are split will only cause confusion
during the single elim. tourney, everyone reported to me OR lisa and she ended having an incorrect bracket
I'll take care of running the tourney, dont worry about it

Did I mention I put in the request in last night like 2 before Chill closed it? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=145584¤tpage=70#1396AND THAT IM A BALLER?
That is so ridiculously baller of you :D

On December 04 2010 01:24 dgReborn wrote: Last time I’m gonna seriously argue this point on WoW. No one. NO ONE, except arena players, play WoW for a challenge or because it requires skill. The skill cap on WoW is really low, but it isn't meant to be a competitive environment. Only the best of the best guilds compete for first kills, but even then I think they understand that most of them just have dedication over other players rather than skill.
We play WoW because of the community. Guilds can actually form very strong friendships, a lot like this LAN group, and that is what makes us come back to play more. We play not to down new content alone. We play to down new content with the friends we've made in game. These are people we toiled with to learn new content. People you've shared triumphs and failures over. And usually people you've had fun playing with for the last few months to years.
Now that's if you are in a good guild. This is a rare experience amongst the 11 million players. The players who get into large guilds and just raid with random guild mates they never form bonds with. They are the ones who eventually quit the game and go around saying how boring it is. It is not a fair judgment to not "play" the game then critique its entertainment. To put in perspective, imagine someone who has only played 4v4 bronze level play in starcraft saying the game is no fun and he can't understand why people play. That can be due to multiple reasons, Preference in game, Personal experience differing from the norm. But the likely reason is that he didn't experience the "game". The "real" game that we all experience.
We all understand that as far as execution goes it is all scripted. It is a dance. Always the same, always performing the same actions in set times. However that doesn't make it any less appealing to players. It isn't about the difficulty of the "dance" it's about the flawless execution and "performance" of that dance that gives a sense of accomplishment. Yes after a while it loses its flare, but that's where new content comes it. Another dance to learn, master and execute.
Also I don't know bout you but for most games I play I place my enjoyment far above anything else. Yes it's great to be competitive and to be able to play with skill and confidence. But if you aren't having fun what's the point?
Now that obviously doesn't apply to pro gamers. That's their living. They can afford to place their skills and the competition above their own personal enjoyment of the game. But at the start fun was what drove them.
My time spent in WoW has NEVER felt wasted in the sense that I would wish I never played. Every late night raid, every early morning PvP romp was a joy to experience. Not because of the content but because of the people I was experiencing the content with. WoW is the pure refined essence of "It'll always be more fun with friends"
tl:dr- WoW is about the friends not about the skill, effort, grind or yelling.
Edit: Now with improved spelling and grammar! Honestly, I think this whole thing is just from your personal perspective, because to 90% of the players that I have known, this is all wrong. Saying the skill cap is low is insane, I HIGHLY doubt you have ever come close to Light of Dawn, Algalon, 1 Light, Firefighter, and some of the ICC Hardmodes where VERY hard, and saying they took 'low' skill when you don't have them on farm week to week is just mind blowing. The content is easy NOW because of the nerfs to ICC to help people who are bad at the game see the end of the game, Blizzard has done this as well in Burning Crusade, it's nothing new, and jesus, Sunwell was DAMN hard.
As for friends: Yes, I have friends, but I don't raid/play with them anymore, why? Because we broke up to play with BETTER guilds, to see higher content. Saying that guilds are all about friends and all is again, wrong, because when a game gets to the point where to fill out an Application, AND sometimes have an informal interview on vent for a spot in a 25 man guild, that is really showing how they are looking for players that are willing to put in effort, and not take a walk in the park.
Example: If I was a terrible WoW player, I gemmed crit, I used PvP gear to raid, etc etc, and I applied to a top US guild saying "I'm the GM's friend, lol" You would never get a spot. So you saying that there is no effort in WoW, is honestly ridiculous.
Finally: When you ask what's the point of playing when you don't have fun, it comes down to being better than other people. Playing competitvly is not always a walk in the park, do you think every single pro-gammer in the world doesn't have days where he wishes he could be outside with his friends instead of practicing on a 10-14 hour practice schedule? But when they endure said grind, the satisfaction as a whole is what drives them, it's the motivation of possibility, and them wanting to have the biggest fraction of 'possibility' for any player, is what makes us want to, or have to, play.

the reason i think it's dumb is because of this:
other than friends, world of warcraft has like no redeeming qualities. it's mostly thoughtless and just playing for hours on end just to level up / get gear. the only thing stopping a person from being good at WoW is having a life. as long as you play a shitton and take 5 seconds to do some research every time you have problems, you will no longer have problems.
starcraft requires excellent hand speed, critical thinking/analysis, creativity, and it has an unreachable skill cap. no matter how much you play, there will always be better players.

PvE in WoW is only hard once. It's like every other game, once you 'get' it, its boringly easy. Starcraft on the other hand is hard no matter what you do.
I played WoW until shortly after ICC came out. I PvE'd until ToC and did get 25m ulduar drakes, tribute to insanity, before the 3.3. I also starting PvPing in WOTLK and got Gladiator as a warlock in s6/7. I quit because I just got bored of the game. The fact is, even at the highest levels the skill cap IS low and once you learn a little about the threads on elitistjerks, the only barrier to entry is time.
When the SC2 beta came out I completely dropped WoW because I realised that there isn't any point in WoW. Starcraft requires real skills, with real rewards and real applications. Like Blixy, I was playing WoW for the competition, but WoW is a terrible competition. It's certainly great to be able to say, 'I'm better than him', but once i saw that all it took for me to be better than him was learning to press the right one of my 5 or 6 buttons, I saw what a waste of time it was.
Anyways,,,,, about this whole two day thing. How is it gonna work? Is there a schedule or is that still being worked on? Just asking because I'll definately be there on saturday, but on sunday I might have to leave early. Will we know by the end of day1 if we have to be there day2?

I'm just guessing that if you weren't knocked out by the end of day 1 you should be there for day 2 /shrug. That's my assumption but my assumptions have always been wrong so who kows

Yeah I guess I'm just wondering if say, you were in the losers bracket going in to day 2, would it fuck too much stuff up if you werent there? XD

The moment I am playing a game and I am no longer enjoying it in the slightest, I don't care if I was a pro - I would quit. I cannot possibly imagine a scenario in which you continue to play WoW even though you want to be doing something else. Pros are in it for the money if they don't enjoy it but still play it. What would be any of our excuses...

If you are still in the tournament by the time the first day comes to an end then you will need to show up for the second day
There will be winners bracket and losers bracket games played on the first day, going to try to get through as many games as reasonably possible
The cut off point for the transition to the second day is still undecided and most likely won't be decided on until the actual event gets underway
NOTE: please stop arguing about WoW on this thread, I'm sure there are other threads that are better suited for your discussion, and if you really want to go at it you can always create a team speak user channel and yell at each other about it there

The last correspondence I've had with them is them asking for a clarification on what date the tournament will be (at the time I didn't have this thread up) and me emailing back twice asking about the merchandise. Chances are, they saw that it was fairly far away and moved it lower on the priorities list. If they don't respond within another two weeks, I'll give them a call.

I realize that some people probably won't be able to make it the second day, so any type of raffle drawing will be held on the first day. Speaking of which, the 5 dollar buy-in also gives you a raffle ticket, so spectators can chip in for the prize pool too and have a chance at a prize. However, this still depends on how many keyboards Das is giving us.

Wanting to play with PTR and all that is fine, and we can play and stream those games, it doesnt matter to me
but everyone keep in mind the tournament is still being played with normal balance changes not with the new ones in the patch test. At least for the time being thats the case, we play on whatever patch is up to date so if they make the patch official before the event then thats what we'll play on

So it turns out that we have 21 Protoss, 22 Terran, 20 Zerg, and 1 Random playing in this tournament. Love the evenness of that :D

That patch will be released by the end of 2010, as blizzard said chat channels would be out by then

No work load. Bored. Need entertainment till 1pm...
So what's the plan on casters. We goin with the off comp setup to better the quality of the sound? We have an established stream now which capped out at 50 or so 2 nights ago so i do think we can get alot more viewers this time around.
Edit: Speaking of which should we make one of those lil promotional cover images that every cast seems to have that covers their replay timer/etc etc.

from the looks of things we'll have a separate comp for casters
Most likely the corner 4 comps will be the casters + admin computers that we'll use for the updating online brackets, advertising and other random stuff, lol
I will try to do the final poster tonight, from that we can crop the title out to make the promotional banner to cover the side stuff, we'll see what happens
Also what program do they use to do the overlay?

Edit: Speaking of which should we make one of those lil promotional cover images that every cast seems to have that covers their replay timer/etc etc.
from the looks of things we'll have a separate comp for casters Most likely the corner 4 comps will be the casters + admin computers that we'll use for the updating online brackets, advertising and other random stuff, lol I will try to do the final poster tonight, from that we can crop the title out to make the promotional banner to cover the side stuff, we'll see what happens Also what program do they use to do the overlay?

I can't check the link cus I'm on my phone, but I'm guessing you're talking about the header thing. The second version of it is still a work in progress and I've heard that the gosugamer version is still fairly glitchy. However, this was a month ago.

we'll get what we can and test everything out on the livestream when schamtoo is free

Am i doing this right?
Edit; Also, livestream verified me. I now have the ability for UNLIMITED POWER -- I mean viewers.
|
lmao! that looks about right
|
I was going to suggest using that for next tournament but forgot, glad it was brought up and seems to be working.
Now should I root for Reborn or Is.Lame? Hmm..
|
Obviously root for Is.Lame, because that's rooting for reborn being lame. Rooting for reborn just roots for him, that's BAD. VERY BAD

is anyone else shocked at the near perfect divide of races participating?

Thats even better.
A question I have: Are we using the custom division thingy to seed players for brakets? or is it purely there for fun and to give an Idea of who is favored?

seeding is undecided yet, seeding will be done in the future but im not deal with seeding points or anything for now
when we do seeding, points will be based on events, starting from this one ill look back at the brackets and stuff to see how many series people win or just see who placed the top 5 or watever
Bracket for this even has alrdy been created, its completely random SC2Ranks division is just so u can see whos and stuff

Why are we not including results from the first two tournaments in seeding?

we may or may not include them, but for now its only this event and forward
the previous events were very small, not everyone who wanted to participate could make it and they were mainly used for testing ideas out for this event

Hi everyone just a quick announcement. Final got pushed forward so i can do this earlier.
Thursday(12/9/10) at 9pm I will be casting games.
Please, only go up for a game if you are Diamond!! (It's very hard to cast bronze games) If you wish to play get in contact with me with a PM otherwise I'll take em as they come.
Edit: Also, if you can get 10 viewers on my stream, personal shoutouts in order!!
And link for reference: http://www.livestream.com/nycteamliquidnet?t=391952 <--- Note new fancy Banner!

red text is red and super serious!!

Exceptions will be allowed then =D Obvi like if someone like Nesh, who back when he was at our first tourney was platinum, is an example case. But without vouchers, i'm not taking in any lower than diamond.

i think anyone who registered should be allowed to play, most are diamond level anyways
|
Its Schamus' call as its his stream, but I kinda agree with Certified here.
|
Schamus is a poopy head and thus should not have power over his stream!
I think schamus implied that registered would play. It's just we had some viewers come play and the games were...interesting? yeh thats the best way to put it...

lol ur a poopy head reborn, always calling ppl poopy heads
and yea the restriction is mainly because last time there were some games that were dragged out that really didnt need to be
|
Anyone can play... Registered or not, haha I don't care that much. But i'd much prefer Diamond skill level and above!
Notice how I worded that, not that you need to be in diamond, but the skill level should be that of diamond, just because we had those few games that were drawn out and kinda killed the flow. No offense to those players, but we all like watching the really exciting games.
=D
And yes, I'm a poopy head.
|
I demand schamtoo's nametag have Big Poopy Head written on it.
In fact not only will i try to make a tinfoil mouse, I am going to go out and make a sculpture of schamtoo the poopy head.
Or not

Anyone notice btways mood sticks out like a sore thumb amongst ours?

Is this tourny going to be like a monthly thing? Because I am like omega excited! :D

haha sweet my game is on replay on the stream ^^ Btw I walled in because he was random, scared of zerg, was unlucky scouting and found him last :D and have faith i aint no cheater xD

I agree with the diamond rule. Not like people can't play together outside of his casts if they wish. It is REALLY hard to cast when the players are playing completely cluelessly. Plat I guess is also fine.

Diamond skill level and above? Is anyone here in Master League? Is anyone here in Master League? Master?
AND YES, I'll bring cupcakes again Reborn. Maybe brownies for you too.

In fear of sounding off topic, but we did have a big discussion of this.
We We're Right.
We would like to thank everyone for their participation thus far in the first StarCraft 2 public test. We’re in the process of temporarily taking down the PTR in order to apply changes based on your feedback and testing.
Some of the changes we’re working on implementing:
Bunker build time reduction removed as previously noted
Fungal Growth’s terrestrial limitation has been removed and the ability once again affects air units
It will once again be possible to hold down a key to repeat a hotkey command
This down time is expected to start tomorrow at noon, 12:01 p.m. PST and last for approximately 2-3 days. Keep an eye on this forum for updates on when you can rejoin the Public Test Region and begin testing the newest changes.
Thanks for your help!

I'll definitely be there on Thrusday, but I'll probably won't be able to play very late.
|
I want to watch one of my games that has been casted. we need to find a way to record/save those. We can create a youtube channel or something
|
well the entire stream is saved on the actual live stream as a VoD. All 5 hours of it. But if we wanted to create a youtube channel we should really have someone else record it with Fraps. The quality of the stream will always be worse the a recording so if someone has the space and time for that they are free to do so.
you can even set it up to capture schams poopy head casting.
|
Nice, maybe a few others are in reach too
|
too many ppl to quote, so just gonna reply
The plan is to have a monthly tournament, on months during break there may occasionally be LAN's where we all just play for fun. No prize pool or tournament will be organized by me or btway ahead of time for LAN events.
spaceghost, stop asking whos in masters league, lol, it wasnt only entertaining that one night while we were high from lack of sleep
reborn doesnt deserve anything cuz hes a big poopy head who doesnt do anytihng but idle on team speak and play WoW
think there was more to reply to but too lazy to go back and check

Okay, so Chill changed my Stream over to LiveStream, unfortunately he's not looking to change the name from Schamus's Stream to NYC TL.Net just because if he did it for me, he'd do it for everyone. I'm looking forward to when he wants to make an exception of that rule because we get so many viewers.
SO until then, just point everyone to Schamus's Stream =D
|
This is the fewest posts per day this thread has had since creation...And on the day where I was half dead from sleep deprevation...yall suck.
Just like to mention that i think the casters should bring their own headsets/microphones. The ones at cybercraft are pretty lackluster in comfort and quality. I would also honestly but a limit on crap mics like those 20$ logitec ones or a rockband mic but that's not up to me.
|
I'm bringing my Sennheiser PC350's...the ultimate in quality, comfort, and communication.
Buy yours now and get a free "Reborn is Lame" TShirt when you register your product with Schamus and get 10 extra viewers on stream. =D

anywho, we'll just make sure all publicity for the stream will use the url that links to ur stream on TL

Meh. It'll all be worth it when I change my name to Schamtoo.
I am actually waiting for him to change hisname so i know what to change mine to.

I'll probably end up bringing my headset as well, if any casters need an extra one.

OK now that im at work i can spend the next hour writing up a very long post on why i think Cataclysm is gods gift to WoW players. Keep in mind that this is only from 3 levels of experiencem and even then only Vashjir and the first half of hyjal. Also because i'm nice i will not infest this thread
Note that if you play WoW i'm pretty much gonna spoil the fuck out of Vashjir, which surprisingly alot of my friends don't like. I'm guessing its cause they play melee classes.
+ Show Spoiler +Where to start. Well let's start where I started. Got on the boat to Vashjir confused as to why i'm getting on a boat to start with. Then damnz. The first major shift in style from everything that has come before reared it's head. WoTLK had some usage of in game cutscenes but it seems like blizzard is really trying to drive home the cinematic nature of the story now. The first 5 minutes gave me a scene where a captain is rallying his forces on a boat in order to fight the horde. Then promptly a cutscene ensures where we are attacked by the god damn kracken. At that point control of the camera is taken from the player and we are shown a scene very much like the scene from Pirates of the Caribian where we are given a very very wide shot of the beast. It was overwhelming how well the shots were made. This scene itself made me anticipate the wonders that would come on a visual standpoint for Vashjir.
Throughout the zone there are a shitton more of these smaller cutscenes. These can be as small as a zoom in on the Jaws parody while he is exploding. Or as large as the scene in Throne of Tides, where it shows the kraken reappearing to attack. But even outside the great cinematic value of the scenes the actual visual aspects of cataclysm are breathtaking.
Vashjir is unbelievable in it's depiction of underwater life. It is very much like leveling in the world of a Little Mermaid if the fish were much much more dangerous. Also you get a seahorse mount. Come the fuck on who the hell doesn't want to ride a mother fucken seahorse.
Now onto what i think of the gameplay changes. Outside of class changes and the occasional bugged quest i have to say it's extremely streamlined. The quests are of the norm, Kill, Gather, Other. But the way they try to implement as little "kill x then return" quests is apperent. They try to make it so that it's more then just killing things. It's killing things to do X. It does add a lot to how you see the story as a whole.
Dungeons. It's what breaths life into the monotony that is questing. Now on this note i've only done Thrones and Stonecore. One notable change tho is that you actually cannot queue for a dungeon you havn't entered normally at least once. So it's a good idea to head to the entrances at the earliest convenience in order to queue while leveling.
ToT is a rather boring instance however. Very Very few pulls, i think around 6 trash pulls in total for the whole dungeon. And the bosses are rather boring as well. Altho it's not fair to compare them difficulty wise to raids, there are just to few mechanics in a fight and to many of them can just be ignored. Overall if it wasn't for the cinematic showing the kraken and the rather amusing mind control squid fight i would say this dungeon is really really lackluster.
Stonecore on the other hand is fun. Just fun.Strikes a nice balance of difficulty as far as gear checking and perception checking. And is always fun to chase down a old friend turned enemy.
Now as far as if it was worth it. Yes. Yes it was. If you are comming straight from BC to Cata then it might not be as big a deal, but the cinematic changes are nice. But comming from the regretably lackluster WoTLK to Cata is just an unbelievable change. Everything, EVERYTHING was improved. Also if you are leveling a new character even better. Some areaes got more changes then others but the changes in geography are still a joy to see if you are from the vanilla days.

But comming from the regretably lackluster WoTLK to Cata is just an unbelievable change. Everything, EVERYTHING was improved. Also if you are leveling a new character even better. Some areaes got more changes then others but the changes in geography are still a joy to see if you are from the vanilla days.
Hats off to you reborn for typing that whole thing out, [also really appreciate the spoiler to hide the size of your essay] I think its cool you're willing to put that much effort into defending/recommending WoW and all (I do realize you're just epically bored at work)
But god damn man, you've way out done newborn and his list of people competing for the event, however I do have to say, newborn's efforts contribute to the topic of this thread
Although this is a community thread for us and all, it's still a starcraft 2 tournament thread I'm pretty sure there are WoW threads that are better suited for your essay

Well you are a big poopy head!
but yeh the reason i post it here is because it is directed specifically towards the people in the thread asking the WoW questions. It's really not directed towards the general TL community. So i felt posting it in the WoW forums would be pointless.

Then damnz. The first major shift in style from everything that has come before reared it's head. WoTLK had some usage of in game cutscenes but it seems like blizzard is really trying to drive home the cinematic nature of the story now. The first 5 minutes gave me a scene where a captain is rallying his forces on a boat in order to fight the horde. Then promptly a cutscene ensures where we are attacked by the god damn kracken. At that point control of the camera is taken from the player and we are shown a scene very much like the scene from Pirates of the Caribian where we are given a very very wide shot of the beast. It was overwhelming how well the shots were made. This scene itself made me anticipate the wonders that would come on a visual standpoint for Vashjir.
Throughout the zone there are a shitton more of these smaller cutscenes. These can be as small as a zoom in on the Jaws parody while he is exploding. Or as large as the scene in Throne of Tides, where it shows the kraken reappearing to attack. But even outside the great cinematic value of the scenes the actual visual aspects of cataclysm are breathtaking.
Vashjir is unbelievable in it's depiction of underwater life. It is very much like leveling in the world of a Little Mermaid if the fish were much much more dangerous. Also you get a seahorse mount. Come the fuck on who the hell doesn't want to ride a mother fucken seahorse.
Now onto what i think of the gameplay changes. Outside of class changes and the occasional bugged quest i have to say it's extremely streamlined. The quests are of the norm, Kill, Gather, Other. But the way they try to implement as little "kill x then return" quests is apperent. They try to make it so that it's more then just killing things. It's killing things to do X. It does add a lot to how you see the story as a whole.
Dungeons. It's what breaths life into the monotony that is questing. Now on this note i've only done Thrones and Stonecore. One notable change tho is that you actually cannot queue for a dungeon you havn't entered normally at least once. So it's a good idea to head to the entrances at the earliest convenience in order to queue while leveling.
ToT is a rather boring instance however. Very Very few pulls, i think around 6 trash pulls in total for the whole dungeon. And the bosses are rather boring as well. Altho it's not fair to compare them difficulty wise to raids, there are just to few mechanics in a fight and to many of them can just be ignored. Overall if it wasn't for the cinematic showing the kraken and the rather amusing mind control squid fight i would say this dungeon is really really lackluster.

Someone's trying to get some sort of TL mod. status...... When they ask that interview question about whether or not they would discriminate for friends we all know what Certified's answer will be.... lolol
Anyways. Is there any word as to whether or not there is going to be a prize pool? or will it just be Das Accessories (still would be pretty happy with that)

Yes the buy-in goes directly to the prize pool. I'm going to have to call up Das soon since they aren't responding to my emails. Cybercraft will not be throwing in extra cash this time since they've been sponsoring us for two tournaments already. Still looking for more sponsors and waiting on replies.

O_O surprised they wouldn't sponsor the bigger tournament.

They need to sustain their business too. Netcafes aren't exactly all the rage these days. I went to look for bigger sponsors to let them keep as much as they can.

Thursday is hardly middle of the week...

Can someone else advertise on /r/starcraft this time? I feel spammy trying to submit more or less thesame link twice.

LOLs i just advertised on husky's facebook, lol
Edit:
Stream didn't have that many viewers tonight, might be due to the fact that its a random day in the middle of the week, might be because there wasn't enough advertising, or it might be because there weren't a lot of epic games or motivation to play the games
I want this stream to have the viewership to be considered for featured stream status, so I'm gonna consider organizing an online tournament to be streamed
gotta do some planning and find out when schamtoo is free and how big this online tournament is going to be
for now the prize for this online tournament is bragging rights, epic epic bragging rights

I think the timing in general was also bad for a lot of people too, since it's near the end of the semester and everyone's preparing for finals. Oh, and WoW. :/ Still, it was pretty fun.
Anyway, streaming an online tournament is a great idea!

so there's a tournament buy-in plus u have to pay to play? How much is this gonna cost?

Buy-in is 5$
Pay to play is 4$ an hour of time spent in-game. Most people get by with 2-3hrs of time purchased.... if your going to be playing alot you may need 4+
so I'd say around 13$ - 21$ is around where the average participant will be spending
If you have a membership at the Cafe (20$ and it comes with like 4or5 hrs with signup) each hour cost only 3$
So If you sign up for a member ship and play in the tournament it will cost 25$ with 4 or 5 hrs included
Each additional hour cost 3$ for the remainder of your life.

The same reason why you won't get push to talk.
Anyhoo, if the winner happens to not come to the next event, they'll be waiting months for a ten dollar bill.

Yeah, spectators are always free. There SHOULD also be some free computers so you can play without participating directly in the tournament. But there are always Counter Strike and L4D guys in there playing so Idk

we might have to reserve the whole place for a few hours on the first day, not sure yet, need more planning time
if you are playing in the tournament you will be assigned to a computer, the computer has other games you can play in between tournament games while you're waiting for your opponent

Cybercraft has 68 computers with Starcraft 2 installed. We'll be taking up 64 of those

Please make sure I get a good computer that can run it in Ultra (or will it be EXTREME!!!!!)....
Im like one of the very few people who actually takes advantage of the opportunity to run the game on the highest settings
Actually, just keep me at the computer I've been playing on.

Soooo apparently my stream decided NOT to record after that initial crash. So we only have the first one. Boo, cause we had a couple of good games going on.

we should just stream every so often no matter what were doing just to keep on-air time up and going
we'll just advertise the stream when we plan to have something epic go on

I demand we have a well thought out and informed round table debate about...pokemon v Digimon. That would drag in viewers from all over!
|
Is there really an argument there between Pokemon and Digimon? Lol, and I swear... if someone sings the Digimon song again... I'm going to have Certified punch them in the face. It was stuck in my head for days last time.
Mister Bucket.

I guarantee you guys will never get featured. I don't know why you're trying to hard, just stream when you want to. o_O
|
Yeah... i mean some of the people playing are good but to get featured you need a fuckton of viewers and really awesome content.
Should just chill and stream and see where it goes. Focus on the games and casting and tech issues being good first imo, viewers will follow ^^

OOOH LOOK A SHINY OBJECT :D oh fuck 500 minerals.

All this naysaying.. sheesh. And I think we all know that this TL NY thing could get a lot bigger than it is. I mean, it's New York for pete's sake we should be able to get a couple hundred people to view it easily, and with viewing the stream, come to our lans.
And once the LANs get bigger than even this december thing, we could turn it into a giant thing and make it all the way to MLG status!
I wanna be the very best! Like no one ever was~!
|
MLG status? I think you mean GSL status. Times ten.
|
Regardless, I think we should all be very uplifting of the possibilities to come out of what we're starting here. The slowly growing tournaments size is indicative, and with this, I'm finding more people who don't even know a thing about SC2 are tuning into the stream, and becoming "fascinated" by it.
SC2 is becoming a spectator sport, by mixing the communities of the stream and the LAN's can we grow to being a bigger entity. This is why i've started the stream
|
yeah we'll all be making millions of ESPORTS dollars real soon with this
|
This stream is totally gonna get feature one day, its so possible its gonna happen
No reason not to be optimistic about it, and we are gonna make the New York community as big as humanly possible 
also gonna join in on the yawning, lol

I streamed ~10-12 hours on my stream this weekend and barely got up to 50 viewers by Sunday. It's a hard life.

Re: my stream chat
Please cut the bullshit. Don't troll me, don't troll other people there, and have common sense. You got banned because you were an ass to both me and itakmar (who eventually got banned for certain comments as well). My stream is serious playing, I'm one of the higher level streamers and you were making shitty comments while I was playing a bo3 with 3rd in NA. I talk to viewers about my strategies and answer their questions. I do not put up with bullshit flamers/trolls/douches. Please never do that again.

Lol pokebunny rage. So awesome to put a face to the rage

I'm not really mad, just being forceful. It was unacceptable.

I will never stop laughing at the glass being OP as hell. Did you find anymore comments like that on your second read through?
And I should probably sign up for back up soon...

and as for the time on the poster, day one will start check-ins at 12 will edit that in later
day 2's start time will be determined at the end of day 1, might start a little later so people can make it on time and dont have to be dropped after making it so far in the tourney

No worst thing that can happen is I get far enough but not in the money. Meaning i spent more money than i wanted to, played more games than i wanted to, Suffered more stress than i wanted to, and had less time to fool around than i wanted to!

I was actually thinking earlier that we should have a personal introduction thing like we did at the iem dinner right before starting the games. There are too many people I don't know .

Don't worry too much about being the new guy, I think the group of people who know each other and talk a lot is either equal to or less than the newer people anyway...
Also, HOORAY FOR MORE STAR BATTLES and some hopefully better team games.
And man Reborn, what a lame post. 
Edit: An introduction like the one we had at IEM is a good idea Poke. And Smurf, let's hope that mothership/carrier comes out before mass templar/thor/muta/etc. OR you could just zerg rush Poke.

doesnt look like theres that many back up players atm, should i try signing up?

So the farther you get in the tournament the more money you have to pay to the net cafe? I guess if you win it will cancel it out. But really sounds like fun do you know if there is a train station nearby i would want go to a future event, to long to drive but train is manageable.

The amount of money you need will be roughly $25 ($20 for a membership with 4 hours on the computers, and $5 for getting in). It's a bit expensive for most people but it's so much fun it's totally worth it. The 7 goes about 2 blocks before CyberCraft so it's not far a walk; so if you can get to a subway in NYC you can get CyberCraft.

I got a membership there my second time around and my only regret was not getting it the first time. It's well worth it if you ever plan on coming back which you will!

This might be a dumb question: Do people bring laptops to putz around on if they get knocked out early, or to stay warmed up between games? Or are we supposed to just use the LAN center's computers between/after our matches?

I highly doupt that a netcafe, a buisness that makes money off of you using their systems, would allow you to leech their internet for free off your computer =P. They might make some exceptions but that would be for computers for admin work if even that. Def not for playing tho.
It's a buisness you pay to play there.

He's hanging out with a giant group, I sincerely doubt they'd worry about a few dollars out of hundreds.
|
If you let 1 person do it whats stoping 40 from doing it next time? It sets a precedent.
Not only that if they give the password out it puts the chance of it getting out. Meaning they would have to change it just for that one person. It's just a hassel that isnt worth it.

Agreed, and it's a testament to his extreme skill that he's persevered so long. I was half-joking with my original comment, and I don't mean to say Boxer a bad player now by any stretch of the imagination; but even he hit his peak young and has been fading for a while since then (note that the blog post was made in 2008).

Not brilliantly amazing, but nowhere near bad. Agreed, and it's a testament to his extreme skill that he's persevered so long. I was half-joking with my original comment, and I don't mean to say Boxer a bad player now by any stretch of the imagination; but even he hit his peak young and has been fading for a while since then (note that the blog post was made in 2008).
Yeh i can see where you are going with that. Mostly i'm just wowed byt he fact htat it's boxer playing rather then exactly what he is doing. He still has great control and etc etc that made him great. Also I do believe that SC2's "easier" macro mechanics are helping him there.

You may feel old, but that doesn't mean we won't love you. :D
|
How old am I? 22? 23? Whatever, something like that. I'm a senior in college and these kids make ME feel old =\
|
I think I'm still the youngest person playing. My brother doesn't count.
|
I thought you were 47 scham?
Honestly the age gap is anywhere from 15-30 from what I saw. average age being around 20ish give or take.
|
yea im 20... age doesnt matter.
|
Love how everyone's awesome at answering questions for newcomers :D
To paint a picture for the people who haven't been to a SC2 lan party before: it's surreal how everything that goes on relates to Starcraft and nobody has a second thought about talking about their favorite pro-gamers or theorycrafting irl for hours on end. You are your username. (And age/sex/nationality doesn't matter.)
|
Yeah, you're seriously your username. I only know a handful of peoples names offhand, and even then I still refer to people by screenname. Amusingly, it's sometimes a touch confusing when people swap between screennames and between their screenname and real name in conversations (happens with people who know eachother well)
|
Tbh I prefer when people use real names, I like being personal and making real friends.
|
Let's do introductions here if it's only first names :o
Then match usernames to faces irl.
Edit: On second thought, that's a terrible idea. Forgive me, brain isn't working.
|
I actually like to keep my Real life and internet life seperate for the most part. My RL friends are gamers yes, but more of the kind who never care to get that great. Not the most stimulating bunch,
Thing is at the same time I just feel weird when someone I met online calls me by my real name, Don't quite know why and I don't mind, I just feel weird.
Pretty much If someone I know calls me by my real name, I'll call em by their real name. Problem is no one on the internet can ever say my real name in normal conversation at first so I just tend to go as Reborn at all times. That might explain it.

In other news, I think I will be signing up for the TL Open, registrations starts tomorrow at 7pm est.
Assuming I dont get eliminated in RO-512 Should be fun and good practice for our tournament.

|
Ideally I'd def like to start learning people's real names; it's just that at tourneys, I have enough trouble keeping everyone's in-game names straight. Learning only in-game names means half as many names to memorize hehe; though I still feel weird being like "Hi I'm ThunderFlesh." Just introducing myself sounds like I'm hitting on someone.
|
lol so much talk about introductions, all tourney participants will have name tags so that lightens the awkwardness of introducing yourself
as for going in a circle, theres gonna be 70ppl there, not only will we not fit in a circle, its gonna take years, lol everyone can mingle, and if you want to introduce yourself to everyone then go ahead, but I'm not gonna ask everyone to
if you are feeling left out then go talk to someone, there's no reason to feel shy, its an awesome community
and you can always talk to me (as long as theres not a crowd of people reporting results to me and as long as I'm not running around checking up on things... well you can try to run along but that might seem awkward )
Note: Reborn's name is Yun Suk, cuz he sucks
and Reborn is lame

lmfaooo whats with all the hate against Reborn, i'm starting to get a little sympathetic :-\. With school and finals and such I havent played starcraft in like 2 weeks. I feel like im gonna suck. not to mention my computer room is colder than outside. so i cant play one game without arthritis pain in my fingers... i wouldnt mind being seeded against pokebunny or zow first round so i can be put down easy. Or maybe I'm just a masochist.

It's called playground love, PeT :D
Brackets are already generated btw. They're the fairest thing we've seen since the Roach range buff.
Edit: Starting to get worried that Cybercraft might be super duper crowded with 72 people + spectators...
Also, do I need everyone to sign release forms to take stalker-ish photos of them to help me memorize names and faces?

first day is gonna be pretty damn crowded, hopefully there is a good number of people that stay at their computers at a time, lol
second day will probly die down a bit, but i cant be sure of that we'll see how things go

i highly suggest you don't bring your laptop. You will not have access to cybercraft's internet on it.
It will also be very crowded, if you leave it on a table or shelf it could easily by knocked down or damaged
at the event there will be people not from TL that may be random walk-ins that happen to go to cybercraft, I doubt anyone from the starcraft community will attempt to take it but i cant say the same for those walk-ins
There's really no need to bring your laptop but you want to then go ahead

You get your first opponent when you get here, and after most people have arrived, the link will be posted in the OP.
In other words, nowhere because I'm mean

To my knowledge they don't give out brackets until the day of the event

Meh, I've argued the bracket policy since day 1. Makes no sense not to show it if you want a more interesting tournament... More upsets with more preparation. :/
You don't even have to release the character codes if you fear BO stalking.

It'd be an upset either way. I refuse to argue this any further.

probably better this way, might discourage people if they see themselves seeded against some of these top 200 players.

Pokebunny just doesn't want to get knocked out in the first round
|
As much as i hate to put it out on the internet that can never be changed, I highly doupt pokebunny is phased in the least by a good 90% of the participants...seeing as how he's won the cyber craft tourneys 3 times and running -_-.
Now if that was ment as a joke then hazzah i missed it!! and i retract me previous statement.

I won the one ZoW mothership rushed me in the finals. I had to leave early in the one Nesh won, but Zeroes got to the finals and I 2-0'd him right before I left.

@Certified: Yeah after all the comments I'm definitely not bringing my laptop. Knowing me, I'd probably lose it.

Cant believe I missed that one,
*Sighs* Guess there will be no Mothership-rushing of Pokebunny in the finals.... (tries thinking of some other absurdly ridiculous build)

i do marine tank all in every game vs zerg marine banshee raven scv allin vs toss 4 rax scv allin / proxy thor vs terran every game

Thor rush me if you want a free win.

anyone know when its actually gonna be out?

I'm probably one of the oldest there. I'm almost 30 during the tournament :D
And yes age does matter cuz I would be better if I was younger =/
|
Since we have to bring in-ear headphones, are towers easily accessible or are there like extensions of some sort(or should I bring that)? Cause all I have are ipod headphones, and those are about 3feet.
|
The towers are right there next to the monitor in the cubicle, so those headphones should work fine.
|
Speaking of the cubicles, learn to play in extremely confined areas. I do believe each computer gets a bare 2 by 3ish foot area to place your entire setup, including the tower and monitor.

the space is adequate for most people
unless your someone who needs a full mouse pad of movement the space provided is decent or unless u have a huge keyboard, like a german g15, lol

Once again, I disagree with Reborn. My keyboard is usually on my lap and my mouse is on the table, so Cybercraft's setup is much more than enough space.

I had a G110 and it was hell on me when I was playing. About a quarter of my keyboard was off the table to accommodate my mousepad as well. I'm gonna see how my Tenkeyless fits tonight when I go to watch the finals.

Alrighty we got the email this time found it in spam folder because everyone is putting "[battle.net ID]" as the subject the confirmation reply will be send out later on
NOTICE: When we say battle.net ID we mean put YOUR INFO in the subject line if you put "[battle.net ID]" as the subject it will be marked as spam by gmail and we'll never see it
If you signed up with that as the subject line and did not get a confirmation reply, make a post here and let me know so I can check if we got the email

MAJOR CHANGE!!!
Turns out cybercraft is short on computers
Format of the tournament will be two rounds of 32 at the start Meaning there will be two people assigned to each computer
Brackets, seating chart and other shit will be released in the morning of the event around 2am so when you get to cybercraft just look for the links to the stuff in the original post or reminders post
Top half of the brackets will be played followed by the second half for the round of 64 (first round)
If both players assigned to one computer arrive early, please give priority to the player that is higher up in the brackets because he will be playing first
Due to this change, expect both days to be fairly long, and its going to be extremely crowded with 32 people standing around on the first day DO NOT bring random bulky backpacks or luggage (lol), only the essentials
More information will be given when we get closer to the event

Really now. Imma stop by tonight to check things out. Can't we have 60-something people play at once, and then the people who finish first switch out to accommodate the extras?
How low are we on computers and most importantly, why're you making this huge change without telling me D:<

Why's he only letting us reserve 34? Even it's for an hour, it would make things run a lot faster PLUS it guarantees them customers for that one hour. This must be re-settled.
I also told John how many people we would be having for a week now and he hadn't said anything. Gosh.

sooooo, instead of having 64 players all going at once your going to have one set of 32 then the other?
Makes sense, that how the brackets turn out anyway..... Gonna be a bitch with the inclusion of Loser's bracket though....

What stops the rest of the people from just showing up as regular customers and paying for time on computers? This really dosn't make sense. I could see not RESERVING them all but after that it's first come first serve right? So if you are there, ready, and have a computer, then you can play your match.

That's assuming that people get here early, which only a handful do. This IS a 24 hour netcafe after all. It just means that we kick people out who are already there.
|
I'm just saying that even though the computers might not be reserved, if enough of us get there early enough we would be the first on the computers... maybe some wouldn't make it and have to wait but this way we might be able to get some of the matches under way.
Edit: Another thought, perhaps it might be possible to let those know who would be going in the later half of the day so that they don't have to show up so early? I guess this would cause a lot of check in problems.... Ehhhhhhhhhh.
This is gonna be a loooooonnngg day.

I know details are still being worked out, but my $.02:
A lot of people bring their own mice/keyboards, and have different settings for mouse sensitivity, mouse scroll, etc., so for computer sharing, it'd be preferable (I think) to have Player A play a few games, then have Player B play a few games, as opposed to alternating after every single match (i.e. Player A > Player B > Player A > Player B etc.).
Maybe others disagree, but I'd rather hang for a couple of hours watching casted matches, and then play for a couple hours, just to minimize the number of times I have to switch out my equipment and fiddle with my settings until they're close to what I'm used to.
Then again I'm a little anal about such things.

lol i like how u typed two cents
I completely agree with the settings thing, I'm exactly the same way and I cannot play right without my personal settings
It is why I'd prefer to have as many computers as possible, If we cannot get all the computers I'll take your idea into consideration
'grats on 100th

If people have all their setting memorized (you could just write them on a post-it or something) player swapping shouldn't be a huge deal. That said, switching people around half way through a best of 3 is illogical. That's just increasing the number of switches for no clear gain.

It would never be in the middle of a series
If switches were to be mad it'd be after a certain number of rounds, whether it be one round or three or watever, that is yet to be determined

It's completely doable to run a 64 person tournament on 32 computers. If you pair off the computers, you can arrange games such that players will only have to wait for one game to get back on their computer. Say you have 32 computers available. Pair them into 16 pairs. then divide the initial 64 player bracket into 16 parts. See below:
+ Show Spoiler +
This way, players will always know which game's conclusion they are waiting for and for the first five rounds of play, will be on only one of two computers. After the five games finish, only 32 players are remaining, So there would be no conflict for computers. Then you just do games whenever both people are ready.
This is how SSBM tournaments were run when there weren't enough TVs. It works pretty well while there are still >32 people in the tournaments.

Your logic would be awesome, if only SC2 matches were as short as SSBM matches. Its very possible and common for a single matchup to last well over an hour. This can be very time consuming and strenuous on the task at hand.

To be fair so can I. It's just that "Far enough" is normally alot more then the average person can put out.
And you have no right to complain. You lost rock paper scissors. It was fair.

We have a prize pool of $320 dollars minimum (if all players show up) Das is sending us 1 keyboard valued at $130 (plus some stickers, but that's irrelevant) We want to award the first 5 places AND have some sort of raffle. Any suggestions on how to split the prizes? (Don't worry, I can smell bias :D)

If we're raffling the keyboard then thats just 320$. 120/80/60/40/20? idk.

It really doesn't make sense to raffle off the sponsor's prize. I was thinking maybe a gift card for the raffle, but what kind...
|
Ok, this is very irrelevant but....
While laddering today I accidentally had "Random" Selected. (Every single win I've acquired in ladder has been with Protoss
But anyway, I got Steppes of war and I ended up being Terran. Normally I would just quit right at the start because as anyone who has played my off races will be able to tell you. My terran is "Gold" at best....
I decided to play it out anyway however because I despise losing more then anything else in the world.
I ended beating a 2100+ Diamond Terran with 2600 games played.....
Im pretty sure he sucked but still, Im so geeked its not even funny.
Heres the replay:

sounds like its gonna be crowded and only one keyboard sux0rs would be cool if more sponsor money other than just a buyin though... for 64 peeps could be able to get some better sponsor no?
kinda expensive to play the lans/commute
raffle note: gift cards are like cash but less useful

Hey lis, I want a sticker >:D I think the first and second place should get the same cash prize, but the first place gets the keyboard. And the next three winners get cash prizes. Maybe like this, 100, 100, 60, 40, 20 = 320
or or
Use the keyboard as a raffle prize (since DAS keyboard is sponsoring, so its incentive for more people to come in the future, just for raffles. And it gives people a chance to win something for their 5 dollar buy in worth, which i really dont like buy ins but whateve) prize money can be split, 120, 80, 60, 40, 20

That means that the first place prize is less than the raffle prize. What I could do is have Cybercraft throw another 100 in and we could do 150/100/70/40/40. Then raffle off the keyboard, allowing the cash winners to get in on the raffle too.

I was just gonna say, SHIT IM MISSING THE GOD DAMN STICKERS. But yeh my first thought is to raffle the keyboard off as raffling cash is a lil...off? But raffling the sponsor prize is also a lil off so...
If it's a gift card... /shrug Best buy? we are mostly geeks/nerds so we should be able to find something of value from best buy.
Unless Newegg makes gift cards I think Best Buy is the best bet.

lol, lets stop with all the potential violence towards people's family and the trash talking and insults
lets take this thread back on track and discuss how were gonna fit everyone in cybercraft, lol
if everyone shows up thats alrdy 70+ people and people are gonna bring friends and stuff
if computer issue doesnt get solved theres gonna be around 30people around spectator area that kind of crowd is pretty risky and most likely a fire hazard
I need a list of people who are 90% likely to come (including non-players) so I have something to back up the argument that we need to reserve the whole place

How about a raffle for the finals? People put who they think is going to win the finals and whoever wins will win a prize for the raffle like what they did at IEM

Strangled with a keyboard? glhf
Anyhoo I argued up to 40 computers but the boss says that we can come in and take computers if there aren't many customers around at the time. Which goes back to MikeD's idea of coming here and trying to take all the computers as quickly as possible.

Just pay 72 bums to hold our spaces

Alrighty, im going to do seating for the first 32 people in the brackets anyone who shows up early please take computers NOT labeled reserved, those would likely be the ones along the hall

Can you de-register me I won't be coming

Ben Stiller might be watching you play! Though ZoW makes a good point, how will some of us have late-nite adventures after the D&B meetup to go to the LAN cafe?
Can we sleep in Cybercraft, or will they kick us out?

Dont think you can like spend the night there sleeping, but if u guys like take turns passing out while some stay up to play they might be somewhat ok with it or just might not notice
it would be awesome though if you guys held the computers for the event

So, when is the thread for the 2v2 tournament going up? I know a couple of people have been talking about it and I'm hoping for some more info.
Too bad you can't play Certified, with us being #1 in our gold division... for a few minutes.

2v2 sucks. In fact all team based games suck! Working with others is a terrible design for a game! Power in self and self only!!!!

On a more serious note, Is it planned to be streamed on Schamtoos account or the one we used last time?

I'm up to 50 or so now... Peaked at 45th earlier.
|
All the seriously good people who used to sit at the top "Select", "HuK" play in korea now.....
besides, everyone is beatable...... the top 200 players will likely bump eachother out before they do too much damage to us common folk
my goal is to hit somewhere around 2500 before the tournament starts.... I was 2351 then went on a terrible terrible losing streak that i am now recovering from, so im at about 2260 now.
|
My goal is to be at 3k by that time, but the people who are 3k now might be like 3200 or something.

I realized how big and successful this NYC series tourney has become. I'm glad to hear it's going well. Unfortunately, I don't own or play SC2 and am sticking to SC BW till the end. I know Cybercraft is a SC2 only exclusive tourney. So my reason or purpose to attend and the motivation to go isn't there. But I do wish this tourney setup to grow more and more and be even successful. Good luck!

Spectators are always welcome, we usually have space, this time being that its 64 people theres probly gonna be a bit more crowded but it wont prevent you from attending
If you cant make it, some matches will be streamed so you can watch from home or whatever

Reborn, wtf you've been laddering your face off recently haven't you?

boredom is a strong motivator.

I've been losing so much lately.......
I've decided that im just gonna bank on the ladder reset (Tomorrow maybe?) and use the ladder to practice totally new stuff iin preparation for the new season and the tournament
I went from 2350 on a 53.5 win % to 2260 on a 51 win %.... its kinda depressing....

I'm using the ladder reset to 12 drone rush on stepes against terran every match.

So, turns out. My powersupply died. I should be on later tonight, maybe I'll even stream. Going to get a new one soon-ish.
WISH ME LUCK =D

Your Powersupply died? Cmon scham, I expect better from you.....

Zerg is the NEW Overpowered race.....

I say you should flip a coin....

Zerg timing is so hard to learn though =\

Timing for attacks when your zerg is when you hit 200/200 and have like 10k in the bank..... then you mash buttons on the keyboard and rally infinite troops across the map.....
Ive had armies that countered the zergs.... they would suicide it against mine taking out key units, then mass up a totally different army and roll straight pass my remaining broken forces...

Simple solution. Don't let zerg get 5 base with all the tech structures 30 mins into the game?

TomCruise here, take me off the list. I don't think anyone realizes how ridiculously senseless this 2 day tournament idea is. Judging from the tournament organizers' posts, I wouldn't be surprised if they're blind to reason at this point with their naive paradise they have planned.
This tournament is near-macabre with the imposition of the nametag rule and also various suggestions of personal introductions that make for a sickening social experiment. I don't understand this and never will , as I live in the real world where people choose with whom they speak and losers know they're losers.
Perhaps one day, the organizers will come to realize they have a moral obligation to the sc2 players of NJ and PA(especially Philly) to host a more feasible tournament as unfortunately we have no LAN competitions to go to in our respective areas. New England has theirs , and even VA has theirs. Now I can conclusively say that NY has THEIR own tournaments as well. Bravo.
What bothers me most about my not going is how I perceive the tournament organizers here to be feeling self-important to be the hosts of this tournament. Wake up, this is not the GSL , MLG, or WCG. There is nowhere near enough computers and first place gets only $100. It would be a huge loss of hard-earned money to go for 2 days.
I'm really disappointed and I know a lot of other people are as well. I can understand if I get banned from future tournaments for this post , but I don't mind as long as my view is seen. TomC

You are literally the only one who has an issue with it. We've run like five tournaments over one day and have concluded that there's nothing wrong with two days. While I agree that the tournament organizers are not brilliant, they do their job and do it well enough so that everyone has a ton of fun.

lol, they have a moral obligation to you? I actually thought that post was some kind of inside joke until people started to respond seriously.

Fuck you man. You have no idea how much of their own time, money, and work Lisa and Sterling put into running this shit. They have no "obligation" to anyone, they do it because they want to. Without them the nyc tournament scene would be close to non-existent. If you think you can do it better, then go ahead and do it. If not, then stfu and deal with it. Your not forced to come, and don't post this kind of shit like you know what your talking about because you obviously don't.

Totally agree with Zow here.
TomC, I really don't see why you couldn't have done any of the following, all of which would be infinitely less disrespectful and rude: 1) Kept your (rather unreasonable) complaints to yourself 2) Made a constructive suggestion 3) Kept this to PMs, instead of publicly flaming two people who have been working tirelessly to put together quality LANs 4) Organized your own tournament, setting it up in whatever way you think is better for people in NJ and PA

Mr. Cruise, as you so call yourself, ( I have no idea why someone would represent themselves under someone else's name) By attempting to make a mockery of this event you have labeled yourself as a douche bag. You are trying to criticize an event which is based off of other previous events which have proven both successful and enjoyable to those who have been in attendence.
assuming from your post that you are from either NJ or PA, good luck finding other's who would have happily accepted you into this community, as we are a social group just as much as we are a SC2 group. If you cant deal with both then surely you can go to google and find a bunch of people who sit in the dark by themselves and play video games..... for the most part this does not describe those of us who are active here....
By calling the social aspect of the event sickening and showing your distaste for name-tags, you have done nothing short of revealing yourself to be just as much of a real life troll as you are a forum troll.....

The nametag rule is more so you know your opponent is ready. If you know who to look for, you know if they're sitting down or walking around in the vaguest sense...if they're ready to play. I don't think i really use the nametags to talk/call people over or anything. It's more of just knowing if people are ready or not and to ask them if they want to start the next game.

If you wouldn't mind sharing how many people, if these people are signed up or not, if there's an overwhelming drive from the players of the tourney to do something differently, then it may be something to be considered by the admins of the tourney, i would assume.

Just few questions. #1. My bnet name changed from PAIN to NrGGuN. #2. I'm leaving work early to attend @ 11:00am. (Takes about an hour and half to get there) Just a heads up that Im planning to arrive at 12:45, deadline. Please don't replace me. #3. Im driving. So is there a parking lot near by? #4. Is the name tag provided when you get there? Or is this something we have to have before getting there?
Thanks!

#1 ok they'll just change that #2 we won't if you post that morning that you're coming or if you're there by 12:45 #3 dunno #4 provided for you

Your name change is already noted
Remind us the morning of, we try not to replace anyone until as late as possible
You'll have to find parking on the streets, most people drive, they seem to make it, try asking around or those who drive there
Name tags are provided, check in with me once you arrive, I'll point you to btway so you can pick up your nametag
|
#3. Im driving. So is there a parking lot near by?
Parking shouldnt be too difficult, you can park up most of northern blvd afaik. Atleast, it wasnt a problem for me and my friend the couple times we've been there, i just wouldnt recommend bringing the corvette and/or other expensive car XD
|
Yeah, I've been able to find parking every time I've been there as well, shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Depending on where you park you'll have to pay the meter every two hours, though.

I need someone to make me play starcraft. its too cold in the room my computer is so i havent been playing. im gonna suck it up though sometime before the tournament so im not completely useless like i am now

There is a rather large parking lot on Union Street a few blocks away from Cybercraft, lots of parking there.
Although it's obviously cheaper to park on the streets, parking on one of the side streets is the best IMO.
|
If your going to be looking for free parking, make sure you alow some time to search, i found it tough to find an open spot. The meters were very open but paying every two hours didn't sound too nice to me.

Tomc Is a giant Troll to all those who did not realise as such. His name is Tom freaken Cruise for god sakes.
Don't have anything else to add to the parking

It takes me around an hour to get there, and I already commute to Manhattan for school everyday, so I really don't like dealing with that.
Btw, we should organize some casual meet-ups and just do team/ffa or something

Meh travel distance never bothered me. I woke up at 6 every damn morning to catch the bus on time for...well from higschool to now so 5 years?
But yeh imo if it's organized it's not casual! It needs to be Spontaneous! Random Random People Randomely Deciding to Randomely going to Cyber Random Craft to play Random Games of Random Starcraft Random 2 and Random

I had to wake up at 6 and my drive took me 5 minutes...what time did your school start!?
btw, Nintendo, PM me your stuff and we can throw you into our near-nightly games of 1v1's and UMS's

Bronx started up at around 8 somethin from my memory. So yeh the bus trip was sorta annoying. And now i gotta get to the office by 9, So i wake at 6 leave at 7.
Also don't do it. Schamtus will touch you in places you don't want to be touched. Do not be inticed by his promises of fun and merryment.

And I have to wake up at 6 every morning too, I freaking hate the hour long subway ride. It seriously makes me wish I just went to a zoned school.
And on yet another note, is that 2v2 thing still gonna happen?
|
Yes the 2v2 is still going to happen
Thread will likely be started over the weekend or next week, we wanna take care of all the 1v1 stuff first
the 2v2 doesnt really need that much organization cuz its the same as a 1v1 except each 1 represents two entities
Meaning You will need a partner and its not gonna be random partners with rotation make sure you have a teammate in mind, if you cant find one, ask around, im sure there are others without partners

Is it going to be 16 or 32 teams?

right, question then. How are the headphones at the place? I dont actually own a pair so i was wondering whether the ones that are there will suffice or do i need to go shopping.
|
I think you're supposed to provide your own in-ear headphones. Says so in the FAQ.
|
Headphones are different depending on the computer your at... though most of them can safely be categorized under "$10 Pair You Get at Walgreens"
But yeah if you wind up getting casted or get far in the tournament you need to bring IEMs. Id recommend bringing them just in case.

Headphones provided are pretty terrible.... they are over-ears, but not around-ears.... meaning they just cover your ears barely.... if you have a big head then not at all....
If your games are casted, I believe they provide you with a pair of noice canceling around-ear muffs to go over YOUR in-ear headphones.... otherwise your games cant be casted, or you have to play without game-sound.
Personally Im bring my own pair of around--ear headphones so I dont have to use the ones provided nor the ear-muffs

Much easier, its too cold to wait outside Queensborough for the train to come. Just take the 7 train all the way, the potential 5 minutes you save aren't worth it IMO.

I think I will have access to an unlimited Metrocard though, so I could take the train, get off and reboard. Saturday might be tough because I'm probably going to be tired from the Dave and Busters meetup, so I might just pay to take the van from Brooklyn to Flushing.

If anyone's up for random games, I'll be at cyber from 2:30 to 7 today. So will certified.

don't think i'm going to make it

I know this is probably an impossible question to answer, but do we have any idea how long the tourney is going to run on Saturday?
I suddenly have to be somewhere in New Jersey that evening =/ need to figure out if I should give up my slot...
Will still come out (at least to spectate) either way!

my magical powers of clairvoyance say that it will last untill 8:46 on the dot.

To be fair i did predict blixys next like 2 hours after that one game. Which was awesome.
The first day we honestly have no idea how long it may take. Never really had a 2 day tourney before. Depends on how much we get done i'm assuming. Don't tak emy word for it tho i don't organize this.
|
Hm maybe they want to get to at least round of x before ending the day?
|
I don't think they have specified, we just take as long as we need really, when everyone feels like stopping we'll just continue the next day.
|

The Aim is to have a certain amount of the bracket completed by 7
events generally end around 7ish so i dont want to drag it out past then if people all want to stay and continue or all agree to end a bit early, i'll do my best to work around it
after all its a community thing, the goal is to have majority done by 7 so theres less stress for sunday
|
Cool, thanks for the fast response.

Thanks for the quick response Cert!
I'm going to have to leave by about 4:30 on Saturday (just found out today), so I think I should go ahead and give up my slot for someone else =( I'll still come by to spectate and say howdy to everyone, though!
If we're at 63/64 at 1:00 PM, or something, maybe I'll play off-race and go mass infestor or mass sentry until I'm knocked out.
|
I think I smell a snow day
|
I hope this snow clears out a bit when i head out to flushing on Saturday :[.
|
Its only snowing for the night into the morning, shouldnt be snowed in for several days
roads should be clear enough to travel by friday
|
Weather for the weekend should be fine, it's going to be partly cloudy on Saturday and Sunday. This storm is not as bad as the Blizzard in December, as 8-14 inches is the estimated total; hopefully the roads and subways are cleared quickly, unless Mayor Bloomberg wants another Public Relations disaster.

Must. Make. Master League..... Before. Tournament.....
to those who are already there....
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
|
I applied for the GSL Caster thing using one of my older recordings from livestream, hahaha. I gave them two specific times and told em I would be casting this tourney too. Probs not gonna get it cause I'm not well known enough, but worth a shot.
|
Yay tournament this Saturday and the blizzard's died down PLUS we have chat channels and phoenix buff. Everything's good so far.
We do need some interview questions for the winners though. Anybody got generic question suggestions?
|
Notice:
The Main Chat Channel used by community seems to be 'Team Liquid New York'
majority of people seem to be there, come idle, some not, lol point is keep that chat channel as a reference
I'm generally there whenever I'm online, easiest way to contact me if you want to ask me something
Also, during the event, everyone please join that channel while your at cybercraft Makes it easy to make announcements or PM you in-game to call you for a match
and hell, you can EVEN talk to people 
again, its 'Team Liquid New York' I realize its kinda long, but its pretty and looks professional, lol
|
Lots of people dropping, looks like I might actually get to play ^_^
Still going to show up since I live like 4 blocks away.
|
I'm getting so stoked! Just 49 hours away. :3
Some potential interview questions:
Any previous RTS experience?
Favorite unit?
Favorite pro?
Any shoutouts?

Just mass upgraded roaches..... shuts down all gateway stuff
|
|
Heres my experience with gateway against roaches.
They lose to stalkers without speed. They Lose to Blink stalkers with speed. They lose to blink stalkers with Sentries with speed and plus 1 on both sides. After that level of upgrades tho you should really have higher tech to deal with em.
So up untill +2/+2 speed roaches you're gateway pushes still scare the shit out of me as long as you are getting upgrades with me. If not and i have +1/+1 and see nothing but gates still i giggle.

obviously its too late but has anyone thought of going to the local businesses in that area to get some sponsorship to add to the prize pool? obviously the people from the tournament will need food and other things so if we make sure we mention their business they can add $50 or something like that.

Thought about it. The problem with food sponsorships is that...well, they usually sponsor you with food to promote their products. Gaming businesses around the area are scarce and other businesses around the area simply won't be interested in a video game tournament. I got a response from steelseries a bit late for the last tournament, so I'll bug them again for the next one.

More than that.

How in the world did it end up that i'll be playing...this is freaken stupid...i signed up like a month after sign ups closed!
sponserships are great and all but don't lose sleep over em. Not worth it to overstress on something like that imo.
Also do the computers have teamspeak? If not then we would have to use Vent, and i'll have to make a private channel on my server most likely if that's the case, unless someone has a vent server we can use of course.

They have two teamspeak-like programs (can't remember what they are atm), but I've never clicked on them, so I have no idea if they even work. Will report back in a few hours.

Why do we need vent again?
I've yet to actually visit Cybercraft, but from outside views it seems kinda small.

The place feels crowded when we have 32 player tournaments.... A 64 player tournament will no doubt make the place feel very small
|
Its pretty big for an internet cafe tbh.
|
So I'm going on the 7 from Manhattan at like 11AM tomorrow, who wants to meet up? Send me a PM.
I assume Poke you're going that way?
|
Anyone got info for a Vent server that we can use right now? Cybercraft's version of TS isn't the newest and there's nobody around to help us get permission to install the newest version.
|
Pmed my server. If you still need it.
|
can't make it guys.. gotta work.. scratch me off the list
|
I have a 15 player Vent server we could use, might be too small though.
|
I can lend VT vent.
e: ANYONE WHO PLANS ON TAKING THE 7 TRAIN FROM TIMES SQUARE please read
we will meet outside the station on 42nd and 7th - SOUTHEAST CORNER - at 10:45 - 11AM
at 11AM we will go in the station
if you think you may need help finding people, PM me and I will give you my phone #
current list: Pokebunny + brother + (possibly dad, if he decides he wants to come) Schamus
|
Cool, vent works for casting. We got the whole thing tested and set up.

nope i brought microsoft mouse and keyboard while back. No say word of stuff. But mouse keyboard have they there are dell and schtuff.

Yeah you gotta play with what you know. A gaming keyboard and a gaming mouse would be completely useless to me if I got them the day before a tournament. Also, as far as keyboards for RTS gaming go, I think a lot of people prefer the simplistic low button count that might come with a computer or whatever. I know I do, I have a 20$ Logitech and bought it because it was the simplest one they had.
Anyways see you all soon, leaving asap.

Oh man, so Rifter and I got out of there and home only to finally get a call from our friend to say he's not coming through. 
If we had before we left (he wasn't answering his phone), we could still be there and be gearing up to go out as the tourny should just be finishing for the day!
|
Had a great time, unfortunately I had to run out of there because Gigaflop called and apparently our car had accrued $305 worth of parking tickets during the tournament. lol.
Was still a great time tho :D
|
Hey, MikeD here, wondering if anyone going back tomorrow from NJ might be able to give me a ride. I could probably meet somewhere convenient.
I'll get there either way but it would be a huuuuge help. Let me know.

We stopped at 7 today. Don't see any way of putting new people into the loser's brackets, and we'll hopefully finish earlier tomorrow too
|
Nice, lets get another new tournament going on again soon than, il help
|
Holy crap!!! I cant believe that went so smoothly, updating brackets in a few min,
Pretty epic day, tomorrows gonna be even crazier with the remaining players battling it out
Allaboutyou was the first to finally put pokebunny in the lower brackets! lol also had an awesome series against Dhalism

So who was the secret donor of $10 bounty?
I'm going to take train tomorrow instead. Do I just take "Train 7" (which direction? from pennstation) and which stop am I suppose to get off?
Also, thanks for your hard work!!

I'm at Cybercraft, when is the rest of the crew going to be here?
|
I shall be leaving at 11, so I'll be there at 1. Hopefully the migraines won't come back today. : |
|
I'm leaving ASAP. I WILL be there for sure. Have to make a quick stop along the way so it might be more like 12:30 or something. See you all soon.

Hey guys, this is Ben's brother. Ben's trying to get there, but he is a little lost right now. He says that he will be there ASAP. Wait for him!!! Thanks.

I just got destroyed by pokebunny. Great weekend overall, thanks so much for organizing things Cert and Btway.
Been an awesome first LAN.
|
I'm stuck with my family in Bridgeport I'll be leaving US in 2-3 weeks so hopefully I'll see you guys before then (GSL finals at Cybercraft perhaps?).
|
I lost to the same two people I lost to last time. Kinda makes sense to me and doesn't feel too bad. A little disappointed that I'm top 12 at best. GG's
P.S. Mothership is OP :D

Pokebunny vs. AlLaboUtyOu in the grand finals!
|
Watching now! People need to chat in stream damnit!
|
|
Allaboutyou won. Pokebunny took the first series off him and then lost 2-0 in the second.
|
Well, I'm home early thanks to filial duties. Day 2 lasted 3 hours longer than expected.
Thank you again to everyone who came to participate and watch the tournament. Big shout outs to:
All of our casters. Especially Schamtoo, Sireph, and AGIANTSMURF for making the games super exciting to watch.
Blasterion for manning the TV screen.
Sireph for getting some great interviews on Day 1.
Zeroes for taking lots and lots of pictures.
And of course Certified for being stubborn and taking care of all the brackets, which is awesome because it runs very smoothly :D
In other news, games from Day 1 seem to be lost because the autosave function on livestream wasn't turned on yesterday. Many apologies from me because I thought it was on the whole time. We're also working on getting a better stream than the free livestream accounts that we have right now.
Obligatory join our facebook group if you haven't yet! It's a much easier way to keep updated with new events and our random streams: http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=152463604779602
Hope to see you all in two weeks

Hi, everyone this is FXOmOoNan aka: allaboutyou. The tournament was great and fun Thank you everyone for coming to tournament. I hope we do it again soon! I am actually typing with daskeyboard that I won from tournament and it feels great~~  Anyways, Thanks once again for the tournament and see you in b.net!
|
Congrats mOoNan on winning the tournament, and getting picked up by FXO! Hope to see you again soon good games. You're a really solid player, a lot of respect for you
|
|
|
lol sloggerdodger gg. Congratz on 3rd place on the tournament. Thank you, Pokebunny. You really have potential in you I hope you keep practicing and become a better player! keep it up!
|
Are there any replays available?
|
|
okay so I just got back, tired as hell Everyone deserves thanks for just being so damn awesome and im way too worn out to name names
Amazing freaking day of games, I saved all replays from day2 (as far as i know, was kind of rushed and tired so i might've saved replays from some random account, lol)
theyre only replays of the casted games, the actually casting is in a 5 hour long VOD on my stream, linked by btway above
Theres a lot more that i need to say but im completely blanking out Great meeting all the new people and seeing returning competitors fantastic weekend, ♥♥♥ TLNY
edit:
However I did make a huge mistake Dhalism and NrGGun Do have to do a best of 3 to determine 5th place winner
I will be trying to set that up as soon as possble and it will be streamed, more info to come
NOTE: i just checked VOD real quick, the grand finals matches are missing, im gonna try to recover them some time when i go back to cybercraft maybe sometime later this week
Replays from day2 are saved, they will be uploaded sometime later
|
*sigh* right back into the slog that is work...I'll be posting in the 2v2 tourney to piss people off and troll certain users.
Was fun. Glad the magic idea didn't work out, would have been to nerdy. And grats to all the winners and some of the losers.
|
Congrats to AllAboutYou, I wish I could've been there for day 2 but alas, family emergency called D: I'll be uploading the interviews to various places, ie. Youtube, Bliptv, where ever they can be mass distributed. Unfortunately, I have to work some post production magic because the interviews are dark as all hell ><
Can't wait for the next one, see you all there :D
|
Man, I didn't know I was that ahead of Dhalism on Steppes at the beginning. I checked out his stats earlier and kinda was like ... damn. Had a brain fart and that was that. Not that I had a chance anyway. Also, I should have HSMed, thought he had mutas somewhere was waiting for that. Also in LT, I knew Dhalism was in the south cause my SCV scout saw his OL. It was like my one moment of genius.
Once again thanks for hosting this, had a blast, plus it's made me actually enjoy playing 1v1s now.
