The first thing you do when you walk in is check-in with me! I will be holding a blue clipboard and will direct you to where you need to go. 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 may be scrapped and the series will be replayed
There are a lot of changes between this event and the last, make sure you know what is going on
Check-in ends around 11:45am. Make sure you are checked in with me as soon as you come in. Anyone NOT checked in with me by 11:45am will be dropped from the tournament and replaced. Everyone on the back-up list is recommended to show up because there are always people who are late and you guys are the ones who will be replacing them. Even if you don't get spot in the tournament it is still a great place and opportunity to meet new players and make friends.
If you are unsure of something, read the rules! Only come ask me after you have consulted the rules and still need clarification. (There is nothing more annoying than a question that is already answered, read the god damn rules!)
Games will be casted and players in those games must wear noise canceling headsets that we provide. Players MUST bring their own in-ear headphones to wear with the provided headset to eliminate all spoilers of the match in progress.
Excessive BM and offensive gg'ing (gg'ing for your opponent) will result in a disqualification. No excuses, if you are reported for offensive gg'ing you will suffer the consequences.
Chat channel used will be 'Team Liquid New York' Please join that channel when you arrive at cybercraft and get on a computer, It will let us know you are at a computer, and will make it easy to PM you if we need you It also helps to make general announcements
This tournament thread should be compiled for future threads and ask a mod to change the title since this is a frequent event, seems annoying to create each one.
End of Passover Break, yeah! Now for dinner accommodations...

We should have an NYC proleague. Draft teams, have a couple matches a week live at Cybercraft (so people don't have to come out every week, just when they have a match).. could be fun.

So far only a single obvious troll sign-up, but I've never heard of a lot of these people and we got 44 sign ups in less than 24 hours. Please let this not be trolling.

If 64 people register, 16 aren't going to show up, so the other extra 16 will get byes. So yeah, we need at least 64 people to sign up before turning it into a 64 man tournament.

If that's the case i would put that in the first post. Counting that this thing was up for what? 32 hours? before it maxed out, I can see alot of people seeing it full then just not signing up. If they know there is a possibility of it becomin 64 man then they will sign up rather then brushing it by cause they see a full roster.
I miss the losers bracket (im sure other's do as well) will we ever see its return? (Id rather have a 32 man tournament with loser's bracket then a 64 man single elim)
Also talking about age, both of my older brother's are likely to attend and they are in the late 20's early 30's
This falls under my spring break (not too sure what the highschool schedule for spring break is though) so getting a lot of people to actually show up might not be so bad. I know a couple players in Flushing so I'll let them know about it ^__^
Hello everyone! I signed up so i guess im number 45/32, so if we get 64 then im guaranteed to play? I highly doubt that 13 ppl wont show up, i feel like its kinda risky considering its a 2.5 hour trip... Just wondering, IS this going to be 64 if the demand is high enough or is the facility too small to handle such an amount?
P.S. The 14 yr old EVOBoyo is gonna dethrone pokebunny, no doubt....

Last time we had a 64 man tournament, 15+ people didn't show up, which was good because the facility barely (read: doesn't) support 64 people playing at once.
As for double elim, we'll do that at some random time when less people are able to attend.

Since SC2 ranks was used to determine the top 10 (or so) seeds, how will we determine them with the new season approaching (starts march 29th)? Will we seed players based on their season 2 progress up until the event?

I believe the official seeding methodology consists of dragging the players up and down until it looks about right. Since bottom seeds are random, top seeds don't necessarily need to be in perfect order either. Also depends on how sc2ranks handles the new season and whether they'll display old season rankings.

The reason I asked is because when the new season starts I intend on blasting past people who I know I am better then and would hope to be seeded appropriately so if I got that far.

u should just cut it at like 50 or something with a seeding system so those who have worse performance or rmm gotta play an extra game, or just pit the newcomers agaisnt eachother [:
making it a 64man tour will drastically change time constraints, either we'll have to make it two days or start at like 11 (which most other LANs do cuz they have large brackets)
99% of the things said about brackets/seeding won't effect how the brackets turn out, theres always gonna be someone who complains
theres 3 weeks between the time of the tournament and the ladder reset, thats plenty of time for the good players to show themselves so seeding will likely be done using new season stats

Interesting idea, though if you make RO16, RO8 and RO4 BO3, loser's bracket would still be 14 sets of BO3 (which is a lot when you have to keep waiting for people to drop down).

poke quit your bitching about start times ever since i let you play that other tourney at cybercraft you've been nothing but a spoiled little brat
yes that event timing was completely off and I realize thats my fault but there were byes all across the brackets and you even had a bye first round
you should be glad i let you play through with that other tour since you won 50bucks from it especially since when I did ask you to play your game you refused
This is how it is, you have a strict schedule lined up. If you don't start in time, means you won't finish in time. If you don't finish in time, too bad (maybe the person who was ready first gets to have that as a bye). We're not waiting around for people.... if we collect as much as I think we will, it will be a big prize pool. If the match goes on longer than expected, then arrangements can be met IF AND ONLY IF IT STARTED ON TIME.
Half hour for the first round, 1 hour allowance for the 2nd round. and so on. Losers bracket happens concurrently, start at 12.

Every single one has been at least an hour longer than necessary.
I find that there are two issues with time management issues with Cybercraft.
1. Starting on time 2. Breaks (Food and Personal)
Starting on time has been a problem for Cybercraft Tournaments because competitors need time to set up their equipment, and some people never show up on time. I believe there needs to be DQs much faster if people are not going to show up on time.
The biggest issue that I find was the amount of breaks that were afforded while streaming the earlier rounds. While you want to stream as many good games as possible, this will cause bigger delays in the tournament; as I recall, I had to wait about an hour before starting my second round match. If both competitors are ready, they should be able to immediately start the next series instead of trying to wait and let the tournament organizers decide what match is going to be casted. Yes, this will hurt in the sense that one might not be able to see better matches, but allows a better flow of the tournament. You can keep this rule until Ro4, where there would only be 3 series to be casted, and it would take about 1.5 hours total.
Lunch breaks certainly do not help with the situation, and although this might be harsh, either there needs to be a strict block of time for lunch and food, or having no lunch break at all. Player breaks should not be more than 5-10 minutes per series.
That is my thought on the time management issues with Cybercraft.

youre 100% correct about everything problem is to fix the issues we have to be a lot stricter about the rules and cant be as lenient which makes the event more of an official tournament then an actual community LAN
I have no problem being absolutely strict with the rules and dropping people from brackets on the dot but if thats the case i feel its not much of a fun event but rather an actual competitive scene
if thats what the community whats I'm fine with that but for the most part, people there dont take the tournament too seriously, which is y i dont want to rush people to play their games and i dont want to drop people if theyre 5-10min late
I agree on the lunch break thing. A 30 minute block should be enough for everyone to grab lunch, at least.
Starting on time is another thing. If we start on time and give people byes, and then they wait for their second match, their opponent tends to show up a few minutes later. So do we enforce STRICTLY, which is kind of a pain for people who arrive a few minutes late? Or do we enforce sort leniently because the people who have byes are waiting for games anyways?
I'm totally fine with more strict time restraints if it gets the tournament flowing more.
My 1st round opponent for 6.0 was chef, and he came ultra late. I didn't quite note the time but it was probably more than half an hour. I even remember asking fundipper what time it was in the middle of a warm up game, when he said it was 1 already I was surprised and wondered why not that many people had started their games. (Or at least I think they hadn't started them O_o)

This. I dont understand the big deal of a FUN event lasting longer. Like he said your supposed to have fun broskies.
I think you guys forget how long these things run for, we've had 32 man tournaments run from 1pm - 7 or 8pm
yea a 64 man tournament is only one more round, but that one round has the potential to go on for over an hour if you have a good enough series from the players.
Its pretty stressful on those that organize it, not to mention the long travel distances for them. And then there is the after-dinner to think about.
Im sure everything is being considered. people need to just chill out and cross their fingers.
I haven't been following what's been going on with the Cybercraft tourneys lately so I'm a bit out of the loop... a few questions...
1) What is the earliest time we can start? I understand that people need time to get there from all over the place (including me). I also understand that making it too early means more people are likely to be late. But if it's going to be a big tournament with bo3 then the earlier it gets started the earlier it will finish. Is 12 noon too early for the official cutoff time?
2) How many matches can be played simultaneously? In a 64 man tourney that's 64 computers needed if all matches are to be played at once. By round 3 the number of computers aren't a problem anymore for sure... but how many waves will round one need to be played in if it is 64 people? This is considerably slower than the later rounds since every time a player needs to swap into a new computer they need to verify their LAN minutes are in order, equip their equipment, adjust/test settings, etc. I'm sure the organizers of this tournament aren't learning anything new with me writing this XD
3) Are we going to order in food? That saves a lot of time and seemed to work pretty well last time. There could even be two 'lunches' if there are going to be a huge number of people there. I agree that competitors should have limited break time since that slows down the tournament.

I know what you're feeling micronesia, since people take a long time to get to Cybercraft. I personally have to take almost 2 hours to get to Cybercraft, so it is a time investment as well. I would estimate that most people take around an hour to get to Cybercraft.
For the first question, I think noon or 1PM would be the earliest that we can start without people being disgruntled about waking up early, as most people take over an hour to get to Cybercraft.
I would estimate that every Bo3 round would take about half an hour (I feel that this is a good estimate), and in a Ro32 tournament, this would take about 3 hours without breaks/delays. Now in Cybercraft, for a Ro64 tournament, I do not believe there are enough computers to support 64 players simultaneously, so half the competitors would have to wait 30 minutes before starting, thus taking one extra hour (not accounting for setups and delays). With a block of time for lunch as I would suggest for 30 minutes, the whole tournament would finish within 5-6 hours maximum; 1.5 hours would be allocated towards random time being lost.
Ordering food can be an option, but I think we have to make sure who wants to eat what type of food, then send someone to place down orders while the matches are being played.

It's fun. Most important thing is just talk to people. Introduce yourself, say what's up, talk about the game... best part imo.
We just hang out and play the tournament / practice games / warmup games / TALK ABOUT STARCRAFT. woo!

okay guess btway went ahead and made the decision alrdy
In the event that the tournament is official 64 man tournament, we should start earlier. 11am is a good time. On top of that, with the 5 dollar buy in, I don't think people would be happy with bo1's. 50% of the players will be upset putting in 5 dollars and losing one game (plus buying internet time). With a loser brackets, 75% of the players will be upset in this situation. With a loser brackets, the ro64 and or32 would take much longer because there are not enough computers in the back section of cybercraft that is reserved for us during the day.
These are just suggestions
As for my opinions: start time 11am-1pm ro32 no buy in, we already pay for game time; lets just have fun loser bracket (dont care)
Let's start some advertising for a sponsor or of some sort. That way we can have a standard set tournament format so people don't have to complain. (But complaining and whining always keeps the thread up keke)
Plan for 64 and only have 32 show up OR plan for 32 and have 28 backups who won't be able to play show up?
Steve, no buy-in for a 64 man tournament = NO PRIZE (assuming no extra sponsors, because let's face it, too many companies require a 60 day notice before sponsoring an event. This doesn't mean we've stopped looking for sponsors though). Last time we split a hundred bucks 60/40. There's no way we're giving out only 2 places in a 64 person tournament.
Also, literally nobody has complained about the 5 dollar buy-in except you. Sorry dude.
Edit: When did I get a "Report" button? Oh god the responsibilities!

Steve, no matter how you cut it, every first round, HALF THE PEOPLE WILL BE UPSET! Actually, I'll go this far. The amount of people who are upset after each round will be an exponential curve towards (Number of total players)-1.

Usually, with buy-in tournaments, there are usually discount for the competitors so that someone would not have to buy time at expensive prices. Imagine that with the 5 dollar buy-in, and the 6 hours that is going to be needed (12 dollars with membership but buying at 5 hour blocks), minimum prize has to be ~20 dollars to even justify the cost. I understand that Cybercraft is a business, and thus needs to be profitable, but by hosting such a grand scale, a lot of competitors are going to feel short-changed.

But then the people who get knocked out first round get short changed. The longer you stay, the more you pay, the more you win back (thanks to the generous buy-ins).
Anyhoo, the hope is that most people won't mind the price so long as they have a good time.

Just to clarify for people, what she means about "the longer you stay, the more you pay" The more you win, the more you have to play and pay the internet cafe for your play time, buy in prize is 5 dollars and thats it.

I've already spent countless $ into fighting game tournaments
The good thing you get from it is tournament exp (obv) and learning how to play under pressure. It helps with other personal skills too, since public speaking becomes a joke when you're used to hundreds of people screaming at you. So entering big tournaments is worth it, even if you're not that confident in getting 1st.
Edit: Buy in is fine, I don't see a reason to drop it
I'm fine with buy-ins. it's a good way to support e-sports in NYC (i'm not aware of other events here) and i would hate to see it go away.
but i do feel having to pay the play time is somewhat problematic. i mean if it's an automatic loose if my time ran out i would be sure to have all the time i need ready. buying 4 hrs and being knocked out in first round won't feel good and keep buying more time during the tournament is just an unnecessary distraction. i would suggest making the play time in the tournament free, i'm sure feeling the need to practice and play with friends plenty people will still buy time for their own use. if it's a problem, raising the buy-in won't be a bad a idea if we get to play in the tournament without worrying about play time. i don't have that big a problem with it, it's just getting a loose when my time ran out gets on my nerve a bit.
The time is pretty easy to manage. For one, it's pretty cheap and secondly you can easily log of between games/matches and if you are diligent about it it will be very inexpensive. Cybercraft reserves more than half of thier space on these days for us and during that time most of the reserved computers don't end up getting paid time on them (due to people logging off, getting eliminated etc) so really they taking in a whole lot extra from us. Anyways for them to be able to host these they have to get something out of it. If I'm not mistaken cybercraft also puts up some of the cash for the prizes.
Finally signed up, I'm like 99% sure I'm going. If something comes up though and I inform you ahead of time, is that all right? From what I've seen there are usually people on the back up list waiting to play.

I mean, if you can afford $60 for SC2 and $800+ for a computer that can run it, then you can scrape together an extra $5 to support the local SC2 community.
Buyins increase the prizepool sooo much (300$+ for this tournament maybe?) at so little cost. It's already fairly cheap anyway if you buy a membership the first time.

The goal is to eventually have a prize pool so big that we'll attract Nada to play in New York.

Ahh I understand. When I used my name change my character code also changed. I hope this clears things up. Although on SC2 Ranks, you cannot look me up using 1985. Only Joker.315 works although that is not my valid current character code. (http://sc2ranks.com/us/1670201/JokeR)

I dunno, 5$ seems like nothing to me... and it makes the prizepool wayyy bigger.

We also need to implement a Veto rule and actually make sure that people are aware of it this time around.
the veto rule has always been stated in the rules, not our fault people don't read the rules and there are those who know about it but don't really care
99% chance map pool will be ladder maps so people can't blame lack of exp on the maps maps to be removed will likely be DQ for its rotational symmetry which can favor a player based on spawn locations and Slag Pits because no matter where your opponent spawns they're just a hop skip and a jump away xD
MLG variations dont allow enough space for casters in the lobby which is why we wont be using them I feel sorry for dachef since hes gonna spawn close positions 80% of the time

2 Refs, and players. This is to avoid problems with players using the "Real Friend Join Game" feature and lagging the process of getting games going.
I think we have to re-think our observer situation with the MLG maps. We could follow the format of the GSL/Proleagues where the commentator has his own screen, the caster follows a second screen controlled by a third person. The broadcast is off the second screen. The commentator will be responsible for checking supply, production, hidden tech, etc. The caster will be responsible for commenting the battles, as the commentator has to keep an eye on the numbers.
This would let us use those maps with only 2 slots of observers.

One of the computers can be set to follow Blasterion's camera.
Not quite sure what you mean - if there's only 2 specs, then one is blast and the other has to be the caster. If there's a way to remove the delay in streaming, then that could be a solution.
Or have it poke's way - but then whoever is casting and commentating will get so dearly attached to each other :D

Obviously MLG was able to get around this by having 2 casters and I dont think they used the casters computers to stream. So i think they just both shared a screen, we can do it too.

the stream observer for MLG was the caster's computer (90% sure) cuz i recall day9 saying he was happy he gets to be in control of the camera at some point during day 3, also the casters were the ones to create the games so it suggests that it was only those two computers that were spectating the game the overlays with picture in picture of the players during the games, the transition to the casters desk and back to the games was production crew behind the scenes working their magic

[purely assumption] I dont think she read the context of the discussion when she posted that suggestion
smurf did say he got more than 2 spectators on an MLG map before, he couldve been mistaken ill fiddle around with it to see if i can get more than 2 people to watch/spectate at once

Well if your MMR is higher then someone else then you would gain points faster then them anyway
My vote is with season one, season 2 could be a pain to seed, its just gonna benefit those who are spamming cheese on ladder
considering a good percentage of people that have a high amount of season 1 points used this method. What difference would it make?
Lets look at EVOboyo for example. He has exactly a 50% winrate with 42 games played and has 424 points this season.
I have like a 69% winrate also with 42 games played and yet I only have 274 points. Its safe to conclude from this that boyo faces harder oponents then I do on ladder and has more points accordingly.
Therefore boyo would seeded higher then me. I don't see how this would be unfair.....
also our custom division on SC2ranks needs to be updated, I'd be more then happy to help with it if I were given access to the necessary information
Well if your MMR is higher then someone else then you would gain points faster then them anyway
Yeah but I'm in no hurry to play a ton of ladder games in the coming weeks. Any slow grinder will pass me. Having a job fucking sucks.
My point is you dont have to play alot. You can ladder casually and still maintain a point lead as long as your winning a respectable amount of games (50%)
If someone improves drastically and manages to grind ahead of you then they probably deserve the higher seed
Besides only the top (X) amount of players are getting seeded, after that it doesnt matter, you might not fall within that threshold to begin with... who knows.
scham and smurf need to practice pronouncing that correctly along with the same blurb to attach to it without fail in the same tone at the same time every time.
alrighty im bored waiting for class to start so i figured i might as well make this post now, lol
Seeding: seeding will be based on points and ranking for season 2 using sc2ranks, u have 3 weeks which is plenty of time for the ladder to get organized and people to be ranked where they belong
top 21 players will be seeded and spread out thru the bracket so top players don't all eliminate each other in the first round, everyone else will be randomly placed to avoid bias
i will be updating the sc2 ranks division sometime between now and the weekend, so by monday it should all be updated with at least the 64 people in the main roster (assuming everyone submitted the correct information when signing up)

I guess the 20 becomes 5 hours, but subsequently it's 10 bucks for 5 hours.

You all do realize i still didn't sign up. They just decided to randomly pick a time to throw me in the brackets.
Also im to busy being bored at work and drawing Pokemon Zergs to care right now
when you sign up, you only need to sign up once and we'll have the information the roster on the OP is not updated daily, just wait and your name will appear eventually
only sign up once, if you're concerned about whether or not your registration went thru just pm and ill let you kno
likely, last time we weren't able to get more than 2 watchers in the game but recently tested it and now its unlimited again, guessed they changed it after MLG or something
either way, MLG metal works, so we will be using that map at least (gotta check if the other MLG maps are the same as the ladder maps except with spawn limits)

128 seems over ambitious. 64 is probably the most that place can handle on one day. And a lot of people won't want to come back for a second day especially if they're coming from far away.

There are no open outlets by the computers, everything you bring should run directly from PC power
Bring In-ear's not a headset, with you're ranking its quite possible we'll have one of your games casted and you'll need in-ears to use with the noise canceling headset, just bring in-ear headphones, makes everything easier

The boxes of unflavored gelatin are 1.80 each, and a 2liter is about 2.00, but i think a monster is 2.00 per can, and i dont feel like spending that money. But wouldnt orange soda and unflavored gelatin make orange gelatin?
edit: also, stevens FINALLY rejected me, after i had a deposit put into RIT. lol

They don't show up in your match history but they're still counted in your overall ladder ranking iirc.

speaking of blue try blue TILT. I think its made with actual cocaine. I am pretty solid on intake of 40+ proof liquid food but after one can of TILT i went crazy and had a realization that i had blackouts even before i got sober.
From wiki:
Tilt was introduced as an energy drink, containing alcohol and marketed as a "Premium Malt Beverage". The original formulation's active ingredients included caffeine, ginseng, and Guarana.
In 2008 a re-formulated Tilt was launched with only caffeine, omitting taurine and guarana. Budweiser made the formulation change for similar reasons as Miller Brewing Company, manufacturer of Sparks. Under pressure from state governments, caffeine was later removed as well. [2] In September 2010 Tilt was reintroduced in a 24 fluid ounce can similar to Four Loko. Currently Tilt comes in five flavors: Tilt Green, Red, Purple, Blue, and Watermelon. The cost is about $2.00. All five flavors contain 12% alcohol and no caffeine.
Of course you dont need caffeine when you include cocaine, doh.

Could be anything. It could even be one of my nefarious experiments with soft drinks and unflavored gelatin. Although mountain dew and coca cola are a bit lackluster when gelatinized. The coca cola looked better than the dew, though. Maintained its nice amber color.

I second this.
I second this seconding this.
I can use a smaller once for the casters, unless i find a similar container. All of this also depends on the volume of jello i can produce as well. I'm gonna try, though. Once the poll is through, i'm going to use the top 4 colors, and probably everything else except Other and White/Translucent to fill up more space.

It's pretty tough finding a spot near the place. Usually I had to park around 4-5 blocks away at least, unless I'm lucky. There is a municipal parking lot with some spots that allow you to stay for up to 8 hours, but at 25 cents per 15 minutes, it could be costly.

I hate that lot. Mass parking tickets... But i remember seeing a sign for $10/9hr parking, or vice versa, but when i saw it i definitely kicked myself a bit. I dont remember its exact location, but i plan to get to cycraft early just to be able to scout for this place after checkin/getting stomped first round

Do backups get priority based on time of registration and is this reflected in the roster order in the OP? I'm #8 on that list and I want to know if I have a good shot at participating if I show up.

update: SubjeCT and PeT still need to contact me about the character codes neither of your registered character codes are valid best way to contact me is either thru PM on TL or on Starcraft, you can find me in the chat channel 90% of the time
Cybercraft's internet should be fixed completely by the end of today, its alrdy back online atm, just working on stability and i believe they upgraded so hopefully its for the better

You'd have to provide us with a sample of your casting and actually PM us saying that you'd like to cast. Everyone kinda goes "lemme cast lemme cast" at the tournament >_>

i would also like to know the answer to this
seeding will be done during the making of the brackets which will be the night before the event
if you're looking for a time, brackets might be generated anywhere from friday evening to like after midnight, lol safest bet is just get as many points as you can before friday night :D

Dim sum is a chinese term for a sort of breakfast - you sit down at the table and carts roll around with various chinese breakfast foods like buns, meat, etc, and you pick and choose what you want.
I've been practicing offracing on ladder so I'm gonna be paired up against a top seed lol (not that I'd be in the upper half even if I laddered exclusively with terran)

Top 20 or 25% in rankings will be placed in the brackets in such a way where they can't eliminate each other in the lower rounds, I think. The remaining people are randomly arranged.
How do you guys randomize the brackets? I figure by now you've got a pretty good system down. The seeding should be pretty simple but what method do you use to generate the rest of the bracket?

We randomize seeding first, and THEN pull the people who belong at the top back to the top. Challonge has its own RNG and allows manual reorganization.

I've got my Steelseries 4h if its that dire a situation
Also, I should be getting onto the 7-train at 9:34 AM, according to google maps. Hopefully, I won't wander into the koreatown market and, iirc, the cement ((mixers/mixing plant)?) Was a nice walk, though.

my path to restauraunt This is where i would have to go, then. Wanna meet at the place itself, or where the 7 train comes up on this map? if not, i'll eat at home and lurk around cybercraft for a while
the plan is to meet up where the 7 comes up, since its where most people will be coming from then we go as a group since we have to be seated as a group at the restaurant

so then i should put you down as confirmed for DimSum?
Update: I put the plan in the reminders post (under the original post) hopefully it'll help to avoid any confusion, and remember, we leave the waiting spot at 9 so if you dont make it by then and you dont see us, you'll know we left
As if you couldn't have guessed the URL last night.
Edit: I'll be there at 11:30 the latest. Gotta go pick up raffle tickets (and party hats). Certified, don't take any buy-in money before I get there. Gotta make sure everyone gets a ticket.
Dim Sum in the morning Beating Micronesia in the tournament Eating 4 BK double cheeseburgers, but Blixy ate 5. Also learned some tips from atmuh about stuff at Burger King. Playing a 1v1 random DotA with ZoW and him managing to use his ult on an illusion Meeting with both dinner groups since one group was desperate to eat Korean BBQ, and another group wanted a casual dinner. Blixy failing with the lighter while wearing the glove. Pokebunny giving away his headset to Venus for a hug,
Finally, perpetually losing to Fundipper in the tournament.
Hey guys... you guys should come by channel NYC sometimes... There are players hanging out there from time to time including myself. From bronze to master players. Hopefully we can build up this channel for practice needs or just to chit chat! Looking forward to see ya all!

You bumped a thread from May... There have been four tournaments, IEM NY, the WCG event in manhattan, and about five barcrafts since this tournament. Seriously? It's not that hard.
I'm not talking about pro events.....not talking about barcrafts...i'm talking about tournaments for everyone who is NOT pro!! I've heard of no live tournaments since this one.
