A reunion where we watch Pokebunny win more stuff.
Tournament 8.0 Patch Notes (for people who attended the previous ones) + Show Spoiler +
Each player is responsible for their own time/account at the netcafe ($4/hour or $3/hour with membership). If you run out of time in the middle of a game, it is an automatic loss.
Players must wear their name tags during the tournament.
There will be NO walk-in sign ups. However, spectators are very much welcome.
Players will check in from 12:00PM to 12:45PM. The tournament starts at 1:00PM and all technical problems should be resolved beforehand.
No spectators are allowed in-game.
Bad manners will not be tolerated.
There are a lot of breakable doodads at the netcafe. You break it, you buy it.
Lag/Disconnect Rules
If battle.net mass disconnects before the finals, all games will be replayed by default.
If battle.net disconnects during the finals, the games will be replayed at the discretion of the hosts. A decision will be made with input from the audience.
If there is an unplayable amount of lag on your computer, pause the game and ask a host to check the state of your lag. The game may be replayed if the lag is caused by the computer. Games will NOT be replayed if the player lags because they set the graphics settings to ultra/ultra.

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. Report all results to me in-game. I can be found in the community chat channel listed below or you may ask me for my character info at the event. 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
Check-in ends around 12:45pm. Make sure you are checked in with me as soon as you come in. Anyone NOT checked in with me by 12:45pm 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 will result in a disqualification. With so much drama both in-game and in real life, this becomes that much more important. Hacking is not actually permitted despite what anyone else says. If you manage to use hacks here you will be disqualified and banned. Physical violence will result in removal from internet cafe and permanent ban from all future events. No excuses.
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
For a 32man[64man] tour top 10players[21players] will be seeded. Seeding is based off ladder ranking using sc2ranks. Players will be added to the division linked below. + Show Spoiler [Previously] +
Due to ladder lock and season change, seeding will be based off season 2 rankings because there is not enough time in season 3 before the event for rankings to be leveled out where everyone is where they belong. Since ladder will be reset the 19th-20th rankings will be recorded the night of the 18th and that will be used to seed the appropriate players.
Updated: Since ladder unlock is now scheduled for the 26th, seeding will be done using rankings from season on the night of the 22nd.

I'm willing to play a few games vs you if you like. If i'm around for the summer -.-
if I don't get a summer job in this town, I'm gonna be dragged out to Montauk in long island to get a job on the docks or something. I won't be able to maintain my pasty-white complexion D: or play sc2... for the -entire- summer.

It's okay, out of 64 people, only 32 show up anyways
This time please have strict time rules! Last tournament I started my first match after 2 pm. After waiting for 2 hours. If we have stricter time and start the first matches on time, I'm sure we could even do a 64 Bo3 double elimination in 1 day.

Another rule, I think, to prevent offensive gg? As in, saying 'gg' first after the 1:00 mark = forfeit?

Automatic forfeit if you don't make it back on time? We'll figure something like that out.
Stop pretending like people BARELY just made it on the roster, as if 80 ppl arent going to sign up and demand that it be extended to a 64-man single elimination tournament......

Im just going to leave this here because i feel like it is relevant to our community

Just like the back and forth between you and ONESonkie during WCG event? lol
It was all part of my brilliant master plan to "psych out" my opponent. This is a common tactic used by MC against iDrA and highly effective. I am however extremely resistant to BM attacks because of the excessive DOTA I played.

Lawl, it's so small that we won't actually stop you from doing the little meetup you edited out. We only take up 16 during our normal tourney, and it'll be even less for the PL + silly games.
I think I'm supposed to go to Hurricane Harbor that day. Are you guys playing 13 or 16 tile mahjong? And are you doing dinner after? I can try to catch up with you guys sometime later in the day after I get back.
Hehe, I'm guessing that's sarcasm but it's all cool! It's just the title of our Starcraft series so nothing major, plus like dgReborn says, there is a difference of 1 e!

buy-in goes directly into prize pool no other use for it ^^
and if we got well over 64 people sign ups meaning a significant backup list, we'll consider changing it to a 64man tour
btway: WCG event at Columbus Circle on July 18th. I know it's not a WCG qualifier, but it's still very exciting.
june 18? I can't tell if that is a typing fail or a actual answer fail. I'm gonna assume it was both somehow because I enjoy thinking the worst of people.
I feel so loved. I would shrug if it wasn't going out of style in overuse.
On a side note, being sick and coughing all day in a office is a quick way to be sent back home. Also screw SC2!! LoL having 200k god damn viewers at dreamhack has made me realise thats where the shit is at! Also I could always blame my team when I lose.

If you make money. You can sign the keyboard.
if someone said that they would give you a mechanical keyboard if you threw your current keyboard (the qsenn with all the sigs on it) in the streets to have it run over by cars, would you?
oh wow, I'm actually off from work that day, but it's the day after my birthday party so I'll probably be recovering But if the tournament lasts into the late afternoon/night I might show up.
I spoke to Certified at the WCG event in June, I'll be happy to sponsor a future GSL/GSTL season ticket for the winner of the tournament.

I updated the water, it shouldn't be above the lower ground anymore. The editor can be fidgety sometimes. Were there sharks in the map corners when you looked at it?

Bonus points if you get famous. Because once someone is famous in American media, they STAY famous, for life. Even when their careers are announced as over. Plus, getting famous gives more opportunities for money.

I suppose this can work as long as no one throws up or makes a mess of cybercraft and that no one is a super angry drunk whos gonna flip out, lol

64 and double elimination is entirely possible. TLnet open somehow manages to go through 1024 brackets in similar time we go through 32. Now i am all for laid back atmosphere but when youre leaving 30 people overboard just so the other 32 can feel complete freedom when to play their matches(including some playing other online tournaments in the past) that aint right.

No doubt a 64 man double elim would be awesome to try to squeeze in one day, but it has its complications...
Single elim tournaments just seem so unforgiving and tend to discourage other from attending future events if they find themselves matched with the likes of pokebunny, lgy, yourself or yen in the first round......

Where in Jersey? Figure out which NJ Transit or Red and Tan bus can get you to the Port Authority, and take the 7 from there to Flushing.
Passaic County, i just need to figure out whats going on etc. that weekend/day and if any of my friends would be going or not.
Having just moved to the greater NYC area and job hunting I haven't had much opportunity to learn how to get around the area much.
Yeah, just go on NJ Transit's website and it'll tell you which bus to take to get to the Port Authority, hop on the 7 from there and then it's just a short walk to Northern Blvd.

I live in Rockland County, went to TZ for highschool. Pearl River kids would vandalize our rock by painting it blue. We would vandalize their tennis wall by painting dicks on it.
Haha, I feel so bad that I'm in the "evil" school district now.
I'm sorry, I'm just staying at the Hilton here, that's all, my class is in Rockleigh NJ!! Anyone know of anything halfway decent or interesting around Orangetown (I think that's what it was) NY? There's like two buildings here and a ghetto ass gas station...

I work at a laboratory in Rockleigh, NJ. Nothing really to note there other than the country club, mostly just corporate offices and such.
Welcome to Rockland county. There's the Palisades Mall... and that's about it. Main Street Nyack if you're into bars and clubs and such. I think Pearl River still has bowling lanes, but I haven't gone bowling since I was like 8. Nearby Montvale might still have bowling lanes, not sure about that either cause I heard the Montvale skating rink/arcade got torn down.
Just take a bus down to the city and be done with it. Red and Tan bus lines, 11A/T i think would be your route.
Cool, I'm over at the Crestron buildings on Volvo drive. :D
I went to the mall yesterday with a friend who met me out here for the day on a trip, that mall is huge compared to anything we got in the Northern VA / DC area. o_o Thanks for the info, I'll look into it. :D
Ha, you're down the street from my lab on King Rd. What are you doing there, some kind of internship?
Yeah, I think it's the second largest mall in the United States. There used to be a cybercafe there where I'd play Broodwar and CS, but it went out of business.
You can go either way, the question is whether or not you can play in the tournament, but every time we expand to fit everyone anyways. Don't see why we can't do that with highest seeds getting byes.
Leave it at 32. 64 people won't show up and 64 with double elim is gonna take more than 1 day. The one that I won was 32 double elim and we ended at 10. Trust me sons.

Just stick to one computer and put your gear there so people don't take it. Last Cybercraft was 64 man single elimination and that one pretty much finished on time. I don't see 32 double elimination being that bad as long as we keep on schedule. Btway just needs to crack the whip and get the nerds rolling.

Edit: Also No TvTs plox
That would certainly work, but single elim sucks for whoever get poke first round
edit: misread, a 32 double elim is fine, a 64 single elim takes longer*
I am against 64 man single elim.... single elim tournies suck butt and leave grudges.....
I highly doubt 64 people will show up.... maybe we should have a 64 man double elim (since it will REALLY be a 4_something double elim) and give people bye's accordingly.....

This. We've already had a ton of 64 person tournies, lets at least have a double elim every once in a while.
I don't think 64 man is a good idea. So many people have dropped already, not to mention the countless people who don't show up and never say anything, and last minute drop outs... seems like everyone is more in favor of double elim too.
well at this point i have to agree with 64 man double being pointless. People who are on the waiting list are likely to have made alternative plans already. But i think for 9.0 we ought to go for 64 people double elim and just have deadlines for when each round is to be played..

We tend to have a rough deadline of rounds, and when each one starts to keep it on par, but it's hard to do that when some players 8 pool two games and that series ends in 10 minutes, and another series consists of 2 base turtles every game.
The tournament admins (<3 Cert & Lisa) Have almost tried everything, but it's how each game is played that is the most important factor, which also happens to be uncontrollable. 64 man tournaments are also quite longer, it may not sound like much being it's only one round more than 32, but we don't have 64 computers to cater to each player for personal use throughout the entire tournament.
It kind of flows like this:lets say we have ~40 computers with tournament games being played at once, give or take a few. When they are done, the remaining players have to then wait for those people to unplug their gear, then they have to set up, and change the settings to their liking. After that they usually take another minute to play a practice game with the AI, and then that series gets started. After that, they have to get up, and the losers bracket usually goes, and after that, Ro32 etc etc etc.
It's a lot to handle, and time isn't on our side. 64 man tournaments are a lot more rough.
(Also, I didn't make this just at your post, but a generalization that should be pointed out to people who get upset when they hear it's anything other than 64 man Double Elim, <3 TLNY)
I think people are still under the assumption that 64 people will actually show up...... There wont be 64 competitive people that show up.... I promise....

Also raising the chances that someone can, through pure luck, knock out Pokebunny.
Personally, I like having 5 places being awarded rather than 3. Thoughts?
Everyone should cheese him. EVERYONE. but rewarding fifth through first place sounds like an incentive for people to come, as they have a larger chance at winning something. How are we doing on sponsors?

Although tbh I think one prize spot is the best overall....
yes, third place should be the only one given cash.

Hey guys, sorry to pull a last minute cancellation, but there's pretty much no chance of me making it tomorrow. Had to schedule a job interview and unfortunately ATM employment>Starcraft, atleast for me.
