Great to see more local type stuff happening - Texas actually seems to be a leader in this regard.

We're working on getting a circuit going in SoCal as well - GMTA

Can I ask why PZ/AM is taking the time to try and form a community for SC2? I know there have been plenty of other games that you guys have rejected local tournament scenes for because they "weren't Japanese enough for you"

I am very excited about this and hope to attend!

Can you update it with age limits etc? I'd love to compete, especially because I live only forty minutes away, but I'm seventeen. (Not exactly young, but hey, you couldn't get into IPL3 as a competitor.) Not that I'd win, but I'm a masters player so I figure it would be some fun.

No worries! Open to all ages. =] And don't discredit yourself! You never know when a new star is going to appear... ;D

Haha, one can dream. I have horrible problems with nerves if I look at my experience in music and running races, but maybe SC2 is just my calling... XD

Edit: How much does it cost to compete?

Sounds good. I'll go as long as the entry fee for the tournament isn't outrageous. I've been to PZ before to watch the SBO qualifiers and I like the venue quite a bit. The fighting game people there were pretty cool too.

You said you are getting a "well-known" caster. If you're looking for another person to solo-cast or a partner for your "well-known" caster, please let me know.

Hey guys! HUGE Update #2 updated to the OP! Please read thoroughly and respond via the poll; you will directly determine the format for this first tournament.

You said you are getting a "well-known" caster. If you're looking for another person to solo-cast or a partner for your "well-known" caster, please let me know.


Most likely not for this first tournament, but a very good chance for future tournaments. You will need to provide some "rep" of your casting ability for us to view; we're going for high-quality casting and would have to screen you and talk with you. Same goes for anyone else interested in casting in the future. We're all for helping strong casters "break-out" onto the scene--heaven knows, Houston needs you--but you have to make sure you are up to snuff. We will return to this when discussing the later tournaments.

I put up my vote ^^

Will there be a prize for winning your qualifier? I imagine you'll have more than one right? You might also include a "what format do you want" (Bo3's etc) for the quali, if you'd like.

I'm personally all for Bo3s and a Bo5 final How many people per qualifier out of how many entrants would qualify for the tourney?

Edit: I just read the rest of the post, haha. Nvm! I think if you're taking 16 then you should do a 64 man tourny. Or 32. :D (I like the idea of being able to say I was in a up and coming LAN) I am very interested in the prize pool though... cause I can always use money. (Even remotely any cash at all. XD) Do you have an idea for the prize pool and its spread, or is it a secret?

Double Edit: Half of my edit was pointless after rereading. I hear reading comprehension is good for you.

Well that's a shame. I just realized that I have a required school function that night. How lame. I'm out for December, will non participants of December have a method of qualifying?

Another thought I had: I don't know if money will be a constraint to this, but if the tournament grows in popularity, here's an idea. Each tournament can have a Pro and Amateur entry. Kind of similar to Coda A/Code S in terms of prize pool. (At least the old format.) It would be a way for newer players to have fun, (masters/diamond maybe? No idea). You would be able to move to a pro tournament and come onto the scene while still allowing the players who got you started to continue competing. You could even give the winner of the amateur tourney a seed in the next pro tournament.

Also another idea: For the online qualifiers, will there be double elimination? That would allow high masters/grandmasters players to get in the winners bracket, and a mid masters player who accidentally got against GM would be able to beat the low diamond player who also fell, maybe in the Ro32, so that you dont end up with knocked out mid masters and placed diamond players. (For example)

There's my final .02$ Really excited to see this grow in houston! I could potentially feed you a lot of the players from my school, I know a few masters players here.
