I'll be sad if the platinum gets to compete and I don't  (Don't worry about it guys  Next week another event is being announced with the details on how these two fit together. That is a 32 man open that takes place over the whole month (2 matches/wk). And that is for each region. There is a whole system that is being put in place, it will just come out piece by piece to make more sense. Also, 16 x 8 =128, so not as small as it seems overall | ||

EDIT: For example, as far as semi-pros go (I'm assuming your definition is people who don't play SC2 full time, IE don't receive a sustainable salary) Sandbox is one of the people who is a MUST. If he isn't in the tournament, then there's a problem that others were taken above him. ** I was only able to sign up/inform team last night b/c of luck in seeing the thread. Others who didn't are out of luck, right off the bat. | ||

I actually have little clue what that money affords me. Who's casting? Is it someone that I would ever consider paying for even? How many games does this get me? When are things broadcasted? Details about VODs. Who is even playing? Hope this is received well ^^ | ||

where are the selling features? The selling features are the better stream and sponsor product giveaways to the subscribers. As for the casters, there are multiple casters for each region. Who is even playing? There's brackets on zeek, just click on the pictures of the regions. Not sure about the other questions DX | ||

People usually only do that stuff for lower cash tournaments because if they get caught it's going to be pretty bad news for their reputation. I'm still pretty concered about the 16 slots though I didn't get into the top for Midwest, kinda sad~ D:edit: woooooooooooooooooooooow dragoonnnnnnn | ||

Any chance you can expand the bracket size to 32 or 64? I'm sure a lot of people who would like to participate didn't see this thread within the first couple hours of it being up. | ||

It's larger (32 per region), and you can make the national finals in season 2, so it will be rather quick to move up! :D | ||

There are some really good players that aren't on a pro team that will be participating, and it would be really easy for a smurf to blend in with them, and with that much money online I think it will make it even more worth their time and effort to try and cheat. My guess is there will be at least 1 or 2 smurfs that play, and a crazy map hacker might possibly try to enter as well. In amateur (or in this case 'semi-pro') competitions, money often brings out the worst in people. They just need really good admins scouring the event looking for these cowards. | ||

On July 17 2012 23:57 Lumi wrote: I hope that your league goes well. I have a piece of feedback: Your OP is pretty brief, and your league new and unheard of. I think it's a mistake to talk about (or even have) the premium subscription here. I did a doubletake and said to myself, "where are the selling features? I'm being told that I can see worse than pro players and I can pay money to enhance that experience" I actually have little clue what that money affords me. Who's casting? Is it someone that I would ever consider paying for even? How many games does this get me? When are things broadcasted? Details about VODs. Who is even playing? Hope this is received well ^^ So the premium access is $5 for all 8 streams, meaning you pay $5/mo... you get 8 streams of HD and access to all the VODs in HD for a single payment. It's the same as a team subscription. Anyway, we have prizes that we will be giving away to people that do subscribe from our sponsors. *This could be power supplies, towers, SSDs RAM, etc... As we get more sponsors, more stuff is given away. *Games? You will be getting an almost nonstop stream of games from 11a to ~6p based on the timezone. *The main broadcasts are only once a month, however during the week, some of the streams will be adding more content at no charge. This means more SC2 content, and other types of games as well. The subscription also allows us to put more money into the broadcasts to improve all aspects of the league.

That way you WILL get the best players from each region, instead of accidently excluding the ones capable of winning them. No and No. The reason is this isn't just some one off tournament that is happening. What we are putting into place is an actual NA league that has rankings and structure in place to promote/demote people based on ability. I'll amend the OP to add in more information about that structure in just a few minutes. I just don't want it to be too confusing at first.

So, come 30 minutes before check in time...there's going to be an F5 fest. Actually, sign-in is set to 60 minutes before and no, it is not first come, however at 15mins before start, it becomes first come. As I mentioned above, there is a structure in place, so anyone that did not get in the first tournament, will be automatically moved into the "Swiss" tournament next month. IMPORTANT We are doing a slight adjustment to the regions. North will now be absorbing North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. If you have signed up and are from either one of these areas, signup up to the correct Z33K tournament bracket! | ||
