Posting this so there is a greater chance for people to look for this tomorrow because no players can post in this thread and therefore they might miss it. | ||

*** MAJOR UPDATE!!! *** Due to the grand generosity of TL user and manager of website http://entusgalleries.com , razorsuKe, we now have the following prizes for our top finishers: ![[image loading]](http://entusgalleries.com/pics/rsl-prizepack.png) The way the sponsor would like the prizes to be distributed: 1st place gets first pick 2nd place gets 2nd pick Link to gallery: http://entusgalleries.com/sale.php *** MAJOR UPDATE 2!!! *** Inactivity has plagued this ladder! This is unfortunate but most likely a product of the security that players have experienced in their top positions and the winter break having passed. But the break is now over! I expect ALL players to remain active and take an example from users [RSL]Uppercut and [RSL]Seacoast who have been online and active almost every day despite the dearth of players! However, there is a solution in sight. This is going to hopefully revitalize your interest in the league, because this will [b]greatly affect placement on the ladder, and thus eligibility for the tournament. Without further ado, I'd like to introduce: ** DAILY TOURS ** These tournaments will begin tomorrow. The point prizes have been increased: 2 wins vs. [RSL]Points or Points2 on MotW for first place 2 wins, 1 loss for second place on MotW 1 win, 1 loss for first place on MotW There will be one every day that I am available (which is most days right now) at a different (randomly-generated) time of the day in order to cover all timezones as evenly as possible. There will be at least ~24 hour notification before each tournament, so you can plan ahead to attend! Here is the link for the first tournament which will happen tomorrow: vv >> http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/tourney/view/22512.html << ^^ Rules posted in tournament thread: THIS TOUR IS FOR [RSL] PLAYERS ONLY!!! Format: 16 players max, all rounds Bo3 All games must be played in "One on One" mode. All maps are determined by the players (ignore the default Alternative). If an agreement cannot be reached, then the maps that will be played have to be MOTW in the order that they are posted on the server when you type in "/motw". Additional prizes: 1st place = 2 win vs. [RSL]Points, MotW 2nd place = 2 win 1 loss vs. [RSL]Points, MotW 3rd place = 1 win 1 loss vs. [RSL]Points. MotW Channel for the tour will be "op RSL" GL HF!! | ||

DAY 26 EVENT Today's random event is "4. Random potential caster for tournament main revealed" So without further ado... The caster to be revealed today is number 2: sGs.LMaster // L_Master@Teamliquid Main Race:  Regular in DR tournaments Consistent caster Channel link: http://www.twitch.tv/L_Master/ I'm very excited about this caster being potentially available to cast games during the tournament. He has a high-energy approach to casting, with a great mastery of the English language and clean enunciation, with occasional funny konglish-sounding pronounciations like 'plaguuuuuu' and 'probu'. Big pre-emptive thanks to L_Master! Also I want to congratulate [RSL]Seacoast for his win by default in [RSL] Tour #02. One free win vs. [RSL]Points on MotW will be awarded to him. Free points for activity! Sweet deal, eh? ;D | ||

DAY 28 EVENT Today's random event is "11. Random player interviewed". So without further ado, here is our interview with player #22, [RSL]Singsong (matchlist) who is currently D+ and in 11th place on the ladder: [1:12:38 PM] [RSL]Admin: Hello Singsong, how are you doing? [1:12:47 PM] [RSL]Singsong: fine [1:13:12 PM] [RSL]Admin: So first things first, what is your opinion on the concept of this tournament? [1:14:43 PM] [RSL]Singsong: It's something different, so I thought why not try it. [1:15:09 PM] [RSL]Admin: That's what I aimed for! What is your favorite aspect so far, and least favorite? [1:21:08 PM] [RSL]Singsong: As neither of the player knows the opponent's race, the game itself plays out very differently from the usual standard, so that's pretty refreshing. My least favorite aspect is probably the ladder stage in the. Due to the limited number of players, I would have skipped it. [1:22:00 PM] [RSL]Admin: The activity level dropping was certainly unfortunate ): But I'm very excited for the main tournament, and I hope you are too! I was going to ask what you would have changed about the league, but I just got my answer above. [1:22:42 PM] [RSL]Admin: Moving on to the next question, besides your main MUs, what is the most difficult MU that you have had to play? What about the easiest? [1:24:40 PM] [RSL]Singsong: I'd say PvZ is my easiest so far and ZvT my hardest. [1:25:21 PM] [RSL]Admin: Who is the toughest opponent you have faced so far? [1:28:23 PM] [RSL]Singsong: Tough question, maybe barmaid. I looked rather weak vs him. [1:29:29 PM] [RSL]Admin: Do you think it's possible to guess who someone is based on your games? Any guesses as to what someone's AKA is? [1:30:19 PM] [RSL]Singsong: Not from the few games vs each one. [1:30:36 PM] [RSL]Admin: Okay, now here are the fun questions. [1:31:14 PM] [RSL]Admin: 1. Who is the player you think would do best in this tournament? If you name someone in it, I will reveal that they are participating. [1:31:50 PM] [RSL]Singsong: Probably Michael [1:32:02 PM] [RSL]Admin: Michael(OD) is in this tournament! [1:32:10 PM] [RSL]Singsong: ^^ [1:33:41 PM] [RSL]Admin: 2. You have two options: either a. Reveal a player's participation in this tournament or b. Reveal a player's max rank. Choose A or B, and tell me a number between 1 and 49 (corresponds with a certain player). [1:34:50 PM] [RSL]Singsong: B and 5 [1:35:19 PM] [RSL]Admin: B5 is [RSL]Vibrator and his max rank is B+ [1:35:44 PM] [RSL]Admin: 3. Choose a player that you have played against during the ladder stage. I will reveal his max rank. [1:36:03 PM] [RSL]Singsong: barmaid [1:36:17 PM] [RSL]Admin: [RSL]Barmaid's max rank is also B+. [1:37:22 PM] [RSL]Admin: Last question, 4. Reveal one or more of the following about yourself: a. Your main alias b. Your current team c. Your country d. Your max rank e. Your main race Go! [1:37:48 PM] [RSL]Singsong: e. Terran [1:37:52 PM] [RSL]Singsong: hard to guess^^ [1:38:06 PM] [RSL]Admin: Haha, okay, so you have opted for further secrecy! [1:38:44 PM] [RSL]Admin: Thank you for your time today, good luck in the ladder! There are tournaments that will be ran until the Ladder stage is over that will give you more chances to advance in the rankings. [1:38:58 PM] [RSL]Admin: Before we go, any shout outs? Be careful though! [1:39:43 PM] [RSL]Singsong: I'll keep myself covered for now  .[1:40:18 PM] [RSL]Admin: Okay, good answer lol. Have a nice day and thanks again, cheers! [1:40:36 PM] [RSL]Singsong: you too From this interview we have gotten the following information: [RSL]Vibrator's max rank is B+ [RSL]Barmaid's max rank is B+ Michael(OD) is in this tournament. [RSL]Singsong's main race is  TerranGL HF! | ||

Here are the results and replays from today's tournament: [RSL]Forester[RSL]Lawgiver [RSL]PseudoCongratulations to the winners! >> http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/tourney/grid/22614.html << Replay download link: >> http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/replays/tourney/22614.html << Third and fourth place match replays: + Show Spoiler + http://repdepot.net/download.php?type=rep&id=52593&name=%5BRSL%5Duppercut+vs+%5BRSL%5DPseudo.rep http://repdepot.net/download.php?type=rep&id=52594&name=[RSL]uppercut vs [RSL]Pseudo.rep http://repdepot.net/download.php?type=rep&id=52595&name=[RSL]uppercut vs [RSL]Pseudo.rep ** TOMORROW'S DAILY TOUR ** Starts in 11 hours! >> http://www.iccup.com/starcraft/tourney/view/22632.html << *** MAJOR UPDATE *** In the waning weeks of this ladder, it has been my mission to increase activity and give a chance to the people who were busy during the holidays or who had just recently signed up for the tournament, doing whatever would help them get some games in. So far the tours have helped some people a lot! But I think there is something else that can be done, that would potentially improve the main tournament as well. Therefore, I have decided to change the format of the tournament: SEEDS BASED ON LADDER POSITION WILL NOW BE USED IN DETERMINING THE INITIAL BRACKETS OF THE MAIN TOURNAMENT! If that doesn't encourage activity, I don't know what does ^^; One bit of relevant information is this: you can't just check to see if people are online by checking the channel! Players have told me that they like to play on their main alias while checking the channel through chat commands to see if there are people online. This will not work so well! Why? Because 1. People could already be in RSL games of their own, 2. People could be signing on, seeing no one, and promptly leaving, therefore depriving you both of gametime, 3. Players such as [RSL]Uppercut often play 2v2 or UMS while waiting for others to sign on. So what does this mean? I suggest that you also play 2v2 or UMS while waiting for games ^-^; I'm sure we can get some games that way! GL HF! | ||

People who could not make the tournament on time show up during it, hoping to catch games against the participants after they are eliminated or once the tournament is over. And that is of course besides the fact that the tournaments themselves guarantee games for players... If I have misunderstood you, please elaborate ^^ | ||
