I have the CMN3, its just their anti-cheating software, works ok I guess, obviously ways around it but its not harmful at all, thousands of players use it and its not an issue. I would like to see some TL people go on there and own it up lol.
|
The website is confusing. I can't figure out how to register lol
|
SC2's release date is 7/27, that's cutting it pretty close... good to see these major orgs picking up sc2 though!

You really should've asked around with the top level players which maps to choose for the map pool..... =\

i hate CMN3 it always lagged me in cs matches, i'll probably still play though
|
I finally registered...I think.
The website is tricky. You have to register for an account if you don't have one. (I do from my CSS days...) and then register yourself as a new 1-Man team. And then go to My Account > Unique Game Ids and put in your Bnet name (xxx.xxx) and then you should be good to go!
BTW is it just me or does every page on the CEVO website load incredibly slow?
EDIT: You also need to go to Manage My Teams and register for the event itself.

Very good initiative by CEVO. I played tournaments with them for more than 2 years and it was always very well ran.
|
You guys might want to shorten the dates a bit. Blizzard is planning to have alot of downtime for SC2 about 2 weeks or more before release.

Signed up for this.. but I haven't played much sc2 since I got into the beta. Probably about 50ish 1v1 games played so far at around 1300 platinum. Oh well, hoping to win a few rounds to get my name out there.

edit: yeah, i always hated the cevo website design.. REALLY needs a revamp. honestly even the ECO site is better. they could take some notes from ESEA, and even ESEA could use work lol

thats what I was thinking too lol

They need to say what server this is for, I assume USA, I'm sure people from other servers have already signed up.

Wait... they aren't using lost temple or Metapolis, 2 of the most balanced maps for the tournament? Also they have desert oasis as part of the map pool :/ Can someone who is running this explain why lt and meta aren't being used?

Probably because of CEVOs persistently badly run tournaments
