Dear participants, please send me your account links from http://sc2ranks.com/ !
Hello dear TL.net community. I saw a thread in the beta, when someone tried to gather all casters to do an little tournament against each other.. My friend "good old" DalaiLameR had the idea to revive this topic and influenced me on the groundrules:
- 16 Casters shall participate
- I like the IEM system, so i think its a nice idea to do an exact copy of it.
- There shall not be a fix schedule, but it would be nice to have every game as public as possible. So games have to be announced here at time!
- There is no pricemoney, we play for the ladys!
- Every caster has to cast themselves while playing! This will be very distracting, being silent is for wussies! So grab the caster gear and train hard xD
- I hope you will record your games and upload them on youtube, blip or whatever the caster uses.
I am ready for signups, but its tough to draw a line who is a caster and who is not. So for now this tournament lives with the community as every caster does:
After the groups are set in stone, I please djWHEAT to use his official IEM bowl to draw the group settings. <3. Afterwards we use the whole september to play our matches. I want to have an daily updated matchticker in the OP. Every participant has to have 1 game until september the 30th, two games until september the 7th and all three at september the 14th.
Please note, that groups are still not set for sure. I hope for more artwort of the fans <3
Okay thats the general idea, I hope I get some feedback and pimp topic and tournament these days a little.
Groups are set. Maybe a video will follow, but we want to start this asap.

Rules: + Show Spoiler +
1. Tournament
The tournament is a copy of the IEM system.
There will be 4 groups of 4 players each. I will create and upper and an lower, maybe a medium pool, but probably i just create groups to set some cool matches like you demand, to be sure that they will happen. The best 2 of each group advance. Then a single eleminstion bo5 round starts. We do not need to do bo7 finals I guess, but we could extend anything on demand.2 Maps
I will seed the first map, every other map is loosers choice. There can be custom maps for the first map, so feel free to post and send suggestions! (Note that we still want to play serious Starcraft 2).
2.1 Mappool:
(2) Steppes of War. (2) Scrap Station, (2) Blistering Sands, (2) Xel'Naga Cavern, (4) Metalopolis, (4) Lost Temple, (4) Delta Quadrant
3. Schedule
There is no schedule set so far and I do not want to pressure anyone. We won't split the games into groupdays and I do not want to have any match overlapping with another. So, when the groups are set, every caster gets a deadline to play his games and announce the time and space here. When someone can not find free time, he need to be DQed. (Well, lately we call it "QQed", right?)
4. Casting
Every caster casts himself on his stream and records the games to upload them afterwards on his Youtube, blip, whatever - Account. That means that you are talking all the time. The idea of 15 seconds silence = DQ is very strict, but please be a caster in game, otherwise we really need to replay games.
