I took it upon myself to create a thread for this up coming tournament/lan party at Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant Michigan Starting at 6pm on November 19th and going all the way until 6am the following Sunday. There isn't a concrete time table yet but you can get more information and sign up at www.bigshotgaming.com

This marks the 2nd LAN that ICCUP.tv will be attending and casting in the Michigan area!!!!!!!!!!! <3 Diamond and Raelcun

There are some pretty sick headphones for the winners

Also up for grabs the are going to have several DAS keyboards I believe from other games/tournaments and their raffle

How is tournament registration working? You just show up with a ticket and put your name on a list once you get there?

They might play one game all at one time, who really knows. 3 days would be pretty bullshit imo.

I'm having trouble registering on the site...every time I fill out the form and hit enter the page just refreshes itself and everything is blank. I tried logging in to but obviously it didn't work because my account wasn't created.

I'll be there, maybe well see a rematch from the Sparty LAN since it looks like Lizuma is going. It's awesome that diamond and raelcun will be at this one too <3.

I'll compete in brawl and reach too as long as I'm
allowed. Does $15 cover all tournament entries?

Yeah I've having issues with the registration too.

How does the tournaments for Brawl / Reach work? Do we just bring our own controller? Is there prizes? Does the $15 cover the entry fee for every tournament and is it possible to do multiple tournaments?

Just wondering why you wouldn't just make it single elimination but have each series be best of 3 with the finals best of 5?

Bo1 with Double elimination really isn't much faster than Bo3 Single Elimination considering all the extra bracket work and making sure certain matches get played before you can do the losers bracket etc etc.

(this of course for the sc2 tourny)

Because that is slower. Much more games would be played.

We need to put together CMU,MSU,WMU and UoM starcraft 2 (1v1) teams and have some grudge matches.

What was that clan war format.. wasn't it like 4 1v1 matches and one 2v2 match?

be better if the tournament was bo3, i'm pretty concerned about the amount of cheese there will be in 1v1. Especially if Steppes is in the rotation.

iSin it'd be nice to know a couple things..
-how the map pool will be handled. Would be nice to be able to vote down maps. The map pool's better than it used to be, but i'd still hate to roll certain maps in certain matchups.
-time the SC2 tournament starts approx.

Not really, without having a losers bracket you can play the tourny straight thru rather then waiting for winners bracket to lose, then waiting for certain loser's brackets to play before you can keep playing.

/shrug

Plus it's a 2-3 day event...I'm sure there is plenty of time.

Single elim is inferior without seeded players because you could have the second best player in the tournament eliminated in the first round.

Double elim gives people a second opponent if they get an unlucky first opponent.
