Rough date with The Gathering & Copenhagen games at the same weekend, but should be a fun event none the less! :-)
|
Already booked and payed  . I managed to check the player list and demuslim is booked to go but not under the EG clan tag so did he move clans or somthing?
|
The names that are used on multiplay are simply the players multiplay user name, and is unlikely to ever change - so sometimes it can be difficult to tell which "Multiplay" nickname belongs to which "SC2" nickname.
Chances are it could just be an old nickname.

@Holcan, Hamsters not going
@Noam, TG and CHG is muuuuch larger than this. so its really a lan for uk >_>; euros will be at them events
@This event. Oh god, i41 worked to be such a mega success, why are you doing this bracket system again? Yeah it might work smoothly, but omg it went so so bad as a players POV. Forcing zergs onto steppes of war. Brillo. :/
|
We dont have Steppes of war
The maps I have chosen are better suited to Macro play - which removes alot of the early game problems Zerg would have in the old tournaments.
|
macro play... Pretty sure i just saw Backwater Gulch, Slag pits.
and close spawns Shattered Temple / Metalopolis.
Do you play starcraft? By any chance..
|
Personally I think Crossfire SE, ICCup Testbug and Scrap Station would be better than Backwater and Slag Pits
|
I have to admit to considering Test Bug and Crossfire while I was narrowing down the maps. After seeing Testbug even more during MLG it's got a great chance of replacing one of those two you mentioned.
I still have a couple of weeks to iron maps out. I may even be changing a couple of the rules for map choosing and BO1 in group stage (based on no. Of signups).
Keep the feedback coming. I am open to considered remoulding before the final week.

Perhaps use the MLG versions of maps where it is available to avoid close spawns etc?
|
You read my mind Noam! I will change that this evening/tomorrow. Might still include Testbug but which to switch out?
|
Gosh I remember flying over for i21 years ago... Back then it was for counterstrike. Really tempted to go again, was so much fun

I am thinking about attending this, what is the latest you can buy an i42 BYOC ticket/sign up for this tournament?
|
Tickets will sell out and I think we are running low, so watch out you don't leave it too late. You can sign up for the tournament as late as the Friday at LAN.
I actually quite like slag pits personally! Shame. Will switch that out for Testbug. I prefer to have a good tournament overall if possible!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, all well, good luck:D

Updated map list, map choices etc. Also we have our first confirmed coverage from ukesports and LeonStarcraft.
|
hmm, so I must bring my own computer for this?
I'm coming with a group of players from Israel and bringing computers along is a pain that I'm not sure we can handle :/
