Note: This tournament is being rescheduled due to performance issues that occurred on Wednesday night when we received an unexpected and overwhelming amount of traffic. We will keep you guys updated and let you know when we have finalized the date/time for the event to take place. I'm very sorry for any inconvenience or annoyance this has been for you guys.

Playhem and IPL are excited to announce that we'll be hosting a $1000 Open Tournament! The event will take place on the NA/LA server and run over two days. This will be the first major tournament Playhem has hosted and we really need everyone to provide as much feedback as possible on their experience with our tournament platform.

Signup: http://playhem.com/tourney/10340/by/neebSAGA

[Update: We'll be giving out several hardware prizes to stream viewers, all autographed by none other than White-Ra, courtesy of the great guys over at Tt eSPORTS!

Update 2: Tournament now open to ALL leagues =D



[image loading]

Date/Time: TO BE DETERMINED!

Check-in: 45 minutes prior to the start of the tournament, you'll get a notification on Playhem saying "You have X minutes to check-in, press I'm Here" once you hit that you're checked in and you'll notice a green "Here" next to your name in the tournament's player list. You can join channel Playhem on Starcraft2 to look for your opponent or add them to your friends list via nickname and character code which is shown above the brackets.

*If you aren't seeing this notification once check-in has started, be sure to disable any no-script and ad-block plugins on Playhem as they may interfere. Also try refreshing the page, although you shouldn't have to as Playhem uses automatic live update scripts.


[image loading]

Confirmed casters for live event coverage are Frodan and Stim.TV. Also, some of the big games will be cast from replay by the amazing guys at IPL and will be broadcasted on IPL TV.

Be sure to tune in to the live streams because several viewers will be selected to receive free hardware from Tt eSPORTS! All gear is signed by White-Ra!!

Bronze to Grandmaster. As stated above, this tournament is a test of our mass bracket system so it's important that we have as many players as possible.

1st Place: $600

The IGN Pro League is very happy to be partnered with Playhem for this. They have given us a comprehensive tour of their system and they really respond and listen to feedback from both us and the community. Help them fine tune their system by giving them some great feedback while competing for $1000!

I wanted to come and give some feedback on the Playhem site. I was not sure if we should be posting here or somewhere else but I couldn't find a good place on the Playhem site to send it.

First off I really do love the site and think it's a great platform for hosting tournaments, however it does have some quirks I think could be useful fixes.

1) Being able to message anyone through the chat system would be great especially since you can't see someone's character code unless you are actually playing against them.
2) On the page of the actual tournament you have selected it would be nice if there was a Information tab added where it would show things such as Map Pool, All the Admins (I know there was an instance where I didn't know there was more than one admin so I only tried contacting the one and he was busy), The channel that is being used in SC2 (I know most of the time it's Playhem but I think down the road more people will start using seperate channels), etc.
3) I love the automated advancing system for the brackets, but sometimes I feel like it doesn't work perfectly so it would possibly be nice if there was an alternate manual system that could be used. This is not that big of a deal because for the most part it has worked, but such things where my partner did not show and therefore forfeited, I could not advance myself and had to contact an admin or even the possibility say after 15-20 mins that the match is supposed to start give the user the ability to advance yourself if your opponent didn't show. I do realize this could take away hassle from admins but at the same time cause it if someone reported a false forfeit.

Anyways that is just from what I have seen so far. Again I really love the site and it's definitely user friendly, keep up the good work and hopefully my feedback is constructive
