Now announcing the Great Northern Monthly Starcraft 2 2v2 Tournament!


After a wonderful, warm response from the SC2 community on TL regarding my 2v2 tournament held on the 2nd of March, I have decided to expand my horizons. In the next block I will do my very best to answer any questions you may have!

** Please make sure to either private message myself or post on the thread with your teammate and who you are signed up on binary beast under! The cutoff date for confirmation will be Thursday March 28th. Upon receiving the details I will mark your team as confirmed. Thanks. **

FAQ's

Where and how much does it cost to sign up?

There is no sign up cost and all teams must sign up on the Tournament 2v2 Sign Up website under either one player's name which will be confirmed or as a team. For example: Holybeardman/Holybeardwoman.

What is the prize pool?

Currently I will be putting up $100 distributed as $70, $20 and $10 for 1st 2nd and 3rd respectively. Please note all prize funds will be in $CDN and sent via paypal marked as gift.


Rules

+ Show Spoiler +

Please note * to designate 2v2 only rules

-All teams will meet in the GreatNorthernSC2 GROUP on NA Server to set up for matches.
-Teams must consist of exactly two (2) players, no substitutions will be permitted without just cause and notification**.
-All matches will be played using the most recently released version of the game.
-Players must provide their own valid Starcraft II Battle.net account.
-Any team found using third party add-ons, altered game files, or modified drivers that changes the game mechanics or provides an unfair advantage will be disqualified from the tournament.
-It is the team's responsibility to be aware of, and follow the posted schedule for the tournament. Failure to be available on time or leaving before all your games are played could result in a game forfeit or tournament disqualification.
-Matches have assigned start times, and any team that has not checked in and cannot be found within 15 minutes of the posted time will forfeit that match. Match start times will be updated as the tournament progresses, depending on how quickly we get through the games. It is the team's responsibility to be aware of times of their matches.
-Two (2) forfeits during the tournament, either intentional or unintentional will be taken as a team's refusal to play and they will be disqualified immediately.
-In the case of battle.net, network, computer or power failure, any affected matches will be restarted from the Resume Replay function.
-Either team in a match may restart the match once within the first minute (60s) for any reason.
Should a game be restarted from the beginning, the new match will be played on the same map with the same races as the aborted match. Should a player have selected a random race for the aborted match, they will then pick the same race as was chosen for them by the randomizer.
-Any Team may dispute the results of one (1) of their matches during the tournament. They must do so immediately upon completion of the match before starting any further matches, and provide the tournament organizers with a replay file and the reason for disputing the match results. The case will then be adjudicated by multiple tournament officials and the results either deemed valid, force a rematch, or reversed entirely at the discression of the tournament officials. The officials may request a replay from any players involved in the match. Since replays are recorded automatically, failing to produce your replay file will likely result in unfavorable judgement.
-There will be no communication (either battle.net or otherwise) with players outside of the game while a match is in progress, and any conversation with an opponent must remain civil.


Tournament Format

-Teams will be seeded based on current sc2ranks as well as consideration for personal achievements.
-All rounds up until the last round will be BO3, with the final being a BO5

Map Pool

2v2

+ Show Spoiler +


Overwatch (First map)
Reflection
Desolate Stronghold
Molten Crater
The Bone Trench
Hunting Ground
The Boneyard




All maps must be current map pool versions.
Losing team will always select the next map.

Match Details

The first day of matches will be Saturday, Mar 30 7:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) and should a second day be needed, the final matches will be played on Sunday, Mar 31 7:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) All matches will be played on this day. Each Set will have a 2 hour block for the set to finish. Should sets end early and both teams be ready to go, the next round may be allowed to start early.

Region

All matches will be played on the NA server. If help is required for swapping servers please add me on skype and I will do my best to set you up with the regions button for your client.

Broadcasting

I am currently looking for ideally four casters that will be able to cover two streams that way I can have both game types covered. If you are interested in filling the position every month please email me some samples of your work. Please title Attn: Hybrid League Caster.

Why restart the game in the case of a disconnect? Why not just resume from replay?

I don't quite understand this. Why do you form teams of 3 players (2v2 taem and 1v1 player) if the prizes are separate? I suggest a format closer to the Davis cup one (4 1v1's, 1 2v2 - can accomodate for 2,4 or 6 players)

Also, if you plan to make it more season-like it might be better to allow the players to not play at set times as this will allow more players (ie: European ones) which can't commit at a certain time every week or so. Casting can be easily done from replays.

Ill answer both questions in a go. The team can be anywhere from 1 to 5 players currently which should take care of playing in both brackets as well as having spares, replacements etc. As for certain times it is currently set to be a monthly online tournament with all play taking place over two days, not weekly (yet! this is my eventual goal but I just don't have the manpower to accommodate this).

Yes there are no current teams signed up. My other tourney running this week has 16 teams and I am hoping for 32+ teams for these seasons.

Ah I think I missed something that might help clarify. You earn points depending on how you place in the league. That being said. If you have a player win the 1v1 bracket and your team wins the 2v2 bracket you would essentially earn double the points as compared to someone who won one bracket. The points ladder is amalgamated and because of this it highly emphasizes playing both brackets as a team. That being said. If someone signs up for the 1v1 league alone they still have a chance at having the top point total by consistently placing higher.

So I just want to clarify. You're only allowed to sign up for 1v1s if you're a part of a 2v2 roster that's playing also, but if your scheduling conflicts you have to pick which to play in? Or wha o.o? From what I understood you wanted to restrict this to small teams playing in both events together which sounds cool.

No you can do either or. You can sign up for purely 1v1 if you so choose but there is more benefit from having atleast 3 players so you can do 1v1 and 2v2 bracket with no scheduling issues etc. Please let me know which part is confusing so I can straighten it out.

I just wanted to make sure you could play individual league without being on a "team roster" if you wanted.

Sounds like a cool idea!
Hope this thing can be a new 'daily' replacement if it gets big enough and interest in additional funding
Cool

Please let it be known this isn't limited to any specific leagues. If you cannot make all of the tournaments in a season its also not a problem. If need be I can replace a team or player with someone else. To sign up, post here as well as by emailing. Thanks for your interest.

Very fun tournament to watch/stream (but then again 2v2 tournaments always are ) Thanks for setting this up HBM!

Unfortunately our mic was wayyy too low and there's a bug in SC2 that the in-game volume keeps getting louder without you doing anything, so don't turn your sound up to hear the casting or you'll go deaf from the game sounds . But at least you can see the games if you missed them!

Here's the games we casted for tournament #1
RO8
RO4
Finals

I hope we can cast some more 2v2 tournaments in the future
