I accidentally registered as platinum instead of diamond. Is that a problem?
|
No, this can be easily fixed.

Oh awesome, i live so close to e-spot as well, i may participate in code a if I can just to see how i do.
Either way im definitely coming to watch, the vancouver starcraft scene is really growing this is awesome.
By my count vancouver has about 20 players in GM thats like 10% of all grandmasters league. I could be a bit off but including ppl who may have dropped out this season i think vancouver has had 15-20 players in grandmasters at some point like optikzero still would be in it if he wasnt in korea, and i think mostly the rest stayed in

Hahah, you might be the only 15 year old. but im only 14 ^_^

This tournament is going to be off the hook. The last tournament that was sponsored by Memory Express was Duke Nukem Forever, and even though the game sucks, the tournament was awesome. The prizes given out are always top notch, and the atmosphere is really good. It's great to see a computer store that cares so much about its community.

Calgary had an event advertising a large sum of money ( most of it swag) but at least they had a 1250 cash prize for top three. This is a trend I'm seeing in Canadian gaming and i hope we move past it fast. I'm sick of the over advertised events that aren't really helping the competitive scene.
its a step in the right direction ofc! But tons of events give away swag but its the events that push the cash prizes to legitimate sizes that will become successful
all the best for this event and good job landing some big names. Ill be looking forward to future events with actual cash prize pools
edmonton gaming ftw well, u will get more than what u put as an in-puts unless u choose to get better efficient opportunity costed works, than game. still I can tell is, this event is a huge sausage part..... GAMING PARTY ! prepared for everyone willing to play their local players, don't be too negative archaic since ur teammies will own this :D Oooooh, Jungho.
As for Archaic: they're doing great. They've gone a far way in just a year (if that), and if you hadn't noticed, winners and high placers get a percentage of the total entry-fee pool. Considering the base-line prizes and the huge community we have in Vancouver, I'm going to guess the pool will be quite substantial. Or did you miss that prize-pool part?
Stop being negative because you think it's not worth your time. This is a tournament for Vancouver, and I'm impressed with how far our tournament guys have come.

eh i dont play much these days and lack of practice but ill come anyways =s

Im not denying their doing great. They are! If i hadnt of noticed the 60 percent of prize pool i would have said there is no cash prize. What i said is theres BARELY a cash prize. And compared to the swag there is virtually no cash prize. Its not a question of whether it is worth my time or not. Its NOT because i couldnt even cover the cost of going there if i got first (unless you get something like 50 people signed up just for the masters/ grand masters event...then i might break even if i got first....)
Hey man im just a player whos speaking out because the event is excluding competitive people like me that are out of town. I cant justify travelling (and im sure other competitive people out of town feel the same) to compete in tournies unless there are decent CASH prize pools
and like i said im looking forward to future events with significant guaranteed CASH prize pools
tQ Fighting!!! one of u better beat drewbie since im not there :p
edit : I really dont think im being very negative at all, i said it makes me sad that i can't logistically attend this event because its catering to local rec players and not to more the competitive scene as l2sc or *cough cough project x did.. I wish i could attend but as far as money is concerned i cant..and thats why im sad.
