We have been hinting about a tournament we are about to run and here it is 
It's called the Team Dignitas Gamer Search and the point of it is to find a suitable UK or Irish SC2 player to join our ranks, but it's also a way for us to support the UK and Irish SC2 communities.
We are having 2 online qualifiers where the top 4 players will be invited to a final played at Gamerbase in London, all expenses paid.
For more info check out the quote below or go to: http://www.team-dignitas.net/2011/3/6/team-dignitas-gamer-search/11358/
The winner of this search will receive a contract with Team Dignitas and will become part of our squad. The winner will also receive a brand new Alienware M17x laptop with an Intel i7 2nd Generation processor. But it does not stop there as the winner will also be supplied with kit from Team Dignitas sponsors and will attend all UK LAN events for Starcraft II in 2011. Joining the team will mean world class training partners as team mates, that will help to fast track the development of their skills.
Finals Prizes:
1st. £750
2nd. £500
3rd. £250
4th. £150
5th-8th. £75
Map pool: - updated
Xel’Naga Caverns
Scrap Station
Shakuras Plateau
Metalopolis
The Shattered Temple
Slag Pits
Backwater Gulch
Bracket:
Round of 16 and Round of 8 will be BO3, early rounds BO1.
We are very keen on getting feedback on any rules or maps that you feel shouldnt be there so dont be afraid of speaking up
To sign up go to: http://www.team-dignitas.net/2011/3/6/team-dignitas-gamer-search/11358/ and read the instructions.

Interesting. How come you picked Irish and UK players? Sponsor or ownership reasons?
Sounds cool though. I havn't seen many UK players apart from Demuslim. Interesting to see what talent there is over there
|
I remember at the last tournament at Gamerbase, SjoW basically clean the house 
|
As for map suggestions i would replace LT with shattered temple, Delta Quadrant with Typhon peaks and blistering sands with backwalter gulch. Just as its bo1 for quite a while in the qualifiers the smaller maps are a bit too all inish.
Love the tournament though really hope i can do well!
|
I think a couple of the maps could use changing to reflect the current ladder pool, since thats how 99% of people would train for this. Couple of suggestions.
Blistering Sands -> Backwater Gulch/Slag pits
Lost Temple -> Shattered Temple
Shakuras was removed but I think everyone knows how to play that by now anyway.
Great to see dignitas doing this

Wish i was good enough to try :D

We are based in the UK and most of our sponsors are as well, plus we really dont need to help the Swedish sc2 community grow for example
If this tournament does really well we might expand to other territories as well of course

GL HF all good to see another party supporting UK SC2.
|
Wow really nice opportunity for a British player here. I just hope for a talented Scot or Irish player and not a bloody Pom ;D
|
Oh great stuff! Things like this makes me really believe in ESPORTS and 2011 as the year of sc2.

LOL, that made me chuckle deL!
Seriously though the UK as a whole does need more players to emerge and this is a great way to start that process
|
there's actually a gaming area inside HMV? :o
|
Tourny looks amazing, can not wait to give it a shot!
|
what an amazing tournament, gl to all participating!
|
I was going to suggest removing blistering sands, at the least.. it would be like having steppes of war! it's just not the same type of map as a nice, solid, macro map. too short and gimmicky!
I like the initiative. I hope you all get a good player who will be an integral part of the community.
