Boards.ie SC2 tournament 5th of August (Signup details in here)

zoom!

Hello everyone. I know somebody else has a plan to run a tournament but I thought this would be fun to do anyway. I've created the tournament ladder which people should be able to signup on here @ http://binarybeast.com/
Go to the tournament list and type in Boards.ie. You have to register before signing up and if you could write a post here on the board saying you have.

Honestly this is really just a test to see how many would be interested in a proper tournament. It only took me 2 mins to whip this together but it should still be a lot of fun if people signup. It's on a thursday night as Respawn LAN is this weekend. It shouldn't last long, maybe 2-3 hours. It's 1v1 single elimination so if you lose once your gone. Spectators aren't allowed unless both players agree to it. However players who have participated in the tournament and lost may feel free to spectate matches if they wish.

Hope enough people are interested. I'll probably need some help getting everyone on during the night so if anyone would like to volunteer that would be great. You can find me on Bnet2 @ zooM.367 or on the irc #starcraft.ie on quakenet.

EDIT: I'm aware the title says 6th of August it will be changed to the 5th. The tournament is this thursday 5th of august.

I'd be interested but what time would it be on at?

zoom!

Probably around 7-9/10 in the evening.

Stingerbar

I might be interested.. I think a 2v2 would be fun, more than enough of us to pair up!!

Trine

Sweet, I'm in, should be fun.

Im in! If somebody had a vent server that could be used for this it would make it 10 times easier for you zoom. Instead of going around messaging people

Should we go with just one map? Blistering sands seems to be the most played

Best place to meet up is probably IRC

Not so sure if Friday is the greatest day for it, Sunday or midweek might be better.. but will be cool if it works

1v1 can scare people off, if we get enough we should try a 2v2 further on

zoom!

If people want 2v2 that can be arranged but my fear is we won't have enough players for that. If enough people sign up we can defo have a 2v2 tourney. If people could spread the word that would be great and make it easier to get some 2v2's goin.

rzelky

what if esports.ie adds teh 25e random-gamer prize on the tourney ? would that make it less scary for ppl to join this FUN 1v1 tourney ?

EDIT: Lets see how it goes this thursday, if everything goes well, we will donate small random-winner prize ! Remember its a FUN Community Tourney!

Well, I don't know about SC2, I came here for the trash-talk

RealistSpy

I am interested but I have to wait and see if am working that day.

What time you think we'll be starting? i think 7 is a good time, get people just after dinner or after work, and finish up early enough so people can sleep for work the next day. 4 hours should be enough time imo.

Please make sure to register at Binary beast. Each player must register in order for the brackets on the website to work properly. Thank you

QuadDamaged

There's one spot left guys!! Remember if your not on Binary beast then you won't be entered into the bracket. If someone doesn't show up thought I'm sure we can slot you in for them though.

MistaMagoo

I'm afraid I'm going to have to withdraw from the tournament

Next time....

Damn only seeing this now. Might be busy later. I'll keep and eye and if a space opens up and I'm free I'll jump in.

I haven't played a single multiplayer game though. And I'm only about 5 missions into single player. So needless to say I'll be just making up numbers more than anything if I do get to play.

QuadDamaged

Oh noes, I was so much looking forward to a MrMagoo/QD final

I'll be there, and if there's need for a referee I would like to volunteer after I get eliminated (that is, in 3.30 when I inevitably get 6pooled again )

Stingerbar

AAAhh its tonight? I thought it was the 6th, having BBQ, sorry can't make it

Good luck with the tourney, hope there's a good turnout!

Ok I'll clear it with herself that we're not heading anywhere and sign up so. I might learn something, if I last more than 3 mins

EDIT: Right so I've signed up. When do we fidn out who we're playing? What time? How to communicate with admins & opponents?

I will post ventrilo details here later on at about 5pm. you can contact me in irc or on the vent. The irc is #starcraft.ie on quakenet. you can also message me in game @ zooM.367 the event starts at 7 and will end at around 8:30 or 9 assuming nobody has like a 2 hour match :P if it goes beyond 9:30 or 10 we can just wait till another time to finish it.

Another installation? :eek:

Surely it'd be easier to use Xfire for all communication? It works in game and saves me having so many programs running. I'm on a laptop with vista and just 2gigs of RAM

I will be late but I will be there!

I strongly recommend getting irc. If your using firefox there is a simple addon which I use that it not complicated at all: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16/

I'll be putting a detailed post on all details and stuff later. If you don't wanna use irc you can add me and I will supply you with the details of your opponent.

Yeah, i think i should be totally given the title, even though he raped me in both games, with very similar units

Cpt.beefhart

dam already a cheater....... ****.

Are there any plans to do commentary on the games(that weren't cheated on ) ? I think it'd be good for the community.
