    Hi Guys,

    I'm sure most of ye remember the previous tournaments we held. They went very well, good attendance for all events and everyone enjoyed themselves!

    I have been working with the founders for n00bgaming.com and I want to share some information with you all.

    Irelands first volunteer online gaming company is now setting up an Online Gaming Portal to aid
    in the development of online gaming in Ireland.

    Using the best in industry stardards of coding, www.n00bgaming.com will look at all the different
    elements that bring gamers together. As a non-profit company, www.n00bgaming.com will not
    be looking at how much money to take from gamers. In fact, we will not be profiting directly from
    gamers in any way. In addition to this 10% of advertisements on the site will be going directly
    into charities such as www.gamesaid.org and other charities around the world.

    Starting with an online tournament in Starcraft 2, n00b gaming will focus its build over the
    next few months by establishing itself in the gaming community as THE online site for gaming
    tournaments.

    The site itself will be hosted at here at www.n00bgaming.com and will begin with a 64 player
    Starcraft 2 tournament with a prize pool of €320 up for grabs. The first tournament is now available and entry is free!

    The site is now live, however over the next few weeks a lot of changes will take place and the site will contain other gaming information such as:

    Games news
    Gaming Trailers
    Upcoming Events
    Gaming Resources
    Forums
    And much more...

    Be ready to play like a Pr0 and register now to compete in the event on launch day from the
    comfort of your own home. Advance through the tournament to see your games broadcasted
    live and recorded on YouTube! Be in with a chance to compete against the StarCraft 2 Pr0s and
    measure your skills in the European Leaderboard that will be launched soon.

    Regards,
    Mike.

    Please tell me the map pool will be changed


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,824 ✭✭✭RoyalMarine


    Hi GosuIrish, there is no current map pool scheduled, but closer to the time one will be announced.

    I can safely say it will be based on some solid recommendations made by some top players in the SC2 scene.

    Geocities called, they want their website back...


    Seriously though. I closed the page as soon as i realised the youtube video played every time i clicked a a link.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,824 ✭✭✭RoyalMarine


    Sorry Dustaz, I was not involved in the design of the website.

    But thanks for feedback.

    Not sure about WOL but he is Gm on Hots and I think he played a showmatch vs WhiteRa. His videos were put up on Destinys channel. And Husky casted his games too

    Just immortal sentry all in till you get gm , Watch naniwas stream Hes immortal sentry push is ready to go at 8.30. Thats impossible to hold

    Nah, only works on some maps. I saw his one once, it's actually sick good. He does it off a one gate expand and it has early zeal/stalker pressure built in, so strong.

    Naniwa's stream is good! He struggles a lot vs Zerg. Even I as a Toss can see that it's not simply imbalance, it's just a bad matchup for him too. I love his 1 Gate openings, it's so cool to see him still do them after showing them off vs DRG jn the GAL ro8 so many months ago. I've been using them ever since!

    No, seriously it's like generations :D

    First it was me, Funky and omg I cant remember his name ... blinn, yeah blinn! All of us pretty much stopped playing.

    Then there were Epi and Night, I think PacWac got to masters too. Then there was a period of time I got back into, but never saw any of them online.

    When I looked at who won the tournament it was the first time I ever saw those names :D

    Hehe. I've been Master's for a few seasons now.

    It's really hard to progress at this stage. Mechanics are completely solid, good macro, micro and multitask. I think it's simply my game understanding that's letting me down (and PvZ haha).
