G4X Hosting a Starcraft2 Tourney

Lacoona · 20-09-2011 2:03am #1

Hey hey!
G4X have just announced their plans for running a Starcraft 2 tournament in Waterford on the 5th of October.
Currently the tournament is set for 16 players however I was told that if the demand is there for spots, they will re-open the tournament for 32 players

Can't wait for this

Sounds cool =D Stand no hope of entering as I'd be laughed out quicker than I could get an orbital command centre down, but will pass this info on to people far wiser and micro-ier than me!

Columc · 20-09-2011 2:18am

Tempted to go down, but its a pity its on a wednesday, have college the following day.

I wonder what the crowd would be like that will attened this, will know next week if I head down there or not.

Funky · 20-09-2011 3:48am

might attend, I dunno... midweek is pretty awkward but we'll see

also the rules on their site better be some copy paste from 9 months ago ¬_¬

IRL_Sinister · 20-09-2011 9:51am

Sigh. THAT IS ALL. Have fun and good luck!

NighTxX · 20-09-2011 12:58pm

Wow. On a Wednesday and 18+? Too bad, i wanted to go

Flanders536 · 21-09-2011 1:45pm

Hi Guys, Mark from G4X here.

Just a few points on the thread.

The Rules have been updated, and posted, We were using a basic set up in BETA and I had forgotten to update, map pools and tournament style.

The evening events we hold are mid week as we are also holding all day events starting next month, which will take place at the weekend.

Our all day events will allow players aged 12 and up to attend(with parental consent of coarse)

The all day events will not have alcohol.

This Starcraft event is pre register only, as we need to confirm numbers before the night.

If you need any more information, just reply.

Regards,
Flanders536

Cool, thanks! Do keep us at boards updated!

Khazidhea · 22-09-2011 5:36pm

Please give us an update on the prizes.

I will update on Prizes when we have a confirmation of gamers for the night, we have 2 per-registered for this SC2 tournament already.

Fighting ~~

Best of luck, guys!

Khazidhea · 23-09-2011 2:01am

Well it's difficult to make a decision without knowing. I mean ... it costs 10 euro AFAIR, right? Plus the travel expenses. Can I safely say overall it's around 50 euro? And the question is ... basically will the prize cover that?

Flanders536 · 23-09-2011 2:24pm

UPDATE: The date for this event has been changed to the 8th of October(Saturday) due to feedback and also to accommodate gamers from other county's.

Khazidhea: If we confirm 16 players in advance we have budgeted for 80Euro if not more.

NighTxX · 23-09-2011 7:44pm

Any chance on lowering the age limit to 17+? lol ;D

Hey NighTxX, sadly for this event we couldn't but for the all day event being held next month the age limit will be 12+ and we will be running SC2 at it

I will follow up with information on that event on Monday when I confirm one last detail

Pity, have prior commitments up in Dublin on that date and wont be able to make it. I will be down at the all day event however!

RoyalMarine · 24-09-2011 12:07pm

anyone coming down on the 8th, im around waterford that weekend and most likely on the beer. more than welcome to join in!

godspal · 24-09-2011 4:03pm

I might take you up on that offer Royal.

Orizio · 24-09-2011 10:48pm

I'll be there, hopefully. I suppose there is no chance you can change that map pool though? Half of those maps are awful.
