Time for another SC2 tournament for Go players and friends!
February 19, 2011 on NA Battle.net
Checkin: 7:42 PM CST in "L19" room on bnet

New format: Pool play into multiple single elimination brackets. This will maintain the idea of everyone gets lots of games, but also end with a clear championship.

Exact format depends on number of players, but for example if we get ~12 players like we have in the past, it will be two pools of 6, and everyone plays 5 BO1 matches in pool play. Top 8 overall go into championship bracket. Bottom 4 overall go into consolation bracket. BO3 in bracket play.

I'll be casting some of the games again, and now I've figured out how to save the VODs.

These are always fun. Count me in! (BillyBanana.755)

I'm excited to see Time in this one. Should be interesting to see how he does on off-race.

Bah, I just learned that I have to go to a dinner with my family on the 19th. I'm withdrawing for now but if that changes, I'll let you know. Sorry.

Welcome, don't worry about your level this is a friendly tournament. What is your bnetid.###?



You signed up for Jinqianhan.462 and etothejwn.367 also, are they still in?

I'm in. Hope I'm not too rusty .

Congratulations to Junshin for winning the tournament!

VODs of the games I cast should be up on http://www.livestream.com/killerducky. I recommend Semi2 Game3.

As always please leave feedback on the format etc. Did you like pool play + brackets or Swiss better?

Just thought I'd mention this. In game 1 against etothejwn when I built the proxy pylon, the reason I didn't do anything after that wasn't because he scouted it but because the pylon was just a hair too far away for me to built the gateway. I don't mind if he scouts it, because he will either have to take SCVs out of the mining line to deal with the pylon (success for me) or just ignore it and deal with the zealots coming in with kiting marines. Hence why I typed "30k mistake" .
