L19 Starcraft II Tournament (US/NA)

[yoyoma]

I thought it would be fun to hold a SC2 tournament for L19 members, Go players, and friends. Naturally for an event with Go players, all levels are welcome. So it will be a Swiss where everyone plays all rounds, and as the tournament goes on you will get matched with players of similar skill.

Post here to let me know your interest! Please include your battle.net name+identifier and email (you can email me andy.olsen.tx at gmail dot com if you don't want to put your email in here).

I'd be down for this, Junshin#367. And I think KGS is best choice for our means of discussion.

[Aphelion]

I'd love to join but I'm flying to korea that day. Any chance it could be earlier?

[fwiffo]

I'll tentatively plan on joining in, even though I suck and haven't played in weeks. Now we just need to get Day[9] to cast it.

I'm in, but I'm terrible. It'll give the better players someone to laugh at.

Hey, I'm in for the same reason. At least there'll be SOMEBODY you can beat. =)

Sounds like fun. I'm in. Thanks for taking the initiative to do this, yoyoma.

I just thought I should probably get everyone's email so I can send a reminder the day before etc. Post here or send me an email andy.olsen.tx at gmail dot com.

...and a 6d joins our forum because of Starcraft. Awesome, and welcome!

...thankfully, I'm better at go than at Starcraft, even if I'm bad at go. =D

I'd like to, but I'm reaaaaaly busy. It might ease up just in time though, when's the latest we can sign up?

You can sign up until check-in starts at 7:42 PM CST.

We have 10 players so far, I'd like to get 16. Tell your friends! L19/KGS Go players preferred but not required. I can't imagine it would happen, but I will limit the tourny to 32 max.

[Numsgil]

I might (probably?) be in. I'm pulling late nights at work all this week, but I think I can get rested up for a nice afternoon tournament

I'm Numsgil (of course ) #278.
