View Full Version : SC2 Tournament (First of many hopefully)



Bullet Wound
4 Aug 2010, 12:56pm
Alright so about 11-12 people have sc2 here so I was thinking maybe we could get a little tournament going. Due to the large gaps in skill level we have here I was thinking 2v2s would probably be the best bet. Just wondering if there are enough people here interested to get this going.

(We can have 2v2 teams picked at random to be fair if needed)



This is the list of players and their info to be added (if you also have SC2)
Ganzta - Dan 477
powernos - bored 579
jasper - Jasper 496
matthew123 - Matt 715
bulletwound - BulletWound 366
archy - Archy 815
sexy fish - SmexyFish 863
zealot -Zealot 985
Kscorp- Kscorp 297
Spiritwind - Spiritwind 255
potshot - PotshotPolka 334

Jasper

I'd be down for sure. Either one is fine really.

I'm not as good as Mr. Bullet or Zealot, but I'm holding my own in Silver league right now.

Matt
5 Aug 2010, 10:37am
im in but sooner then later wudbe great :D
if you guys need another person I could get my brother who is not in SG to play with me if theres 2v2 that just if we need more people

Bullet Wound
5 Aug 2010, 11:46am
Alright well we got 9 votes (plus zealot who didnt vote) and most of them are for 2v2 with most people in 1v1 saying they would be fine with 2v2.

Therefore we have enough for a 10 man 2v2 tourny right now, I'll wait a little longer to see if we can get up to 12, but as it stands ill make up random teams and get the tourny set up now (I'll set it up for 10 and if 2 more come in ill add them)



Here is a link to the Tournament: http://challonge.com/sgsc2tourny

NEW Teams are:
Jasper, Spiritwind
B0red, Morningafter
Ngo, Potshot
Zealot, Matthew123
Bullet Wound, Sexy Fish


Style will be double elimination (So you have to lose 2 games to be out), we can do best of 3 or single games.

If you want different teams i can re-random them, but you can't choose who you get due to obviously being able to stack a team.

Matt

sweet one thing umm the dates of games???

sweet one thing umm the dates of games???

When we are all ready, get in contact with your teammates, then contact the other team and set up a time good for you.

Make sure to tell me when it is (pm or something) then tell me the result.

Others are welcome to watch your games if they'd like.

GL everyone!

(Also teams are changed)


Rules Update: Matches are best of three, you advance according to the tournament flow, and after you lose two matches of best of 3 you're out.

I suggest you hold off a week or two, we have a lot of people that just bought the game and haven't played it much at all, and maybe they'd be willing to participate after a little practice.

Yea seems like lots of people are busy in the upcoming days (myself included actually), so we'll hold it off for like a week. Give people time to practice, as quite a few are new.

The teams and such will remain the same and such, so practice with them if you want during this time (if new players join we'll deal with that then).

BulletWound and SmexyFish, lol. That's a well rounded team right there.

Me and my teamate should be at rape status by the end of the week.

Here is my account for SC2:
BillSmauz and my code is 775
I am in the lower end of the Gold league.

If I may offer a suggestion though for the tournament, I'd suggest creating a match making system fro the tournament similar to BNET's match making system.
Bronze players paired with other Bronze players and lower tier Silver players
Silver players paired with other Silver players and lower tier Gold players
Gold players paired with other Gold players and lower tier Platinum players
Platinum players paired with other Platinum players and lower tier Diamond players
and finally. Diamond players paired with other Diamond players

Theres no point really, we have no true Diamond or Platinum players and mabey one or two gold.

Actually me, Zealot and Hiphop are all platinum, though hiphop deserves to be on a lower tier (no offense lol).

But yea, theres no real reason to separate us into sections, unless we start doing 1v1s teams can be balanced by pairing good players with weaker players.

Yea im the shitty player in my team

So FYI I'm leaving this Monday till Friday, so we'll probably be starting next Saturday, we might also have to re-arrange the teams by then, due to many more people joining already.

Completly noob in the SC serie but have played games similar to it before ofc. Open for anything if anyone wants. EU ofc if we have any of those

Me vs Bullet is always a good match cause Bullet is so bm when he gets marine pushed.

Plus I cry to baneling busts.

Jasper
9 Aug 2010, 10:58pm
So are the teams set now? If so, couldn't we get our matchups now? It'd be nice to be able to get the first round out of the way if the 2 teams decided to.

Btw, I hope everyone knows I can only play online after 6pm central.

Edit: Nvm. Just noticed the teams might get re-arranged. And here I was, confident in my partner.

11 Aug 2010, 05:57pm
Well turns out I am back early (camping was boring....eat, sleep, swim, repeat) and since we have an even 18 players (20 votes buy shamwow doesn't have the game and mcbride said no) I can re-evaluate the teams and then we can start. Threads been up for a week now so its safe to assume anyone who was gonna be interested would have seen it by now (Gantza is also a possibility to play since he can't sign in the fourms and see this, so we'll see).

Anyways I'll re-work the teams and we can start ASAP.

Zealot
11 Aug 2010, 07:44pm
Working Saturday morning till 5-6 pm EST, but then I'm good to go till Tuesday. Some practice scrims on Friday sound good for everyone?

Edit: 4-3 in Plat not counting placements (8-4 if ya do :D)

Bullet Wound
12 Aug 2010, 12:24pm
Well we now have 19 players...so we gotta wait till 1 more shows up, or if 1 person wants to be on two teams, or if 1 person wants to drop out.

I re-did the Tournament info here: http://challonge.com/sgsc2tourny

Once again its Double Elimination, Best of 3 Rounds

Good Luck Everyone, we start whenever you're ready (so now) pms would be nice when you're doing your rounds but not required, but pming me with the results are obviously required.

(Also if you really dislike your teammate or something like that pm me and I'll try and work around it)

16 Aug 2010, 07:36am
Well, looks like no ones playing so I guess we'll just call it a 9-way draw. My teammate didn't respond to my PM so I'll assume he died or something.

GG chaps.

Matt

16 Aug 2010, 01:26pm
Wow, that sucks. Jasper and I had spent some time practicing together and had a good flow going already.
I hope the new guy I'm teamed with can get on so him and I can do the same ^^.

17 Aug 2010, 11:13am
Alright well it seems that many people here decided to sign up and then just ignore the tournament altogether afterwords.

Therefore for those who actually want to play and just cannot get the people to answer them, we will start dropping players, this way the tournament will actually get played through.

So if you have tried to get a hold of your partner or opposing team and they have not answered, PM me and I will drop them (after trying to get ahold of them myself) and re-organize the tournament accordingly.

If you get dropped don't start raging because you were only gone for a few days or something like that, its been going on for well over a week, and we will be having more in the future.

Hopefully this way we can actually play the game.

Because he signed in today.

Instead of making a new thread, I'll just post it here.

I was talking to Bullet about making this tourney a 1v1. By doing this we eliminate the times you can't find your partner(s) and everything will be balanced around player skill. The matches will be shorter and so we could even have a loser's bracket. 1v1 also means you will not be carried or owned by some cheese strats, all in all more fair play. The only problem is how we're going to match people up. Most tourney's have players of even skill level and so that's how we tried balancing 2v2, so I guess we'll just try to randomize the matches.

After the 1v1 tourney we can access where everyone's skill level is at and thus make new proper teams for the 2v2.

Yep pretty much this, I will send a pm to everyone explaining the details and the new teams (well, its 1v1 so you are your own team).

The ling for the tourny is still the same, i am just editing it, however it will not be changed until I have confirmation from each person who wants to participate, that way we aren't waiting for people.
