As was stated in the main SCII thread, there's some interest in trying another tournament.
TOURNAMENT HAS STARTED, MATCHUPS LISTED HERE.
Playoff bracket
Banana vs BigDogg - Antiga Shipyard
Hades vs Blankall - Xel'Naga Cavern
FlamesPuck12 vs IliketoPuck - Metalopolis
MrFish vs IH8Crawford - Shakuras Plateau
PLAYOFFS STARTED
Thoughts on lay out (up to discussion and vote):
-2 pools, single round robin play, top half of each goes to a 'vets' bracket, bottom half 'rookies' bracket. This allows for some sort of seeding, as well as to sort out skill a bit more fairly.
-Brackets double elimination (or single), think double would be more fun/fair.
-Maps, I think MLG, could also do GSL or even ladder if people are up for it. Possibly allow 1 map veto per match (if people want, could complicate things a bit).
-I'd propose best of 3 for round robin, and all the way up till the finals (best of 5 maybe?), unless people prefer best of 1.
-Alternately we could do an
MLG style style, disregarding open bracket, basically going straight to the championship...but again that may a little complex.
I'll transfer names over from the other thread. Lets say sign up open until Sunday (18th):
-Hades (Z)
-Monseiur Fish (T)
-Bananapancakes (Z)
-IliketoPuck (T)
-FlamesPuck12
-Blankall
-I8Crawford
-BigDogg
Possibly late additions:
-Blaster86 (if he can make up his mind)
-Gozer
-Oling_Roachinen (applied via PM)
-???
Post your race!! Also please post on format (bigger pool play like last tourney, bracket with/without pool, MLG or something else..), Map selection (MLG/GSL/ladder/other), best of 1/3/5 etc, or anything else I may have forgetten.
Once I get names/numbers we can figure out groups, matchups, maps etc.
GL HF!
Edit 1:
-Maps (all MLG versions): Dual Sight, Metalopolis, Shakuras Plateau, Shattered Temple, Tal'darim Altar LE, iCCup Testbug, Xel Naga Caverns.
-Probably lean towards pool/bracket system, Bo3.
-If we can, I'll set up groups/maps/matchups and we can start the tourney Saturday.
-In game chat channel is CPuck!
Edit2:
-We got our 8, I'll make the groups, map selections/matches and we can start ASAP!
-Due to only 8 players, we'll do a single winners bracket, double elimination. We'll cross over seeds (1v4, 2v3).
-I'll post randomly generated maps for each match. For the maps, and for the pool, I used an 7 and 8 sided virtual dice and just went down the list (so for instance I was first, and rolled a 7, which put me in the '7' slot, 3rd slot in pool B)...hope that's fair enough!
