I like to thank everyone who came out today to show their support. Unfortunately things unfolded the way it was, but I sincerely apologize for this event's outcome. I hope everyone enjoyed the swag they receive and we appreciate everyone's support even though this happened the way it did. Guys who have opted to play in the online tournament, good luck and THANK YOU for the support once again.
Online tournament will happen as planned, and the invitationals is still the same date. TOP 8 from code S will duke it out for the grand prize, $2200 gaming rig! We will keep in touch with everyone who has entered the tournament. Brackets will be updated by the end of this weekend.
We definitely will try to have a LAN day where we will have eSpot cafe for 3 hours, just to have fun. So stay tune for this event to happen. We would definitely need to see if eSpot can run all 50 computers. This is an eye opener for all of us at CG. This event will be paid for and is our way of saying thank you for supporting Cyber Gaming. Stay tune in UBC Starcraft, 604starcraft and cybergaming facebook channel for news on when this great social event will happen.

I forgot to mention, for those who missed out on winning the raffle prizes. August 20th, we will be doing same raffle draw for everyone who comes out and attends the invitationals.
2 Maurader Keyboard, 2 Banshee Headset, 2 Spectre Mouse.
Thanks you Memory Express and Razer! We could not have made these events possible without their help.

When people ask me where I got the zerg bag, I will tell them I got it at a sick sick LAN.
|
Very unfortunate on what happened at the lan. However, I'd like to note that the CG guys did everything they could do fix the issue. They called Blizzard, and let everyone on the floor know what is going on. These guys really know how to run events :D Just bad luck this time
|
Absolutely choked about the bnet issue It was DESTINED to be a sick tournament.
|
Super bummed that things couldn't work themselves out for the tourny. It was my First event and Really wanted to spend more time meeting my fellow gamers, and watching some sick code S play first hand. But alas they did a solid job in making it up to us. Loved that there was such a strong turn out. Here's to next time!
Van-city FIGHTING!

For the people who got their $20 refund...are we still included in the online tournament or not? =O Also...for the August 20th invitational...i thought only the top 8 Code S people get to play...then does that mean spectators get to attend the raffle prize draw?

Those who got refunded are NOT in the online tournament. I do believe that spectators can participate in the raffle, but don't hold me to it; wait on a final word from solid or fxk.

all the players in that tournament get a headset mouse and keyboard so i would assume they're raffling the other stuff to spectators.

When is this online tournament? I have seen no information on an actual time yet.
|
Is the online tournament going to be posted anytime soon? I'm going on vacation the week after the next. Also, would I be able to get a refund if I can make it for the online tourney? I remember hearing it was going to be Sunday
Regardless, I realize you guys did all you could to make this a success and I'd like to thank everyone who helped in the making of this tournament. Looking forward to the next!

Blizzard has too tight a grip on how tournaments are run. They want to make it like South Korea so they can squeeze a little bit more money out of people. This is why we'll never see LAN play in SC2. EVER.

http://challonge.com/cg4_s This is the temporary bracket for the online tournament tomorrow. It was 100% based off ladder rankings, no politics involved. So if you don't like your place in the bracket, tonight is the time to ladder up or down. The bracket will be finalized tonight at midnight. Good luck have fun to all
|
Well I have 50ish bonus pool to spend once I get home from exams X.x Should be able to go up a few ranks :D
|
That was fun, congrats to fox who took the Code A champion slot. I think he played 5 bo3 ZvZs.
I got second =(
My first ever online tournament though and it worked out alright aside from my back starting to get stiff from sitting for 6 hours.

So is the invitational on the 20th still happening at eSpot?
|
Yes. The tournament ended yesterday. Im sure the organizers will do a recap of it and update you guys. But for now ill list the top 8 players that will play this weekend:
Stalife FourkWarden vVvHasuu RoyalFlush Validity tQtyrant (saikou) Bosnic RevSync
