really cool concept ^^ maybe you guys can expand over to the NA server if there are good results. good luck!
|
If you are hosting on EU then wouldn't it make more sense to put the price in Euros?
Also, I couldn't see anything about having to pay to participate, does that mean it's free?
Final question, can you opt for a lower prize, i.e. I'm Plat, if i win i don't want $3, would rather have an hour of someone screaming at me to spend my money
|
Hi, Thanks for showing interest!
We chose dollars because we feel it has become the standard starcraft 2 prize currency and is the most used on similar tournament sites.
It is free to participate in all of our tournaments unless specified otherwise.
We opt to host as many cash tournaments as possible. We believe that this will attract more players in general, and give them a real sense of value for time. However, if a winner would want coaching instead of a given cash prize, this can of course be arranged.
Hope to see you compete soon!

I registered at your site but it hasn't sent me an activation email yet...
|
yeah really cool concept for sure! and quite cute with at least some price pool
|
There was a problem with the mail server, many user either did not recieve the registration mail or got the "Could not instantiate mail function." As a temporary solution to this we have now disabled the registration mail and everybody should be able to log in.

Why do most online EU tournaments start so late? 2000 CEST... that's already 2100 here in Finland, if a tournament runs 3+ hours it's already past midnight
I am glad to see more people (groups w/e) adding tournaments. Especially with $ prizes and several different leagues etc!
Will probably sign up when I don't have an early class the next day.

Finals have now been running for 15 mins. We believe that a tournament will not exceed midnight at any time.
The replays from the finals can be found after the tournament.

I've adminned/casted well over 50 small tournaments (up to 64 players) with BO1 up to RO8 where RO8 on is BO3. I can promise you that all it takes is one long TvT/ZvT or something and you can have a whole side of the bracket held by over an hour. If this happens twice on the same side, you can very easily have a tournament go over the 4 hour mark (even with less than 32 players).
Now sure this isn't going to happen every time, but it will happen sometimes, so you have to think about that for our poor Eastern European friends
Good luck with it

Oh well, the first open tournament I have ever won! :D
Really cool initiative, and good job from the admins. Also got the prize money almost instantly ^^
And about the timing, I guess it's hard to suit everyone, but there is a lot of gamers who stay up late. Also there are tournaments like go4sc2 which starts at 18:00 CEST, Playhem 19:00 CEST, so I think 20:00 is not bad so it doesn't overlap too much with others. I was actually waiting really long time after the first round today, and started my 2nd round after around 1hour gone, but still the whole tournament got finished fairly quickly. I guess it's going to get longer when more people start signing up, though.

Thanks to all the players attending our tournaments this week. We appreciate all the feedback and the kind words. This week has served the purpose of pointing out some areas that need optimization. This will lead to an even greater user experience, and better tournaments in the future!
|
Great initiative guys, hope it works out :D
|
Just what I have been looking for awesome starting time!
|
Cool site guys, looks good. How come you only operate on BnetEU?! Do you have any streaming section on the site?
Hope to see you expand to NA-servers!
|
Would love to see this for NA-Server also. This looks great!
|
Thanks for the kind words.
We are currently operating on EU servers only due to our geographical location We have hopes of expand to NA in the future - but this is still on the drawing board.
We are currently working on a stream setup - this will hopefully be live soon.
|
|
will try this out thx
|
|
This is so goddamn awesome!! Thank you guys for helping expand the community
|
Awesome idea overall, but imo you should consider prize money for three first places, because that will grab more people toward this tournament. Keep up the good work, expand and make more this fantastic tournaments!
|
As more people start attending our tournaments we will consider prizes for the third place, aswell as make more rounds Bo3! Thx all for your interest
|
A no-show button has now been added .. Furthermore we are currently recruiting casters and coaches to join our team. More info at info@sc2-tournament.com
|
its seems that there is a problem with register at their site !
|
Really nice concept! How many players will join this tournament every week, have u estimated?
|
The problem has been solved, and I did reply to you in PM. Let me know if you encounter more problems.
Atm the size of the tournaments vary between 15-30 competitors. Ofc this number can get higher/lower, but we hope to get that number higher - and it is rising! I hope to see you compete!
Let me know if you have any questions.

Never noticed this tournament before. I'll definitely try it someday GL.
|
I had no idea this was a thing! Signed up for tonight
|
This is pretty cool! Will it switch to HotS once it gets realeased?
Also what format is it? Bo1 all the way?
|
Thank you for the kind words.
We are determining whether or not to switch to HOTS right away, but as it is now, we will switch to HOTS when this is released, yes.
The format in our 4 weekly tournaments is Bo1 untill the finals. The finals are Bo3. In special tournaments (eg. the Christmas tournament we had), this was changed to play some more games. But is this the case, this will be specified
Hope to see you compete!

Are these events streamed perhaps?
|
great work
instead of offering coaching to the guy that won, perhaps think about randomly pick one l0ser (lol jk) from each division and walk through their replay with them
|
Hi, Np! Most of the events are being streamed atm, and I can tell you, that our casters are trying their best to stream every night. The events will within the next 2 weeks be streamed every day, since we have a new streaming setup ready by then.
Thx for the kind words.
