Just like last time, we'll go ahead and start this post with a quick word from our sponsor:
Our first event with BaseTradeTV was a huge success and we're so glad to be back for the Ting Open 2! I can't thank Rifkin, ZombieGrub, Feardragon and Olimoley enough for all their hard work and dedication - they work tirelessly for the SC2 scene and as a huge fan, I'm truly grateful. Like last time, we'll be running some fun giveaways (including a bracket prediction contest) and creating custom video content ( like challenging viewers to 1v1s ) to be shown on stream. If you have any other content ideas for us, please share them in this TL thread. See you in Twitch chat! - Jesse
*The prize pool is provided entirely by TING, players will have 60 days to claim their prize or forfeit it back to the sponsor.
PRIZE POOL BREAKDOWN 1st place: $2,000 USD 2nd place: $1,000 USD 3rd/4th place: $600/400 USD 5-8th place: $250 USD
This tournament is online only and will feature qualifiers leading into 2 group stages, leading to a RO8 single elimination. Qualifiers will be all Bo3, all group stage matches will be Bo5, semi-finals will be Bo7 and the grand finals will be a Bo9. All dates posted are tentative and subject to change based on conflicts of interest and player's schedules.
QUALIFIER DETAILS (more details below) 2 North American Qualifiers (single elimination) - CANADA, UNITED STATES, MEXICO 2 European Qualifiers (single elimination) 2 Korean Qualifiers (single elimination) - KOREA, JAPAN, CHINA/TAIWAN 2 Wild Card (GLOBAL) Qualifiers (single elimination)
*Eligibility for each qualifier will be based on residency. To be perfectly clear, it you are a North American citizen living in Korea, you must play the Korean/Wild Card qualifiers. If you are a European living in America, you must play the North American qualifiers. Any regions that aren't listed must compete in the wild card qualifier (SEA/South Africa/etc)
There will be 8 Invite spots reserved to be issued after the qualifiers, and will most likely be used to invite those that failed back, based on performance. Invite slots are entirely up to TING to use as they see fit!

|
Challonge links, map pool, and such will be added soon
Notable changes:- Prize pool is less top heavy
- Qualifiers are single elimination
- Group Stage #2 will remain region segregated
- Snute, Masa, Mana & Rogue have invites directly into Group Stage 2, creating a small change on how players transfer from Group Stage 1 -> 2. First place winners will advance like normal, but second place players will have to play an additional "tie breaker" Bo5 to determine who advances.
- There's a 3rd place match now!
|
Love Ting - looking forward to more awesome games!
|
Ting is definitely the best T(h)ing!
Generally, I was never watching many online tournaments, but with the lack of offline events for both Koreans and foreigners (which is the most interesTing Ting), this tournament goes pretty high in rankTing!
The level of players in the first Open Ting was really high and I hope to keep this in the second Open Ting as well. The format is interesTing as well with the "region locked" groups in stage 1 and non region lock in stage 2.
Definitely looking forward to it!!!
Do the Ting again!

Ah, thank you for letting me know. There's nothing on TL or in this shared document with Blizzard, we'll look into reworking.
|
"1st place and (2nd place winner) finishers from Group Stage #1 will be placed into group stage #2 1st/2nd place finishers of group 2 will be seeded directly into a RO8 bracket"
I don't really understand the format, 20 players, 2 groupstages and if you're lucky to get into a group that has the number 2 in it you can directly advance to the ro8, while those players from group #1 will have to get to the second groupstage first !? I guess it's just a mistake and that "group 2" is supposed to be "groupstage 2"? I'm super confused by now )=

Original posts will be updated to reflect it after we confirm it but the new dates should be:
Saturday 28th - NA Qualifier #1

Better thinking, if you play someone who's much better than you, you have their replays legitimately and can learn from them without waiting for tournament repacks, or stream repacks..

I would love for the map pool to follow the ladder. I understand it's nice to stand out but with the addition of Frost and King sejong soonTM, it would be enough diversity to stick to it imho !

Let's see how far NoRegret and Scarlett get. They both did quite well in the Code A qualifier.
|
So i counted 20 players from the 12 that come from qualifiers and the 8 invites. Who are the other 12 players since you need 32 to do a 32 man group stage. Are they the other 12 players from the s1 ro16 @riftken???
|
It says that there are going to be 32 players competing in the tournament but I only count 24 (12 from qualifiers + 8 invited + 4 seeded in Round 2). I may be completly misunderstanding the post but can someone please try explaining it to me :/

The "I only prac for big tourney" excuse isn't really valid when you lose keep losing the first rounds 0-3

i predict BasetradeTV will award and pay out more money at this event than will be paid out at the $400,000 WESA tournament. Imagine turning that into a headline somehow ..... "we'll pay out more cash that $400,000 WESA Event" ... or somethin'. more seriously, great work getting Ting to commit to a 2nd season. your repoire with regular viewers allows you to be a good "pitch man" for Ting's services. My #1 SC2 playing partner uses Ting and she loves it and she says its super reliable.

Hello everyone, writing an update here. We'll be changing some of the future dates, I'll be back later tonight to update, for a couple reasons:
1 - With ROOT's upcoming EU vs NA showmatch series falling on the same day as the NA qualifiers, we don't want to force players to pick and choose between the two (as qualifier spots are limited) this way everyone should be able to compete in both a bit more freely
2 - With how overloaded our current schedule is, we won't want to force folks to go straight from qualifiers into the group stages with moving the NA qualifier and shuffling the groups around. We really do want folks to have at least a day to see who their opponents are and prepare appropriately
New dates coming soon, but TLDR everything is pretty much just shuffled 1 week over

Somehow, when seeing the recent online cup results, I came to the idea that they do not want to show their builds before their most important matches of the season (= GSL Code A + SSL Group Challenge) ...

Update: Currently our regular admin is missing, we're delaying the start until 15 minutes after the hour in hopes of finding her. If we can't find her by then we'll start seeking someone new to cover the brackets.

Update: Contacted a new admin, we'll be creating brackets shortly and trying to get things going asap!

Kinda sucked for Noregret, that was never gonna work with aLive seeing it and having stim, but it's not like he could have just gone home.

Really unacceptable behavior from SoS. This is disrespectful to fans and organizers. The ban is completely justified.

I am really disappointed if sOs just forfeited his matches without any reason. I hope there was one, otherwise this is not cool to say the least Plz sOs you are better than this

if he were in a major pro sports league making league minimum or higher i'd have zero sympathy for the guy. given how little these guys make i have some degree of sympathy for the guy.
basically, he double-booked and then no-showed the lower paying gig.
|
This is sad. I understand, sOs does not play in many online tournaments ... and he does not have a good experience with those, where he played. Last time, he participated in the Kings of StarCraft tournament together with his team mates, and it ended up in the stupid event that he had to play the finals on the Korean New Year's night at 2:00 a.m. At a time, when the Koreans for sure do not want to play tournaments.
It was nice to have him play in the Ting tournament. I do not know, how does it work at Jin Air's team house, but although this was a purely Korean group, the timing was done so that he had to play his decider match again at 2:00 a.m. Maybe, he was disturbing some team mates, who wanted to sleep, e.g. Rogue before his tomorrow's SSL group ... Anyway, he should not have agreed to participate if he did not want to give it the effort.

Too bad Bunny gave up so early, maybe he didnt realize how much damage he did to Nerchio and how low on supply Nerchio was.

Small update: We may have to cast the first two listed games in the 2nd place finals from replay, due to proleague issues for Jin air / Afreeca players. Will try to have this updated and sorted ASAP! Additionally, the July 7 KR group may be moved to play on the 5th due to SSL conflicts.

It's shame only basetradetv casting this. Can't listen to them, can't write in chat. And when chat isn't behind paywall it's all spam with chat commands.
|
I don't know what was worse in that last game...uThermal's indecision or MaNa's attempts at taking 4th base...
|
now what would be really funny is Nerchio losing to Bly's all-ins and then 3-0'ing MaNa again
|
saddly only protosses are allowed to all in :c

Bly should have gotten tips from one of Nerchio's practice partners like Scarlett did

Updates: The Wild Card Group will be postponed until the 17th or 18th (We'll find out which day is better after byun's SSL matches are announced) The NA group will carry on as per usual, and the new RO8 date will be figured out soon as well.

July 18th - Wild Card GRoup July 22nd - RO8 August 6th - SemiFinals August 7th - 3rd place + Finals

wild card is now live with Hyun vs Snute

guess which Korean Zerg didn't know that Snute does an empty 3rd roach all-in literally every game on horizontal Frost.

Welcome to King Sejong Station, enjoy your stay on 5 bases, Zerg.

I don't think this style can work against good Terrans/Koreans. This will happen every time.
*edit: wow, underestimated Snutes power :o WP

ByuN is stupidly hard to kill. Snute being the most turtly zerg in the universe doesn't help.

Snute spent all of his bank on drones and hookers

going hellion banshee against a guy who makes 2 trillions queens just seems off to me
|
I don't understand why Byun is producing so few medivacs, a lot of the time he has his starport idle. Also he really needs to take the gas at his 4th
|
looks like ByuN is prepared to hold off the entire Zerg amy with his production rallies
|
United States97248 Posts
probably needs to go ahead and float out a 5th base too. barely mining with the natural dried up
or he could just attack into fungals
|
Are you saying that's not the correct decision shock!?

broodlords too immobile to defend both sides of the map. Ultras would be better on a map as wide open as Frozen temple. Snute could never punish Byun after defending his pushes
This is somewhat of a throw by Snute, he was way ahead but he never went full attack. Byun should never have been able to take a 5th base
|
Yeah I mean it's appealing at times. Looking bad for snute, those poor unprotected broods! Not a fan of the broodlords, Ultras are more fun and better imo. Byun is doing a good job punishing snutes slow composition.
|
I want to point out how ByuN has made 2 additional command centers this entire game.
|
Australia18228 Posts
That bottom left base is killing Snute
|

Then Byun attacks up a ramp into fungels and gets obliterated. I take back my comment of Snute being in trouble

Cant believe the game lasted long enough to get more BLords

lmao this game is weird. Dunno who's got this, those broods are going to be good though. I still favor Byun I think.

I hope they both mine out and it comes to corrossive biles vs flying buildings?

Snute would have already won if he had brought his queens in that attack
|

Byun is maxed so he will prob attack into fungals again soon

Snute doing ByuN a favor giving him more supply for army.

there's more queens than roaches out now

Snute going up to a casual 27 queens

Snute should use roaches to cut off rallied ghosts

Those ghosts are doing some pretty good work on those broods. If Byun doesnt' get fungaled, he has this imo.

So many even trades time after time, Byun is gonna win just by having mined from one more base xD
come on Snute harass the mineral line with broods from the lowground. Wait does he even have broods anymore?
|
It all comes down to that last base...
|
gotta say though, ByuN's army positioning looks like a campaign mission
