Introducing a community event for players from around Minnesota; a one day BYOC-lite* SC2 tournament at my house! My goal for this is to get players from Minnesota (and maybe surrounding states?) to be able to hang out, enjoy some StarCraft, and get to know one another a little bit. Whether you’re WCS Challenger tier or just a casual fan, please consider coming out and joining in!
Aside from the tournament, I'll be working on setting up a little spectator area in the house and having some food and drink to add to the festivities! If you want to sign up for some additional roles that we might need throughout the day, please let me know. In particular, having somebody around to admin the tournament and a backup for the stream would be super appreciated and help the day run smoothly!
When: July 1st, 12:00pm CDT
Where: My house (West Minneapolis metro, address will be sent to attendees in PM)
Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1884989491741516/
Entry: Free
Prize pool: $300 (50/30/12.5/7.5% spread)
Format: Likely some variation of GSL format, depends on number of attendees
Stream: Toast from DS Productions will be joining us, so we’ll stream at twitch.tv/dankshrine
*What is this “BYOC-lite”? Basically, we’ll need enough PCs for people to play their tournament matches on, so if we can get a few volunteers to let us use their setups communally I would be eternally grateful.
**Who’s this “nivek706” dude and why should I go to his house? I’m really just a fanboy, but I did run the Midwest Cup online tournament series for a couple of years, so hopefully that lends enough credence to my reputation for not being a scumbag. Basically, I’m a dude looking to find ways for people to have fun with StarCraft together.
