Back in 2011 we did something quite special on Liquipedia, we hosted a bracket contest for the TSL 3. It was fraught with problems on the technical side, for example the code to run it crashed the wiki, and when people wanted to check their standings the site became unresponsive too. However we got to the end and HenL won it by correctly predicting the correct top 4 and their final positions!
Since then we’ve done a lot of improvements to the site, so no more crashes from high load. And we’ve also now completed a tool to help us manage this type of bracket contest.
WCS 2014 Season 1 Bracket Contest
So we once again want to invite you to join in the fun, and this time it is for WCS Season 1. All three regions at once! From the quarter finals and forwards. (When the brackets are fixed.)
Or almost at once. They will have different deadlines for when you can last submit or edit them. You may of course just participate in one of them, but for this contest we will use all three, so you should really do all three. The deadlines are:
- GSL 2014 Season 1 is Tuesday, Mar 18 10:59pm GMT (GMT+00:00) SUBMISSIONS ENDED!
- WCS America Season 1 is Thursday, Apr 10 5:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) SUBMISSIONS ENDED!
- WCS Europe Season 1 is Thursday, Apr 10 5:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) SUBMISSIONS ENDED!
To make your prediction follow our guide. You can correct any mistakes you’ve made up until the deadline.
The winner will be the person who has gotten the most amount of points from all three tournaments combined.
You get points by guessing/predicting the correct winner, and then there are bonus points if you also get the correct score.
- Internet fame!
- A signed Liquid Team jersey from the player of the winner's choosing.
(That is any current Liquid player, either SC2 or Dota 2) - Forum award.
Predicting the right winner in the quarter finals will give you 2 points, in the semi finals 4 points and the grand finals 8 points. Predicting the correct score of a best of 5 will give you 1 point and a best of seven 2 points.
This means the highest possible score is 96.
