The University of Chicago StarCraft Club (MICRO) is holding its quarterly StarCraft tournament next Saturday, November 7th, and if anyone in the area (from nearby universities, or the greater Chicago area, like from our division in CSL+) would like to come spectate, you are all more than welcome to come drop by, grab food, watch some SC, and chat with our special guest...
...because CholeraSC will be there, IN PERSON, commentating for our tournament. Games will be projected live on a projector, there will be tons of free food (lunch or dinner, anyone?), and after the tournament ends, we will also be playing our CSL round against WashU. Yes, Cholera of Voice of eSports fame is flying in specially that weekend, so it'll be a great chance to see him working in person and, of course, to meet the man 
Unfortunately, we won't be able to include players from other schools or the community in our tournament bracket, but if you want to bring your laptop and gaming gear and play friendly games with us after the tournament (or during, with people in the audience or players taking a break), we won't stop you.
Finally, if you are unable to make it that day, don't despair.. because the next day, the "StarCraft Professor" from UC Berkeley will be giving a small StarCraft lecture/workshop. Cholera will still be there (but probably just chilling in the audience). This event is open to everyone, once again, especially if you want to participate in the workshop afterwards.
For more details, or if you have any questions/comments, email uchicagomicro@gmail.com, or starcraft@uchicago.edu. Also, if you email us, we'll better know how many people to expect and accommodate, and we can give you further details closer to the date (like directions how to get there, which building, etc etc). And you can RSVP for the workshop.
Hope to see you there at our campus next weekend! Last edit: 2009-10-29 15:31:02 |

Good luck with the tournament! It's always fun to meet fellow lovers of the game and play each other. What does the winner receive other then bragging rights? |

Wow...! That's really cool that you're having an actual big event with different things... sounds like a mini convention almost.
Does mean no class at Berkeley next Friday (the 6th)?? |

Hey, so I'm the MICRO prez/co-founder, and in the past when we've done this (this is our second year as a recognized student organization; we started up last fall after getting approval in the spring), the winners (first and second place, and of each pool when we get enough people) have traditionally gotten a small monetary prize, and 'fame forever' in the tradition of Iron Chef  At our spring tournament last year, we had a pretty big turnout though, and I also ordered trophies for the winners. This year, depending on how many people turn up we may have some additional prizes, but it's a secret for now... I'm just happy that CholeraSC agreed to come and commentate for us, it was very kind of him, and I hope other people will be excited about that too!
I hope more people from the Chicago area will show up that weekend, it's going to be a great two days (email if you want more info, or think you will come for one or both of the two days! ^^).

| Interesting, since as far as I know Cholera so far has been pretty protective of his real life identity. Looks like he has changed his attitude towards the future as commentator? |

For the Sunday lecture/workshop, there will be two 90-minute lectures, one on Build Orders and the strategic use of randomness to create strength. We'll be discussing at length the game theory and statistical implications of different build orders on different maps. The second will be on Scouting and information control, both the purely theoretical and the practical in terms of scouting techniques and examples.
If you have any topics you (Chicagoans) want to talk about, send me an email at integral.king@gmail.com and I'll see if I can prepare something for you. |
