my problem is OK it's a new esport event that was attached to an otherwise large convention. But if you are going to invite these excellent players, give a great prizepool you have a responsibility to YOURSELF to try and salvage some ROI by advertising on the internet FOR FREE. Literally, asking the players to tweet about it.. making a thread with nice graphics on TL.. and you know what? If you don't know HOW to do this.. shave off 1k$ from your budget and find someone who DOES know how to do it. Literally the easiest part about a tourney is advertising. You can suck at it or be ok at it and some are great but to NOT DO IT AT ALL.. horribly irresponsible.

I want so bad for eSports to get big and go mainstream and reach everyone yadayada but when shit like this goes down it reminds me just how far we have to go.

So basically Campus party takes place in berlin. Eventhough i live in berlin i didnt saw, hear anything from it. Even the Campus party itself was poorly advertised. Then the 10000 tickets you could get are already sold out and I am pretty sure that none of them bought it to watch the esport tournament...

I don´t know what the snute vs strelok seed situation ended up with - we played a game for the seed (edit: hosted and supervised by admins), so I don´t know if it matters that I got 2-0d by Strelok in the groupstages in this tournament or not. Maybe it turns out that playing for the seed was wrong. Admins will have to update on this tomorrow, but: the groupstage results were discounted for a fresh start (for now at least)..

Cmon, you really think it didn't get deserved to get featured under community news? I agree the tournament dropped the ball big time in terms of promotion across the board, but I really think any tournament with a 25k prize pool should be featured when it is announced.... Seems unfair that the RB event which isn't even really a competitive tournament is listed, and whenever MLG or any other major announces a commentary line-up, not even tournament details, its featured, but not this type of tournament.

edit: Ok, you featured it, good job guys :D... now Treehugger don't you have a TLpro article to write on Ret attending? :D

I'm not pointing fingers at anyone. I want to know the priorities of this tournament and if the marketer/promoter dropped the ball by missing out on some viewership.

What do their sponsors want?

Something is amiss..

Liquidpedia didn't list that game, so I simply assumed. I'm not better informed than you, don't worry.

Well, it's been added there now at any rate. A few things. First off, this tournament doesn't really make our frontpage news, but community news is an appropriate place for it. Ultimately, if you want your tournament to be covered, you need to badger people about it, because if it's not well known, someone is going to forget, especially if the announcement post was almost a month ago.

I was really shocked when I tuned in and it had 200 viewers.... 500 an hour later then finally the stream got listed. But really poor Kaelaris, he was the only one who tweeted about it and gave his best no matter what. I really hope this gets more attention tomorrow.

Edit: Huge probs to tree.hugger for doing this btw!

To be honest it's just plain stupid to not have a LR thread for a tournament this huge. The thread in the sc2 forums OBVIOUSLY got washed away, because it's not as easily viewable. Even a non-updated-OP LR thread would've been better than what we had before this thread opened (thanks tree.hugger!).

Anyway, gogo SuperNova and good job ForGG so far. Socke failed once more, too bad


edit: also i think there are just a lot of tournaments, else i bet that TL would've written a "Ret to Campus Party" Liquid team news or something else. Ah well, it's definitely not TL's fault that this tournament did have a bad viewercount on day 1.
