The Vancouver Starcraft 2 open is to be postponed until further notice.
We are deciding to postpone the event because all criticism as well as questions have been heard and unfortunately The time line we had to work with to try to rectify some concerns was just not long enough. Some of these issues are as follows.
Age Restriction to 19+. We are going to work on making it an ALL AGES events. we have found a way around the age restriction but in order to have the restriction removed we would not be able to hold the event in January.
Bring your own computer - We there were few that were not into the idea of bringing your own pc. Those with gaming laptops had not much of a complaint but those with desktop units did find a issue with getting to and from and also the possibility of having to move stations and the time it takes to. We are working on a better system for that.
ie: having some available pc's for rental if you cannot bring your own.
Some issues we have resolved.
Cost of the event. We had brought down to $20.00 and that will be the price for when we restart registration soon.
Bracket - We have removed the BO1 elimination round and made all rounds best of 3 up until the Semi Finals.
For those who have Pre Registered for the January 6'th date. You will continue to hold your registration, as well as hold a priority status for our registration. You will have a guaranteed seat at the next VSCO.
With this we would also like to announce that within the next week or so.We will also be announcing our Vancouver Pwnage Starcraft League. This will be an online event. The season will last for 9 weeks with 2 set days per week for games. it is ALL AGES. More information will be up on www.vancouverpwnage.com about that. We are also holding spots for our pre registered guests from the VSCO.
This league will be FREE to compete in. it is completely sponsor sanctioned so expect some wicked weekly prizes during the week. We plan on having the one game day for League points. and the next game day for Points as well as a weekly prize.
Again we apologize for the inconvenience with the postponing of the VSCO and we will keep you updated as to the new date of the event.
Sincerely
