Guys an update. I want casual players to come out and enjoy this, not just top players.
So there will be prizes for top placing players in these leagues: bronze/silver, gold/platinum, diamond/masters $50 each!
Depending on success of the event, we will do another one next month.
The total prize pool regardless is $1000.
Please check the links for details and registration.

not sure how much interest in Archon mode but we are doing that also. I'm doing this to support the game, not just for those already playing but those casuals who are on the fence about continuing... help spread the word please. Thanks!
|
another month will likely be way to soon. idk how strong the gmu community is for sc2. but i find it hard to imagine you will get consistent good turnout. might aim every 2 to 4 months imo.
Also if you don't mind adding an unofficial KBBQ at il mee after the lan, likely at 10pm.
edit if you need help running the lan lmk
|
would love help with registration on site, as I'm sure more than half will register there instead of online.
Also KBBQ sounds good! Feel free to let people know at the event
|
very cool just went to the cave for the first time the other day very cool LAN great seats and monitors. Would like to come to this but not sure yet if i can make it but very cool that there is sc2 stuff in the area.
|
I highly recommend those that love starcraft (especially local) to come out and support this. I'm trying to re-energize the scene... the success of this will mean more events!
|
Trying to get off from work on Sunday so that I can play in this. It's about a 2 hour drive for me, hopefully I can make it
|
Unfortunately I won't be able to make it, but I hope everyone has a good time! Best of luck to everyone!
|
I going to try and make this but what time will the diamond master tournament start not trying to go at 10 am if i dont have to? mainly cause i suck and dont want too just get rekt half asleep.
|
10am is registration, warm up, etc. 11am is the tourney start time.
|
Also, we have $100 prize to 1st place on Archon Mode tournament. We are limiting entries to first 6 teams... 2v2.
If you've already paid to play in the 1v1 (both players) you're good to go, no need to pay, we will confirm registration at the venue for those already registered for 1v1. Everyone else who wants to play JUST the archon mode, needs to register online or at the venue for $10.

Will all tourneys be at the same time? Or is it like bronze/silver first then gold/plat, and so on?
