Calling SC2 fans, need help remembering a tournament
« on: Sat, 07 September 2013, 17:05:00 »
I can't for the life of me remember this; there was a SC2(pretty sure it was SC2, but not ruling out BW just yet) tournament a few years back where the finals were held outdoors during daytime, at a korean waterpark or something, the sun was out and Tastosis casting. Now I can't remember what tournament it was and no matter how hard I look I can't find any info about it.

Someone has to know what I'm talking about, please help?

don't remember a tourny at a waterpark.  But I do remember the player intro videos at one point for gsl used to be korean girls outside at a waterpark or something.  I'll see if I can find the videos to see if thats what you mean

edit:
found it

Not sure if it was actually a waterpark, that's just what my mind tells me, all I know is it was outside during daytime, and so far I haven't found any pics or vods that match.

edit; nope, that video isn't it :(

Nah, not that old, I'm pretty sure it was SC2, and I know Tasteless was there, and idk who else would be with him then other than Artosis.

It's weird, I remember it so vividly yet so far it seems to have been all in my head.

Edit;
I think I found a picture from it!

Sadly, the source has no mention of where the photo is from

Maybe I'm not crazy after all

I think it was the GSL super tournament. Did a KPOP group perform? I don't think that it was outside, but the performance and intro were outside if I'm not correct.

Here is another video of what I thought you were talking about:
I am not completely sure if I'm right or not, but I tried.  :)

edit:Wow you guys are good. I'm probably wrong.

Yeah there was a kpop part, but sadly it was not the tournament you linked since I clearly remember the final match being finished in broad daylight :/
I really appreciate the effort though, not knowing this torments me far more than it should.

The picture I posted earlier is from the tournament I'm looking for, I can't say for sure who won but it might've been MKP. I tried looking through his list of tournaments on liquipedia, but nothing so far :(

I think that might be it! Thanks a bunch.

Looking at it there are still some things that don't match up to what I remember, and I think by that point I had stopped following the SC2 scene, but it's the closest so far so I'm gonna see if things fall into place if I look at it a bit more.

So if anyone still feel like doing some more detective work then I would greatly appreciate that.

Just say NO to ABS keycaps

Ok so I'm still not sure the video Xenderwind linked is the one I'm talking about, it might be, but there are just so many things that don't match up. I think this might be as far as we'll get, but if anyone here hangs around TL, SC2 on reddit or IRC(I don't have an account on neither reddit nor TL) and could ask them about the pic I posted earlier and see if anyone there knows that would be just fantastic.

There we go! Thank you all for taking the time, I really appreciate it.

I really enjoyed watching this live when it happened, there was something about having a SC2 tournament at a park, in the sun, with Tastosis casting that made it such a pleasant experience. I wish I could still be bothered following the SC2 scene, but sadly my interest has died down somewhat. And for some reason things got less fun after a while, I don't know why.

It was the GSL super tournament if I'm not mistaken.
