Hello geekhackers!

I will be hosting a Starcraft 2 tournament Saturday February 4th.

This is a single elimination tournament with a pre-chosen map pool. This will be a private tournament through z33k.com on the NA server.
You MUST have at least 50 posts to enter the tournament. This is to prevent randoms from taking my caps!
I would like every one to play the first match since it is randomly selected. If you advance you can message your opponent if you have to do it at a later time.
If you want to participate please post on this thread and I will PM you a code to enter

Link to Tournament ----> http://www.z33k.com/z/hmd

1st Place: White ninja PBT caps
2nd Place: Doubleshot geekhack key

Winners will receive a PM from me on geekhack once the Tournament has finished.

Best of luck!

*I will be running another tournament like this in the near future so if you cannot make this weekend you have another chance!
ALSO Bruce from keyboardco.com messaged me and he will be giving out the Grand Prize for the next run!!

He hasn't been a member long enough. I doubt he will boost his count for caps. I think he wouldn't want to ruin it.

Thanks for hosting this!

lol I just switched to zerg. I'm diamond terran and gold/lowplat zerg. I'm sure we've got 5-10 high masters players on here. I'd like to be able to spectate in the games once I get my ass handed to me if that's possible as well.

You should post the replays on here after its done too.

GeorgeStorm · « **Reply #10 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 06:39:34 »

I don't play, but I'd like to be able to watch the matches if possible? Got a friend who loves watching SC2, and think it would be cool if we could watch

DalaiLameR · « **Reply #11 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 06:43:22 »

I was in GrandMasterLeague on US before I had to stop sc2 to learn for my final university exams, so I probably won't be able to participate.
Would love to play in any future tournaments though!

emptythecache · « **Reply #12 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 06:50:46 »

I'm silver and haven't played in like two seasons. Count me out.

I would love to join but need to move that day.

in for the next tournament for sure.

hashbaz · « **Reply #21 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 11:13:50 »

I was platinum in season 1. Played nothing but team games since then.

So I applaud this effort, but I think I'm out, unless I can spectate.

pitashen · « **Reply #22 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 11:13:57 »

i wonder if this will end up being a zerg tournament

duq · « **Reply #23 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 11:44:27 »

I'd be interested. This is an awesome idea.

Also first to register on the page!

Time to win me some SC2

Reptile · « **Reply #33 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 13:09:19 »

K little update guys. I sent everyone a code who said they would like to participate. I am assuming there is someone here who has their pc set up to stream in somewhat decent quality; any volunteers would be awesome. If for some reason I did not send you a code or it doesn't work post in here and let me know.

I tried streaming last year. And I couldn't play and stream without it lagging like a *****. Need a good U/L bandwidth for it. I'm on the worse internet in the world atm. I hope noone pulls a DEEZER/CombatEX

Yeah but even if someone stream cheated their games wouldn't be cast every game so they would need skill to advance.

Nah Its not a concern. I was just poking fun at CombatEZ and deEZer = p.

maoiste · « **Reply #40 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 13:46:25 »

I don't have 50 posts, but then again i also don't have a NA account

.
Nice idea anyway.

Reptile · « **Reply #41 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 13:59:14 »

Yeah and I don't have EU :-( I have Taiwan account though. Crazy difference playing against koreans

DalaiLameR · « **Reply #42 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 13:59:31 »

if you are really interessted (and have enough posts until then) I could lend you my US-account to play the tournament .. but remember ... it starts 3am CET ^^

hazeluff · « **Reply #43 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 14:03:13 »

Wait we have to play it at the correct times? I thought it would of made more sense if we played it as an online tourney so that we can play whenever people are free (or at least allow flexibility when the games are played).

I don't mind playing late nights tho here from UK xD.

Reptile · « **Reply #44 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 14:29:24 »

I would like everyone to at least play the first game on the time given. You can schedule with your next opponent from there if you are too tired or have to go. Keep in mind I also do not want this lasting 3 weeks lol

jwaz · « **Reply #45 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 14:32:36 »

Woah, awesome you're doing this but I don't play at nearly a competitive enough level. Low PLAT

That's better than most. Do you want a code to enter?

jwaz · « **Reply #47 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 14:40:08 »

Haha thanks for the offer but I'd prefer to watch. Will there be a live stream/ spectating opportunity?

Looking for volunteers to stream still. I could do it but I don't have anything set up at all. I will if I have to though :-)

Gawkbasher · « **Reply #49 on:** Sat, 28 January 2012, 14:57:08 »

I could maybe stream. I end up commentating on the streams/games we (my roommates and I are all SC2 stream addicts) watch around the house, I'd just have to test to make sure my upload bandwidth is decent. Probably having a co-caster (Skype) would be best though...but honestly given the format, we'll probably want to stream replays anyway. I have high quality mics, cameras, and a computer setup with all the correct software.

I can't promise quality commentary though...
