I am thinking SC2SEA should hold a week of nostalgic tournaments for the fun of it. As our community is made up of many gamers from past games (check out the epic gaming history thread!), this will be a fantastic way to look back on previous games and relive some past memories for one week.
When - This will be held in roughly 2-3 months, which is the time period when D3 has been released and the hype has died down and the SEA Star League has finished. This is will also allow gamers ample time to train up on their favourite games to become a SC2SEA CHAMPION!!!!
Prizes - Each champion will win the title of SC2SEA champion of the respective game(appears below your forum name) AND a SC2SEA champion achievement. As of now there are no prizes other then that as this tournament is just supposed to be in good spirits and fun. However, if you like to contribute to make the competition stiffer, feel free to send me a PM.
i.e mOOnGLaDe
SC2SEA Champion of Warcraft 3
Format of games - This is not a league. Each tournament will be short and sweet and be carried out over single day. Format will be Bo3, double elimination and by the standard rules used in todays competitive scene.
Eligibility - members of the SC2SEA community. We want the winners to be from our region / site not someone random we do not know from a far away land.
OFFICIAL NOSTALGIA WEEK GAMES
Monday: ???
Tuesday: ???
Wednesday: Age of Empires 2
Thursday: Quake Live
Friday: Warcraft 3 - The Frozen Throne
Saturday: Starcraft 1 - Brood War

Captains for Race Wars at this point look likely to be mOOnGLaDe (last years captain - pretty sure he will confirm again!) Light (last years captain pretty sure he will confirm again!) Rossi (confirmed)
Of course this is pending on them choosing to accept and captain the team. Yes I know Starcraft 2 is not nostalgic.... yet!
