Have to say, $5 is super cheap for a tournament so i have to commend you on that! You did good son.

Thanks man! The IT club really wants to give away money to gamers, so as long as we have the numbers, we have no problem continuing these events

We are trying to get the sc2 tournament all done on the Saturday, so hopefully it wont take up your entire weekend. (Were working on a revised total schedule). The games will be running simultaneously if we have a high volume of games to get through, if its a more manageable number we may try and have one or two running at once so that others can watch

[ThatGuyDoMo]

Oof I would come and watch but I have a Tekken tournament to attend

wtf domo nice dodge

The IT Club really wants to make this event successful, as a result, we will be offering a $50 door prize (selected by random draw) in addition to the $50 prize pool. Entry remains the same at $5. At this point, were trying to gauge numbers on how to make this event more regular, so the more people that show interest, the larger the prize pool will become and the more often we can host. Come show your support for Brisbane SC2!

Sounds really cool since I'm into both Hearthstone and SC2 but I can't make this weekend unfortunately, hope to make the next one.

[TheMightyOne]

No problem man, thanks for your interest

[TheMightyOne]

Look forward to seeing everybody at the tournament! We will be located in level 5 of S block at the Gardens Point Campus. If your unsure of where to go, I'll swing by the food-court at 11:50 to see if there is anyone there (Ill be wearing an old LG-IM shirt so be on the lookout, I'll be very hard to miss).

[Japetto]

Really hope this goes well today. Really wish I wasn't doing my 15 hour work day and look forward to coming down to an event in the future! gl hf.

It seems like quite a few people are busy this time, I hope this doesn't discourage more of these sc2 events being hosted!

Also, if you remember, can you please post a bracket for the sc2 tournament here mightyone? ^^

Wow look its the mighty 3rd place finisher

[TheMightyOne]

Unfortunately the Uni computers wipe anything that a user has put on them when they are logged off (this sadly includes the replay files). I'd like to give a huge thank you to all of those that came out and played, I know that aspects that we can improve on and I would love to hear your feedback! The next step is going to be getting more players involved as well as streaming the games live. Thoughts, comments and suggestions are welcomed, what can we do better?!?!?

You beat me to it thank you for posting tho! Anything else you guys want to see? We plan on live streaming the next event as well for those that can't be there

[asdfSchnitzel]

I'll try and add to this as I think of more

+ [1) Give us more notice] +

A lot of people had no idea this was even being put on until someone found it hidden on reddit and mentioned it here, so we had about 4 days notice to try and get to the lan. Obviously you already realised this and mentioned in the future you were going to try and give us more notice - so hopefully this will improve attendance

+ [2) Decide on format prior to the day and make sure sets are being played] +

One of the problems we had when the lan first started was we didn't have a set format coming into it - it was only after about 20 minutes of discussion that we decided on round robin. Obviously one of the biggest factors of this was the fact that only 6 people showed up, but coming into next lan there needs to be a set format (eg. Double Elimination Bo3 with Bo5 finals) so the games can start asap. Also making sure that everyone who can be playing at a set point in time are playing helps to make the days shorter, as with larger numbers there will obviously be longer days - which are possible to avoid with good adminning

Otherwise good job! Hope to see these more often

[TheMightyOne]

The more notice part is easily fixed, the executive of the club sort of just went "hey we need a tournament this weekend, hey you play Starcraft, you should make a tournament for this weekend" Mad props for all of you that came out and with more notice we should easily get more participants. The format is another question entirely, this tournament being more of a trial event, we toyed with a few ideas and decided on a round robin the day of. The next tournament WILL be a Double elimination (Bo3 brackets, Bo5 finals), at least thats my intention at this point, as we'll be under much more of a time constraint with more players. Regarding the next tournament as well, it will probably span two days (depending on the number of players) and have online entrants. We still plan on making the lab that we used this weekend open for all those that want a LAN experience because lets face it, there is nothing like 980Mbps internet :P

can i run a fiber cable to my house from the lab? :P

[asdfSchnitzel]

In regards to making it a two day event - I would advise against that, as for many people taking a single day for a lan is a stretch sometimes, let alone two days. Also the second day will always have significantly less people than the first, as people who have been knocked out on the first day have nearly no reason to come to the second day apart from to talk more to people. So I would advise trying to fit it into a single day if possible

TheMightyOne:

Hmmm good point, I'll take that into consideration

[x5_Namakaye]

That internet was BEAUTIFUL. With more people we wont have the liberty of playing micro tounrey for like 1.5hrs so keep that in mind :P
