Those who regulary visit #omnimaga may have heard I was planning to do a Starcraft Tournament during christmas holidays since october, when everyone has no school, and some seemed interested, so I decided to post about it now in case they would still be interested.
Basically it would be cool if there was some kind of TI community Starcraft tournament, just for the fun of it. There would be no prize, but it would be pretty fun anyway. :)
Basically here is how it would work:-It would be a Starcraft Classic tournament, not brood war, since some people can't seems to find brood war or just doesn't have it but have the original game.
-Game mode would be over battle.net US east server.
-Map would be Starcraft Dream, Fastest possible map ever or Micro Jail deluxe, to ensure very fast games (as they were hacked so the mineral spots are stuck next to the main building and 10 mineral spot are stuck together and there is lot of vespene geyser around so you are sure to never run out of ressource and build fast)
-Game mode would be free for all. This mean everyone against each others, no teams.
-If we get 8 people, there would be 3 games. Last 4 remaining players would play a second time against each others, then the two last remaining players against each others. If there is less or more players this may change the amount of rounds of game played.
-Champions would be listed in a topic in the awards section.
The hardest part would be to decide which day we do it. During beginning of week it would have to be during morning, end of week evenings and weekend it could be anytime during daytime, providing it is not too late during evenings.
To know who is the winner, everyone would have to save a replay of the game, and email it to me afterward so i can view everyone's replay and see who won and who died when. Those who don't send a replay would be disqualified.
I hope some people are interested. I thought it would be fun even though it's not calc related if we had a online game tournament withy only TI community members or old TI community members during Christmas or New Year break.

An idea would be that we do a massive free for all, which determines who play against who. Probably strongest vs strongest or like in NHL playoffs Strongest vs weakest. That way after the big free for all each person play against someone else, and the winner go to next round

I don't care for the format as long as it's fun! ^^

Edit: Perhaps, if we do some kind of round-robin bracket set-up thing, we can all get with our opponents and play whenever we want. That way, we wouldn't be chaining ourselves to a date, and we could always set some kind of deadline to make sure no one procrastinates. Also, I say if we don't get more than 8 players, we should introduce enough comps to make it 8 players.

And it's the same for me as it is for SCK: Saturdays and Sundays (maybe Friday evenings, but weekends are more convienent) are the best days for me, as school is demanding, and my parents don't care for me to play games instead of work. ;)

assuming for example that rivereye, me, silver and spelli played, it would be like this
spelli v rivereye
spelli v silver
spelli v xlibman
silver v rivereye
silver v xlibman
rivereye v xlibman
so there would be 6 games, each people would get one point per win. if the winner doesnt save a replay, he get no point though, so that reduce his chance of reaching finals. 2 person would reach finals. If in any case there is a tie, those person plays again against each other. if there is 3 person tied to make things faster it would be 1v1v1 free for all for this game.

THere will be no prize, as it is mostly for fun, but you'Ll be in the award section of the site probably.
Also @everyone: PLEASE DISABLE XFIRE DURING TOURNAMENT, IT MAKE THE GAME LAG SO BADLY!
EDIT: yea I'll post the replays. It will be fun cuz then everyone will see how ppl planned their strategy and built

And like in the game vs you (xlibman), I was too slow and you already beat one of my bases down ^^
But then, I now have a bit more experience with sc since I was on a LAN on sylvester, polishing my skills :D
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 02, 2007, 04:16:00 am
hm ok I guess I wasn't close to beating you yet x.xI guess I should have rushed XD
Post by: Spellshaper on January 02, 2007, 04:22:00 am
Build multiple bases.
-> more ressources
-> faster research
-> decentralized and fast army building
-> should one base fall, migrate the growing army to another. saves ressources in the long run, since you don't have to stay and defend at all costs.
The big part of my army was in the lower left corner of the map.
I had another eleven carriers there and was researching arbiter tecs for surprise surprise teleportations :knight:
but still I think I was too slow lolz

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on January 24, 2007, 02:35:00 am Also along with the sc tournament there may be a warcraft III one afterward Post by: Delnar_Ersike on January 24, 2007, 01:43:00 pm
for a Warcraft III tournament (if there will be one, I guess), maybe there could be a large DotA game :P  . I don't really mean it, however, since many people actually know how to play Warcraft III instead of just playing DotA all day :oops:Post by: CureDesu on January 24, 2007, 03:02:00 pm :banghead:
