How do tournaments work?
There's just a fee of 35 euros that will allow you to enter Brawl among other tourneys as well as access the venue for all 4 days including a sleeping area.
So how do we get Brawl as an official tournament?
I'll try to summarize the story: A member of the staff is a smasher and has been pushing to get the game as an official tournament but he didn't succeed. This week though the staff has noticed that they could invest 3000 euros in cash prizes into another game and Brawl is being considered. We just need two things: People and top players. The staff has expressed that they want at least 60 players but also top players from other countries assisting. Spain alone usually gets numbers around 50 or 60 for nationals so the first issue won't be a problem. So what we need is mainly foreign players interested in coming to this tourney. 3000 euros just for brawl is huge and I'm sure players from Europe and maybe the United States will be interested, but please you need to let us know soon so we can confirm it as soon as possible.
This tournament is not only a chance for a big international tourney in Europe, something that hasn't happened for quite some years. It's also a chance that the Spanish Brawl community gets accepted within the rest of eSports communities and thus it has a lot of importance to us.
I'm not a staff member from this tournament but I will try to answer any question you may have. By the way if anyone distrusts this because of ñgamers I'd like to say that screwed up stuff like no replays getting saved won't happen. These guys have been running tournaments for a while and they will let the community run the tournament. There will also be a stream for sure. The tourney is at a LAN party with awesome Internet connection. We still need to get a setup but that we can work around.
As I said earlier I can't say more about this tourney right now and I'm very sorry about that. We can talk via PM if you want to know something I can't say here at the moment. The second Brawl is confirmed to be in I'll be able to make a proper announcement but the thing is it won't get in in the first place if we don't get what I said earlier.
So for now I'll just need people interested and hopefuly in a week we'll know how it ends. Some popular players like Mew2king or Mr.R would probably guarantee that the staff gets interested in picking up Brawl.
