can uhh, the next tournament be run any faster than the previous?

like, at the very least give like a 3 day limitation for each round to get your games done

 

[rhan]

Some people do have lives out of online gaming...

 

[Zankoku]

Yeah, I'm setting one week deadlines to stay reasonable. We always start the next round early if the current one finishes entirely in the middle of the week, but most people can't up and play a full tournament set in the middle of a school week on demand.

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

winter break coming up

would be a great time to kickstart this thing

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

3 day limitations are way too short, 1 week it fine imo.

[[GB]Cecil]

Sup,

I normally post in the Atlantic South part of the forums by organizing the Orlando tournaments but I was told to make a post here about Starcraft II. My name is Cecil and I used to do audio commentaries for WcReplays and what not. Well, I'm back into the scene but through Starcraft II this time <3

Mods: If this post is too self-serving or advertising, I've got no problem taking it down. Sorry in advance for that if it's the case.

Every Monday/Wednesday/Weekends I will be doing doing live games, audio commentaries and Q&A sessions in both 1v1 diamond (2500+ points rank 1-4) and 2v2 diamond with some VT clanmates. I just set up a youtube channel where you can view on demand audio commentaries and more to come. Above all, I would like to provide you all a livestream that doesn't belong to me, but to you guys. The channel is always providing content and has no listener cap to it. I have been doing audio commentaries, shoutcasts, and even competing in the events myself for over 7 years now and I hope to keep the tradition going strong in Sc2!

I'd like to use this thread as a feedback for you guys to provide your own input and suggestions for future matches. At the moment, it is more geared towards a first-person perspective of diamond games with a blend of audio commentaries. If you would like a change, just post in here. On to the ever changing stats you will see:

Tune in: livestream.com/cecil
Current audio count: 22 ( find these in the LS video library and youtube.)
Race: Zerg (solo) Random (2v2)
Ladder: Diamond 1v1 - 2500+ points
YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/Neilmurp
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Cecil.ESports
Shows at every Monday / Wednesday / at 7:30 - 11:30pm EST as well as weekend events!

Micro better? Keep your Marauders up front, make sure you have concussives, kite with Marines (don't bother kiting with Marauders, so they can hold the line and slow down the banes, and lesser Z players will a-move their banes into Marauders). Other than that, it's hard to transition out of 3rax when you're behind, which is pretty heavy 1basing.

 

[M@v]

Had an hour twenty minute tvz today. It pretty much came down to my few marines vs his 3-4 remaining infestors. I'm able to hold them off and get the only mining base on the map operational. So after this long game we congrats eachother right? Nope. He just *****es terran's op and leaves.

Clan vT? Is vT]BlueCow still involved with anything? I remember him being the clan leader at some point in Wc3. That is, if this is the same vT clan as Wc3. Oh, the good ol' days.

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

I think he means the team with Whiplash, Spades, etc. I looked on their site and saw his stream listed, that's really impressive.

In his defense, they kind of are. I beat you had mules to mine

But how do 3 marines beat two or more infestors anyway o_O

 

[SCOTU]

the infestors don't have energy. That's one way, anyways.

 

[Overswarm]

Still, two fungal growths and GG :B

[M@v]

I had shields and they were fully upped. I kept creeping an extra marine out here and there due to floating cc. i had 200 gas, so i scrounged up enough for a raven which pretty much sealed the deal. I can post the replay if you want, but like I said, its a freaking hour and freaking 20 minutes long T_T

Ankoku will need your character code as well if you want to enter the tournament =).

 

[Zankoku]

Upgrades make no difference against Fungal Growth. Marines will take 36 damage from a Fungal whether they'e at level 0 or level 3 armor.

 

[M@v]

I know. I meant I had the shields, which gave me 55 hp. Just a little more robust because he was using infested terrans to keep harassing my only remaining CC. So I was forced to engage them a couple times to save my cc.

 

[Zankoku]

Unless you're claiming that out of three Infestors, your Marines only got hit by a single Fungal, having 45 HP or 55 HP makes no difference against two iterations of 36 damage.

This VT is the right one

 

[M@v]

I know. He was pretty bad at fungal and wouldn't get all my marines at once(I had them spread.)

the shields helped when I had to fight the infested terrans. Also I actually had minimal income through sporatic mining from my cc with my couple SCVs+mules. So I'd get an extra couple marines here and there. When I finally secured an expo it was gg.

Extend (Need 5 to be valid):
Oh.
Scar
Signia
Anther

Tournament will start once Kenrawr, shanus, and Cynan finish up the finals of the current tourney.

 

[Oh.]

AW **** I MISSED IT

let some extra people sign up since the first tourney still isnt done yet...and seed/give byes based on the results of the first tourney rather than just 1v1 league rankings

 

[rhan]

Oh if you want my spot I'll forfeit it to you. I'd rather be a spector really then play.

 

[Zankoku]

If a lot of people still want in, I'll extend signups, but having numbers of players that aren't multiples of 16 causes brackets to look rather... messy.

 

[Overswarm]

Where is anther d:

 

[¯\_S.(ツ).L.I.D._/¯]

This VT is the right one

That's awesome. VT has some cool guys, I've been watching Pokebunny's stream a lot the last few day.

 

[Scar]

sign me up

 

[M@v]

So like, not all terrans this time....yay.

Don't feel like doing 3 hour sets every round ^_^

 

[Zankoku]

[Nashun]

[Kenrawr]
