Apologies for the delay of the 2v2 live tournament, the 1v1 live tournament did end. Any games not caught on stream for the 2v2 tournament will be done separately and released on youtube. I'll let you know when that is. This next tournament will not have a 2v2 tournament on the same day, I'm delaying the next 2v2 tournament to October 13th. Also, since Mythonian and Kcscrag will not be here, I will be hosting the stream on my friend's computer. I need extra commentators so add me @ Lolowut on skype if you're interested. (Skype is a requirement)

Time & Date: 12:00PM US/Central @ October 6th, 2012.


Methods of joining:

The easiest way to join this tournament is to post here. You will be thrown into my invite list directly, and be thrown into the total count of participants. This will help me gauge how many people will be playing and how big to make the tournament.

There are two other ways to join. I will be making a "Lobby" to test whether or not the participants signed up are active. This will show up in the tourney listings. So either you can be invited to it, or join it outright.

Lobby:

Even if you post here and get thrown on my invite list your spot is not guaranteed. You have to prove to me you're on at that time. I will be inviting everyone I know on Warlight into this "Lobby", to guarantee your spot you must join that tourney.

Disqualifications:

You may be disqualified from ever entering the tournament again if you:

1. Fail to join the actual tournament.
2. Get booted during the actual tournament.

It is up to the host's discretion.

Commentators:

Currently, Mythonian, Kcscrag, and I are the commentators. If you're interested in becoming a commentator (especially useful when one of us doesn't feel up to doing it), invite me to a game or add me on skype at Lolowut. You must have skype in order to become a commentator, I'm not willing to play around with unfamiliar programs. Only things you'll have to prove to me is that you have enough knowledge of 1v1 and in some cases 2v2 in order to accurately analyze a game, and not have a boring voice.

Q/As

Q: What happens if we don't get a nice number of people that would make the brackets logical?

A: Everyone who joined the Lobby will be thrown into the actual tournament, if the number of people is greater than the bracket, then it becomes a contest of joining fastest. I'm not willing to set up byes and odd brackets and host the tourney through invited games. Sorry, just the way I run it.

Q: Who hosts the stream or tournament if none of the founders(Lolowut, Mythonian, Kcscrag) can?

A: Anyone can host it. I'm sure if I'm unable to host it I'd be willing to give you tips on how to do it. The stream requires a great computer, so be careful.

Q: I don't have a great voice and speak English terribly, but I do want to help the analysis, how do I do so?

A: Add Mythonian or I on skype. Me @ Lolowut and Myth @ Mythonian. We both have skype up during the tourney and can get your thoughts conveyed.

Q: I signed up, but I'm not getting invited. Why?

A: If you were disqualified from entry ever again, I've invited you to a game and informed you. Plead your case, I may be willing to let you back in.

I'm in, and sorry for not turning up yesterday, but Awesome didnt turn up anyway, so I didnt ruin his game :D
btw who is TBA?

I think it's the placeholder, aka "To be announced"

If you make one of the tournaments on Sunday, I'd like to be a co-commentator full-time. If you'd be willing to do it on Sunday this week, I'd be happy to do it instead of playing.

I would love to join

I would love to see Sze as a commentator...dunga taught me a lot about how the top guys think and sze could teach even more...And I am definitely up for it next week...I should be here again.

Sorry for not showing up, the Physics Seminar was moved 2 hours ahead because the Biochemistry department were being morons again. They ended up rescheduling their meeting on the exact time the Physics Seminar was supposed to happen at the last minute, and we got bumped to an earlier time....but I guess I should have seen that coming again...

Szeweningen, later this week I'll decide whether or not to host yet another 1v1 tournament on Sunday, in which case I would love to take you up on your offer ;)

I would like to do the tournament.

Sign me up.

Sign me up

Unfortunatly i failed to join the last 2 tournaments, i'm considered out from the next ones? :(

i am in :/

I'd love to, but I can't. ;(

Red, you didn't fail to join, you just usually ended up too late. I've already disqualified some players, and I do so through private games and chats.

Joining the Lobby after noon passes doesn't guarantee you a spot. Generally around 10 minutes after you can still get in, but it's very likely that I'll be too busy setting everything up to give you the opportunity to take someone else's spot due to them being slow.

One thing i want to make it clear about my commentaries is the fact I coudn't control the actions and the history buttons, so I needed to use a more OVERVIEW and consider more Area Control and the actions towards it.
I thought by comparing with them analizing other games that I was already taking too long to commenting each turn, of course I can analize the game move by move, and if I was focused more details in the actions and all the micromanagement I would spot the mistakes mentioned and much more, but it would take even longer for sure.

Sorry I went inactive, internet problems. Sign me up for the next one, I hope I'll make it this time, may have complications though

Sign me up aswell :)

I'm in if you'll have me

You confirm this week will be only the 1v1 ?
