Starcraft:Broodwar Tourney.

mauldooku · Post by **mauldooku** » 2004-02-27 12:10am

Well, I play this game alot, and I know that several other SD.net people play as well. Sign here if you're interested in a tournament...I can handle the brackets, etc. Determining seeding will change depending on how many people we have.

First, my info:

Gateway: USEAST (Although I have cable, so I can connect to the others and be lag-free)

Bnet name: Badme

AIM Name: TerranMarine845

Next, the tourney format:

Seeding: TBA

Elimination Rounds: 1v1, Amount of matches in each round TBA

Maps: Anything I can pick from my progamers' maps folder. Preferablly lots of Lost Temple with some Gaema Gowon thrown in there.

Suggestions? Anyone interested?

Interested, but don't laugh at me: I've never played StarCraft over BNet before.

What's involved? Is it full of fuckheads?

BNet? Depends on where you hang out. I know a bunch of good, funny players in op ~nohunters on USEAST.

The tourney would only be for SD.net players, so, make up your minds about whether we're fuckheads

Makeup my minds? I'm pretty sure I've only got one... barely use it, but nevertheless...

Well, I'm interested. I'd probably get my arse handed to me, but that's what I get for not playing SC in a long time...

I actually intended that post to be addressed to everyone interested in joining, as we're all fuckheads when it comes down to it

Be practicing then, dude ;o

I haven't played in months, and all I did play were money maps and use map settings

melee, meh, but set up evolves madness or some other decent madnesses and I'm there.

How about some Epic battles - get a whole lot of people on a huge 8 player map, last one standing gets crowned "Universe's Badass!"

Another idea: maps with unique settings, with triggers and stuff.

Or were you thinking more of a straight 1v1 non-modified map, and so on?

Well, I'm in as long as we're not gonna be playing a BGH $$$$$$$$ Map. I haven't played in about a year though so I'll probably get my ass handed to me.

Is that some sort of code, 'cause I can't decipher it. What the hell is a BGH $$$$ map?

And as for the arse handing, you and me both dude. I've got to start practicing again.

It's the name of a virtually infinite resources map, meaning almost infinite money. It's a newbie map in many ways.

I might or might not join, depending on when and how much time I have. Though you would do well to use ladder maps for the match.

And make the game passworded also.

I'm interested, although I haven't played SC online in about 6 months. (It always seems I end up with assholes in the games no matter what..)

Just as long as it's not one of those stupid $$$$BGH$$$ maps I see all the time. (Seeing 5 trillion zerg is not as fun as it sounds when the host is running on a 56k modem...)

Well, the seeding round will probobaly be an FFA like you imagined, but the elimination rounds I intend to run straight, 1v1.

Oh, and a good deal of ladder maps are pro maps, the most common, of course, being Lost Temple.

For anyone interested in some of the other pro maps, check out www.sclegacy.com's map section.

That's the prelimiary brackets, although they're really just placeholders until I can run the seeding round.

Everyone in, now that you know the game type and format?

(I added lennox because I play with him often).

Stofsk · Post by **Stofsk** » 2004-02-27 10:31am

Looks good, though I'd like the weekend off to practice my skills. What are the rules, conventions etc? And what are the details on the "seeding" round?

mauldooku · Post by **mauldooku** » 2004-02-27 02:45pm

You know how they set it up in the NCAA basketball contest, where the best plays the worst in their division at the start? It's basically like that, just with a smaller amount of players. So, if you finish last in the seeding FFA, you'll be going against the person who finished first in the FFA, for the first elimination round (unless he has a Bye). Of course, you can always upset him/her, but if you came in last and he came in first, he's probably going to win.

Everyone interested, please post your AIM name, preferred gateway, Connection Type, and Bnet name.

I'll repost some of my details:

Connection: Cable

Gateway: USEast

Bnet name: Badme

AIM: TerranMarine845

mauldooku · Post by **mauldooku** » 2004-02-27 05:56pm

Lenny says that he's in.

AIM: captainlennox

BNet name: comradelennox

Gateway: USeast

Connection: ???

Stofsk · Post by **Stofsk** » 2004-02-27 10:32pm

So I need to get AIM, right? What gateways are available? And how do I get on BNet?

Connection: Cable.

Hethrir · Post by **Hethrir** » 2004-02-27 11:18pm

I'll be in.

AIM: Hethrir80

BNet name: Hethrir

Gateway: USwest or east

Connection: Cable

ArmorPierce · Post by **ArmorPierce** » 2004-02-27 11:49pm

when does sign ups end by. I have loaned the game to a friend and I won't be getting it back for another week. I also haven't played the game in years cause Terrans is underpowered vs protoss.

Exonerate · Post by **Exonerate** » 2004-02-28 12:27am

Eh, I guess I'm in.

AIM: Mdiotic Ioron
Bnet: Exonerate... I think.
Gateway: USWest
Connection: DSL

Count me in.

Bnet: Spyderizer
aim: spyda00000

email: spyderizer at paradise.net.nz

I recommend a 1v1 round robin. Everyone plays each other, most victories wins.

It looks like we'll have more than 8 people, so I might have to take that route. Problem is, that tends to take a LONG time, and it requires that everyone be on sc for a long time at the same time. FFA is just one game, so its faster.

I might have to just run 2 ffas and then randomly decide seeding for the two people in each who finish in the same place.

Armor Piere, Terran isn't underpowered vs. Protoss. Just ask lenny and the technique of 'pushing' I use

Stofsk, AIM would be nice, as it seems everyone but you has it, and its great for communication. To get on bnet, merely go to multiplayer on the starcraft screen, and click battle.net. You'll probably need to patch it, which the program does automatically.

Then, after you restart your program, next time you get on bnet you can choose a gateway. Gateways available: USEast, USWest, Asia , and Europe.

Thing is, if you have cable/DSL, you can usually easily play lag-free on gateways other than the one you live near. If you have dial-up, you'll lag badly if you even attempt to join a gateway that's not your optimal one. That's why I'm asking people to list their connection speed.

Oh, and I'll be updating the brackets. I'm removing anyone who hasn't posted their aim/bnet/connection/gateway. I'll add you back when I get that info
