StarCraft 2 SC:L North American Team

[Twilice]

Go with a team vs team instead player vs player, each player plays with everyone from the opposing team. (I guess that is what this was about, NA vs EU )

And then either add up the score, or give the "win" to the best player but it will be shared with the team.

Perhaps a faster thing to do would be to make it single elimination where if each player plays each other, whoever loses doesn't play again, until one team has no players.

Starts off with 4 x 1v1's

This could possibly result in 1 player beating everybody on the other team for victory as the last player left.

The "all kill" idea was thrown around as the finals format for a bit. It does create a bit more drama to see if there can be an all kill. But, it was decided that since this is a friendly competition we should make it so that everyone who earned the right to play in the showmatch got to play in the showmatch. And when I say it was decided I am not saying that I sat in a corner and rolled my 20 sided die or anything, there was an actual thread about it on the forums a few weeks before either of the tournaments started where we discussed everything that would happen.

The general consensus was it would be 4 1v1 bo3 matches. Player A from NA would play player Player A from EU in a best of three, and then the next 2 people would play. If 2 players from NA won and 2 players from EU won there would be an ace match where each team could pick whoever they wanted from their team to play in another best of 3 to decide who wins the entire showmatch for their region.

We decided it was going to be all best of threes because the more matches two people play, the better chance the better play will win. And we decided it was going to be 4 1v1s because of the fact that time is an issue, and we are using game time cards for cross server play so we do not have a whole lot of time. So even though your idea was thought of as well Twilice, we literally do not have the time to do so this tournament.

Keep in mind however, all the rules we have/had for this tournament are just for this tournament itself. This whole thing was just a small scale trial run for perhaps bigger showmatches later on. So while the big things about this particular tournament are set, it does not mean it could not change for future tournaments. If the desire to make it bigger is there from the contestants, it could possibly happen. It really is up to you for the future. Anyway, good luck to all those that made it to the actual showmatch, more details will be provided at a later time. Until then, GL HF.

So what now?

my boys are slacking, don't worry, everything will happen. Just need to settle some things and we'll start arranging dates with Silencbank.

[Thumper]

No open spots I assume? I can definitely help smash them Europeans

[SaharaDrac]

How are we even gonna play each other?

[KDraconis]

How are we even gonna play each other?

I thought there were people donating their NA guest passes to the EU people?

This is like one of those cartoons where friends plan an epic journey, only for them to realise (upon arrival) that none of them brought some important item because they all thought another person was gonna do it .

[Hammy]

No it's not there was a whole thread about this and it's pretty much figured out.

Now it's about picking a date that works for everyone. We only need one NA guest pass for this to work, and we already have it.
