    Domorin wins it yet again!

    Intro

    During the beta, the Giant Bomb Community was able to put together some great tournaments. They were extremely succesful, Brad even participated and mentioned the first tournament on the Bombcast. Now that the game is out and we've all had some time to play it, it's time to hold another tournament. The tournament is open to all skill levels, so don't be afraid to participate. You can always drop by just to spectate matches or watch the live stream, too. 
     
    Now with 100% more staff participation!

    Important Information

    The tournament will take place on Saturday, August 21 at 1:30PM CDT (2:30PM EDT, 11:30 AM PDT). At that time, a link to a page containing specific instructions, chat, and a live bracket will beposted here. If you're late, you may be disqualified. You must have a battle.net account that's able to play with US battle.net accounts in order to participate (sorry). There may be a prize for the winner, it has not yet been finalized.  Instructions for entering are below.
     
    Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions. You can reply to this thread, send me a PM, or contact me in-game (I'm Harris - 788). 
     

    Bracket

     You can view the live updating bracket here: 
    http://challonge.com/gbsc3    

    Details

     (You probably don't have to read these)
    • The tournament will likely go on for several hours. We may choose to conclude the session if many participants cannot stay, and continue at a later date. 
    • The tournament will be played in a double-elimination format. This means you have to lose twice to be eliminated.
    • The semi-final and final matches will be played best of 3.
    • Each round of the tournament will be played on a specific map. These maps will be posted here when they are determined. In the semi-final and final matches, the loser of each match will pick the next map to be played.
    • If a player is dropped from a match, they may request a rematch if the match was fairly even. 
    • Obviously no cheating or exploits are tolerated. Anything else is allowed. 
    • You can spectate any match as long as you're not about to enter a match of your own.
    • Replays of the matches will be posted here as they become available.
    • The bracket will be posted here when it is finalized.
    • Matches will be live streamed, so feel free to come by and watch.
    • These details are subject to change.

    How to enter

    Simply reply below with your StarCraft II name and character code to enter. You can find your character code by opening your friends list, and clicking the "Add Friend" button. Your character code will be displayed in the top right of the Add Friend window. It is important that you provide both your name and character code. Be sure to read over at least the Important Information section.
     

    Signups are closed. 

    Signups closed on Thursday, August 19. 
     

    Thanks, I look forward to seeing you at the tournament!

    Count me in again, man! Couldn't make the last one, but am stoked for this one. I'm still not great, but I should be better than the first tournament.

    I'm definitely interested, but I'll see if I can participate later. August 21st is smack dab, right in the middle of final exam week for me. At the very least, I'll show up to spectate some matches.  
     
    Also happy birthday Kaos and Domorin!

    @DoctorWelch: There's a pretty wide range of skill levels. We're considering seeding the bracket so people of similar rankings are matched against each other to begin with (not completely sure about this yet). In the worst case scenario you'll lose two games and get to watch some great matches :)

    I'd totally enter if I was any good at all. Or if I could guarantee availability on that day. I'd still like to maybe spectate though. Does that require may name and code?

    Hoping I can make it, but may be busy that weekend.  One question - it's both double elimination and best of 3 for semis/finals?  So do things just reset at the final four, or would you get any advantage to making to the final four w/o a loss?  Not saying that I'd do that, but just wanted to clarify how it all works in the last rounds.

    To all afraid of joining due to low skill level, join anyway! I'm terrible, but it'll still be fun. Worst comes to worst you get to watch a lot of good players and pick up some strategies. Just watching the first tournament substantially improved my game. Hey, maybe we terrible players will have some fun pick-up matches after we lose. This isn't some "hard-core" torunament. Everyone here is extremely kind and gracious. No one will care if your not top tier diamond league or if your bottom tier copper.

    Looking at the signups, it seems to be a pretty varied group.  There are some high leagues, and some lower, and one or two who haven't played 1v1 at all >_> 
     
    So, hopefully everyone will get at least 1 or 2 good matchups.

    @Deathpooky: Yes, the double elimination is still in effect for the semi-final and final matches, so you would indeed have an advantage coming in from the winners bracket. 
     
    @scarace360: I've notified Brad of the tournament, but he has not responded yet. Seeing as he enjoyed the first tournament and continues to like StarCraft a lot, I'm guessing he'll participate if he's free that day.
