    Welcome to the fifth Giantbomb EU community Starcraft II tournament! 

    Last time we had a false start, but I'm back and this time we won't have any problems or scheduling errors. (I hope)
    This tournament is open to players of all skill levels and you're welcome to come spectate even if you're not participating.
        

    Let's get started!

     
    1.) Sign up here using your Battle.net ID(i.e. Name#123)
    http://challonge.com/tournament/signup/fco5pcm3yg 

    2.) Join the ingame chat channel 'giantbomb'. Remember the tournament starts at 19:30 CET, so you might want to be there 5 minutes early, though it's not a big problem if you're delayed.
     
    3) If you're not playing/participating, you can watch Jappernaut's stream here:
     http://www.livestream.com/jappernaut 
     
     
    Bracket:
     http://challonge.com/gbsceu5
     

    Rules:

    - The tournament will be played in a double elimination format. This means you'll have to lose twice in order to be eliminated.
    - The semi-final and final matches will be played as a Best-of-3.
    - If a player drops from a match, he may request a rematch, assuming the match was relatively even. 
    - No cheating or use of exploits is allowed.
    - Spectating other people's matches is allowed, assuming you don't have to play a match yourself. But please be courteous enough to leave if a player experiences lag due to a large number of spectators.

    Maps:

    - All current 1v1 Ladder maps will be in the map pool. 
    - Lost Temple
    - Delta Quadrant
    - Shakuras Plateau
    - Metalopolis
    - Steppes of War
    - Scrap Station
    - Blistering Sands
    - Xel'naga Caverns
    - Jungle Basin (Isn't in the map pool anymore, but I need an uneven amount of maps for the elimination method to be fair.)
     

    - Map to play on will be determined by elimination. Each player will eliminate one map each until only one map remains to play on. (You can also just come to a consensus together on which map you want to play on)
    - In the Best-of-3's in the semi-final and final the loser gets to pick the map after the first game.

    How to sign up:

    Reply in this thread saying you'd like to enter. Official sign-ups will be at the start of the tournament in order to eliminate no-shows and to keep the number of Bye's to a minimum.
    Posting your B.net ID and character code might also be a good idea. This'll allow me and the other participants to add you now, rather than the day of the tournament. This'll save some time and hassle.

    You also need an EU Battle.net account in order to participate.
     

    When:

    The tournament is going to start on Saturday February 12th, 19:30 Central European Time.

    Sign-ups will be open until 19:30 CET, so make sure you sign-up in time or you'll be unable to participate.
    I'll post the sign-up page on the day of the tournament. Bracket will be posted after sign-ups are closed.

    I'll participate. imsh #928
     
    Also is this map choosing method 100% set and unchabgable? Not trying to be a dick here, but if every player starts eliminating every map they're uncomfortable on, we'll just end up with every match on Metalopolis or Xel'Naga...
     
    Couldn't me make it more variable? I think the way ladders work (cross off 3 maps from your list) is actually very good.
     
    Of course I don't want to interfere if people have chosen the way of determining the maps by elimination till one remains.

     @imsh_pl: 
    No, the way to choose maps is not set in stone, but in my opinion it's the easiest way to decide on a map. The first time I organized the tournament, I let people 'vote down' maps and picked the map at random. Problem with that is that every time players need to pick a map, I need to be involved. With the elimination method it only requires the players themselves. It helps move things along.
     
    And yes, this'll result in people removing some maps they don't feel comfortable on, but I'm personally fine with that considering some maps are terrible. But, to be honest, I don't think every map played will be Xelnaga or Metal, I can't remember exactly, but last tournament we used the same method and we ended up playing on almost all the maps.
    If you've got a better idea on how to choose maps, I'd love to hear it though. I'm open to suggestions.
     
    @Jazz2: 
    What Raiz said. The giantbomb sc2 channel is 'giantbomb'. I'm not sure if capitalization matters.

    You can also join the games as an observer if you don't have to play games yourself ofcourse.  But yea, I'm going to stream so everyone can watch, hopefully I can get the framerate up a little more to make the stream even better.

    When I get back I'll see if I can come, even just to spectate. I'd like to do a 4vs4 fastest map possible, that would be epic with communication.
     
    Edukator is my name
    Protoss is my game
    I have a decent internet connection
     
    Will there be a strem/Commentator? My measely, quad core 2.6 Ghz GT330m wouldn't be able to do a decent job spectating and commentating but I could do a voice chat while spectating, it'd be cool. :P  I do watch a fair amount of it and know my way around the mechanics. Just just not very good.

    Because the stream crashed livestream didn't save the first part of the tourney, so you'll have to make do with replays im afraid. I hope it won't happen next time, maybe I should save the recordings more often :P.
