Im want to try and get a low level tourney started, pretty much like the tourney we have now (and this isnt meant to take any players away from that) but for bronze and silver players. The reason i want to do this is just a place where not everyone will feel intimidated to join. Somewhere where the focus is to get better not necessarily to win. i would want to have these more freqquently. but i wanna know what the community thinks, lemme know guys!

if you want a low level tourney i say its for bronze silver and gold. im barely into gold league but am told thats still low level and i cant really talk until i at least get to platinum.

Yeah... I consider Gold to be minimally competent.  I mean, I'm bronze but from the golds I play, they aren't much better than I am.  :/

Also, I would love to participate in a tournament.  Kyreo.639

I've been wanting to do the community tournament, but I'm just intimidated when there's Master's players in there.

I'm Gold on NA.  DexterMorgan #338.

I dunno man, our GB tournaments are pretty low-barrier to entry and not very intimidating already! I don't know how well the gb community could bare another tourney on top of our already usual monthly one, not to mention one that is more regular. A sort of organized game night is feasible, though. Maybe once per week. I don't know who would organize it, I haven't been in contact with the usual GB starcraft stuff organizing crowd for awhile. I know they're all really busy now with exams and preparations for summer, though. Once things clear up on their schedule I imagine there will be more involvement by them in organizing gb starcraft community events!

I think this is a good idea, and I would participate in both. I'm still Bronze right now, so it would be good to have one where I actually have a chance. Mikus #558 on NA server.

I had to play plat and diamond players at yesterdays tournement would love for a lower level one.

In the stream over the weekend someone told me he got in 7th as a gold player, which was quite inspiring.  There's still this psychological barrier to entry for me, but I guess you never know til you try. "

alright so theres some misunderstandings going on haha

So, I'm not very good at all. In fact I never finished my 50 practice matches, but I'd like to play. I've been living vicariously through GSL for far too long. It's time to try and play. I hope.

I'm king of the bronze league (0 wins so far) so I'm down.

I had to miss the last community tournament but I would be interested in this too.

You wouldnt be the only one duder haha, Its actually insane how many people just watch starcraft and have never actually played it consistently if at all.

And again, The purpose of this isnt to boost egos or say who is the best silver player or whatever, its just to get better, or just to have fun, I just had the idea to have special rules, Day9 style, idk, like i said, work in progress haha.

Bronze is hard, people are so unpredictable. They refuse to expan till their main is dry. I once got a base up at 8 minute, he had none at 20... yet I'm in the same league.

I beat a platinum league player while I was in bronze league(now in Silver). In the very first match of my first GB tournament. So my advice is just try and don't be intimidated plus the more lower league players the better chance you will play some one at your level.

I also missed the last tournament. I am extremely interested in this as I'm a complete newbie!!!!

If this tournament isn't at 5am my time like the other ones, I'm definitely interested. XD

This seems like it would be fun currently I am unranked but  I am sure I am worses than  bronze.

I'm gold on EU but plat on NA... does that count?

Even platinum is overrated- I'm matched up with them fairly regularly even though I'm silver.

I would be interested in it. I am high silver...and can't dodge it. But yeah, up to gold your mechanical understanding of the game is still pretty entry level. When you hit plat all the players change and you see a large difference in everything.

@baldgye: So are you Gold on EU because of a higher skill pool, or just less devoted time? Btw, you have no idea surprised I was to see a protoss wall up with cannons in his main, which has long signaled in my brain "yay! instant win!" and discover he was platinum. I hope he was just bored >.>

nahhh not really... there is very little difference between plat and gold leagues

Sounds fun. As a mediocre Silver Zerg, I'm interested.

Hey, do we wanna let this sit or actually start something? How bout Sunday at 7pm CST we meet at the Giant Bomb channel in SC2? 
 
Good day, bad day, eh, eh?

You can enter this tournament. 
Right now it will be for low level players because not a lot of people know about it.
