Title: TonyG's Christmas Tournament
Post by: tonyG on November 21, 2020, 10:27:31 pm
Hello fellow SCW lovers. I'm thinking about hosting an 8 person (willing to make it 16 if enough gosu's are interested) tournament starting Nov27th.  Ill put $100 Canadian for the prize pool (also if anyone wants to donate I'll add it directly to the prize pool).

Intro Video And Predictions: https://youtu.be/LV79ZEGSf5E


Winner of tournament will not only receive over 100$, but the opportunity to faceoff for more $$ vs the legendary Brain.

I'll be casting all the games, I really enjoyed casting the last tournament and think it's much more exciting than just random series casts.

Thank you guys and love all my tonyG-Tards.

Why dont you make a second bracket consisting of players considered to be the best or past league winners but did not participate during the current season.Its just an idea im throwing out there.

Why dont you make it 2 brackets 1 bracket with current league leaders and second one with past winners and invited players?Winners of each bracket meets in the finals.

if 8 past season winners were interested that could be a possibility.

I'm not a super gosu but I can hold my own on occasion. Add me if you want. Gus, hus, evil, kon, j.h, dinko, defjam, monte, eufiserv, day, hardy, jose, brain, tyga should all be invited. Lets make this tournament beast and add in prize money. Maybe double elimination to see some legendary matches between some gosus? I can help you out to make some brackets?

Ah yes, I have missed a lot of gosus. I sent a PM to some of those guys, we'll see who responds before inviting more as I don't want more than 16. Do you got gosu Photoshop skills to make sexy brackets ?

Post by: Think-Fast on November 22, 2020, 03:33:54 pm
I dont haha but I do have a good understanding of each gamers play style and who should play who from the start so we don't have elimination of gamers that should make it to the semi finals lose out on round 1.

He's a buddy of J.H and they're in the same clan. I'll ask J.H if he's interested.

We all know turnaments take ages to finish , cuz people have not same hours and days to play each other. I think if you invite all battlenet good players , we could wait 2022 to finish it . Moreover it seems Koreans who play 10 hours per days are little unbalanced for the rest of the players. But i will respect your choise tonyg
Title: Re: TonyG's Christmas Tournament

I was thinking bo3 for round 1, bo5 round 2/3,  bo7 finals and bo9 vs brain. Nothing set in stone though until i get 16 confirmed players.

I dont mind if it goes into the new year since the holidays can be busy for people. I also dont mind if the games are played on your own time (as long as players are saving every replay and sending them to me).  I dont have to be there to stream every series, ill cast the replays like last tournament.

And if anyone can beat the OP koreans its you guys!

I think too that if the winner of the tournament decides not to show up for the finals brain should play the runner up or some thing like that. Would just hate to see a repeat scenario like the last tournament.

I'll pitch in 25 usd for prize money on the games for this tournament

i can also throw in $40 cad. that would bring the current potential prize to ~$300 cad including the people quoted and tony's initial $100 cad. we should do something like 70/30 or 60/40 split for tournament and match vs brain?

Yes I agree. The last TWO tournament of titans finals were ruined, it would be a bad look if it happened 3x in a row.

That would bring the prize pool to $175 for this tournament. 70/30 split sounds good for 1st and 2nd. Unless we want to make a prize for 3rd place and have the two SEMI finalist play for that as well? With all these gosu's it could be a good match.

Ill donate to the next SCW season 1v1 prize pool too. Operation keep starcraft alive.

I was thinking split with greater portion towards tournament winner and lesser to winner of match vs brain but the option you mentioned is good too. Gunner and Newbport also mentioned they'd be willing to donate. That would make the total prize ~$300.

I'll throw 100$ for Brain vs Tournament Winner Bo9.
If you guys were able to get brain to vs the winner I would throw down too!

He's been playing a bunch ye. He's smartened up his play and is scarier than ever. He did have a couple short breaks though. But I put him above J.H for sure.
