The StarCraft II thread

And frequently!

Edit: Closed it off at 10 (sans tans), and seeded them according to league placement and then 1v1 points scored. Of course, only 5 of the 10 had points to begin with, so we randomly seeded the rest 6-10. We split the seeds across both groups close to evenly.

Group One:
Seed 1 SaintKerrigan (Z)
Seed 4 Fate (?)
Seed 5 Flameaxe (P)
Seed 8 JDodge (R)
Seed 9 UA (T)

Group Two:
Seed 2 Marksman (My roommate, by the way. Playercode 977) (Z)
Seed 3 Claus (T?)
Seed 6 Zito (T)
Seed 7 Quag (P)
Seed 10 PEG (P)

You play each person in your group once, report it here I guess. Spectators are totally cool, refs aren't (obviously, don't want any talkie talkie from a third-party). We can call this the official starting point, unless someone has any pressing issues with the format or whatever. Speak up if you do, no harm done really. We won't have any set deadlines or schedules for completing games, but be reasonable. Map rules are on the last page, any suggestions on how to determine which map for the group stage matches would be cool. Top two advance to the knockout stage, 1st place group 1 vs 2nd place group 2, 1st place group 2 vs. 2nd place group one. In theory, we should all have one race we stick to throughout, but I don't see a huge reason to be strict on that.

Are we allowed to suggest non-Blizzard melee maps?

If so, then iCCup God's Garden is a map I greatly enjoy playing on (plus I think it's better balanced than a good number of the Blizzard 2v2 maps).

A lot of the ICCup maps are beautifully designed and explore macro situations not often seen on blizzard's map pool - I strongly suggest++ practice on them once you are familiar with the ladder maps and fundamental mechanics. Valhalla and God's Garden are already being used in small cash tournaments on NA/EU/SEA servers

For the 2v2 tournament, I hope it doesn't matter that I'm terrible. Will the 1v1 games we play count against our ladder ranking?

Not the official Blizzard ladder, no.

[JDodge]

i will be playing as random for my flailing in this leaguetournament

[Flameaxe]

Edited the post above with seeding info and stuff. Regarding ICCup maps, we might want to hold off for the "BSL Season One" as I call it. (BSL = Bad (at) Starcraft League). A few new players would probably benefit from sticking to blizzard ladder maps to start.

[JDodge]

i'll be available most of the night, hit me up in-game or on AIM (ahallucinogenic)

[Quagmire]

Mark me as protoss. AIM is in signature.

[Claus]

I'm usually 24/7 on skype/gtalk (ccaranha for skype, caranha for gtalk), feel free to ping me to see if I'm available for playing. I don't really use AIM though, sorry.

Tomorrow I should be able to play 11AM-7PM GMT then 10PM-4AM GMT.

Yeah, I'll play with T

I would like to suggest a rule that disconnects before 5 minutes should be rematched. My network is VERY unreliable from time to time

[pickemgenius]

we should cast this.

[pickemgenius]

also i'm such a lonely asshat

[Flameaxe]

we should cast this.

Or you could get on and spectate...

Marksman def. Quag.

Flameaxe def. JDodge.

Updated tables for wins/losses here.

[TheButtonmen]

Soooooo many marines.

[JDodge]

Soooooo many marines.

replay? seems like one of those really fascinating if protracted games

[Fate]

Playing a few more games tonight, I don't think my Zerg is up to speed to /in as Random.

So I'll see if my Terran or Protoss is better.

If anyone's on feel free.

The table has been updated to show this.

[pickemgenius]

won't be available today; between checking tapes, and clearing shit up.

[SaintKerrigan]

I

might

be on late tonight, but failing that I should be on for late afternoon/evening tomorrow.

Edit: And I just realized that this league totally earned its name when I saw I was #1 Seed.

[Fate]

The plot thickens.

[SaintKerrigan]

You know, maybe we should make our own thread for this so we don't choke up other SC2 conversation.

[Flameaxe]

I meant to do that..I'll make one now.

[TheButtonmen]

Baneling Bombs gone wrong.

[Claus]

Something pretty similar happened in one of my BSL games
