OwnedCore Starcraft 2 Bronze to Gold Starcraft 2 Tournament!

[JD]

So it's February, and you're probably pretty bored with your life. After all, living in the first world is pretty dull. There's no drone strikes, the constant threat of assault by insurgents, or the risk of being crushed by a giant robot as it walks through your neighborhood. If you're with the rest of us schmucks in the United States, Oceania, or Europe, and you're looking for some mid-winter fun, join Ownedcore for our gigantic Starcraft II tournament bash! You could win big! Do you hear that roaring of the crowd and booth babes massaging your feet tenderly while News Chief Jeremiah drapes around you a countless number of blue medals for your hard-fought victories on the field of battle? Yes, it could be your future. Seriously.

Stay tuned for more news on Ownedcore's official Starcraft II tournament, and rev up those friers, because we're ready for some serious competition. We'll kick it off with a tournament for bronze to gold league players. JD will update us with some shoutcasts on most of the games, streaming live for your entertainment.

Just to answer some questions:

Will JD enter?
No, I will not enter. I'll be casting and streaming some of the games
Will staff be allowed to enter?
Yes! Everyone who is Bronze, Silver or Gold league will be able to join
Can we beat staff?
If you're good enough, absolutely. I would love to see some greenies get destroyed!
Can we use hacks?
Absolutely not. This is an honest tournament
Will there be a tournament for Platinum - Masters players too?
Right now, we're doing this tournament first to see if we have the skills/resources to organize a tournament like this. If it's fun and it all works out, we'll definitely do another tournament for the more skilled players.

Signed up. This is gonna be fun to participate in and follow!

[Vaskebjørnen]

Could be fun to try! Would need to play some matches again to get the feeling, since I haven't played for like a year or so.

[Nyarly]

Oh that's weird, i wanted to do this too xD

I now hope i won't be placed platinum next season or i won't be able to participate ...


So how will it work ? Will it be on EU/US/SEA or all of them ?

I'm signing in but if it's on US/SEA servers i won't be able to compete :/


Anyway, wonderful news here, i'm really eager to start this !

[Maisteri]

24.2 - 26.2 could be a nice date.

[Linken91]

Sounds like fun! I signed up! ^^

[EcHoEs]

Yeah when is it gonna be? I'm gonna sign up anyway, see if I can make it..
Gotta start playing again.. havent even touched starcraft in last 3-4 months lol

[JD]

We currently have 12 signups and I'll start picking/suggesting dates when we have at least 16

Gotta start playing again.. havent even touched starcraft in last 3-4 months lol

Yeah, exactly!

That's the point, for those who loves starcraft2 but don't play because of the ladder fear (Could ladder fear be hurting Starcraft 2?), or because they're watching way too much streams, or because they don't have time/buddies to play with, it's a good motivation to start playing again

Exactly, I'm so afraid of being superbad that I stopped playing ladder..

[Elitetech]

I'm gold right now, but I'm practicing alot. If I get promoted to Platinum, am I then disqualified from this tournie?

[Remus3]

@ Elitetech, it's still being discussed. That's all i can really say... these things are not yet cemented in.

On the flip side - if they do become so; I can say that there at least will be something to make up for it for the members who had to miss out.(assuming nothing gets changed from this thread piece.)

a grain of salt

[bu_ba_911]

bah haven't played starcraft in a long time lol........ was borderline masters when i quit... now im probably plat level XD

wish i could sign up tho, fun game

*edit*

is it cheating to bomb my placement matches to appear under platinum?

[eSko]

hah I guess I'll give it a shot without any training, since Remus is playing on my account nowadays

whatever.. I'll beat each of you without any training cause I am awesome
