The Poll seems a bit redundant, people who are not interested simply won't enter the thread.

It will all be fun and games until you get raped by a korean.

[QUOTE=ColdFusion;23922385]It will all be fun and games until you get raped by a korean.[/QUOTE] Koreans can't join unfortunately, they aren't in the EU region =P

I'm interested.

50 bucks? Im in

What happens if it ends up NA vs EU? Can they play eachother?

I'm in!

[QUOTE=melonmonkey;23922963]What happens if it ends up NA vs EU? Can they play eachother?[/QUOTE] Yes. Guest passes and a spare account. The tournament will be seeded to minimize EU and NA play until the very end.

Yes

I'm in too ^^

I'm in! :buddy:

I would definitely join in if the time of the tournament fits into my schedule.

I'd be interested, probably wouldn't win but it'd be fun

[QUOTE=gparent;23922433]Koreans can't join unfortunately, they aren't in the EU region =P[/QUOTE] but i'm in the na region. too bad i'm not gonna join however, since this is a dumb idea, the other tournament sounds better.

Beardy just lacks skill, Im in! Lukepker (813) EU

Yup, I'm in, if I'm around when the tournament is on.

I'm in once I re-install SC2

Umm, how is this going to work cross-region? i dont quite understand battle.net to be honest.

[QUOTE=lukepker;23925297]Beardy just lacks skill, Im in! Lukepker (813) EU[/QUOTE] lmao don't be butthurt just because you got owned in the lol thread. [editline]12:06AM[/editline] [QUOTE=lukepker;23926979]Umm, how is this going to work cross-region? i dont quite understand battle.net to be honest.[/QUOTE] it's not, that's why i said it was a bad idea.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;23927020]lmao don't be butthurt just because you got owned in the lol thread. [editline]12:06AM[/editline] it's not, that's why i said it was a bad idea.[/QUOTE] Owned in the LoL thread...? wat Mate, go back to OIFY please.

[QUOTE=lukepker;23927035]Owned in the LoL thread...? wat Mate, go back to OIFY please.[/QUOTE] yea that's the reason you stopped shitposting in lol thread, get out.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;23927065]yea that's the reason you stopped shitposting in lol thread, get out.[/QUOTE] nein I have better things to do actually, how about you stop shitposting mate? keep it on-topic [QUOTE=gparent;23923055]Yes. Guest passes and a spare account. The tournament will be seeded to minimize EU and NA play until the very end.[/QUOTE] I suppose that could work, although there is ping advantages then, but im sure it wont be much.

well im in for eu if there are any spaces

[QUOTE=lukepker;23927086]nein I have better things to do actually, how about you stop shitposting mate? keep it on-topic I suppose that could work, although there is ping advantages then, but im sure it wont be much.[/QUOTE] lmao keep denying the fact that you got owned. "hi my name is lukepker i am better than all u.s. players get FUCKED" *leaves thread after getting owned* [editline]12:14AM[/editline] op, why not just keep this "tournament/competition" eu only, seeing as how the other one is na only.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;23927020]it's not, that's why i said it was a bad idea.[/QUOTE] I'm not sure why you think you know how it is gonna work, but I can assure you the tournament layout is made to accomodate both EU and NA players. The further from 1:1 ratio you get for NA / EU players, the harder it is to manage, sure, but my job is to make sure that doesn't happen. In a perfect world, there would be only a single EU / NA match (the finals).

[QUOTE=lukepker;23927373]I think your just jealous lol[/QUOTE] jealous that i'm not a huge pretentious asshole? jealous that i'm in platinum league? okay.
