All interested parties sign up here! We'll set up brackets and everything in a double elimination.
Winner gets bragging rights and perhaps something nice in the EfU world... ?

- Crytalos
- Stardog

Crytalos The Bronze noob!
Don't bother signing up, 'cause you all know that I'm gonna win. ;)
Oh really?
Date and time? Or are we just going to play whenever we catch each other on B.net?
HalflingPower will participate
I'm game.
Quote from: Caster13;329668Date and time? Or are we just going to play whenever we catch each other on B.net?
This will be set up once we have the participants!!!
We need a player subforum to manage this entire affair in my opinion.
I will return to EFU for this escapade.
I have edited the first post with the current interested parties.
SIGN UP! If you are in EfU and play SC2, there is NO EXCUSE not to be in this tournament!!!
I know we have more than 7!!!
What if you are really bad at Starcraft to the point where you are guaranteed to lose?
You'll have to figure out if keeping away to avoid losing is better than joining this tournament to have fun. It isn't ranked(battlenet-wise) and the only risk lies in teasing from others who make other hilarious mistakes themselves. All in good nature.
Up to you, always.
We all suck.
Except Caster.
Join us in the next free for all, those things can be hilarious fun and a great learning experience!
Hey Stardog. Remember when I crushed you, Wern, and everyone else in Wings of Liberty?
Pretty sure this time Caster's going to be the one who punches you harder than life already has.
Come at me, bro.
One more day to sign up, then I'm gonna start setting up the (small?) brackets!
It is sad that our Euro players are not representing! Paha and Gravenkiss, your leaving Talir and I, Hanging here!
Someone record the videos. I wanna watch, but I dont have time I learn to play again. It's been a looong time since my last SC romp.
Surprisingly doesnt take too long Ebok, a few games with the other EFU players and go over the replays together. It helped me alot more than just spamming game after game! So much so, that after 3 years I beat Talir!
Brackets are set up, after an abysmal showing of... SEVEN participants.
You guys are so disappointing!
In any case:
http://challonge.com/EfUHOTS1
Go there to see the brackets!
Games will be played in order from left to right. Double elimination, best of 3, then best of 5 in the semifinals and best of 7 in the finals.
First game is between Talir and HalflingPower!!!
Seems I'll need to brush up on my PvZ.
HalflingPower/Rill... you are up to the plate w/ Talir.
Where are you, goon?
Sorry, was away for a little tiny bit.
No problem.
How does tomorrow night GMT sound? Like... around midnight GMT.
Will that work for you, Talir?
Sounds good.
The first casts are up!!!
Brought to you by casters JaydeMoon and Sternhund, the first set of games from the first Annual Monthly EfU SC2 Champeenship Tourney:
EfU SC2: Talir vs Sunday G1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkJufl4KpMY)
AND
EfU SC2: Talir vs Sunday G2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OdSR3Xk0no)
AND
EfU SC2: Talir vs Sunday G3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)
And comments, likes, thumbs up, whatever, standard Youtube video stuff in the hopes that we're the next Husky Starcraft ;)
The first two matches were pretty good!
The third one...
:(
Chump ass character :o
Nice casting, still think you should cast game 3!
Can't wait to watch the next casts!
We need some artwork for the Youtube channel
Put on your artistic caps and follow these directions (http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=16630&ctx=topic&answer=2972003) and submit the art to:
efusc2@gmail.com
Something that combines the essence of EfU and SC2 would be wicked sweet.
It's a masterpiece.

It's supposed to be like... big. I tried to do a banner that size and it told me to f off.
Guys
Guys
Guys
Watch this:
Caster vs Sternhund G1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chW8aNvv-PQ)
And I'll post Games 2 and 3 later today!!!
Woo!
And here you go...
Caster vs Sternhund G2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KKL5KubF6w)
And finally:
Caster vs Sternhund G3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnqL3ho5LwY)
Amazing games!
For folks who play, dont be afraid to jump into the fun. We regularly play FFA and 1v1s to practice new builds and improve!
For those thinking about investing, id recommend it. A game can last anywhere from 10-45 mins so about the same as DOTA or LoL!
I suppose the Expansions are necessary to participate in the Tourney, but are they required for regular play?
By expansions, you mean Heart of the Swarm (which is the only expansion)?
I think you can join the tournament without Heart of the Swarm, I believe that HOTS owners will revert to WOL for such a game.
And you can play without the Expansion, for normal play or against other players who don't have HOTS.
I finally got to hear the voice of Jayde and Stern
Daemonic Daz must report in for his match before the end of this weekend, or he shall forfeit!
FOR THE SWARM!
I'm getting antsy here. Bring on the next games!
Daemonic Daz has opted out of the tournament. Showing that he is a good sport, VanillaPudding has offered to step into Daz's spot, even though he only just got the game and has yet to learn how to actually play.
Just so you guys can have something to watch.
Casts will be up soon.
Woo!
JaydeMoon v. VanillaPudding
Game 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j5zTDIcF6Y&feature=youtu.be)
Game 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGMIHBaX_us&feature=youtu.be)
Game 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN183rJltNM)
:X
I can see VP becoming a real threat when he learns the metagame!
So sorry I couldn't attend, unfortunately having to eat came above having to own.
My esteemed thanks to VP for stepping in.
SAH WEET!
EfUSC2: Caster vs VanillaPudding G1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoInuBwsJoo)
EfUSC2: Caster vs VanillaPudding G2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuVZ1Qa_oCM)
AND
EfUSC2: Caster vs VanillaPudding G3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mg-4c4uQmdo)
Thus ends round 1.
Round 2 kicks off soon with Crytalos vs HalflingPower.
In game two, I didn't realize VanillaPudding was zerg which was why I didn't wall off >_>
These are fun to watch.
>_>
I had to upgrade my computer to play SCII Heart of the Swarm, but I upgraded too far apparently, and I can no longer run NWN. I'll be around eventually for these types of things, even though I have no inkling of the metagame involved anymore.
HalflingPower & Crytalos... hurry up!
Tomorrow night its all arranged! About 24 hours and 20 mins from this post! Get your popcorn it should be more entertaining live!
It's finally here! JaydeMoon was out so these are casted by myself and the ever wonderful Caster.

Crytalos v. HalflingPower G2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpWXJrA8BvE)
Crytalos v. HalflingPower G3 (http://youtu.be/6QFwo57WKwg)
I made a mistake in the casts. Loser of these matches goes on to fight Caster!
I'm silly and G1 didn't fully upload so the last bit was cutoff. The link is updated, G1 should be situated in about an hour.
I hope to have HotS in a week, so watch out! :)

Also I didn't pick the third map!

I suck as a person and was unable to find enough free time to meet up with Caster for the Extended Finals. I'll be away for a few months, so I'm forfeiting. Since Caster won 5 out of the 7 total games we've played, I think it's safe to say he wins!
Perhaps we'll have an Extended Finals in a few months before we kick off a new season of EFUSC2, to wrap up loose ends? If not, congratulations to Caster! Unless JaydeMoon wants to change the operation, it looks like our winners are...!
1st Place: Caster (Protoss)
2nd Place: Sternhund (Zerg)
3rd Place: HalflingPower (Terran)
Whaaa? Should've told me you were going to do this! Would've set a solid time or something!
Great fun, I hope we have more people for the next one!
Hurray!
It was very fun to watch, keep practicing all of you!
Round 2?
