All Ireland (starcraft) Championship :D

UnholyGregor

Hey guys, I'm not to sure how to go about this, but is there any way we can organise an Irish tournament, as I'd love to get involved in proper competitive play, and i have a few friends who would be up for it.
If anyone has experience with this kind of thing, and is interested, let me know, and if your interested leave a reply, and maybe we can get things in motion, as i really haven't got a clue how to go about this

Were already running a boards star league. We are in week 4 of this now.

You're nearly better off hanging around the forums, keeping an eye on the progress of the BSL, check out the LAN idea - even better, GO to the LAN. Then you get to talk to people in person, etc.

If you don't know much about it in the first place, it's probably not going to go well. Try to get some experience. The reason I mention the above is that you can learn from errors made by others and take the good on board.

You could organise small tournaments between your friends to up the level of seriousness a little and put bragging rights on the line. You can make brackets at tourney.cc (groups, Single elim brackets, double elim brackets).

Once those are going smoothly, you could up the number of competitors...Slow and steady.

If you want any more info / want to bounce ideas, use this thread or PM me.

Not if I have my way I was almost GM Toss in WoL a month or so ago. My comp has been out of action for the past few weeks and I've gotten myself to Master's Zerg in HoTS on my laptop in the last two weeks (such an easy race if your mechanics are good haha). I gotta teach myself HoTS Toss once my comp is fixed.

I think hots toss is harder, my p v z is 90%+. p v t 90%+ and p v p 20%.... its actually kinda stupid atm

Can you elaborate? Your numbers seem extremely exaggerated, plus, they don't seem to corroborate with your statement of HoTS Toss being harder (which doesn't explain your apparent low win rate in PvP?).

Honestly down to earth there not, i've won one p v p and thats because I cheesed. ALl the other i've lost half to stupid micro mistakes in the final battles, being slightly behinde in upgrades, and half to unknown reasons.

My other two matches i'm fine against as I can deal with all the new units etc. Since i've only played maybe 30 ranked games in hots hense the ratios thats why they seem so stupid. But i've played diamond / plantium zerg / terran and im the same level but when it comes to p v p, I just outright lose due to something small and half the time stupid.

The P v P matchup I dont think reflects skill so much as a bit of dumb luck and just staying on one base and not expanding as when you do that you just seem to outright lose to timing

But this is entirely subjective. If you only win 20% of your PvPs, that means 80% of Tosses beat you. If more than half are beating you it follows that more than dumb luck is at play

if you look at the top gm toss , you cant say he has a 80% pvp win ratio based on luck , its like in late game WoL PvP everyone said it was random luck based collo vs collo battles then sktRain comes along and shows how to win with perfect positioning great spread and micro, just need to figure things out

I don't even need to reference players like Rain, though. The fact is, most toss are beating him, this is a problem with him, not the game.
