Could someone please tell me how to add a countdown clock to the main post? And anything else I need to do to make this major-worthy?

edit: or maybe a kind admin could edit it in? I need to go to bed now :)

Thanks wn!

This is awesome! good luck!

So awsome, glhf and gogo MOA CUPZ

Amazing stuff! Good to see that Warsow is going strong in other regions appart from Europe aswell. Keep up the good work guys!

Will there be a stream for this tournament? I really would like to see how the AU/NZ players are doing in Warsow.

Yep, I'm just the messenger and I still don't have a link to give, but Haymo told me yesterday that there will be a stream. I'll add the link or at least a schedule (I don't think the early stages will be streamed) as soon as I can :)

will there be demos? VODs are good but I'm trying to learn more from the game. Does AUS have good players?

Nahhhh

Honestly I wouldn't expect a very high standard. A large number of players are completely new, coming mostly from QL. Then there are the people like me, who have a bit of Warsow experience but are bad anyway. Then there are a few good players, but I think all of them are rusty. Almost everyone either started in 1.0, or came back in 1.0 after a long break from playing seriously/at all.

I did just notice that nasa signed up, which is cool -- he's a really good Japanese player. He's probably out of practice too though.

As for demos, I will be autorecording my games, but I'm not sure about everyone else. I don't think there's a rule about it.

I don't mean to be too negative though -- there should still be some really good games between people like nasa, Haymo, Profanum, Dubious if he is who I think he is, jmfz and others.

I'll check it out then :)

Will there be a stream?

Yep, still waiting on Haymo for time and link, but he seemed definite that there would be one. Don't expect it right from the start though, probably just the later stages. (edit: stream from 00:00 CST)

Stream will cover the finals only, and begin 4 hours after the tournament start time (see main post) :)

I'll probably cast when I get knocked out ;')

It won't finish until about 04:30 CST (div1 finals begin at 03:30 CST), so if someone could change the "ends in" time, that'd be great!

Done

POV stream (no casting) from one of the Div1 players: http://twitch.tv/wofiel
Main stream will be up a bit later, to cover the div1 finals.

Someone tell me how I pass over this @ work

e: please

GGs to all the participants. Was a nice cup.

nasa showing off his skill and proving that 100 ping is still very playable in Warsow.

haymo putting up a very good fight, almost making it to 3rd map.

Up next is the Rickrollers Cup which will hopefully feature even more awesome matches.

Japan ftw

Thanks to everyone who tuned in! It was certainly fun to be a part of, and I hope it was worth watching.

Apologies for my role in the cast, I've never done it before but was asked to fill in at late notice, so I did my best!

You did all right, wasn't bad at all.

:)

Anyone link to some VODs of matches between the best of the best? No idea who that would be.

The finals

Look for the rest in Videos, next to info.

Or look at http://www.youtube.com/user/watchIIMTV/videos
The final is between Nasa and Haymo

Thanks I watched that. I mean the BEST in warsow period. Whoever that may be. For 100 pinger that nasa guy is pretty damn good.

It's hard to say who is best, so i'm gonna give you vids from top 5 atleast. As you can see they're a little old, so some things have changed since then.

Good players from EU:

KeRpaL (arguably the best right now)
dkw
Hyrveli
GoReY
Reload
Leshka
Cremator

Good players from other parts of the world (the ones I know):

Lo
nasa

Yeah, that list is better :)

Leshka, what?
Others are good though.

Leshka is/was coming in 2nd and 3rd during the whole 0.6 time.

I played a lot around 0.6, Leshka was no where near the rest of the people you listed, i guarantee that.

Ok agreed.

I've put them all up into a YouTube playlist so you can select your quality. I'm not a partner (yet) so you can't do that on Twitch.

The uncut footage will stay on Twitch (a little more info between games), but some minor delays. So too will my earlier POV/bad quality stuff should you wish to endure it.
