KASL Registration Closes – Tournament Begins May 12th

@Editor: As long as I know it is YOUR account, you could use it from any server.

I’ll send out another email to inform the people who registered (if they haven’t).

If possible can I be seeded from my EU account? Currently playing Terran on my NA account.

KASL Registration Closes – Tournament Begins May 10th

The KASL Tournament will begin Friday, May 10th. We will begin with group divisions, also known as round-robin, which will last 3 weeks. After group divions are completed we will then step into playoffs.

With the KASL registration closing tonight, the first thing that must be done is confirming all particpants in the tournament. We have roughly 20 people who have signed up and it is extremely important that I recieve contact from those people. To make this easy, I have created a battle.net group on the NA server titled “KASL Tournament” that everyone who signed up is requird to join. Joining this group will not only indicate that you are qualified to participate but that you also have access to a NA account. If you do not join this group by the time the tournament starts than you will be disqualified to enter.

Reminder that this group is for participants who signed up ONLY. Here are further instructions if you need any help finding the KASL Tournament group on Battle.net.

New Maps for Season 3

Anyways – are those even balanced ?

For example – that “choke’, well not even choke, but rather like a BRIDGE on Klontas is super OP against Zerg and good for Protoss.. Well maybe Vipers would be good to go, after all they’re the Zerg “choke breakers”, but still.. W.T.F.

The good thing however is that everyone will be able to test out the REAL RACIAL BALANCE (and by REAL I mean on MAP UNDEPENDENT) in the game.. Right now it seems like a LOT BETTER than it was in WoL though.. Still – that map looks more like a D3 cave than a SC map TBH..

But yah – for better info on the other maps – source link needed..

[KASL3] Signups

This will mark the third King of the Armory Star League tournament. This will be our first Heart of the Swarm tournament to see who is in fact that King of the Armory.

What’s at stake?
Pretty much your e-peen on the armory.

Who can join?
Any armory member who has access to an NA account can join the tournament.

When will the league start?
TBA: Registration closes 11:59PM on May 3rd.

How to sign up?
Post your:
Battle.net ID – Character.code
Race
-No race-picking so you have to stick to same race throughout the whole tournament

Also note that I will be making a post closer to the end of signups telling everyone to pm me confirming that you want to join. If you do not do this you will not be in the tournament

You may not send a conformation pm before I post. The purpose of this is to prevent people from blindly joining and then forgetting about the tournament the next day.

Tournament Information
The tournament will consist of qualifying and championship brackets. A to be determined amount of players that ranked high last season will be directly seeded into the championship bracket assuming high placing players last season sign up again this season. The number of seeded players will be based off of the number of players that join the tournament. The more that join the more players will be seeded. To enhance the tournament experience for players of lesser skill level, and to give them more play time, the player that do not qualify for the championship bracket will be seeded into a losers bracket to continue fighting.

Much more specific information on the tournament format will be released after signups are complete.

Maps
There will be 5 maps total in the tournament. Each week a tournament admin will choose a map to be played for the first game. The loser will then choose the next map until the Bo3 is completed.

Current Map Pool:


Participants to Qualify

Terran:
GearvOsh.896

Protoss:
Stebo.627
Gemini.716

Zerg:
Remnant.461
Stroid.732
