We want to do something fun for players of all skill levels. So, we’re going to try out something I like to call “grudge matches”. A grudge match will be played at the beginning of the day on Saturday and Sunday, and the players will be chosen by players who have the best trash talk in the MWC2 Team Liquid thread after they are knocked out.



So, if a player gets knocked out on Friday or Saturday, they can come in to this thread and trash talk their opponent. Maybe they got cheesed, they were distracted by their cat being on fire, any sort of silly excuses. This is your chance to lay it on the table and get some revenge on the person who knocked you out of the tournament.



One hour after the broadcast finishes on Friday and Saturday, we will go through the TL thread and see who has the best trash talk, and then set up a best of 1 match to begin the broadcast the next day, with the winner walking away with their pride and a nice little prize of $10. We’re hoping this will give players that get knocked out a fun way to extend their tournament experience, and just generally have a good time!





All players must live in the Midwest. To verify this, you’ll need to get a picture of your driver’s license (or other government-issued photo ID) and black out the personal information except for your picture, first name, and state. Then include that picture in your registration form. For an example of a good picture that proves residency, check out my lovely mugshot:
