DATE: Sunday - May 1, 2016

TIME: 3 p.m. EST - 6 p.m. EST



CHANNEL ON NA SERVER BNET: AVILOKOTH



PRIZE POOL FORMAT: $10 per game win, $100 for 5 wins in a row ($50 bonus)



Prizes will be paid via paidpal, make sure you have a valid paypal! If you participate and win games the email to contact me for prizes is: aviloKOTH@hotmail.com



SIGN-UP/PARTICIPATION: There is no formal sign-up. Simply be on the NA Server in channel: AVILOKOTH and write a comment in the chat.



Also, leave a comment in this thread showing interest in playing to have a better chance to be picked as well! I will check the thread again on Sunday for players that have posted here.



You also have a better chance to play if you are of a different SC2 race than the current King. I want to avoid casting mirror match-ups as much as possible.



Otherwise, just be in the channel and be ready to play!



STREAM/CASTING:

I will be the bonjwa solo caster for this KOTH.



In the future i may invite guest casters to cast with me you never know ^_^ For now, this KOTH's purpose is threefold:



1) For me to showcase my casting skills, as well as improve them further

2) For me to give exposure to known and unknown NA players

3) To create some badass content for the SC2 community



*bonus* $$$$ NA players get some cash heuheu $$$$



REQUIREMENTS TO PARTICIPATE*:

To participate in this KOTH you must have a Masters/GM account on the NA server.



No barcode accounts will be allowed - you must have a main account that you play on.



You must be on the NA server in channel: AVILOKOTH



No smurfing is allowed. Be on your main account.



RULES*:



I will be in channel: AVILOKOTH. Everyone that wants to participate in this should be in this channel at all times. I will pick challengers from this channel to play against the current King of the Hill. Type in the chat if you want to play in this. Also leave a comment in this thread if you want to have a higher chance of playing!



I will then pick the next challenger to play. It will be somewhat arbitrary, I reserve the right to pick whoever the fuck i want to play against the current King.



If you are in the channel: AVILOKOTH early and type in the chat that you want to play, you will have a better chance of being next in line to play and be casted on stream. I will also try and avoid mirror match-ups as much as possible.



BM/Trashtalk in your game is ALLOWED. As a matter of fact, it is encouraged. A lot of the unknown players that I cast in this may not be that known...this is

a chance for you to show your skill/personality and become more known. Will you capture it? Mom's spaghetti.



Each player will only be allowed one attempt to beat the current King per night.



Each new challenger is allowed to choose a new map to be played on from the map pool provided in the map pool section below.



A player's goal will be to win 5 games in a row.

Each game a player wins will earn him $10.



If a player is able to win 5 games in a row they will earn $50 (5 wins) + $50 bonus. aka $100 for 5 wins



Winning 5 games in a row will also qualify you for a future AVILOKOTH that i run with players that have managed the same feat in past AVILOKOTH.



If a draw game occurs, the game will be replayed, same map.



If a player is purposely wasting my time/my tournament's time by extending a game via in-game mechanics such as building extractors all over the map, or floating buildings, i reserve the right to end the game and declare the other person the winner. This is of course assuming that player has already 100% lost the game and is just griefing.



Obviously, this is at my judgement/discretion, and requires common sense to judge an in-game situation like this. I doubt it will happen, but I made this rule just in case.



For this first AVILOKOTH, I am planning to run it from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday. At 6 p.m the games will end on whichever game is currently being finished. If a player manages to reach 4 wins at the 6 p.m. deadline I will give them an opportunity to win their 5th game



*these rules i will edit/update in the future and i'll do my best to be fair to players should any drama or rule infractions occur, etc.



tl:dr; of all of the above = it's a King of the Hill, goal to win 5 games in a row, win game = win money.



MAP POOL:

Below are the list of maps that challengers may choose to play on versus the King



CODA LE

MOONLIGHT MADNESS LE

OVERGROWTH LE

KING SEJONG STATION LE

DAYBREAK LE

AKILON WASTES LE

DUSK TOWERS LE

CLOUD KINGDOM LE

SHATTERED TEMPLE LE



Why are these the maps? Because all of the current ladder map pools are terrible for the game and more tournaments should be promoting better maps or more macro oriented maps for the health and longevity of SC2. If that means using a lot of the old school maps that were awesome, so be it. They should produce interesting and entertaining games with LOTV gameplay on them.



Proleague is also currently doing a similar thing, using old HOTS macro maps for proleague



Last Thoughts:

It will be my first time running something like this. Constructive feedback is appreciated before and after this event.



I am allotting 3 hrs for this first AVILOKOTH.



The prize pool for the initial AVILOKOTH is funded by myself. Depending on interest, how well it goes, etc. I will likely do some crowdsourcing for future prize pools.
