For those who may not have caught my article on MTGOAcademy.com, I'd like to introduce the Academy Showcase...
The Academy Showcase is our attempt to break away from the typical four round swiss events we're all too familiar with. Each month the Academy Showcase will be live streamed over on MTGO Academy’s Twitch page, but if you aren’t around to watch it, don’t worry! Even if I’m sitting there talking to myself, the main point is that the Academy Showcase will be recorded so you can check it out over on the MTGO Academy YouTube page. These will be small, exclusive events of varying format, which may just be something fun such as 8-man Pauper or a taste of a larger event coming up. If you’re looking for updates and announcements about the Academy Showcase for the month follow me on Twitter.
October:
When: October 13th @ 1 PM EST
What: 3v3 Pauper All-Kill For those who missed the announcement I will be running a small Pauper Team League that will be following an all-kill format. This is a game type that many fans of Starcraft 2 will be familiar with, but for those who need an example we're going to be running an example round. The general idea is that teams of three are playing a best of five matches where you start 1v1 and winner stays on until a team has won three matches.
Who: Event will be open for two teams of three. At this point I'm still in need of a few volunteers to participate who will be able to show up at 1 PM EST and stick around for the entire event.
Payout: The winning team will each receive 15 credits for the MTGOAcademy bots and the losing team will each be receiving 7 credits for the MTGOAcademy bots.
Where: Registration will take place in the room AcademyShowcase and games will be played in the Anything Goes room. Those not participating can watch games streamed live at the MTGOAcademy Twitch page.
When: November 10th. Registration for the first event begins at 10:30am EST until full. Registration for the second event begins at 3pm EST until full. Players who participated in the first event will be allowed to register for the second if it does not fill by 3:30pm EST.
Payout: The payout for each event will be as follows thanks to our sponsor MTGOAcademy... 1st - 6 tix 2nd - 4 tix 3rd - 2 tix 4th - 2 tix
Other:
No disrespectful behavior will be tolerated and may result in disqualification as well as banning from future events.
All matches should be set up as watchable, timers set for 25/30 minutes, and with the comment Academy Showcase.
All questions can be directed to me via Twitter @MTGOJustSin.
This month is again going to be Pauper because of demand, but we will be venturing into other formats in the future. All updates can be found here or via Twitter.
Who: This is a limited entrance event for only four players. While I do have some people already volunteering there is a chance I may need 1-2. If you have interest in joining you must have three different Pauper decks, the time available to complete the event, and can check with me in the room "AcademyShowcase" to see if there is a spot.
What: 1v1 Pauper All-Kill
Where: Registration and discussion will take place in the room AcademyShowcase and games will be played in the Anything Goes room. Those not participating can watch games streamed live at the MTGOAcademy Twitch page.
When: December 14th. Registration for the first event begins at 10:30am EST until full. Registration for the second event begins at 3pm EST until full. Players who participated in the first event will be allowed to register for the second if it does not fill by 3:30pm EST.
Payout: The payout for the event will be as follows thanks to our sponsor MTGOAcademy... 1st - 8 tix 2nd - 5 tix 3rd - 2 tix 4th - 2 tix Bonus: All-Kills Will Be Awarded with 2 tix
