SearchNo more ZOTAC Cups for StarCraft players
Posted by Patrik "Raistlin" Hellstrand 1 year ago
After 37 editions of the ZOTAC StarCraft Cup, we see an end to the weekly 100€ series.While the WarCraft 3 edition of the cups gather masses of the best players out there, the StarCraft cups very seldom reached over 40 players.
The last tournament, edition 37, saw Olf "CloseR" Schmidt defeat Seob Yoon "Yoon" Lee in the grand final. Only 31 players took part.
The ZOTAC administration received quite a lot of critique for not giving out prizes to people outside Europe.
ZOTAC page hint a comeback for StarCraft 2.

| How are we critiquing people giving out free money? Thanks for the wonderful tours! |
| To bad this tour never catched on, or got the coverage it deserved. 100€ / week is actually pretty much, it piles up. Hopefully SC2 can make tours like this more common. |
| Fuck Zotac |
| #2 ya, Warcraft 3 Zotac Cup has about 10 rounds or more oO And only Progamers play there, I tried it for myself. |
It's funny how Zotac Cups get more attention when being stopped than when they were actually going  |
| i always ask why there is no coverage on big sites like gosugamers ... it was rly a bad bad coverage so i surprised they did it so long ^^ never ever see even a painted table for all current winners like its often was for wc3 xD |
| I tried covering it but all the threads got like 1 reply so I stopped bothering - no one cares about it. Did they even stream the games or release replay packs? |
| #7 zotac admins used to give reps to raistlin in order to upload them there. |
| Scammers. |
| 37 editions ? ... i stopped following this after like ... 10 editions :P Starcraft 2 ZOTAC is gonna be interesting tho |
| Hoppadg tours were the best. Zotac was not bad too. But was not very good. Anyway big thx to Zotac admins for their events. |
#2 agree, maybe ppl were discouraged by gosus-only tour  |
| Zotac cup would of had alot more players but too many people complained about not being paid. Once 1 gosu players tells all his friends that zotac cup doesnt pay the winners, it leads to a snowball effect, and soon nobody wants anything to do with it, because it's a waste of time. If they would of properly paid all of the winners the rightful money they deserve, then maybe the attendance would of been alot higher, and people wouldnt be fearful of being scammed out of a few hours for nothing. |
| #13 exactly right - even if they intend to pay or just pay late it is not good enough because the rumours will still spread. |
