About this tournament series

The "Super-Noob Olympics" are our entry-level tournaments. First and foremost, they are meant to be a sparring floor for beginners. Map pools will be appropriate for the skill level e.g. usually avoiding 20x20 and high reclaim maps. As beginners tend to be less familiar even with the "classics", we try to release the map pool somewhat early in order to provide you with some time to practice.

About the Dojo tournaments

We alternatingly hold entry- and mid-level tournaments on a monthly basis, also alternating between 2v2 and 3v3. Usually, we run our events on the 4th Saturday of the month with 2 PM UTC being the kick-off time.

Current rotation:

• Average Joe 2v2 (u1650 individual, u3000 combined)
• Super-Noob 3v3 (u1250 individual, u3300 combined)
• Average Joe 3v3 (u1650 individual, u4500 combined)
• Super-Noob 2v2 (u1250 individual, u2200 combined)

On said tournaments page, you can also find the hall of fame and all previous results including replay IDs and lineups. If you want to research an opponent who took part in one of our previous events, you surely can.
