Tournoi de France i2e2 - October 1999
This was a 60 player live tournament held in France. Famous players
X'Ds~Grrrr... and Thor flew from Canada to attend the tournament.
They found the local players to be quite challenging competitively.
It was arranged that if Grrrr won the event he were to receive no
prize-money but his trip there would be sponsored by the organizers(ParK
Age).

KBK Masters 2000 Brood War Tournament
The KBK Masters 2000 Brood War Tournament is the mother of all starcraft
tournaments. This is the first time that so many starcraft players from
all around world will compete in a single live tournament for a share of
so much prize money. It's also the first time a tournament operator has
offered to pay for the airfares of contestants who qualify online within
the top 32 so that they can attend the live phase of the tournament.
Anyone with brood war and an internet connection is eligible to qualify
for the live tournament finals in Korea scheduled for January the 23rd.
Players can register here for the KBK ladder (costs US$10). Once
registered, just like the regular Brood War Battle.net ladder, every time
you play starcraft online you'll have the added excitement of knowing that
if you can qualify within the top 128, you'll be invited to compete in the
live finals in late January. Even if you're not sure if you have what it
takes to be among the starcraft elite, there is no better way to improve
your starcraft skills than to register for the KBK and compete among the
world's best starcraft players. The prize distribution in US dollars for
the 1v1 section of the KBK Masters 2000 Brood War Tournament is
approximately as follows:
1st: $8,748.91
2nd: $2,624.67
3rd: $874.89
4th-8th: $262.47
9th-16th: $87.49

- The "Starcraft Masters 2000" included over 49,000 single players, over
980 groups, and the first world women single competition with players over
1,200. These facts made the world eyes gather to Intercontinental Hotel,
Seoul to check who is the best in Starcraft.

EDIT: Fixed some typos, added flags on WiLLEt and WhiZ, added Mr.X into top 8 KBK#1, also clarified who was playing which race in ChobO vs Slayer from the Paris tournament. Putting a "not confirmed" on Mr.X in top8 as the original news from SC.org states that he only got into RO16.

Awesome job this research ! Good to see some of the old legends. TheMarine was the "great" terran before Boxer became big, and I always considered [GG99]Slayer to be one of the most solid terran players around (even though he was random I think) - don't know why he "retired" relatively fast. Also gotta love NTT
