Note that Yayba recieved a walkover. Fenix was having internet issues and was forced to forfeit. DIMAGA was at a concert all week and had to forfeit in the first round also.

To celebrate the launch of Justin.tv's Gaming section, Justin.tv is sponsoring a tournament in conjunction with iCCup celebrities Brent and Kenny. The iCCup StarCraft Invitational brought to us by Justin.tv boasts an impressive $1250 in prize money and all of the biggest names in the foreign scene!

JustinTV Gaming will, over the next 5 weeks, bring you all the top foreign StarCraft action as the StarCraft players duke it out for the grand prize of $700 in what has been dubbed the 'JSI'. Each week, iCCup's own Brent and Kenny (of StarCraft with Brent and Kenny fame) will follow the tournament closely and bring you all the best footage, news and drama from the front lines, including highlights of each match.

As mentioned, Justin.TV's Gaming sub-site is providing this opportunity, and they appreciate the big gaming presence over at Justin.tv. If you have a gaming broadcast you'd like promoted by Justin.tv, you can follow this link.

Are you going to be releasing reps?

If not, are you going to be commentating all the games?

Cool of Justin.tv to do this, it's nice to see some 3rd party support of Starcraft.

Also something to note is that other sponsors working with the tournament may mean special prizes and perhaps even fan prizes to reward dedicated viewers, as mentioned on StarCraft with Brent and Kenny!

Not Starcraft related, but I met Justin when he was first doing his justin.tv thing. It's good to see that the venture was successful.

edit: more details

1) Idra goes for macro-based build that cuts corners with limited scouting and early game defence
2) Idra gets cheesed
3) Idra complains cheeser has no skill, etc.

This is the best time to have foreigner tournaments while all the Koreans are not busy.

The ideal time would have been a few weeks ago, when there was literally nothing going on Korean BW-wise. Now it's about to get real busy with the OSL, MST, and PL all starting in the next two weeks(although it's not as busy as when OSL Ro16/MSL Ro32 are going full force).
