Shanghai Weituo is hosting a Starcraft tournament similar to the ones we've seen in the past (coverage here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/bw-tournaments/436423-china-bw-starcraft-asia-open).
Part one of the tournament completed yesterday, which was a Chinese open bracket, from which ten players advanced to the final main event.
The Korean online tournament has eight Korean BJs participating, of which, two will advance and join the ten qualified Chinese players in the offline main event to be held in Shanghai (I think).
Players
The eight participating players are (subject to change depending on player availability):
 Mind
 Guemchi
Shuttle
 Larva
Snow
Modesty
Pure
Jaehoon
The players are to be divided into two groups:
Group A:
Mind
Guemchi
Shuttle
Larva
Group B:
Snow
Modesty
Pure
Jaehoon
The players will then play the standard double elimination, where each match is BO3. Four plays will advance from each group, to play in the BO5 semifinals and then the BO7 final.
Top two players will advance to the next round, with the winner receiving 5000 RMB (US$800) cash prize.
Schedule:
May 23rd 20:00 KST: Group A
May 24th 20:00 KST: Group B
May 30th 20:00 KST: Semi Finals
May 31st 20:00 KST: Final
Results:

No. Hopefully there will be a restream on twitch
You should at least be able to watch the fpv of the players on snipes.

According to the SCNTV, the Korean players are practising very hard for these games. Might get some nice games on their stream even before the matches.

I'm pretty sure they won't be bringing their streaming setup to China ~_~

unless someone restreams you wont get to see these, and i find access to the SCNTV sites are very laggy. Be sure to include links/reps if available

This is an online tournament. Only the winners will move onto the next round, which is not happening for a month.

Yeah that's why I gave up pretty quickly and also appreciate a lot what you are doing. Pretty much no one knows what's going on except the few organizers and the only way to get accurate and reliable information is to ask them directly on QQ.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the only real organization in China that is open about streaming their content to the west with no strings attached would be NeoTV. I've exhausted every method at my disposal to try to access bigger leagues with just observer positions and they all say no.

Let sAviOr play so he can win the tournament and see all ppl raging about it 
Aside of that, it's always good to have new ex pro tournament.
