One quick question.
We have 2 different times posted. The 1 posted on this thread says 17:00 GMT+8 with checkings begining at 14:40 and on ESL it says 15:00. Do the games start from 3pm or 5pm? and if 5pm the check-in lasts 2hours?
Just clearing a few things up before I sign up because I got commitments Sunday arvo.

GO4SC2 Sunday Cup #1
Winner : FXOMoonglaDe
$75 US Dollars!
inFITarga was disconnected after completing Round 1 of his BO5 at GMT+8 2015 hrs. In an attempt to allow the disconnected player to connect back and continue the game, a grace period of 20 minutes was given to inFITarga. However, upon reaching the 20 minutes mark, there has been no attempt by the player inFITarga to connect back into Battle.Net. FXOMoonGlaDe was then awarded the walkover accordingly as his opponent had not came back upon the given grace period.
At 2100 Hrs, inFITarga connected back to Battle.Net, 45 minutes later since his disconnection and explained that he was then facing an network issue with his internet. The ESL Asia team is currently reviewing the decision to award him points accordingly based on his position in the whole cup, and would like to note that the decision to award the walkover is final after consulting his opponent, FXO-MoonglaDe, and also under the grace period issued by the ESL-Asia team that he has exceeded. The ESL-Asia team has also made attempts to contact his team members, who did not respond to the inquiries of the Admin team.

I'm completely expecting to see mOOnGLaDe dominate these cups. No offense to other SEA players but I really don't see any of them beating him in a best of series.
Go mOOnGLaDe! <3

Did mOOnGLaDe actually lose to pRoCobo or was it a w/o win? So weird that pRoCobo would be a no show in his next match after taking down glade.

Not too sure. I missed it as well. Turned to DreamHack and came back and the stream is now gone?
But since it's a Bo1, it is possible (plus, the map played is Neo Enigma which I don't even know what it looks like, lol). pRoCobo is not really a scrub, he's Malaysia's best player arguably. He plays Protoss and pretty much racked up all the Malaysian tournaments in the opening months of SCII.
|
I think cup #6 was TAdeth > aLtiaguz via W.O if anyone wants to update.
Also yes, cobo had to go, but wanted to play glade, so he won and then forfeited.

Due to the issue of some web administration problems on the generating of our Brackets, I would like to apologise sincerely for the delays caused to the players who has been waiting for quite a long time just to get their matches up, and would ensure that this issue does not repeat itself again.
I thank all the players who have been patient with us during the event itself, and hope you had an enjoyable time playing in this cup. If you have any complaints or issues that you would like to feedback regarding the event, please drop me a PM.
Special thanks to my admin team who has been around to support during the event, and we hope to constantly deliver more enjoyable and competitive gaming experience to all the gamers who have took part in this Cup.
