awsome! good luck with this tournament, i'm sure it will be great!
|
Wow, this is pretty awesome .
|
I really like this idea, I'm excited to see the tournament. Even though I'm pretty low on the ladder I may enter the next US one just for kicks. Can't hurt right?
|
This is really awesome, never thought TL would have open tournaments like this (aka. non-TSLs) but I'm sure it will be a awesome event considering how good TL generally is with tournament hosting.
Also alot of love for altitude, its a awesome game and they sponsored a earlier event aswell!
|
Sounds great, should be instant e-fame to win 1 of these :D
|
Sweet I wish it didnt say "We may allow certain casters to cover earlier rounds." cuz that means there is a slight possibility they will not allow the games to be cast. Looking forward to yet another great TL event !!
|
cool. Love to see ESPORTS events happening
|
Altitude does it again <3
|
Pure awesome
|
Really, do give Altitude a chance if you haven't played it yet. Just like SC, it's easy to learn but hard to master. Games are pretty short so it's easy to play for 20 mins, unlike SC. Nimbly Games follows Blizzard's lead by giving the game a lot of long-term attention, with an eye toward balance (there was a balance patch just this past week).
Most important of all, it's a very fun game and supporting Nimbly helps keep tournaments like this coming.
