Morning ya'll or whatever the time may be for you. As we now have 50 people on the alternates list we will be closing sign-ups entirely. Thank you to everyone that signed up. For those of you that won't be able to play, you should definitely look forward to the many VODs, replays, and casts! Replays alone are going to number in the hundreds for this tournament... So yeah, you'll have days worth of stuff to watch if you wanna see every match.

Stew, what's the situation with casting going to be? You posted you'd let us know what the casting situation would be back on page 3 or 4, many many days ago. I'm really interested to see if this is going to be more on the professional side of things, or if it's more of a thrown together thing that got bigger than imagined. Been excited to find out if the amazing Mr. Sean Plott might be commentating since he isn't participating. Tell us already! =p

I've done a few updates throughout the thread, but it's the same situation. We are waiting on streamers to get back from Devastation 2010 (a big fighting game event in Phoenix) before we do any sort of announcement as they have been extremely busy all weekend and were on the road for most of last week. I promised them I would wait until early this week (maybe tomorrow), when they got back home "back down to earth", before we ironed out the details.

Until then, I really don't' want to confirm a stream before I give them a chance to talk with me as they among a few others are the best in the "business".

Note: When we do the "official" stream announcement, it will include a definite answer on recorded, time delayed, or live casts.

EDIT: The invitation was given out to Day[9] but as he is extremely busy we have yet to receive a response from him. He is aware of the event though so we are awaiting a response from him whenever he gets time.
