Well I'd best heed the previous post here.
Basically I had a look at gamestahs previous starcraft 2 coverage, lacking to be honest. The guys are great and i understand that they have all the gear set up and ready to go, however they just have no knowledge of the sc2 game... I'd be happy to help out if possible. Obviously they are the ones with the hardware, just painful to watch them try to remember the map names.

I'd like to take the chance to revise the rules for the tournament, and format, etc.

- Single-elimination tournament in a best-of-three (BO3) format
- YOU MUST upload all replays HERE: http://www.cybergamer.com.au/upload/

- Unofficial casters and streamers are not permitted
- Do NOT leak replays, simply upload them to the link above, if your replays are discovered elsewhere you may be disqualified
- Registration is open to all Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asian participants ONLY - if you do not CURRENTLY live in this region you may not participate
- You must be ready to play your first game at the Start time. Not showing up or being later than 10 minutes will result in your forfeit
- If you lose today, you may enter the second, third or fourth qualifiers at a later date. See Cybergamer.com.au for information
- Keep chat to a minimum and please remain civil
- Top 2 from each of the 4 brackets will qualify for the 32-player finals
- After the top8 are decided, they will play off in a BO1 to determine who faces the fnaticMSI player in a showmatch. By qualifying the event you cannot deny this showmatch if you are chosen or risk disqualification

Thanks to all the admins, streamers and participants! Rough start when the bracket autoupdate didn't work but it was fixed in the end - next time should be a lot smoother.

Here are today's qualifiers, and I will post VOD links up in the future:
