Blizzard about the IEM American Finals in New York: HERE :D
|
Um... Old news? Lol.
Still, awesome to see an SC2 tournament in NYC, hope there are many many more. Wish I could make it to this one. Curse work to hell.
|
It is not an old news that the group stage will take place this weekend and I added all videos, photos and news from the previous event 
|
Hope that there's an awesome turnout for the event. Biggest thing that sucks about piggy-backing with ComicCon/NYAF (WCG USA last year) is the cost of those events is ridiculous
|
I'm really excited for this. Can't wait to watch some of my favorite players.
|
why did you link day9 / dapollo casts ? are they casting IEM NA ?
|
Will the GSL time affect IEM NA??
|
So, what days is this actually going to be held in NYC? Is it going to be the entire weekend, or Just one day? I can't find any information on this anywhere. NYCCC doesn't have anything on their site about this and neither does ESL.

from http://www.esl-world.net/masters/news/133384/ :
"By the end of the weekend we will know the eight contestants which will be attending the Intel Extreme Masters American Championship held in New York, NY at the Jacob K. Javits Center from October 8th until October 10th. "

Haha, group C is all Terran, and group D is Artosis vs all Terrans...

The American Championship Finals will take place this weekend at Comicon and you can all watch everything on ESL TV or you can even come and visit our tournament area in New York! It would be really awesome to see you there but of course it is up to you whether you wanna watch from your comfy couch or not  - I have now updated this Newspost to give you way more information and the schedule for this weekend - I hope you enjoy!

I've been searching for hours on how to go watch the finals. I've called Javits and Comic Con, nobody has even heard of the tournament. All I can find out is that its 10/10/10 at Comic Con in New York which is at the Javits Center.....
...great game starts at 6:15 p.m. great.....comic con closes at 5. Where do I go to watch it?!?!
This is frustrating.

@ diejule
Thanks so much man, the Booth: 726 is what i needed to know. I saw the info on the comic con website but couldn't find what booth they were at.
Appriciate the help
where did you find the booth info? I even called Javits and Comic Con they had no idea.
|
I wonder why CauthonLuck dropped out. I actually have not seen him in any tournaments or replays lately. Is he still playing?
|
Source for Silver replacing CauthonLuck? PS I'm on the bus from Baltimore to NYC right now!
Edit: qxc just confirmed for me that Silver is indeed replacing CauthonLuck... PainUser was third in CauthonLuck's group though... they even had to play tie breakers...

I opened the list of exhibitors and looked for "I"
there I found "Intel Extreme Masters" and the booth number

Just looking at the recently released news post on slot allocations for the World Championships...
MorroW (1st GC Cologne)
4 slots Europe
2 slots Americas
5 slots Asia
Could IdrA try and qualify through the Asian qualifiers or does he have to be a citizen of an Asian country to be allowed?

So wait if I have this right this starts in 45 minutes?

payed for premium 2 min ago, then i try to get onto the premium stream; it says "error no premium" 
|
Yeah, at the tourney and spectators can NOT get in unless you have a pro badge or press badge. It's ridiculous. So till 1 I'm just standing here wishing I could see the tourney. Wish someone from any organization found this out ahead of time.
|
I came up to NY in time for this, and I'm about to head out to Comiccon to catch this live now =D Hope we make it in!

You can't until one, if you find a way in please post.
According to others coming out no matches have started yet. I hope they are like "where's the audience?"
|
Of course wifi here Is $30 for the day so I can't even watch the stream...
|
Why does HuK play Drewbie AGAIN, and Fenix play qxc AGAIN in the SemiFinals? Shouldn't 1st place in Group A play 2nd place in Group B? It's pretty stupid to have these guys play the guys they just beat in their own Group. I've never seen a tournament organized like this. What are you guys thinking?

Same here, and the octoshape versions say "stream not found". Now i don't want to ask a refund for 3.5€ but still it's unprofessional to sell a premium stream that doesn't exist or doesn't work properly. I opened a support ticket at ESL, they told me to
a) Refresh the webpage in my browser with ctrl+f5 which obviously didn't work
b) gave me the link to the octoshape premium stream which obviously didn't work
Basically i told them the premium stream isn't working for me and they gave me a link to the stream (wtf). I wonder if they even read support requests.

you got had. I can barely bring myself to try to watch the free stream. ESL has the worst layout, tech support, website, everything. don't give them money.

Fenix v Drewbie epic Game 2! Really cool to see these 2 styles battle each other.
