To be fair to everyone that was attempting to buy a pass, the last 15 passes were not added afterwards. The rest of these 15 passes are going to be sold tomorrow at 18:00 CDT (Wednesday) for $60. Nothing is changing with the tournament structure. | ||

Imagine too many people thinking like this and you have a horrible tournament with a lot of no-names and a few invites. I think you should listen to Fayth and add some kind of qualifier or invite procedure to weed out players like me  | ||

At the same time, i guess it's fun for locals to go play vs pros. I'm pretty sure that in 2011 they will increase the size of the tournament. Almost positive in fact. But I don't believe they will have qualifiers. It's their style to run an open LAN event where locals and no names can go to have their chance at the big time. And I think it's a good thing; give some randoms their chance at fifteen minutes of fame by knocking down a famous player to the loser bracket. | ||

Ridiculous... You'd think for the largest SC2 North American LAN and being officially endorsed by Blizzard, you'd open up more than 32 slots for the public. Why not make it at least 128 man tournament with seeds/qualifiers or something. Having tickets in-stock for 30 seconds tells me something needs to be restructed. I think they said something about having a Game Battles league and hopefully from there you could compete for spots at the tournament. | ||

I just wanted to post this here since this was a popular question for those needing to make travel arrangements to DC. StarCraft 2 will be played on Friday and Saturday in DC. There will not be play on Sunday. | ||

The welcome speech is at 5 PM EST, and the tournament starts around 5:30 PM EST. As for the exact StarCraft 2 schedule for DC, it has not been released yet. | ||

Although exact schedule hasn't been released yet, as Deimos said, if it is anything like last time, after games start at 5:30 on Friday, they continue pretty much nonstop until about 11 (if I recall correctly). It started up again around 10 am I think on Saturday morning, and the finals started around... 5:30 pm that night? Don't remember exactly, but it was around those times. | ||
