I really wish this was publicised better, then I could have played in the online tourny, I'm still considering going, because I really want more LAN events in this country, but I'm not living in London right now, its quite some distance to go purely to watch other people play

Yep,indeed.

I won my game 2-0 where i am able to report?

If you read the email you received from Gamerbase it states that you are to email them the results with the replays attached.

Many thanks to all the players who have taken part so far, we're practically down to our final 32 now (just 1 more match to go) so congratulations to those who have progressed to the live final!

I'll be sending out an email in the next few with some more details to how the finals will run, times to arrive, equiptment specs etc - so keep an eye out for that

My apologies to those who missed the announcement for this tournament. In all honesty, we're new to the SC/SC2 communities and don't really know how to let people know, an obvious choice is team liquid as its by far the best community i've found - and I lurk on these forums daily. So hopefully next time we can spread the word a little further and work something out to get it featured on here, because we'll be running a host of similar events/series in the near future

Woot! Really looking forward to the finals now! Apollo handling the stream will be epic - and some really REALLY good players have qualified! There will be spectators allowed for those who want to come down, we'll get some tv's rigged up etc for the crowd - hopefully we don't have the HuK vs IdrA situation with 'MOTHERSHIP MOTHERSHIP ... ' - although that would be cool ^_^

So all in all, bare with us - we're new to this but we're commited, any feedback advice will definately be taken on board, the map pool will reflect the new ladder maps for the finals so don't worry about that, but let us know

Darn, I would go to spectate but alas I'm going to London the next day and can't really afford two trips. I'm only in Essex but I'll be spending alot of money the next day.

You could have online qualifiers then regional minitournaments at each of the other gamerbase places, then the top X from each region go to london for the final round of 32 or whatever.

Have you got a time-frame for Friday yet? Like, expected start time, finals start time and so on. I'd like to go to meet some players, grab some food or something but there's nothing about when it'll start. I have to work at an awkward time so I'd like to know if it's worth going before or after work.

This is cool, I would like to know the start time too since I work nearby. I would have liked to have entered but
1. I just read about this.
2. I'm nowhere near good enough (a lowly Silver league player)

I thought I would be way better by now, but unfortunately I'm still swimming with the other bottom feeders T.T

just to update, I'm just waiting on a few more details for the finals - I'd expect a time frame of around 2pm - 8pm, there will be quite a bit of other activity at our gamerbase in the trocadero on that day, with our brand new spec PC's, and displays from Scan, Western Digital and dennis publishing - it will be an awesome day

I'll be coming down from Manchester on the day to run things, and probably heading out for food/bars afterwards for those in London for the evening

Hopefully have all the details ironed out for tomorrow, hopefully the gap between the qualifiers and the finals is enough for people to make suitable travel arrangements - that was the intention anyway. With this being our first SC2 event, we've still got lots to learn

Yeah the timeframe is brill, not too long but long enough to order cheap train tickets and book it off work ^_^

Whats happening about computers? Do we get guest pass or...?

Also a few housemates of mine might be coming down, they live for casual games

they won't need to book computers out right?

Other then midian, I didn't even know people in the UK played sc or sc2, almost every other european country has had a league, team, or tournament I've followed yet the UK was always conspicuously absent. It's nice to see that sc2 is somewhat organized in the uk and not merely a fringe activity for a handful of die hard fans.

The British are invading!
