1. Nvidia GTX 580 + kit 3D Vision 2. Nvidia GTX 460 3. Game pack Metro 2033 y HAWX The other is by Invitation (I just got my invitation a few days ago)... organized by GameGune, 64 players and the prices are going to be: 1º 10.000 USD 2º 5.000 USD 3º 2.500 USD 4º 1.250 USD But it's not clear... not confirmed... and I'm afraid it's going to be a mess. Which is a shame considering the prize pool. Anyway... I knew about TT1 and Fenix comming... I don't think they will have much problem taking the tourney, since most of the players are casuals (like myself) and play mostly on LA servers. I love the idea of having a nice tourney in my country, since nobody really cares about eSports here and just a few ppl know about this event... I really really hope something good could result from this, but promotion has been awful, communication with players was limited to "yes, you are going to play"... no rules, no brackets, no public player list, no communication at all with media. Oh well... it's going to be nice to meet TT1... hope to see some of you there. | ||

Here you can see some videos from last year: http://www.sk-gaming.com/content/26148-More_SKali_GameGune_videos And it seems nobody is complaining about it, so I think GameGune is reliable. | ||

Are you high?... I don't know if I should feel offended... indeed I didn't even understand that... No, seriously, are you high? On a side note... I was expecting to see more people from USA/CA since the trip to Mexico City is not that expensive and the prize pool is nice, and not really hard to take out (no EU, no KR). Indeed I've been told... that it seems there is not enough people to fill the 64 slots for the tourney. So, you still have time to come. It's gonna be fun anyway. | ||

A question to Mexican TL community: was this well reported in the LA scene, it seems like this kind of prize money should have been enough to get South America's best to come up and play. Not to mention that from the list TT1 posted I don't even recognize old Mexican BW names. Like, isn't BroL playing? and what about that guy that went to the Blizzard invitational in Brazil? The only guy i recognize besides Jian and Payam is Warlinker from Guatemala. | ||

NO ANNOUNCEMENT and bad advertisement = bad Huge prize, nice city and great location going to waste imo. TT1/Fenix are fighting for who gets richer. Shame too cause it could spurn future tourneys of this magnitude in mexico. Have no idea what they were thinking not making this much more publicly known // having this held at a time that isn't at the end of the year (December is uniquely bad). | ||

The organizers probably didn't want to burn any extra money at unnoticed advertisement. I also wouldn't count it as a free win for TT1 or Fenix just yet, for that same reason. Players in Mexico are not likely to travel and compete to competitions like MLG or DreamHack/GSL across the globe, but that doesn't mean they're automatically bad. | ||

Have no idea what they were thinking not making this much more publicly known // having this held at a time that isn't at the end of the year (December is uniquely bad). Well almost every event on Mexico for gaming never gets any exposure... lmao i found out about wcg 2010 2 days after it hapend because someone put the results hir on TL.net.... Yes the price are nice and it would be awesome to have you guys come(even to i can't make it there im still pretty far...) Its will take some time for the gaming to grow in mexico ppl still thinks games are for kids(i mean my mother stills tells me when im going to spend my time in something better(im 21....) ppl just don't see gaming as something good... ad stupid news about kids killing and dying because of the games...(pisses me of how ppl can buy everthing the stupid news say). I hope you guys have a really good experience, by the way i know a couple of the guys you will be playing against(TheBeto) i used to play vs this guy in SC:BW he was as bad as me(D+ to C- Iccup) and i don't really think he has improve that much on sc2... so i think it would be a super upset if you guys don't take 1 and 2 places. | ||

Everyone in sc2 improved, its just the way you play it. Nothing is wrote yet, anything can happen i'll recommend to TT1 and Fenix, do not understimate your opponents they can always come with something unexpected. | ||

The only guy i recognize besides Jian and Payam is Warlinker from Guatemala. No, it wasn't well reported here... really few knew about this, and just got some mentions on LA forums and fan sites. But not promotion at all, and even their website is wrong... is not an Open Tournament... you had to send them your profile in order to get an invitation (to pay your $45usd inscription ). The guy playing in Brasil (ChavoDelOcho) is going to be there too. | ||

I don't think they are going to announce the results of first 2 days. I heard there were some forfeits yesterday. Probably some got scared or were afraid to pay the $45usd ($500 pesos) if they don't have any chance to win... don't know... I'm really happy I'll play TTone (i'm gonna be his first match)... he's going to destroy me badly... but it will be fun... I'll enjoy it The event (Aldea Digital) looks awesome... the complex is really nice, you have a nice view of the Hippodrome behind it.... GameGune both is cute, and it seems everything is well organized (so far... remember I just got here). I'm gonna take some pictures/videos... will try to post them later. Btw, we'll play in NA servers, not LA. | ||
