I am just wondering, are there going to be any "big name" players attending? I didn't see any on the registration list, but I would love to be able to get stomped by ThisIsJimmy, or CatZ or something, i doubt any code S players will show up, but I know the code A ones will still roll me (and probably 95ish % of anyone that comes)

Without meaning to be too cryptic, I can tell you that there are a lot of people planning to come who haven't pre-registered. Some of them are "known" on the NA scene. It's not my business to share others business, so I'll leave it at that. Believe me when I say, there is no doubt that we're going to have some great talent at this event.

We picked up Bigfootnetworks as yet another sponsor for this event, and in addition, have added Tal'Darim Altar as the one "alternative" map. It will also serve as the RO32 starting map.

I have literally a closet full of goodies for giveaway, and its only getting more stacked. I will probably wait to post the pools for the smaller events until after pre-registration closes, and I have all the new sponsors' items in hand. From experience, I find it best not to promise items until they're in hand.

Don't forget to pre-reg by Feb 10 to lock your seat up, and look forward to seeing everyone there!

Hi as primarily a ladder player I have not gotten to practice on Tal'Darim Altar. Is there somewhere we can download it? I can't seem to find it online and would prefer to play on it before a tournament setting ><

If you just "create a custom game" on battle.net, then type "GSL" into the search box, you'll find all the GSL Maps including Tal'Darim Altar. Hope this helps!

*LARGE UPDATE*

I've updated the OP with a lot of information on the specific events, including minimum prize pools for each event. I've also resolved the issue with the age restriction on rooms. Please contact me via PM for details.
