I just retweeted this tournament! Pretty sick prize pool again. I hosted the 1st Gamerbase tournament in London few months ago where Sjow took first place, this looks like the 2nd tournament :D:D

If you get knocked out in the online qualifier, is it okay to play in the poker tournaments to try and qualify? Or is it an either/or thing?

1.3 Only players from EU are allowed to participate as StarCraft II does not allow cross-server connection to US and ASIA Battle.net servers yet.

But does that mean only eu players, or only players with eu accounts. Not quite the same thing.
forgottendreams: One underage girl, two drunk guys, one gogo dancer and starcraft 2. Apparently just another day in Europe.

poker and SC2 is a nice duo tho, both about how you play your "cards/units"

defo will be trying hard for these qualifyers
Tyles.772 Bobstar.223 I'm just disappointed they overhyped an announcement which would obviously cause a lot of backlash in the TL community. Sure they acquired huk, but they didn't have to rub it in our faces.

They won't be changing it to British as they are planning SjoW to win the money.

32 man SC2 tournament with 8 spots filled by poker players is kind of ridiculous. There are better ways to combine poker with SC without hurting the competitiveness of the tournament. If you're claiming to be a European Championship (weird claim to begin with) you should really know better than to put 8 poker players into the bracket.

Note: This is just my personal view of things and not TL's stance on anything.

I appreciate the input Nazgul, I guess we're just trying something different, the actual intention is for players to play in both the online SC2 bracket and the poker events to see if they can grab one of the expenses paid slots qualifying from the poker tournaments, therefore introducing SC2 players into poker. The qualifiers from pokeridol aren't paid anything for winning, just a place in the finals with expenses paid, so I wouldn't assume that we putting '8 poker players into the bracket' at all, hopefully we'll pick up some talented SC2 players who play poker or vice versa

Also, unfortunately the way our prize distribution works, we can only award prize money to a UK bank account - many apologies to who this stops from taking part. In the last tournament we had a few players use friends in the UK to take the prize money and forward. I'm still trying to find a way around this - if theres a chance it can be done i'll let you know immediately.

It's open to anyone who can access a EU account, the only reason we exclude NA etc accounts is because they can't play against the rest of the competition. Obviously they have to be able to travel to London for the finals otherwise they're just wasting everyones time

And we would encourage everyone to try their hand on the pokeridol tournaments, anyone who qualifies through this will receive 250euros to cover expenses, and we'll give a second chance to their Ro32 opponent from the SC bracket

Our first tournament was a lot of fun, it was excellent to talk to the players and run the event so we're hoping to continue building up the prize pots and supporting the UK players to compete internationally.

Have the money go to you, and paypal it to the non UK players?

Will mean UK with bank/paypal or EU with paypal can participate...

Just a suggestion I dunno lol.

Pretty certain the prize money won't be an issue, I'm sure any of the trusted UK gamers/casters/staff will offer to help with transferring if you win via bank then via paypal or via international bank. Glad to see the tournament finally be announced smile Never heard of pokeridol before, but it looks a good site to play on
