They should make it so the top 8 players get to be in a poker tourney with each other... playing poker to actually qualify is kinda stupid if that is the case o_0

It's not the only method of qualification Fa1nT, it's just another type - if they're good enough to qualify they will make the top 16 anyway. PokerIdol run poker only tournaments everyday for thousands of dollars, this is an idea to provide some crossover from the communities

Will you be allowing external sites to do coverage? If so who would i get in contact to discuss the matter further?

Yay, see everyone there again

Hope I'm gonna qualify.

If not, is it possible to come as a "reserve" player again :D?

Maybe cheques? Bearer bonds? :D In any case, Id first concern myself with winning and only then cashing in. Shouldnt be too difficult to make a UK bank account, especially if your a citizen of a EU country.

Also, get someone to cover it, if there is no one yet. dApollo maybe? Possibly demuslim.

Also how is the 250 being paid for winners of poker? Is it being paid on the day, otherwise people may just enter take the 250 and not attempt to come play. Just a thought

If you qualify through both methods, we'll award you a place from the pokeridol qualifier with the expenses allowance, and give a 2nd chance to your Ro32 opponent

Woot!

Just had confirmation that we can open up the payments to EU bank accounts now. Hopefully this will help with any prize money issues

The rules have been amended to suit.

"We will also be inviting 8 special guests from our previous tournaments and the community to attend." Does this mean the top 8 from the first LAN will get direct invites to this LAN?

what happens if the 16 players who qualify on the online event decide not to attend the london finals, similar to the i41?

Can anyone help me signing up to the Free-roll poker qualification tournaments? I've created an account at pokeridol.com but when I'm clicking the "read more" button about that tournament on the page, there is just a pop up opening with "Starcraft 2" or smth as headline but no way to sign up or anything. So please tell me how to sign up for those poker tourneys
