*8 players from UC Berkeley CSL team will be automatically seeded (decided by team manager)
*8 players from UC Davis CSL team will be automatically seeded (decided by team manager)
*8 players from Stanford CSL team will be automatically seeded (decided by team manager)
*8 spots are reserved to be filled at the discretion of the event manager

Our current prize pool (subject to change if we get more sponsors):
1st - Astro gaming headset + $250
2nd - $200
3rd - $100

$10 for most wins
$10 for longest streak
$10 for last king standing @ the end of the event

QUESTIONS
+ Show Spoiler +
I'm interested in doing some livecasting at your event. What should I do?
People interested in casting should send me a PM or an email at sc2berkeley@gmail.com. We currently have enough casters to handle the event but I'm sure they would appreciate rotating shifts so that they too may watch some of the games and relax (casting is hard work yo!!)
Just trying to figure out if the tournament will be spectator friendly (casting at the front with games projected on a screen, etc.), or if it's just going to be a bunch of players in a room full of computers.
The way we have the event set up, there will be 4 show rooms with a caster casting 4 different matches at once. (RO16 Group A, RO16 Group B, RO8) Semi-finals and finals will be moved to the main lecture hall room.
ALSO, we will be streaming on Justin.tv . RO64 and RO32 on Feb 19th-20th at 7pm and the main event on the 26th. Also check it out for our weekly CSL matches at 5pm PST.
Whats the tournament format? (in terms of games)
RO128, RO64 and RO32 will be BO3 with maps Xel'naga, Shakuras, and Metalopolis (in that order).
We are still finalizing the RO16 map pool/format but it will be single elimination BO3 until semi's.

Brackets are up! For the most part, the players are paired up at random, but I seperated the seeded players so that a) there would be no team kills and b)they won't face off until RO32 (the last qualifying match to determine top 16 players competing on the 26th)
