With the Gadget Show Live approaching rapidly, Heaven Media and Alienware had come up with another cooperation and another project that features a specific eSports title and a whole lot of cash to be won by the winners. StarCraft II is the game of choice and £5,000 the amount of money up for grabs.
With StarCraft II having appeared on the eSports scene about one year back, the game has rapidly taken its place in the international eSports platform and is a fan-favourite all over the globe by former players, new stars and even WarCraft III professionals.
Alienware and Esports Heaven are now working together to give 128 players the shot to appear on the Gadget Show Live StarCraft II tournament and a part of the £5,000 prize purse. So this online cup will act as a Qualifier and will have no prize purse of its own, only the TOP 4 of this online cup will be given a slot in the StarCraft II tournament there and will have to fight it out amongst themselves.
128 players can now sign up for the Qualifier, which will start on March 21st, 2011 at around 20h00 CET and will take up the entire evening to eventually dwindle the amount of players down to the necessary and qualified four. These four then have to arrange flights to Birmingham, United Kingdom themselves to attend the Gadget Show Live from April 16th, 2011 until April 17th, 2011.
More information can be found here.
*Updated for the 2nd qualifier on Thursday*

5000$ or £5000? 
This is what the UK / European scene needs a big fat juicy prize pool tournament!
I watch gadget show so this would be epic!!
Cheers for the info.

Great news, SC2 really does seem to be changing up a gear in the UK with more and more prizes and money up for grabs as time goes on.
|
Looking forward to this! I will be streaming the qualifiers on monday so be sure to add me ingame to get your matches streamed. (Vequeth.130)

Great to see more LANs popping up in and around the UK . Let's hope we can actually get a UK player to qualify now :D
|
Signing up as this seems fun. the gadget show prize pool is probably the best thing on TV. SO MANY PRIZES.
|
This makes me want to start improving my game so I can compete. There aren't enough good UK players.

Misunderstood, nvm this post.

Be sure to tell any good players you know about this, it was a bit last minute. Needs more signups!

I'm so happy to see an event like this taking place in Birmingham
I'm only silver league, so I'm not confident enough to sign up for the qualifiers, but I look forward to seeing the live event in Birmingham. I might even be able to persuade some of my non-SC-playing friends to come to the gadget show with me.
Edit: According to the Esports Heaven site, there'll be a second qualifier on Thursday.

This is why I love the gadget show ^^
