EPTATTENTION - because of some unforseen circumstances Darkforce cant play vs MorroW so MorroW gets a default win and is in the finals vs Beastyqt.
So because I promised 2 matches we will see 2 matches.
So we have a showmatch at 1st with Nerchio playing vs MorroW who will play as Terran !
Today at 18:00 GMT (+00:00) The 2nd Semi Final
MorroW vs DarKFoRcE and the winner of those two vs 
Beastyqt in the finals for a total prize money of 500$Brackets for the Main Event are up - This are the brackets for the Semis + FInals

Qualifier #2 Recap!+ Show Spoiler +
I, as the Organizer and basicly the one responsible for everything, wanna do small recap (again!):
1st of all, it was a SUCCESS(again)! WE had so many great players, even better games and we have a winner:Tarson ! GZGZGZ! He got the 50$ + a slot for the main event. For everyone who didn't see the finals I only can strongly recomment to se the finals: Game 1, Game 2, Game 3, Game 4, Game 5
So the current lineup for the Main Event will be:
White-Ra
Kas
DarKFoRcE
Nerchio
Tarson
So lets see what went wrong (and will NOT go wrong once again!) and of course what went really good.
So this time we wont see the The Angry Crystal Brigade, but its more like those people from 30 Rock (me being Jack Donaghy):
![[image loading]](http://static.tvfanatic.com/images/gallery/awesome-cast.jpg)
1.) Maps in the mappol: As it turns out there is no TSL Shattered Temple, so it has been replaced with the ESL Shattered Temple
2.) Xsplit (the broadcasting tool I am currently using) had an update 1 hour before I went live, causing it to only run at 4-5 fps., in addition to that I lost my internet connection. After ~40 mins all was fixed.
3.) BMing in the Tournament: There was an incident involving Tarson and Monchi, each guy BMed each other (so it sort of cancled itself out) both off and on stream but in addition to that, Monchi also insulted (all) french people. Before I made a ruling, I let both players finish their semifinals.
Because of the fact, that I wanted the audience to enjoy some more games and that wanted to talk to my other referees before the decision was final.
After the Semis were over:Tarson 2:0 monchi, Monchi sent in a support ticket not only insulting Tarson once again but also accusing him of cheating. So I asked him to let it go (for the moment), because the tournament had to go on. After a careful review of the replay by multiple persons, we were not to able detect any foul play by Tarson, making his result legitimate. If monchi would have won he would have been DQed. So he will get a (hard) warning for his behaviour, allowing him to participate once again in the next Qualifier, but under a careful watch by the admins. After the tournament was over I had a talk with monchi explaining him why I/we made the decision and that his accusation of Tarson cheating were unfouded and why, he was thankful about the decisions that were made and accepted them.
Both off and on stream Tarson apoligized for his behaviour. Monchi did not.
4.) AWESOME FINALS I was seeing such a diverse series and the cocasting with the Imba guys was really fun aswell. And once again I wanna refeer to this picture at the top. It fits the situation just perectly!
5.) Imba guys singing me a birthday song and so many well meat birthday wishes by the audience! Really enjoyed it.
In conclusion: Rough start - best possbile ending.
Once again big thx to everyone who participated and helped making this possible and was watching. I'm looking forward to the 3rd Qualifier! which will start, Tuesday, Apr 19 5:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
I ♥ u all =)

Qualifier #1 Recap!+ Show Spoiler +
I, as the Organizer and basicly the one responsible for everything, wanna do small recap:
1st of all, it was a SUCCESS! WE had so many great players, even better games and we have a winner:Nerchio ! GZGZGZ! He got the 50$ + a slot for the main event. Btw Nerchio is now a member of Empire NOT aAa (they disbanded SC2).
So the current lineup for the Main Event will be:
White-Ra
Kas
DarKFoRcE
Nerchio
So lets see what went wrong (and will NOT go wrong once again!).
![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/BLaJe.jpg)
1.) 10 Maps in the mappol - srsly Endrey? Well someone could think ... whats wrong with 10 maps? Well the answer to that is very simple. Eliminating maps with a total of 10 is just not possible.
Bye Bye Crevasse
2.) MLG Maps are sort of hard to play on with a whole casting team, when there are only 2 observer slots it total. So MLG is gone ... and TSL is here right now!
3.) The Bracketsystem was set wrong (as you can see here). Even though we managed to get everything done, even the the history part at the qualifier website is telling us who the winner is, we only had Bo1 quarters.
Well thats basicly about it. Once again big thx for everyone who participatet and helped making this possible I'm looking forward to the 2nd Qualifier! which will start,
