The reason for no qualifiers for this event is in order to not over extend ourselves, and make both events run smoothly. But we will be announcing qualifiers again soon.
|
Looks awesome, I'll watch it for sure 
Finally a big tournament with $AUD!!

Ah ok, well sounds like the KOTH is invite too so was just curious thanks for the response should be a good watch either way
|
Even if it were only 75% as awesome as the last tournament, ill watch every match! 2rd best tournament online tournament after TSL, easily.
|

Yes its back to 3 days, last time it was 2 days and it seemed like hell that you guys stayed up til 4 am EST time. It won't take as long for the event, last time there were many disconnects that made the tournament extra long.
I felt sorry for Supernova having to wait like 2-3 hours for his opponent in the Grand Finals.
|
I like the list of invites already =) Can't wait for the tournament so actually start :D
|
Hope to see ONEnamhcir in this tournament.

I very much like Taiwanese people, and have many Taiwanese friends, but why does it have the Taiwanese flag on the 'Chinese' stream =P even if it's a Taiwanese caster, it should be a Chinese flag. Just my opinion, I know my Taiwanese friends would agree. ANYWAYS, psyched to see this play out ;D First two were awesome except a lot of players I was rooting for ended up not playing.... Hope this one's a huge success ^___^

Hope this one's a huge success ^___^ Initially I had the Chinese flag on there as as that is the language that is being cast (just like the British flag for English cast despite the casters being Aussie and American) but it was requested that the Taiwanese flag to represent the caster and not the language be used. As it's a sensitive issue that I have no weight of opinion on I am going to leave it to the request of the caster himself
|
This tournament is awesome....except for the fact it's at 2 am. I need my sleep damnit :p.
|
Invite oGsTheStC please !!!!
About the time, it was supposed to be 1am, better than2 but "THANKS SUMMER TIME" :s Wish we would remove summer time...
|
oGsTheStC will definitely get an invite, I only had time to ask him about the KOTH is all
|
No one would give a damn even if a football club flag is being used so please don't bring politics into the game we all love. It will not help to further promote this game. Flag or not, it's good enough as long as we all know there will be a chinese cast.
