Yes... one more step towards NYC becoming the western mecca of esports. (sadly, not likely, but one can dream)
|
Who are the 8 players who were invited?

So 8 players will be invited and the rest of the spots will be filled by an open signup that only costs 10 bucks? awesome! wcg rocks.

No this isn't a qualifier, just a standalone event

$2000 and no tickets to the wcg finals. Random events have more money than that. Well hope it turns out nice anyway.
|
what random lan events have more money? - not to mention this has a FREE entry fee
|
I'm playing! Can't wait!!!!! :D
|

|
