Would have been great if it was not for husky commentating (day9s great tho!). He often never speaks anything that contributes to the watchers knowledge about the game (usually talks about his life for 10minutes into the game, and general crap) nor does he have a good game sense. If he actually played the game (more then 14 games) he would be a much better caster. Really dont see what the people see in him tbh, all i see is bad puns...

Still remember during the time i watched Huskys shoutcasts how i learned just ... plain wrong facts.. for example he told people how ; "phoenixes were surprisingly bad versus mutas" When a stack of 10 mutas killed 1 phoenixes... Just dont hope he fools new players into just plain wrong information. Otherwise, he is great at getting more people into watching SC / playing more SC, and thats a great thing!

Please can we get NZ/AUS added to this... We already have a NA account, most of us play on NA anyway, we have FAR better ping to NA than EU players do... really it makes no sense whatsoever to include EU and not SEA. And what laws can there be regarding this? i can play TL open, NA go4sc2, NA Zotac, everything, except this one.

When a country is excluded it is most often because the lottery law of that place is shitty. Like in Québec it is something like no lottery of raffle is allowed if it isnt endorsed by Loto Québec. Otherwise there are some legal stuff that Lotto Québec could try to pull and create shit.

Can't wait to watch this tournament! I'm still debating on whether or not to enter the Amateur division. I definitely have no hopes of winning, just a high silver who probably should be high gold...plus as somebody mentioned there's a chance of pros smurfing the amateur division for an easier shot at a prize pool, and even then the amateur division is probably going to include Diamond/Master players. But it would be kinda fun to join anyway..

Just join man! Nothing to lose, great way to push yourself to improve. I know I did when I first entered the TL Opens. Got rid of my ladder fear and moved from Gold to Diamond in like two weeks just by setting myself the mindset to perform well and treat the ladder as practice. Also the more people join the more sponsors and tournament organizers will host events like this. So at least do it for ESPORTS!!

Pros can play in the Amateur part if they are not invited to the Pro portion of the event.

When will we find out which pros are invited?

Well, as a high silver (near gold?) player, I expect to completely roflstomp everybody in this tournament.

On a serious note, I can't wait to play. Although I will likely lose horribly, it will be much fun!

I would recommend civil disobedience in the countries that do not allow harmless stuff like this... Dunno if I'm allowed to recommend it though, so I don't recommend it... Or do I...? The plot thickens.
