Registration will close at 12pm SAST(GMT +2), 2 hours before play starts. First round of Swiss will be available from 1pm SAST(GMT +2) and play will finally begin at 2pm SAST(GMT +2).
Hope to see you there

This!
Haha nah, I think the international prize pool is great. It'll give our guys a chance to face off against the big names . Just awesome!

(: gonna be a good one.
now that we've all gotten the good and bad out the way. how about we play some sc2!
|
I've been chatting to some of the previous "international" players and team managers and things are starting to heat up.
Kellymilkies is also going to be running a stream of the tournie!
I've not been this excited since i was a little gerl.
|
Geez, I am pretty keen for this! I can't wait to see how many other pro's show up in the next couple of hours.... that is indeed a lot of money!
|
Pity it clashes with the Stormers vs Crusaders game. Gonna be a great tourney
|
How do the players check in for this? Is there a channel?
|
We have no official check in. our players use IRC and no shows are docked seeding points and their opponents get granted free wins.
We do really try and have everybody gather in IRC an hour or so before start so we can get an idea of who is around. Myself and the other admins are very proactive when it comes to monitoring player activity

Working on getting a system up for check ins, it won't be available this tournament, so we'll just get guys on IRC, available from the website.

Morning everyone
Registrations close in 30 minutes - for anyone still keen to jot down their names for today (: Games kick off in 2h30min
|
Why are the single elimination brackets so unbalanced? All the more or less good players seem to be in the lower half.
|
The top half of the bracket is SA players and the bottom half consists of international players.
|
I see. Do you have to play on EU server in SA? I mean did Blizzard create an African server or not?
|
Are you going to release the replays afterwards? That'd be awesome
|

Yes replays will be released, all the ones they have at least. There is no African server.
