"Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of North America in Congress assembled, That war be and is hereby declared to exist between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the dependencies thereof, and the United States of North America and their territories." (The Annals of StarCraft History)
Independence Day Weekend, 2011. Our favo(u)rite world powers take up arms and battle across the proverbial pond - only this time, it's StarCraft II. While you enjoy barbecue and a three-day weekend, remember that valiant soldiers are fighting for your bragging rights as the best damned country or continent in the world.
Grandmaster and Master-ranked scholars-turned-soldiers play in an epic Bo9, cast by Canadian and British casters Adebisi and LeonStarcraft. Have you ever seen warfare streamed live on Justin.tv? Didn't think so. Join us for intercontinental war and cheer for your nation!

: "The year was 1776 when the British last touched down on US soil, sadly, not everything went in our favour. Today that changes. Our men are stronger, more versatile and better equipped to handle anything the inferior Americans can throw at us. This day, we revoke their independence."
: "For centuries, the UK has posed a threat to our fundamental North American values: family, freedom, sexiness, and bacon (both US and Canadian variety). Now, they pose a threat to our greatest cultural commodity: ESPORTS. Will an opposing nation whose main exports include funny accents and a clearly inferior version of The Office be allowed to claim superiority over North American ESPORTS? I think not. Today, we take a stand for freedom. Today, we take a stand against tyranny. Today, we take a stand...for ESPORTS."
Join two collegiate StarCraft leagues in the biggest event since Independence Day, 1776. Tune in to www.justin.tv/cstarleague on July 2, 3pm EST. An ESPORTS revolution cannot be quelled.
...And that's not all!

Hard to believe there will be footage of someone fighting the British without Mel Gibson involved.
|
This time we already know the British are coming so there'll be plenty of time to set up our siege tanks xD
|
This is going to be an epic clash. A ton of the NA names are grand masters, UK better bring their A game 8)
Check their stats here: http://www.cstarleague.com/stats
|
Most of the UK guys are GM as well, I think we'll easily bring out A Game 
UK hwaaaaiiiiiting

Gomas, RazerBlader, Bling, Lau and Biohazard is a pretty sick lineup for the UK - I think it'll be closer than you may expect. I'm totally not worthy of this team! In fact, looking at it again I think I may be the worst player.

Nice to know that it'll be easy then.

As a dumb American I only recognize Bling because he's on a known team and Gomas because he's played in NA tournies. Go USA ^^

Great idea for a tournament! GL to the UK team.

The NA one needs to hang it's head in shame at being over shadowed by such a magnificent piece of work.

And I love arrogant worms (listening to "Proud to be Canadian" right now actually).

PS, UK has no chance.
Being put right after Canada day (July 1st) and before America Day (or whatever you yanks call it, /trollface) July Fourth, we will be a frightening force of freedom, powered by pure patriotism pontificating as we perfectly penetrate and purify the pathetic ... um... English (was trying to keep the alliteration going, alas).

I don't know.

Pretty much all players from both teams are unknowns.... disappointing but nevertheless goodluck, a tournament is a tournament i guess!
|
the panel u guys provided is too small for me to mess with... trying to expand it without breaking the pixels is hard T_T
|
Unknowns mostly yes but this has the added spice of being a UK vs NA so it's definitely peaked my interest.
I'll be tuning in but I aint got a clue who the hell is going to win tbh
|
dBling is unknown? He is part of team-dignitas.. the biggest UK gaming team, also Lau and rANDY(Who took second place at i40?) are part of TT.infused. I think about 4 players are Grandmaster and the others are top masters who have beaten the lights of very tough opponents.
Gogo YYT Boys
Adrenal, RazerBlader, Valckrie!

Lol most of grandmaster players on NA wouldn't have a chance of being GM on EU nad would most likely be mid masters.

You sir clearly do not know much about either the UK scene or the NA scene, as many people have stated, the players that are competing are well known in their respected scenes. Please do not comment when you do not know what you are talking about. There are other players other than Idra, Incontrol, HuK and Demuslim, you really should expand your knowledge of players

The British players are mostly known only by a small group of british players/followers like myself, only exception possibly being BlinG. The US players are all unknown to me except for rsvp and I do follow quite a lot of tournaments etc.

GLHF to both NA and UK players!

Sorry guys D: thought I had won then made some major mistakes.

updating with results would be much appreciated.

Agreed. As an Australian player (so, a totally neutral party), I had only heard of BlinG and rsvp, and LuckyFool just because I'd seen him posting on TL.
