So happy to be hearing about this, need to get in contact with my friend in Loughborough to see if he can give me a place to stay for the Saturday night, if so I am 100% there. Can I just confirm that the £25 fee for the Sc2 tournament includes access over both days as a spectator for when we aren't playing? I presume so but just wanted to double check

Yes you get full access for both days.

I'm not sure but I wouldn't be shocked if they had some presence at the event. Best head over to http://www.decerto.net but if you do come make sure you come watch the SC2 Stage and say hi.

Out of interest what is there from a spectator side? I know this is the first event you have done SC2 at and its not the main attraction in the eyes of the opperators jusdging from prize pool. All that is fine, jjust wondering if there will be a dedicated large screen to view the starcraft, or if it theres one screen rotating events etc.

Basicly if i go to watch the starcraft how much will I see?

Dedicated SC2 stage tier seating with a big screen and some well known casters that we are hoping to announce soon. Bar small half hour breaks you can expect SC2 action for the rest of it. Also you will be able to view the non-stage by standing behide the players.

Pandemona: There should be free parking on site but may be a little walk from the venue, cause it up to the campus on where the free parking is shouldn't be more than 5/10mins max.

Just updated the original thread with our casters announcement.

European Console League? And then organize PC lans, I heard they still owe all their prize-money from previous events to players. Plus they have no experience in PC.

Their name really makes sense when they are doing SC2. Heard their first event was good at Liverpool and their second event looked bad on the stream. I might attend it if i got the money together and could someone explain to me what is there for the spectators at this event?

Also who is funding these events just out of curiosity?

Of course they have experience with PC they are all PC gamers, ECL have hired experience SC2 admins like myself to advice. As far as i'm away all money has been paid off.

The company is all self funded and sponsored, For speactors there will be replay (old scool games section) aswell as two stages for one SC2 & one console. SC2 stream is HD and should be of very good quality.

Thinking about heading up there for the weekend - few quick questions:

When will the players be announced?

When will the schedule be released? I'm not sure if I can make it both days and want to make sure that Sunday won't be just a half day of SC2 or anything like that.

Lastly: Will tickets 100% be available at the door or will they need to be purchased online beforehand?

Thanks

Ah thank you very much - just to clarify on the third:

Will spectator tickets 100% be available at the door? Or is there limited space for spectators as well?

Blimey.. If I knew about this a week ago, I'd totally get the train up from Brighton..

Alas, you have me on your stream watching while i'm up all night watching MLG.

Hope this turns out amazing and it's great to see more home-grown SC2 tournaments.

(and thanks for ruining my sleep pattern this weekend)
