The eight invited players are laid out on a single elimination bracket to determine who will grab a slice of the 10 000 $ prize purse next weekend at the ASUS ROG Stars Invite tournament sponsored by NVIDIA . In addition, the schedule and prize money distribution are announced.
ASUS ROG Stars Invite kicks off the coming Friday. The tournament includes eight invited, top tier players from Europe and North America who we have announced during the last couple of weeks. We’re really happy about all the positive reactions this community has shown towards our event. Now it’s time to reveal some more details about the tournament.
Bracket
Many of you might be pleased to find IdrA and HuK on the opposite sides of the bracket which means a possible Evil Geniuses finals. You might also note that the way the races have been laid out gives a chance for mirror finals, a chance you might be happy or scared of.

Sunday specials? Oh yes, we’re extending the fun to Sunday making it a three day event! Since the Helsinki Exhibition & Convention Centre, where the tournament is located, is open to public on Sunday too, there’s no point missing the opportunity to display some great Starcraft 2 action for the audience the whole weekend long. We will be announcing more info about the Sunday specials soon, but for now we can say that the ancient Finland vs Sweden rivalry will continue with a match between elfi and SjoW!
Stay tuned, folks.

Idra vs Sjow seems to be happening in every second tournament nowadays. Besides the PvP some very nice first round games
|
|
these are some good brackets... plz let white ra show some special tactics to idra. Also Huk vs Dimaga could be good
|
i am a bit nervous for idrA, since he traveled alot this month and probably did not have much time to practice, hope there will be some good games
|
Great bracket, has the map pool been released yet?
|
It has been added to the first announcement topic.

Looks good for Idra. Huk might lose to Elfi because it's PvP so we might not have the dream Huk-Idra finals.
|
Elfi is really good at PvP. I can see him taking the match against HuK.
|
hopes for ret vs idra The rivality of BW scene,The rivality of SC2 Liquid vs EG
|
Dimaga vs WhiteRa Finals is what i hope for ;D
|
Great matchups! Poor Sjow tho, hope he brings his a game!
|
Huk 3-0 Elfi Select 3-1 Dimaga IdrA 3-0 Sjow Ret 3-2 WhiteRa
Select 3-2 HuK IdrA 3-2 Ret
Select 4-2 IdrA
HuK 3-1 Ret
Sup son?
|
Elfi, Huk or Idra take this. Everybody else seems unlikely, especially Ret/Dimaga/Sjow.
|
Why is HuK there when he has his Code S matches the week after. I really feel he is biting off more than he can chew: flying back from Helsinki to Korea just so he can lose because he's jetlagged and hasn't trained as much as his opponents.
|
Looking so forward to this! If you're going anyone please use your psychic abilities to know who I am and say hi!

Real potential for a ZvZ finals here, but most probably a PvZ with HuK leading his first half and IdrA/Ret leading the second half.
|
Lol all of these are rematches! HuK vs Elfi (they played at assembly, where elfi eliminated huk if I remember correctly) Select vs Dimaga (epic game at blizzcon last weekend) Idra vs SjoW (played at mlg raleigh, sjow won) Ret vs White-Ra (played at blizzard eu invitational I believe)
