3rd: $800 + 3rd Place Trophy
4th: $600
5th: $ 400
6th: $100

They were supposed to announce what the actual prizes are supposed to be. The prize values have been known since the announcement of this tournament, that is not what I was referring to.

Bad News: Prize announcement delayed once again.
Good News: The delay was because two additional sponsors signed on Friday afternoon. The prize pool has now been increased to Over $9000 for the entire weekend. Announcements will be made super soon pinky swear!! We and all of our sponsors promise the prizes will be worth the wait.

Updated prizing breakdown:
1st: $3000 + 1st Place Trophy
2nd: $2000 + 2nd Place Trophy
3rd: $1000 + 3rd Place Trophy
4th: $800
5th: $ 600
6th: $400
7th: $200
8th: $100

I registered, can we pay on for the open on location if we registered online? Looks pretty sick, hoping to do well in the open!

Unfortunately we can't save your seat unless you've paid online and with only 10 seats left... I'd be sad if you didn't get a seat especially since you are goswer after all.

The whole UCincinnati CSL team and also Case Western are driving out so maybe try contacting the coordinators? I'm sure they'd be more than happy to pick you up if you're on the way.

First tournament for me. SUPER excited!! :D

Edit: I noticed one website said Day 2 starts at 8am, and another (including this post) says 9am. Starts at 9 then, correct? Also, any time we should aim for arriving at?

"Check-in begins at 8am and rounds start promptly at 9am." Quoted from the OP?

6 Reasons to be Excited for Midwest Meltdown

1. The Unkillable Man
[image loading]
Why You Should Care - Lidquipedia Page - goswser dazzled at MLG Orlando, placing 29th after smashing GSL champion Polt. We're ecstatic to have him in our TPG Open player pool.

coLgoswser vs Polt
coLgoswser vs iNcontroL
coLgoswser vs Destiny


2. The Number One Grandmaster
[image loading]
Why You Should Care - Unbelievable Ladder Record - Rarely caught outside of the NA top-ten, puCK achieved #1 on the NA ladder Friday, February 24th. As a fellow Minnesota resident, I'm proud to call him one of our own.

puCK vs MajOr
puCK vs VilePsY


3. The Terran Hope
[image loading]
Why You Should Care - Everize rounds out the GMs in attendance. His accomplishments, while more subdued than those of puCK and goswser, are many. They include 2nd in US Craft Cup #30 and 2nd in Go4SC2 ESL #52. [Note: While Everize reached 11th GM in Season 5, he was not placed into NA Grandmaster in Season 6]

Everize vs Destiny
Everize vs iLLuSion
Everize vs coLrsvp


4. The Local Hero
[image loading]
Why You Should Care - In the Twin Cities, MGredground wins everything. Undefeated in the CSL, MGredground is our little taste of pro gaming, and spearheads our incredible CSL season.

MGredground vs Liquid.Tyler
MGredground vs VilePsY


5. The Dark Horse
[image loading]
Why You Should Care - You might remember a while back when Liquid.Tyler said on State of the Game that he was a player who could rise to the top with minimal practice. Ssok takes this to an absurd degree. Veterans of Minneapolis Starcraft recall Ssok at the 2011 TPG Open, chatting up top-seeded player Nozick. Setting a friendly mood, Ssok coaxed out of Nozick his most feared PvP build (3 gate blink stalkers). Later in the finals, Ssok crushed Nozick three times, using that very build. Whether smarter or more devious than the rest, Ssok continues to steal TPG events on minimal practice.

6. The Prize Pool

As Prisma posted above, the prize pool has only gotten sweeter. NOS, Antec, CoolerMaster, and MLG stepped up in a huge way to inject life (by which I mean scads of great loot) into midwest eSports. Check this out:

That's pretty cool!

The Antec HCP-750 ATX Energy Star Certified Power Supply was replaced by a pair of Gunnar Glasses instead. Thanks for catching that!
