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 On February 26 2012 23:57 goswser wrote: 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. On February 27 2012 10:13 Ero-Sennin wrote: You gotta pay online, it says so.. pretty easy You jerkface. Don't be so rude :p | ||

I live close to Cincinnati, and if anyone can give me a ride I would love them The whole UCincinnati CSL team and also Case Western are driving out so maybe try contacting the coordinators?

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? | ||

6 Reasons to be Excited for Midwest Meltdown 1. The Unkillable Man ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hPs3q.png) 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. 2. The Number One Grandmaster ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/xwUNT.png) 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. 3. The Terran Hope ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ux2Ic.png) 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] 4. The Local Hero ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/d4b7U.png) 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. 5. The Dark Horse ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ISo1h.png) 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: + Show Spoiler + 1st NOS Extreme MLG Experience Package: Competitor Pass Three VIP Spectator Passes Three Night Hotel Stay Blue Flame Stacker Full Tower Case - Limited Edition (CX-830BLFM-01-GP) Antec HCP-750 ATX Energy Star Certified Power Supply Cooler Master V6GT CPU Cooler Gunnar Computer Glasses Das Keyboard Ultimate S Mechanical Keyboard Thermaltake Shockspin Headset Thermaltake Gaming Mouse 2nd Color Aluminum ATX Full Tower CSX Limited Edition Green Flame Computer Case (CX-830GRFL-01-GP) Cooler Master V6GT CPU Cooler HCG-620M 620W ATX12V V2.32 EPS 2.92 80PLUS Bronze 135mm Fan PSU and Notebook Starter Set Das Keyboard Professional S Mechanical Keyboard Thermaltake Shockspin Headset Thermaltake Gaming Mouse Gunnar Gaming Glasses 3rd HAF X Nvidia Edition Full Tower Gunnar Computer Glasses Antec HCG-620M 620W ATX12V V2.32 EPS 2.92 80PLUS Bronze 135mm Fan PSU V6GT CPU Cooler Thermaltake Meka G1 Mechanical Keyboard LX Dual Display Lift Stand (33-299-195) MLG Championship Spectator Package (4 tickets) 4th Antec Three Hundred Two Gaming Case, Black Antec HCG-620M 620W ATX12V V2.32 EPS 2.92 80PLUS Bronze 135mm Fan PSU Cooler Master V6GT CPU Cooler Thermaltake MEKA G1 Mechanical Keyboard Gunnar Gaming Glasses $100 Howard Computers Gift Card TRENDnet Wireless N Gaming Adapter (TEW-687GA) MLG Championship Spectator Package (4 tickets) 5th Antec Three Hundred Two Gaming Case, Black Cooler Master V6GT CPU Cooler iGrip Ergonomic Keyboard & Trackball Antec NBC-200 Antec 60mL 3X Cleaning Spray Antec 3X Cleaner Wipes - 20-Pack Antec Deep-cleaning Gel MLG Championship Spectator Package (4 tickets) 6th Platinum 1000W 89+ EPS Modular PSU (EPM1000EWT) Fulmo Mid Tower ATX Basic LED Case (ECA892BG-BL) Antec NBC-200 Antec 60mL 3X Cleaning Spray Antec 3X Cleaner Wipes - 20-Pack Antec Deep-cleaning Gel 7th HAF 922 Case V6GT CPU Cooler 8th Hoplite Mid Tower ATX HS LED Case (ECA3220) Briskie Wireless Desktop K+M Combo (KM001W) Hope to see you there, Higara | ||
