Shame not seeing a Canadian flag up there, but HuK's the only one really on par with most of these guys anyway. (Though Slush and Kiwikaki could beat some of them for sure). If only he wouldnt act like prima donna regarding cross server play he would be there probbably | ||

The half finals and the finals will be played in May in Paris, but what about the other rounds? Group play broadcasts start on the 29th of February. Don't know if streamed or only VODs uploaded to Youtube, but I'd assume it's going to be streamed, too. | ||

The start date/time should be plastered at this point on each of the various threads floating around about the event. It starts on February 29, at 9pm CET, rebroadcast at 10PM EST (4am CET), and then rebroadcast at 6.30pm CET the day of the next show (so just before it starts). I'll also repost what I posted on the other thread seeing as this one has more views. + Show Spoiler + =>>Pomf, one of the french commentators, as well as one of the founding father of Alt Tab Production (who manages the various P&T projects), was interviewed by millenium: http://www.millenium.org/starcraft-2/accueil/actualites/sc2-pomf-iron-squid-2-deja-prevu-interview-du-fondateur-d-ogaming-tv-61788 The two most interesting things to learn from this interview are the following: -the location of the finals will be announced towards the end of march, it is in the center of Paris. -Pomf's explanation of the Iron Squid concept: We did not want to make another random tournament with a pompous name that can be summarized to an unattractive anagram, we wanted to give a particular and personal flavor to the tournament, to make it part of a story, a universe. This is how the "Iron Squid" name emerged (after a lot of brainstorming with Noki), the "Calamar de Fer" and the guiding principle of the tournament: "The best players in the world will not fight to prove that they are the best, but to receive the title of Iron Squid, a sort of silent guardian of Humanity" The rest of the story will develop throughout the tournament, but I'll stop the spoil here. =>> He was also interviewed by aAa (in french too) http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xp0cc3_pomf-nous-parle-de-l-iron-squid_videogames?start=985#from=embed couple infos there: The planning of Iron Squid started in June, and Iron Squid has a 6 figure budget. Moreover, they purposedly "ignored" a few good players in selecting the invitations because their style is "predictable", and they want to have interesting and cool matches. | ||

A small but clear player list should be presented on the top. That's the most interesting information of all. People will look at this thread, not see what they want and leave it again. | ||
