The schedule for the 3/4th match and the Grand Finals will be posted soon!
What about contest closing at 13th though -_-
1. Contest Dates: Contest shall commence on February 13th, 2012 and continue until midnight of May 3rd, 2012 (the "Contest Period"). All attempts to enter the Contest outside the Contest Period are void.
As it clearly always has ^^ Good enough for me ;-)
Great website and casters but the overall quality of games atrocious compared to other events (most of which are equally free). + Show Spoiler +
Most of the criticism has been covered in this thread in a quite abrasive manner so I'll only add a bit of comment on the finals. You might say that HuK had idra tilting, but it seemed like he just didn't care in situations where he was down a bit and left the game even earlier than usual. Having DjWheat cast two six pools in a row on 4p maps just seems like a waste of his and the viewers time.
The players seemed to lack an incentive to compete, and not just throw games or make ludacris showmatches. Seeing as this was branded as a, albeit friendly, competion, the games really should have captured that sort of tension. I would have loved to see some sort of prize for the winner. This was probably supposed to be the title of most evil genius which, while meaningful for the fans, isn't the sort of thing the players seemed to care about all that much.
Next time you might wanna let them wear a EG BONJWA paper crown 'round the EG lair for a month or something instead

If you're going to have a week long delay/not upload it at all to the site, you could have someone make an update in the designated thread - I'd think that's a huge reason as to why start one at all.
so the webpage says winners would be announced the day after the grand finals, and here it says the betting period would end on May 3rd. Both have passed and neither have happened. Come on, EG. Not to mention youve still not updated any of the scores whatsoever.

Go easy! They got attacked by someone and the entire EG sites crashed around the begining of April. They rightfully delayed the ending timing so we have time to earn prizes :O but yeah some stuff is a bit slow here.

i wouldnt hold your breath the release the gracken contest during the last master cup ended like a week or two after it was supposed to so we probably wont get an update till the 10th or possibly later
i love EG so much but they run these contests pretty sloppily
:o doubtfully I'll win anything, but I'm delaying building computer for this drawing. Super excited. Need to re-announce the time of the announcement of the winners.

pretty much the same for me. except im entered in several things with 1 2 or 3 bids lol... so i would highly doubt with the odds that i dont at least win something.
Though its been almost a month since this ended and no update at all yet.
Ah, sadly this event totally slipped under my radar. However, now that Thorzain joined EG, it is undoubtely clear that he is the most evil genius. Especially if you consider that he has something which all (James Bond) villains have: German skills.
winners announced on home page of the contest now. I won the hard drive from kingston and a bg premium. now I only need to wait for the email to actually claim it, or whatever i need to do....
