We've been so happy to announce the fantastic players that we have currently, and we'd like to thank the players and teams who have confirmed so promptly. However, we've decided to allow a few players an extra leeway time pending their travel arrangements to MLG Anaheim. Therefore we won't be announcing every single day any longer. We will still continue making frequent player and caster announcements, and will keep everyone updated, but announcements will likely ramp up more and more over the coming weeks as players' schedules are solidified.

But I'm selfish and impatient and I want my announcements NOW!

We have more sponsors! Special thanks to Gigabyte, Kingston HyperX, Tt eSPORTS, Dolby, Twitch.TV, BenQ, LANFest, Zalman, NVIDIA, CyberPower PC, Patriot Memory, and last but not least SoCal eSports for sponsoring the GESL. Without their support, all the effort from local CSL, tournament, and BarCraft organizers would not make GESL reality. Please like our sponsor's Facebook page, so they know the StarCraft 2 community appreciate their support of the scene:

I love events like this, such a cool thing to see so many passionate people putting a ton of work into a LAN like this. Very impressive sponsor list as well that is absolutely fantastic.

I just realized that there's actually a fee for spectators? That's kinda lame. Grassroots/community endeavors like this shouldn't be charging people, I think.

The spectator fees are used to pay for outrageous prices equipment rental cost.

I think it's fine to charge, since this is your bigger than normal grassroots event. It's the cali version of lonestar and they also charged.

Infinity Seven fighting! excited about Thundertoss casting and the iS team participating!
also excited for QXC's participation

Gwin ain't a bad caster, but i feel like he need some more research on some players (and/or help from co-caster to fill in the blanks), i noticed during the WCS qualifier match broadcast from beyond gaming he was not informed that "Goswser" is pronounced "Gosu User." other than that, i think this will be a good stage for him to improve as a caster
