wbc, when he heard that you'd be there, Everize said he was scared and shaking in his shoes
|
It seem that somehow my jobs ensures that I can never go to a Starcraft 2 tournament. Not that I would ever win or anything... Well good luck to everyone else.

Could this be increased to include a bed prize with either esiex3 or wbc?
|
You'll have to take that up with them...only the player is responsible for any post-tournament bed-related prizing.
|
Dammit, I fly into Chicago a few days after =(
|
I will be there from Wisconsin
|
Would any one be pissed if I clogged up a slot in this tourney? I suck (gold/platinum), but think it'd be fun anyhow.
|
ChickenBoo, there's a handful of silver-diamond level players already registered - don't be afraid to
|
Update: More prizes have been added to the prize pool!
|
Nice! ... kinda, I still work so I can't go. But still nice.
|
Players have been asking about the best times to come practice at Ignite prior to the big tournament, so here are the cheapest prices:
1. Any weeknight from 8pm-2am ($15) which is 2.50/hour
2. Thursday 6/14 Gathering 6pm-11pm ($10) which is $2/hour (+free cheese and a cheese mini-tournament)
Ignite uses SteelSeries 9HD mousepads and Logitech MX518 mice. As always, feel free to bring your own headset/mouse/mousepad/keyboard, and a staff member will help you hook them up.
|
Great news! Ignite has kindly absorbed all of the PC rental and venue fees for the players - which means more cash for the players!
1st-5th place will now all win cash. Check the updated prize pool in the first post.
|
Thanks to ignite for putting more money into the pool! Local Starcraft tournaments are an awesome way to build a gaming community offline and the whole event looks like it'll be really impressive. Looking forward to coming down and watching a ton of great matches!
|
Complete Player list has been added - check the first post!
|
Shame I didn't know it was happening earlier, could have registered.
Good stuff, though.

Stay tuned, ideally there will be at least 2 of these per year, so look forward to one in the coming months
Also, the tournament is free to spectators if you want to swing by and check it out!

I hope you're all ready, Ignition is only 2 days away!
