Hey all, it's safe to say we got a bit keen with the patch and hoped to make something happen asap for SEA community benefit but the timing & date & the amount of effort we require to run the event means it won't have the effect we wanted it to.
Postponed until early 2013 It'll be much more accessible then, enjoy your Christmas & New Year everybody!

Friday? Only time available to us before the new year, sorry!
Why do I need an sc2sea account and post to play? It's a very low barrier of entry, once you have an account - posting is easy! There's a great community here for SEA players, enjoy it
(and if you aren't a SEA player, don't register for the tournament! US/EU will be flooded soon, shoo! <3)Why HotS? Let's be honest, those new patch changes make things very interesting again. Hopefully by having incentive and starting early the SEA scene can be more comfortable come HotS release.
Seeding? Random for now.
Best of... Ro128 -> Ro32 - Bo1, Ro16 -> Ro4 - Bo3, Finals - Bo5.
Will there be more HotS beta tournaments? After the new year, absolutely.
Don't have a HotS beta key?: Preordering HotS gets you beta access, get on it.
