That's alot of casting... O.o
Looking forward to the event.

edit: for the random drawing, may I suggest you use this: http://challonge.com/tournament/bracket_generator ?
There you can make a random seeding and everybody can see that you did it randomly.
The result will then look something like that: http://challonge.com/tournaments/bracket_generator?ref=65ajGCE0bR

this seems fun. Some of the idea's behind the starbow mod are pretty good but overall it kind of lacks some things imo. It's a merge between sc2 and bw in a way that makes it worse than either on it's own imo. Some stuff is really good like replacing colossus with reaver and many more but some changes like using the building pace from bw more are just bad imo.
Overall the unit design is better than sc2 though making it quite interesting, if only it didn't try to change stuff like pathing and game pace so much..

I'm just wondering... I live in the U.S. What is 30€ in $, and how would that work XD?

Prolly not an issue. Also, how would you feel about having other casters help out :D? I would love to bring in more youtube casters, even co-casters would be pretty nice too.

(Thinking of but not limited too:
BoisterousSC2
HuskyStarCraft
PsyStarCraft
Day9 (lol yeah right... keeping the hope alive.)
HDStarcraft
others I don't know/care to name.)

Just give em a pm, link to tournament page and main page, spread the word :D

We got our last player! We are good to go.

Now, chances are that not all show up, so whoever signs up first will be prioritized first if someone is absent. So feel free to sign up to dat tournament!
