a player called nicholashk won the HK qualifier, does anyone know him? his team & race? I remember he was an Undead player representing Hong Kong during WCG2004 Warcraft3. Sad to see there are no new blood within the HK RTS scene lol
I was at the the qualifier and from what he was wearing and his gear, he was not on a team.
He is Terran! So it won't be all PvZ PvP ZvZ action all tournament. Best of luck to him! I am sure all the gamers that didn't qualify will be behind him.
I was playing the R1CH role at the qualifiers this past weekend. I will post pictures soon!

Well at least we learnt something, thank you 
do you know where he is from?

What a tremendous effort made by Hong Kong eSports to promote eSports in China. Good to know that they invited westerners to play in the tournament too.

Seen his name a long time ago. Someone already mentioned he represented HK in 2004.
Pretty sure I've seen his name in SC2 though, his and Roz's. that fact has gotta mean he's pretty good.
But this tournament only gives $65 to the 7th and 8th place, but $10k to 1st?
That should have been thought through a little better... Anyways, still psyched to see this go down.

I will try to keep everyone updated here on this thread since stimmedprobe is very very busy in the last few weeks until the tournament.
Here's the link to my blog about how I got involved with HKeSports and also the HK Qualifer pics
let me know what you guys think! any kind of feedback would be awesome!

I'm so not used to seeing not as many South Korea flags haha. Go go Sen!
I will be there live, hopefully backstage helping out with stuff, but let me know what you guys want to see. If it is allowed, I will try to snap pictures and videos with my DSLR as well as tweet some things if I can. Follow me @ranleee
If you guys haven't seen the pics from the HK qualifier, check out my blog

Thanks for the heads up rkshox! Please do take what pictures you can!

It will be nice to update OP with who's actually playing and when the tournament is. Those are the most important information. They shouldn't be buried in threads or in spoiler tags. Tournament is in 6 days and there is absolutely no hype.
|
Oh wow, just realized Tastosis is casting this, nice.
|
lolwut Rossi ?
well good for HuK i guess,bad for the tournament in general.
gogogo nicholashk !

Why not Liquipedia? So stupid not to use it...

Yup, Rossi as the wildcard (no offense if you read us) and also, 8.00 am this Saturday (!!) for Ro8 is not the best publicity for the tournament, SC2-wise at least. I'll be at the semi-finals but there's no way I wake up at 6.30 a Saturday morning, even to see HuK or Hurricane.
What happened with Rossi? Vote-bombing in the last weeks?

I know it's the last week and stimmedprobe and HKesports are probably suuuper busy planning everything, but I understand the no hype going on. Since I'm not the OP. I'll get in touch with them and try to update the thread. They will know TL community cares and wants updates!
The finals venue and the swap of wolfdor with tastosis was also updated, but the update date was not updated. ::shrug::
I thought that someone would actually announce that Tastosis was commentating the tournament. So I didn't want to spoil it for everyone. Surprise?
I voted everyday for HerO, but I guess it wasn't enough. The tournament people could have done a little more marketing on the wild card voting in my opinion.

I think they just give up the wild card voting.

damn huk is doing pretty well these days

Whoa that's crazy! Will be watching this for sure!
