Just as a short reminder: They need at least 64 players. There are 16 right now. To all americans in that area, I´d recommend to sign up for this now; even if you get ripped to shreds in the first round, I did´nt see smth. like as registration fee, so you don´t have any real disadvantadges by doing that and you are massively helping the event.

I´m curious to see, how the taiwanese players are doing internationally, as the entire roster of YFW signed up for this (Well, not the entire roster, now that San joined, but the taiwanese part).

Yes. Xoronius is right. There is no registration fee. It is completely free to come play, and we even offer travel assistance to masters and grandmasters. Thanks Xoronius.

Don't forget we have an amateur tournament for those of you who want to play but don't think you can hang with the GMs. We even have a bronze league division! All players are welcome to come play

We need a casting team to be the back up for Rotti and Bitter. Even amazing caster like themselves can't go ten hours or so without their voices running out of juice. We are in negotiations with a team to possibly cast the online games but we just found out they aren't able to attend the live event. We are looking to interview a pair of casters to back up BitterdaM for the live event, and possibly cast the online games too. We estimate the B team will cast about every third series or so, depending on how much relief Kevin and Ben need. If you're interested email esports@tarverautomotive.com and if possible send us a link to a youtube site or something where you have some casts.

Thanks!

Yeah we would love that kind of overwhelming participation! We are hoping to make this an annual event on our e-sports schedule and since there's not a huge Starcraft 2 scene in our area we're going to need to bring in a lot of players and fans to justify to the folks that hold the purse strings that this event is a worthwhile investment. So players please get your registrations in ASAP whether you're a seasoned pro or just learning SC2, we want you to come play. And fans join up on the Facebook group. We'll have some exciting things going on for the fans as the event gets closer.

Stay tuned!
