viOLet has looked kind of shaky in his last few appearances so it's hard for me to imagine Polt not taking this

Wow, great prizes. Also, I love you for helping to promote Ender's Game.

I don't like Polt or Violet in there. Be more viewers for strictly NA players. NOT RESIDING players.

Destiny has this in the bag. Polt is the only one I could see taking more than a map off him. The power of Abathur cannot be denied.
|
Glad to see Xenocider invited this time, will cheer for him!
|
Puck is a great opponent for Destiny. If he doesn't win he can fall back on QQing about Protoss :D

Now that they are in the US and not in team houses... why would we punish them for their work ethic they built up from earlier?
They have exactly the same environment now as any NA player

In other words, players that might make the other participants look like jokes aren't allowed, am I understanding you correctly?

wait this is two separate tournaments? One hosted on Twitch and the other on Gameon?

Looks that way, I was confused at first too. Looks good though, I'll be watching.

I was hoping for catz + destiny combo to cast this thing, oh noes
|
I think its great that polt and violet are playing in this. I consider polt at least to be an NA player now Go captain America! but seriously even though polt is the favorite to win I think there is an outside chance that a player like minigun could take it.

Pretty awesome!
More money for Scarlett
|
Come on guys... Nathanias dun got shafted again... Let him commentate a whole tournament! Sheesh...
