Something doesn't add up here
Jokes aside, I'm pumped. Sounds awesome! I always love things that encourage non barcode laddering

Only first day (12 vs 12) is bo3. After that (Ro16) is Bo5 until finals (bo7).
I'll add a few more infos about the barcodes for people. Barcode is everything that is not making yourself known as the player you are known. It doesn't matter if you play a barcode and rename it - thats fine - but you need to rename it. Happy for example I am pretty sure won't rename which is a shame, but if he does - I would invite him.
The deadline is 3rd october 11:59PM CEST. Players that are invited already and are top 6 will still be invites and #7 , #8 .. etc of the European non-Barcode grandmaster will earn the spot. If you have any questions besides that - feel free to ask., I will answer as soon as I can.
Tbh at first I wasn't sure if this was gonna be a poker tournament with SC2 pros or just a SC2 tournament. Looking forward to the tournament, always liked the vibe of TaKe's stuff
The tournament starts tomorrow. We would very much like to know a bit more about the event. Who are the final 4 invited players? What are the initial 12x 1v1 matches going to be? What is the schedule for each day? Who is going to cast it in English and on what channel? What is the prize distribution?

Thank you for the info. Actually, the starting time for the 1st day is listed on taketv.net/streams too, but the 2nd and 3rd days are a mystery.

So jetzt schreib ich mal hier rein da ja das frum wie auch der twitch chat von kiddern oder von mitarbeitern die nichts machen wollen belegt wird. Langsam nervt euer milchiges Bild. vor jedem großen event muss man euch zig mal anschreiben das ihr ein milchiges bild habt was funzt denn bei euch nicht? Seht ihr euch mal selber euren eigenen stream mal an? die cup´s sind immer so geil und ihr macht es ein immer so schwer euch zu erreichen. seit 1 Woche hab ihr wieder so ein bescheidenes Bild auf eurem stream das ich echt umschlaten muss auf andere streams.
