HI RIFKIN FROM BASETRADETV HERE! I'M HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE NEXT GREAT THING: OUR NEXT TOURNAMENT. YOU MIGHT HAVE THOUGHT WE WERE DONE WITH EUROPEAN ONLY TOURNAMENTS BUT, EU8 THERE'S MORE!
We also have 1*TargA, 2* Bly & 3*Kas on potential standby in the event anybody needs to drop out of the tournament.
This will be a 3 day event spanning from September 30th - > October 2nd. It's all single elimination, with no 3rd/4th place match
Day 1 RO8 - BO5's Day 2 Semi Finals - BO7's Day 3 Finals - BO9
(Keep in mind, if matches finish early we may move onto the next series ASAP so consider all these approximate estimates)
September 30th
RO8 Match 1(Bo5) Tuesday, Sep 30 12:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) Grubby vs Kas
RO8 Match 2 (Bo5) Tuesday, Sep 30 1:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) MaNa vs Snute (TargA / Bly as back ups)
RO8 Match 3 (Bo5) Tuesday, Sep 30 2:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) Bunny vs Nerchio
Ro8 Match 4 (Bo5) Tuesday, Sep 30 3:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) Harstem vs Lilbow
October 1st
Semi-Finals A (Bo7) Wednesday, Oct 01 12:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) MaNa 1 vs Kas

October 2nd Thursday, Oct 02 2:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) Finals (Bo9)
Rather than repeating Overgrowth and King Sejong Station in the event of a Bo9 (let's be honest, it wouldn't be any other maps) we've modified the entire map pool for the tournament. Map selection will be handled through process of vetos!
Map Pool Overgrowth King Sejong Station Alterzim Stronghold Deadwing Heavy Rain Catallena Fruitland Bel'shir Vestige Xel'naga caverns (What the whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?)
There will be a guaranteed minimum prize pool of $2,000! Prizes will only be awarded to first and second place finishes.
Edit* 09/29 - After some donations and sponsor involvement prize pool is now $3,000!

Thanks for another tournament Rifkin. Your work is always so good. You do so much. And you are totally not cocky or into yourself or obnoxious or annoying or lacking game knowledge or anything. What a great man.

haha i was just wondering if europeans even know who billy mays is? it's a hilarious reference but it should probably be explained... wasn't he exclusive to american/north american television? (i know he became an internet meme too but...)

That saddens me
Great tournament though
I don't think he's that well known in Europe, I only heard of him through South Park... Do kids even watch TV nowadays with Netflix and torrents and whatnot?
