We'll go ahead and start this post with a quick word from our sponsor:
We're glad to be back in the esports world, sponsoring another SC2 event with another awesome tournament organizer! Rifkin and ZombieGrub have been great to work with and we couldn't think of a better team to represent the Ting brand for us.

Over the next two months we'll be running some exciting stuff for viewers, including a smartphone giveaway and other fun content. We'll be popping into the stream every once in awhile too, so make sure to say hi. We'll also be posting the official #TingOpen trophy next week on Twitter, so keep an eye out for that!

If you're interested in Ting, use bttv.ting.com to get $25 in service credit if you bring over your own phone, or $25 off a new phone in the Ting shop. If you have any questions, feel free to comment below and I'll respond!

Can't wait for the Ting Open to start - see you in Twitch chat

- Jesse

*The prize pool is provided entirely by TING, players will have 60 days to claim their prize or forfeit it back to the sponsor.

PRIZE POOL BREAKDOWN
1st place: $2,500 USD
2nd place: $1,300 USD
3rd/4th place: $400 USD
5-8th place: $100 USD

[image loading]


This tournament is online only and will feature qualifiers leading into 2 group stages, leading to a RO8 single elimination. Qualifiers will be all Bo3, all group stage matches will be Bo5, semi-finals will be Bo7 and the grand finals will be a Bo9. All dates posted are tentative and subject to change based on conflicts of interest and player's schedules.

QUALIFIER DETAILS (more details below)
2 North American Qualifiers (3 spots per qualifier, double elimination) - CANADA, UNITED STATES, MEXICO
2 European Qualifiers (3 spots per qualifier, double elimination)
2 Korean Qualifiers (3 spots per qualifier, double elimination) - KOREA, JAPAN, CHINA/TAIWAN
2 Wild Card (GLOBAL) Qualifiers (3 spots per qualifier, double elimination)

*Eligibility for each qualifier will be based on residency. To be perfectly clear, it you are a North American citizen living in Korea, you must play the Korean/Wild Card qualifiers. If you are a European living in America, you must play the North American qualifiers. Any regions that aren't listed must compete in the wild card qualifier (SEA/South Africa/etc)

There will be 8 Invite spots reserved to be issued after the qualifiers, and will most likely be used to invite those that failed back, based on performance. Invite slots are entirely up to TING to use as they see fit!

Just want to say that as someone who doesn't talk much on the phone or use too much data, Ting works out great for me as one of the cheapest plans available. Never had an issue reception-wise either. Thrilled to see them once again involved in a SC2 tournament.

2am and 5am starts for the wildcard qualifiers for east coast AU ouch. 11pm/3am start for west coast and most of SEA too. I get wildcard doesn't refer just to SEA/ANZ, but I assume we have the majority of the players looking to qualify for these spots but the times are pretty brutal. I hope we can potentially shift these a bit as I'd love to play.

While we did fight to allow SEA/ANZ to even compete, the wild card qualifiers are more intended for those that failed in the other qualifiers wanting a second chance, with the acceptance of all the other regions. Groups, Ro8 and Finals will all be bad times for the same people that can't compete in the qualifiers. It's unfortunate, but it's how we have to do it!

Why is it so? Ting demanded it?

Latin Americans, Africans, SEA and Middle East region are really screwed considering that the Wild Cards will go to people who failed at the regional qualifiers... that they can't participate in.

I think it's a bit silly and unnecessary, but I guess they have their reasons.

I love that the qualifiers are double elimination. Leaves a better chance for the best players to get the spots.

Congrats to (P)Harstem, (Z)Bly & (Z)Lambo for making it through
Let's cross our fingers for all our favourite Korean players next: http://challonge.com/TINGKRQual1

(Note: We've heard some mumurs that the koreans are not a fan of the qualifiers being double elimination. We'll look into this with other players and perhaps adjust future qualifiers)

Nice!
Although, I think the tournament is too long (2 group stages, seriously?) for its prize pool to top tier koreans to participate =( =( =( But, I think I saw sOs in qualifiers, so may be I'm wrong.

Basetrade, please, let Pomi cast this cup!!! Yeah, yeah, russians dont give a fuck about rights, an he'll stream this anyway, but the only one who suffer is a viewer like me. He see a source quality from your stream, but we are see restream - a soapy lagging horseshit instead of good picture, so please, save an esporsts in Russia! I guess he'll glad to be an official caster and can do that marketing stuff, or how do you call it, in our native language.

Good Luck guys, and thank you for providing much starcraft content! Sorry for my poor english, from Russia with love!


Pomi is a thief and you should just be watching our stream anyways. We don't care about supporting those who support content theft (you in this instance) sorry.

Glad to see that $o$ appears in online cup. Would be terrible waste to see him only in proleague for half a year.
