DutchStarCraftLeague Netherlands103 Posts August 12 2016 19:59 GMT #1 Hi everyone, the DSCL Open returns in 2016! Building on our three-year tradition starting with Harstem's epic win in the World Forum in 2013, all the way through uThermal's second championship victory in Amsterdam last year, we're back with the 4th installment of our flagship tournament. And as you would expect from the DSCL Open: it is OPEN! Any 10 players can earn a seed for the tournament through 5 online qualifiers. These players will be joined by 4 players who qualifiy through the Crafting Stars Series Finals (which is currently running), and our invited previous winners Harstem and uThermal. If you want to play in the qualifiers, read the rules and sign up right here: - September 5th, 19:00h CEST - September 14th, 19:00h CEST - September 19th, 19:00h CEST - September 28th, 19:00h CEST - October 5th, 19:00h CEST Just like last year the 16 participants will first go through an online group stage (groups of 4, double elimination), after which the best 8 players will come to the offline finals on December 3rd. In 2015 we had uThermal, Ret, Namshar, Guru, StrinterN, SpaceMarine, Jona and Optimus coming to Amsterdam, we hope to get a similarly impressive line-up of players in 2016! Dates for the online Ro16 (broadcast by BaseTradeTV and Wardi.tv!): - Wednesday October 19th - Thursday October 20th - Tuesday October 25th - Wednesday October 26th The grand final will be streamed on Twitch.tv/DSCLeague. We hope you will all tune in and cheer for your favorite players! If you want to help e-sports grow in the Netherlands, tell your friends about the broadcasts too - we promise we'll make them fun and informative. This year’s prize pool is €1.000 split up as follows over top-8: 1st place: €400 2nd place: €200 3rd/4th place: €100 5th/8th place: €50 External links: - DSCL Open-page on official website - Liquipedia article - Official stream - Twitter - Facebook

Gonna be rather low-key: we're going out for drinks after the StarCraft finals, and all players, crew and visitors are welcome to join.

royalroadweed United States8301 Posts December 03 2016 20:58 GMT #12 uthermal is making this really hard for himself. He's had sub 30 workers for half of the game. He seems to be one of those terrans than build around ~60 workers and never build anymore no matter how many he loses.
