Hello SC2 fans. I will try to keep this as short as possible.
Just a few words about QLASH - we are an eSports organisation founded in 2017, just over a year ago, in Italy. We are trying to be different by not only trying to find the best possible talent to compete for us, but also by creating events, establishing a network of streamers and trying to be innovative in how to engage the different communities out there. So far you might have heard our name just because Elazer, Lambo and Retjah play for our SC2 team. But enough about us...
After some serious work behind the scenes we have just announced our first SC2 event. All of us are huge fans of StarCraft because we have been gamers since we were little, and we all know there are only a few games out there that are as important as StarCraft for the eSports industry as a whole.
We are very happy that we managed to gather some of the best talent in terms of players and casters in the European scene to be part of our event. We also secured a very experienced admin to help us guide through all the technicalities and make sure we have a smooth sailing.
The event will start on the 23rd of July (Monday), will have 2 groups of 8 players each that will play roundrobin Bo5 matches - making this 7 rounds in total for the group phase. Each Tuesday and Thursday afterwards we will stream a round from each group (each stream will last four Bo5 matches). The stream will always start 16:00 GMT (+00:00) and the whole thing will be broadcasted on our English channel:
We would like to point out that we might run into some bumps here and there but we hope that you will appreciate we are doing this whole event without any sponsors specifically signed for it (we have just one general sponsor for the team). We will do our best to make the event as fun and professional as possible. More information can be found below:

An image with the full schedule will be added to this thread soon. First two streams will be on the 23rd and 26th of July starting 16:00 GMT (+00:00).
We will be posting updates as soon as we have them on our team Twitter profile.

Thats zerg heavy :D
|
Ret as commentator - that's really cool!
|
Really awesome event! Love seeing more round robins. Though that’s a lot of Zerg!
|
Sick lineup! Hoping that won't be schedule problems with WCS tho
|
This looks great! Thank you for doing it! :D

Hello guys,
First of all, amazing thanks to the CynicalDeath for creating our Liquipidia page - that was my job for the day and had no clue how to do it so can't thank you enough  Only thing Im trying to do but unsure on how to is to change all prizepools to euros instead of $ as it is now incorrect. The group wins are also worth 50 euros and not 50$.
We are aware that it is quite a lot of zergs in the tourney but unfortunately this is due to some of the major non-zerg players opting not to participate.
Last but not least, we are aware of the WCS issue - we can either pleplay all games or we can reschedule. Both are not ideal for us but of course we will try to do our best to avoid any kind of collision between the events.

Hello everyone,
AN IMPORTANT UPDATE!
We will be moving the first and only the first stream to Monday - 23rd of July due to a conflict with the WCS qualifiers on the 24th. The time remains the same and the first stream will be casted by RotterdaM and Retjah together from Rotti's house!

Hello everyone,
One more last minute change unfortunately. DeMusliM had to drop out from the tournament and has now been replaced by Hellraiser. First match today is Serral vs Hellraiser at 18:00 CEST on QLASH_eng twitch channel.

I expect 4 zergs in the RO4, which is a bit sad.
I guess they can't do that much about it as Neeb and Showtime are in KR.
But perhaps uThermal and HeroMarine could have been invited, as they would have had chances of getting to the top 2 of the groups (way better then Soul, Clem and the other non zergs there).

Quite the stacked (zerg) tournament and fun format

They were invited and they declined for their own reasons.

Impressive comeback from PtitDrogo!
When DnS - Stephano will be casted?

Hey guys,
We've seen a lot of comments about uThermal and HeroMarine. We can confirm that they were both invited and declined participation. We understand that the tournament is a bit zerg-heavy but this is the elite European scene at the moment in general and we wanted to have the strongest players possible.
We will update here once we have a time for DnS vs Stephano match broadcast. Thanks for tuning in yesterday, we can improve a few things but in general we are happy with how it went!
