The Gemini Korean Invitational is a tournament series I've starting up that is funded through my Patreon and today I'm announcing the December 2+1 Holiday Special edition!

The GKI was on a mini hiatus the last few months as I got settled in Korea, but we're back and doubling the player count and tripling the prize pool! I've saved up the funds earned on my Patreon from the last few months and put it all into this December 2+1 Holiday Special edition!

The tournament will be a simple 8 person bracket featuring:
  • Cure (2x Reigning Champ)
  • Ragnarok
  • sOs
  • Dear
  • Trap
  • Bunny
  • TRUE
  • Armani

where the Ro8 will be Bo3, Ro4 Bo5, and a Bo7 finals. No 3rd/4th place match. The first streamed match will be Trap vs Bunny, and then all Ro4 matches and on will be casted. If the first match ends quick enough I'll try to jump into another series mid-way through.

I had raised $350 on my Patreon for the last 3 months so that will be combined and spread out among the players as:
  • 1st Place: $200
  • 2nd Place: $100
  • 3rd/4th Place: $25

You'll be able to watch the stream live at https://www.twitch.tv/geminisc2/ on the 28th at 4 AM EST/ 10 AM CET/ 6 PM KST, which is in about 21 hours.

I unfortunately had to change the time to accommodate other tournaments happening, so sorry for the NA nerds who enjoyed watching live. This time the EU nerds can catch it

VODs will be up on my YouTube channel within 1-2 days aftewards.

VODs are up!

If you want to download the replays of the tournament, then you can become a patron and I'll have the link posted to download them within 15 minutes of the tournament finishing! Any tier is able to download them.

If you'd like to further support the tournament series then all patrons above $100 will still be added to the next edition's prize pool! I have enough funding for another 4 player tournament again so there will be at least another in the future! January will be a busy month for me at work but I'll do my best to squeeze one in. If not then I'll do one in February.

Thanks again for any support and I hope you all tune in to watch!

Very commanding performances from Dear and Bunny.

Was really surprised to see Dear dominate as hard as he did honestly. Didn't expect to see it at all

Well Ragnarok did go for Microbial Shroud again, and it helped him just as little as it did when he was playing Patience.

I mean Dear was rolling with a 6.9k mmr on the Korean ladder much of 2019 and had some strong showings in the GSL circuit tournaments as well. Some unfortunate PvPs threw him off course iirc but otherwise he was actually an excellent player outside of the biggest tournaments against the biggest names

He was t he only Protoss player capable of beating mass BCs, in the hands of Maru no less

He put on too much pressure for Maru to transition into BCs is what happened.

Dear is in general very unpredictable in terms of how he'll show up. Been like that for years now though, flipping from best player in the world to absolute WTF within the same game on a moment's notice for no apparent reason. The most consistent thing about him is that he's not very good at PvP. He lost PvP and got eliminated at Katowice, GSL ST1, Assembly, GSL S3, the ST2 qualifiers and recently the Korean WESG qualifier. That one match-up pretty much cost him a spot at Blizzcon and a lot of money.
