I'm pleased to announce the  Global Clan Invitational, a $1,000 SC2 tournament featuring 16 top EU pros! This tournament has been generously sponsored by the notable WC3 team, Global Clan! Word has it they're looking to pick up a SC2 roster too... but no pressure, teamless pros. 
The tournament features a dual-tournament format, and includes two group stages, semifinals, bronze match, and finals.
Group Stage 1
Group A will be played on April 14th at 17:00 GMT (+00:00)

Second update: We have changed the Group A start date due to the late announcement of the Red Bull Xel'Naga thingy. Group A will now be held on April 16th at 13:30 GMT (+00:00).

Man, so many tournaments at the moment, its hard to keep track, even with Tl.net and Liquipedia :D

With Group C finished up, we're now just waiting on Group D to find our final 2 players that will move on to Group Stage 2.
VoDs available here.
Also excited to announce that  Belair will be covering Group D and onward for us.

Reynor plays a Wardii tourney group 1 hour before this series according to the side bar. Hope he can finish in time to play this as well.
Wardii one might be a replay I think. never mind.
|
Quick note on Group D: Unfortunately,  Denver's computer has broken down today, so he is unable to play in this group. Luckily, MaxPax has stepped up to take his place! The tournament will continue as planned.

Wow, that was a crazy game - first time seeing the map split like that. It seems like uThermal has good early / mid game, but just doesn't know how to close it out vs. Reynor. His battle mech composition has been really ineffective in G2 and G3
|
How do you close it out v so many infestors though. Cant really engage into that with loads of thors and Bc's. Thought he would invest a bit more into the battlemech style after sniping the hive for the first time. Could of helped against the mass corruptor ling bane army. Thors just dont trade great v reynors comp
|
Very strange strategy of mass orbital/battlecruiser with no ground army or walling. And then he sniped all the tech repeatedly, and somehow didn't face any ling runbys for 20 minutes. It was fun, though rather dubious strategically on both sides.
