The cut-off date for the EPT based invites was August 16. So the invitees would be Serral, Reynor, Rogue and TY provided none of them declined.

No kidding! It amazes me that companies/orgs put up big money to sponsor these tournaments but don't get a solid commitment on how their company will be promoted. At a minimum, link to their home page...

Maybe it's this Kubo?
