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.
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.

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?
