Why is everyone bitching about it being an invite? This is their first big tournament. I know they have done the boot camps in the past, but a tournament is another beast. To start off as an invite only tournament is a good idea. Just like how IPL started as and invite and moved onward. And honestly, there are not THAT many invite only tournaments these days.

Agreed. Seems that eventhough a majority of the major tournaments have qualifiers, people start to bitch when ONE tournament is invitational.

I'm probably the only one here who doesn't enjoy Husky's casting. He fits more with a horse racing event with his 9000 words/min. He always tries to be fast and has really high voice.

that is an AWESOME prize pool for 16 players and if they keep inviting the same quality of players the event is going to be so freaking good.

oh yeah finally someone got husky+day9 instead of artosis+tasteless im so happy

Husky + Day9 is how I got into e-sports. I got an email from nvida about their pro/am tournament with Husky and Day9 casting, and I've been hooked ever since.

People rag on husky because hes not the most technical caster, but that duo is the right mix of technical and awesome.

Stop having so many invitationals. Stop letting Rob cast events.

I take it by "Austin City" they mean Austin, TX? Austin City isn't some obscure village in North Dakota somewhere? :-P

Hurray; For their first big one i can see why its invite only. Hopefully if its successful they'll go to more open style so we can encourage new blood into the scene. So super stoked about Day9 and Husky. Hope they cast together!
