Team Acer is proud to be participating in a special StarCraft II team event: Dustin March Madness powered by Intel!

Team Acer will compete against Team Liquid in a 3v3 team showmatch, as StarCraft II returns to the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm. The two teams will be fighting for their share of a $10,000 prize pool: the largest ever for a team showmatch[1].

Dustin March Madness will take place on March 29th from 1pm CET, so be sure to watch the stream provided by Dreamhack TV. You can also visit Dustin Expo at the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm to witness the action yourself for free!

Great news, and really awesome event! Really cool way to further the Acer-Liquid rivalry!

Shoutout to Acer, Intel and Razer for sponsoring this event

Hey, this is the writer of the article

Just to clarify - this is a standard best of seven all-kill. Each team sends out one player, that player stays on until they lose, then the next player is sent in. There is one 'ace' per team who can be sent in, even if they have already lost. Each team is sending three players to the event; the lineups will be announced shortly.

There is no 3v3 game - sorry for the confusion.


Lineups:
Team Acer:
(T)INnoVation
(T)MMA
(Z)Nerchio

Team Liquid:
(Z)TLO
(T)Bunny
(Z)Snute

I love watching team games, but that seems a bit much for a 3v3 o.0. Oh well, hopefully it works and I'm able to catch it! Can't wait!

According to the website, it is only $500 for the winner of the FFA (3v3?), $3000 for the losing team, and $6500 for the winning team.

While there is a special FFA (3v3?), the main event will be the Bo7 all-kill format

So the prize split will either be $7000-$3000 or $6500-$3500

FFA is the acronym of free-for-all so it will be the 6 players battling against each other without any team aspect. So the money will go to one player. If I'm not mistaken.

I believe you are mistaken, as the original quote says 3v3 and the quote to which you respond mistakenly writes FFA when FFA has nowhere before been mentioned. Unless I am the one who is mistaken.

2v2 would have been better. But nice to see new tournament :D

Better that it were a set of 3v3s!

Good luck all :D.

The FFA will probably be a 3v3 each team against the other and then a 1v1v1

Not sure whether it means a 3v3 match or 3 on 3 in all-kill format with ace match. Hard to decipher.

Anyways cool event and glhf to Acer and Liquid!
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

The two best (foreigner) teams fighting over who are the better team, how fucking awesome is this?

Earlier i would say Acer ez, but with Snute and TLO great performance recently, Taeja being Taeja (unless his wrist fucks him over), HerO, this is gonna be super intense. Could be close, good be a complete sweep from either side.

Hype hype hype!

The Article says:
Before the fight gets underway, all six players will warm up in a Free For All game.
. key words: Before and Warm Up. I think is like SPL.
Edit: Not like SPL but Like GSTL round 1: all-kill format. A FFA for warm up, I haven't seen that before so it should be fun to watch.

Dear Acer, I know Scarlett hates protoss, and believe me I sympathize, but please consider adopting Jangbi

He's a really cool guy, he's had some shit thrown his way and he needs a loving home. He is super talented, looks like a young Jet Li and has a smile that could melt butter.
