Autowin // March 14th, 2015
We’re pleased to announce that Blizzard Entertainment has named Copenhagen Games 2015 as an official WCS Global Event for their StarCraft II World Championship Series.
Winners of the Copenhagen Games StarCraft II tournament will once again earn both prestige and cash, with a total of 1800 WCS points and a share of the $10,000 USD prize pool up for grabs!
At last year’s event, HyuN walked away with the title after beating Happy in an exciting finale, and we hope to see some equally strong matches this year. We’ll have renowned casters Thomas “Khaldor” Killian and Kevin “Harstem” de Koning guiding the live audience as well as our online viewers through each stage of the tournament.
This year’s Copenhagen Games, sponsored by BenQ, takes place April 1th-3rd, 2015 at the Øksnehallen exhibition hall in Copenhagen. Online qualifier for the StarCraft II tournament will be held leading up to the event from March 21st. For more information and to sign up to participate, go here www.binarybeast.com/xSC21503130.
The StarCraft II tournament will change slightly from what we previously announced in order to accommodate the WCS system and points. Please visit the Copenhagen Games website for updated rules and scheduling. You can also contact us on Facebook and Twitter with any questions.

Sadly this overlaps with WCS Season Finals, so all the top 16 participants in that tournament can't compete at Copenhagen Games, which includes for example Snute and Bunny.

It sucks that Bunny can't attend the only international Danish tournament. :/
Someone also pointet out that it's against Blizzard rules to have overlapping WCS events, so yeah ..

I don't really see how they can fix it now.. It's waaay too late to reschedule anything and i doubt they will remove the WCS points from Copenhagen games now, so basicly they will have to break their own rules no?

We are already in a dialogue with Blizzard and they gave us the WCS points, because we moved our event from happening Thursday the 2. of April - Saturday the 4. of April to now starting Wednesday the 1. of April - Friday the 3. of April. So this decision was made in cooperation with Blizzard.

See you in the crowd!
But no Bunny? less hype 
|
Awesome! Always good to see SC2 tournaments grow!

Fantasy MaruThermal finals.

FanTaSy back in action ^^ <3

I think it should be emphasized in the topic that the online qualifier is only for the seeding to get straight to the 2nd group stage which starts on Thursday while the 1st group stage is played on Wednesday. 16 players will be seeded into the 2nd group stage.
