We are thrilled to make this announcement. Many of you PM'ed us, many of you asked about it and now we can give you an answer you wanted to hear - White-Ra is coming to Montreal. We worked tirelessly to achieve this goal. As some of you know we experienced major problems with the venue, and of course getting the visa for White-Ra was not an easy task by itself. So many times we were on the verge of cancelling White-Ra's visit to Montreal but passion and your dedication to e-sports helped us to move forward. Now we have it all under control. The inaugural Main Stage Series now becomes a mini tour with stops in Toronto and Montreal. We have to say that we wouldn't be able to do this without enormous help and support from our friends at CyberActiv. Big props to them for what they are doing for e-Sports in Quebec and in Canada.
So, again - Aleksey 'White-Ra' Krupnyk is coming to Montreal. Main Stage Series: White-Ra. Special Tactics LIVE! Montreal is officially announced. You asked for it - and we made it happen. Now we can only count on your support to make this event a success.
Tickets: Tickets range from $15 to $30. Unfortunately with the time schedule we have for Montreal we were unable to secure on-line sales this time. Our apologies. The tickets will be sold at the door.
If are sure you are going to be at the DB Clarke Theatre on March 31st - you are absolutely going to like this.
Rules are simple - post a question you want White-Ra to answer on stage. Make it a question not directly related to StarCraft (builds, strategy, etc.). Post it here, or PM us, or post it on Facebook event page (check main post) or send it to info@interceptorgroup.ca.
We pick 3 best ones - winners will be able to ask White-Ra their questions on stage in person! WhiteRa will pick the best out of 3 or maybe another one (Who knows - Special Tactics!) - the lucky author of the question will play a game vs. WhiteRa during the masterclass portion of the event.
GL HF!
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT
This unique event will consist of three major components. First - Lifestory - White-Ra will share the story of his life, how he became progamer and rose to the top of the international e-Sports scene. Ups and downs, challenges, memories and plans for future. All these and more will be discussed on stage in front of you.
Second - Masterclass - Arguably White-Ra is one of the best tacticians out there. Well there is a reason why his tactics are called Special. A unique opportunity to learn from the best and get White-Ra's opinions on different tactics and builds. Advise to new players, in-depth analysis of top-tier games, live ladder games commentated by White-Ra and answering questions from the audience will mark the second part of Main Stage Series - "Special Tactics. LIVE!".
And finally - Showmatch - White-Ra will play an entertaining showmatch showing the legendary Special Tactics and maybe developing a couple of new ones right before your eyes. Short analysis will follow each game. For the showmatch White-Ra will meet with the Lan ETS 2012 winner Slush.
Following the event there will be a photo-op and signing session.

That's awesome! That's the french Canada you're going to. Try to say "Bonjour" in the beginning, if they weren't seduced before they'll probably be then
's how it works with the habs players at any rate.
The event is 4 hours long with + like 30 mins of pics/signatures after.
Also guys, if we cant set a proper online tool before the show, be sure to prepare anywhere from 15 to 30 bucks depending on how close to the stage you wanna be!
Missed barcraft although was supposed to attend, stuff came up and couldn't go (RAGEEEE) but I will show up to scream like a fangirl at every word he says :D

What time will tickets go on sale at Concordia? Anyone I can call to get more information? Driving down from Ottawa - don't weant to get there to see a "Sold Out" sign.
wish i would have been there but i had to burrow my gran ma today t.t whitera fighting. The ladder i played vs him was one of m y most memorable game ever
Just came home from this! Awesome event! One of a kind really! I'm really happy to have been part of that I even got to participate by asking a question to WhiteRa!
Guys this was an absolute pleasure. Putting this up in about a week or so wasn't easy but for a first time doing the Main Stage Series, i believe we did a good job.
As far the stream issue goes, we will make our statement available most likely on Monday.
And now the hardest part. Guys, we have to thank you, the fans. Thanks you coming to this without knowing how awesome it could be. Without you guys, we couldn't make new events going forward. I can't predict the exact future for Main Stage Series, but rest assured, we heard you. You want more and we will deliver. But we will need your help! Tell everybody! Tell the tale of this wonderful night. If you share your experience on twitter, use the #hashtag, #mssmtl. If you're a redditor and see my posts, SiliticX, upvote em, it helps the visibility!(hell i just made one showing the awesome after party pic from further down) If you see an event that mentions CyberActiv or even the Interceptor Group on TL, get into the discussion!

On our way to Toronto from Montreal. Thank you everyone who showed up. As I said on stage - you told us to bring the Main Stage Series to Montreal and we for sure do not regret doing it. You guys are aweome!
Big thank you goes to our partners in Montreal part of the mini tour - CyberActiv. They are great, they are passionate and they are truly awesome! And of course we have to say thank you to Marko and Club 1234 for hospitality.

I'm not white, no. That's Roch.
edit: er. The left is Miss Harvey's friend :B
Then the follow-up is, who ISN'T white in this picture? Rather, I mean't in black, technically "to the left" of JP, looks like AJ from Sopranos. Minus the facial hair, add glasses! Bingo.
That was a really nice event ! It was great to get to meet a pro-player outside of competitions.
I hope we'll have other Main Stage Series and other great events like this soon ! I'd personally love to see HuK or Stéphano, but i guess meeting any pro-player would be great ! Thanks a lot to Interceptor Group, to CyberActiv, to TorteDeLini (you did great at spectating, but just show the production tab a bit more often ), and of course to slush and White-Ra !
