It is updated with news about the game, and some unique news and opportunities from Australia who are interested in SC2.

Obviously Idra is the favorite, but TemujiN has been playing pretty well in this tournament.. I think it'll be a pretty good match to watch.

How will IdrA hold his nerve if the perceived Kazakhstan lag causes him to drop a game?

Should be great though, looking forward to some entertaining commentary.

This is kinda confusing... I wasn't sure if it was a SC or SC2 tourny till I saw the map pool. Anyway GL Idra!

It's not in the SC2 section --> It's a SC1 tourney; I think this is the general rule for now at least until it's no longer beta version.

Great banner.

(T)

IdrA will win if he wants to, of course, but (P)

TemujiN has been showing really good form recently (did he beat Ret straight up in the qualifers, or did Ret just not show?), he could take a game, but should, at the very least not roll over and die.

Kind of sucks for the three Australians participating in this tourney

2 got paired together right off the bat, and all were in Idra's bracket

When he first started the tournament he didn't have a key and was sharing off of Skew, apparently. Now he does but he will use this to play on the Asia server with his Korean account instead of USA.

Both players capitalize the first and last letters of their names. Clearly that's their secret!

I wonder if IdrA will watch out for those killer probes this time. Can't wait to have some Moletrap coming at me!

Nah that would be a bit silly, how would Temu have earned it? And who's to say TemujiN hasn't got one and is deceiving? At least IdrA didn't try to fool anyone.
