TeamLiquid is proud to present the Altitude TL Invitational, a single day StarCraft 2 event with four of the best SC2 players to celebrate the end of the first beta phase. The event will be casted from replays by Day[9] and Chill on Saturday, May 29 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00).
White-Ra is a Ukrainian StarCraft: Brood War top player who is very active and successful in StarCraft 2 tournaments. He won the European TL Invitational and made the finals of the HDH Invitational.
IdrA needs no introduction. He is a pro-gamer and the first official SC2 pro on CJ Entus. A polarizing figure in the community, IdrA is well known for his skill and for his demeanor.
TheLittleOne is a new Liquid team member who is popular for his innovative builds and creative play, particularly for a game involving nukes and battlecruisers in the European TLI, where he made the finals.
Tester is a former progamer and coach for the Korean team eStro. He is recognized by many as one of the best Asia Protoss players at the moment, and is currently an SC2 progamer. Check out an interview with him by Artosis here.
In the Bo3 "semifinals," White-Ra will play Tester, and in the other IdrA will play TheLittleOne. Immediately after, the losers will play in a third place match (Bo5) and the winners will play for first place (Bo5) and $600. All matches will be casted, and VODs will be provided.

Chris "Pillars" Page, former progamer and former lead balancer on SC2:
"Altitude offers an excellent mixture of accessibility and depth. I've been playing this game on and off for over two years. Easily one of the best indie games [or games period] I've ever encountered."
