Can you add races to the OP?
Also I might mention that this'll be a hell of a lot of T/P, try to stream as much Z as you can if they're limited, though I'm not even sure if there are any. =P

Edit: Oh my, not a single zerg. Ah well, will still watch for day9 =D

"However, due to unspecified reasons, the MLG Raleigh Semi Finalist and BETA super-star, CauthonLuck, will be unable to attend the New York city finals, and will be replaced by Silver, the Terran who shocked the world by defeating Idra and Huk in the qualifiers."

Here is my entry for the TL Weekly Cheerful contest, and to cheer on the lads too of course.

As you can see my 'shopping skills are limited, but it was worth the effort. I feel I managed to capture my mental image whenever I think of Huk

If I win the shirt, I feel obliged to send half of it to the chap who rendered the awesome protoss head that I shamefully stole to win a t-shirt. It can be found here http://gameartisans.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9693&p=144562 please go and give him some love.

Looking forward to the games today, even though I'm at work (shhh).

Installing Octoshape is a bit odd. I tried three browsers before I realized I had to click "No" instead of "Yes". How non-intuitive.

Wait,no Zergs at this IEM? This will be pretty boring. Maybe we'll see some cool PvT's though.
