Beeline, one of the largest Russian internet and mobile service provider is hosting, fittingly, one of the largest Starcraft II tournaments the world has ever seen!
[image loading]
reportedly the trophy the winner will recieve will look like that

1. 325 000 rubles after taxes(roughly 10.5k dollars; originally 500000), 1 year of free Beeline Internet, 2 computers: Lenovo IdeaCentre B505 + IdeaPad s10-3t
2. 6 month of free Beeline Internet+ computer Lenovo IdeaPad Y560
3. 6 month of free Beeline Internet+ computer Lenovo IdeaPad Y550p
4. computer Lenovo IdeaPad Y460
5. computer Lenovo IdeaPad U460
6. computer Lenovo IdeaPad U16
7. computer Lenovo IdeaPad s10-3s
8. computer Lenovo IdeaPad s10-3

www.gamer-beeline.ru

Qualifications

will be hosted every monday, wednesday, friday, starting 11.11.2010 at 19:00 Moscow time on the Russian server.
Single elimination, up to 1024 people.
Beeline clients will get a special loser bracket(lol)
I don't know if there are any restrictions regarding foreign participants- the only restriction listed on teh website is that you have to be 16 years of age.

Finals:

12.12.2010
8 people will qualify
Will be held live in Moscow, Club "Pipl"
(as far as i was able to find out that is a proper night club, not a computer cafe which are often titled as clubs in russian- http://piplclub.ru)

For some reason I find it kind of funny that first place actually gets you two computers, even though one seems to be a laptop and the other a desktop.

Here are some additional info:

Restrictions regarding participants:
it's clearly stated (in Russian) that you need to be >16 and have Russian citizenship and have an SC2 license

Servers:
They posted schedule for qualification rounds and it stated that there will be games on both EU and RU server (but it probably means that participants with EU SC2 will not play against RU SC2 players in qualification)

The whole thing is a promo for an internet provider, though with such prizes it is a very nice promo.

A lot of qualifying tourneys with a big 8 person event at end.

Hopefully with this we will see some higher level Russian players.
10k is a lot of money in Russia, unless of course you live in Moscow or St Petersburg where cost of living is insane.

I took a some time to skim the site, I did not read anything about streams or casting unfortunately.

half of quali tournaments are on EU server half on Ru. Only russians(not Russian speakers, only who life in Russia) older than 16 can take part.

Streams are on gamer-beeline.ru or goodgame.ru (the same streams)

They will be:
29.11.10--6quali on RU serv 19:00(finals on 4.12.10--15:00)
01.12.10--7quali on EU 19:00(finals 05.12--10:00)
03.12.10--8quali on RU 19:00(finals 05.12--15:00)
All time is Moscow time.

10k is a lot of money in Russia, unless of course you live in Moscow or St Petersburg where cost of living is insane

Even in Moscow or Saint Petersburg its a lot of money. the normal salary in Moscow is 1500-2000$ dollars a month.


And you need to pay tax if you win a computer(35%) from the cost of computer.

Whew that was close. Almost had another IEM on our hands. Thankfully some other races managed to overcome the obstacles.

Way to overshoot with the prize pool imo. With that much money you could get participants from all over the world, so it seems uneccessarily big for a Russia only tournament.

no that's actually marketing done right.
That's what happens when professionals run tournaments.
There is just a difference in return for the sponsor between situations where a teenager runs a tournament and where people from advertising industry do. They know how to earn every penny from it.
here's, by comparasion, the extent of marketing campaign for a random 600 euro tournament(there were 2 ran already): http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=169623.

advokate failed to qualify, he was in EU top 200 from last week as advKT. I think he's really promising because he's top 200, right, and the game i saw him in Beeline qualifier he went 15 expand against zerg.
So he's good enough to crack top 200 while having a 100% SCBW mentality.

NICE!, didn't know he was playing SC2, glad to hear he is still active and plays awesome :D

guess that's the trouble when old players don't use their excat old names(looking at you, koreans!)

To be fair that was only the post on TL... we don't know how that tourney is being advertised elsewhere, although it was really lackluster.

Wouldn't they get a bigger showing though if they allowed people from all over the world, instead of just Russians? I mean its cool that they have a massive tournament, but with that much money you could have like a mini GSL for foreigners.
