After months of anticipation, GEEX (Gaming and Electronics Expo) is proud to now have officially announced their Starcraft 2 tournament to be held at their expo on October 14-15, 2011.
GEEX is available to anyone and everyone that can make it to the event. Qualifier Tournaments are available to anyone as long as they are available to make it to the finals October 14-15, 2011 should they win any of the 4 Qualifier Tournaments.
Registration is Live
There is a detailed explanation of tournament rules/formats/etc at GEEX's Tournament Page. Here is a summary:
Top 8 players from qualifier events will play LIVE at GEEX. Where will these qualifiers be and how can you join?
Qualifier #1:
Online, Bnet US Server, Saturday September 17, 2011. Check-in will occur at 16:00 GMT (+00:00) in the same place you registered
Start time: 17:00 GMT (+00:00)
Bnet channel: GEEX
Players will find their opponent and begin their matches according to the maps and rules laid out on GEEX's website
Players will report wins through the z33k tournament page and must upload their replays before beginning their next match
1st (and 2nd) place finisher secures a spot in the Final 8 to be played at GEEX
Because this is an online event, we will be contacting 1st (and 2nd) place finisher and ensuring that they will be at the event. In the case that 1st (or 2nd) place does not show up at GEEX, his/her spot will default to 3rd/4th (and continue down the line if necessary).
Qualifier #2:
Online Qualifier #2 is now open for sign ups. Online Qualifier #2 will be Saturday, September 24, 2011. Start time is 11:00 a.m.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CHECK-IN TIMES HAVE CHANGED. CHECK-IN WILL BEGIN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 AT 11:00 A.M. MDT AND WILL CLOSE FRIDAY NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT.
We have done this to allow us enough time to seed the players. If, for whatever reason, you can't check-in during this time, we will make an exception and allow you to check-in Saturday morning. But, PLEASE, do all that you can to check-in Friday so we can start the tournament on time. Check-in's will occur through the tournament page on z33k. All players are to meet in the battle net channel GEEX to find their opponents.
The top 2 players will qualify for spots #3 and #4 at GEEX.
John Sloan, one of the main guys at GEEX, told the chat channel at the Online Qualifier #1 that they are working on grand prizes with PC Laptops and wellplayed.org. It's going to be the biggest prize ever to be given at any Utah Starcraft 2 tournament. So, let's get more than 25 players showing up to this qualifier. Spread the word!!!
Qualifier #3:
To be held at Neumont University at a date yet to be announced. Stay tuned for further information.
Top 3 finishers secure a spot in the Final 8 to be played at GEEX
FINAL 8:
October 15 at South Towne Expo Center
Tournament rules can be found on GEEX's website
Well, you may all be wondering now, "What am I playing for?" GEEX will be announcing the prizes in the near future. I will be sure to let everyone know the second I find out for sure what the prizes are. But, believe me, this is going to be the BIGGEST gaming event in Utah.
Help support GEEX by purchasing tickets HERE. Spread the word to all your gaming and electronic friends!
GEEX October 14-15

I really wish I could express just how important this tournament is for sponsorship. The guys over at GeekBox Computers have been really good about working with us and helping us to get great prizes. They just need to know how many people are expected to attend this event. If we present a good showing (at least 50 people), I really think GeekBox Computers will help us out. They have good connections with companies such as NVIDIA and Razer. So please, go SIGN UP HERE so we can give our sponsors a list of people in attendance. Again, I can't express the importance of this tournament as it will set the bar for prizes and sponsorship for future tournaments.
