Do you know who is going to be casting? As I said i'm definatley going to enter as Loughborough is my home town, so its worth the trip to see people.. Would be good if you could get Vequeth or one of the other good UK casters involved.

I can't confirm who will be casting yet as awaiting contact for casters but will give away this that SC2 will have it own dedicated stage so there will be action going on throughout the 2 days.

Prize difference between 1st and 2nd is pretty stupid... good tournament for the UK nonetheless.
