QXC did quite well at the last tournament I casted back with him in Fullerton. We'll see if he goes for a Battlecruiser rush again. ^_^ One of the best lives games I've ever casted. Compeition might be fierce if the guys from ItsGosu come as well as they have a SoCal presence. The divisions are gonna be tough.

Excited to see QXC is coming - maybe we can get x6mystik (gg's @ MLG Anaheim btw - you stomped me hard, twice haha), and all the CSL folks from the surrounding schools to give a presence. Represent YOUR area of SoCal.

Remember too, there are two divisions - Amateur and Pro-Am - so if you're platinum you don't have to worry about getting roflstompd by a GM.

I'll be there for the casting competition. I've asked a friend from San Diego so see if he wants to co cast with me. Should be a lot of fun but need to talk with Cable and see what the setup will be. Are we going to be livestreaming the event? Do we need to bring our own mics and sound equipment/laptops?

Going to be interesting to have itsgosu with FXOQXC playing and perhaps some more GM players as well. Will there be a player cap?

We're squaring away all the details of the casting setup, but it should be setup for you to use when you get there - bring your own mic/headset if you prefer something specific just in case.

Also, only player cap will be: (64) competitors maximum per division.
