A huge thanks to everyone who tuned in today, and will hopefully tune in tomorrow

We're new, but we do plan to stick around and show some love to those who support us. Our stream had some issues today but we know what we need to do now to improve on things dramatically. It really means a lot to us, since we're just a random bunch of StarCraft lovers, that people enjoyed themselves because that's really all we want to do, entertain you guys for a couple of hours.
A huge thanks to the players for giving us some exciting games as well.
Look forward to tomorrow, by all accounts (I haven't watched the games myself!) they're quite insane.

The Australian Pro League is a new group of passionate dudes who love StarCraft, we love watching as much as we love playing, to this end we're in the business of hosting Sydney BarCrafts (speaking of which: Come along to our Sydney BarCraft for the GomTV Blizzard Cup finals) and now we're introducing the first of many tournaments to come.

The Open Bracket recently concluded and from it we gathered eight talented players who will be joining the group stages and matching up against our fine SEA invites. These eight players come from Australia, Korea and the Philippines with the hopes of taking the $800 first place prize home, but every victory is worth something.
