Your Commentators for the tournament

Player Introductions

BlinG

[image loading]

Name: Samayan Kay
Game ID: DignitasBlinG
Race: Protoss
Age: 20
Nationality: English
Largest Achievement: Top 8 WCG 2011

Team Dignitas representative for this invitational steps up. Samayan 'BlinG' Kay, under careful watch of Team Dignitas management has finally broken into the spotlight and as gained a lot of respect and fans while doing so. He finished top 6 in the IPL4 UK qualifier finally losing to SlayersRyung, he also went on to compete as the UK num1 in the WCG where he had his break through, going undefeated in group stages beating players such as Kiwikaki, Strelok, ToD, Cloud before falling 1-2 vs MVP in the quarter finals. He has recently paired with Stephano to make a deadly 2v2 team also. There is a lot of potential for this talented Protoss player, this tournament may be another difficult test for him, will he sink or swim?

Nerchio

[image loading]

Name: Artur Bloch
Game ID: AcerNerchio
Race: Zerg
Age: 19
Nationality: Polish
Largest Achievement: [image loading]1st Battle in Berlin - November 2011

SCAN invitational #2 winner is back to try and keep his title! Sersiouly, who can stop Nerchio online? He has won so much, he still has an impressive offline record also, recently playing in the Home Story Cup 4 tournament and having a fantastic run only to run into another Korean pro-gamer who took the victory over Nerchio, keeping him away from another big win. Will Nerchio show his dominance again within the EU scene to add to his huge virtual trophy cabinet? Or will somebody stand in his way?

Kas

[image loading]

Name: Mihaylo Hayda
Game ID: EmpireKas
Race: Terran
Age: 23
Nationality: Ukrainian
Largest Achievement: [image loading]3rd WCG 2011

The destroyer is here!!! Look out!! Kas is arguably the number 1 Terran player in Europe right now! He has always been extremely solid and strong as a competitor for a long time yet recently he has started to shine offline rather than just destroying the online scene. He placed 3rd at WCG after an incredible run, he also 3rd place at IEM Kiev just recently, he is placing well and is looking as strong as ever before! Kas has a very bright 2012 coming up and what better way to set this tournament standard high, than to invite Kas!

Snute

[image loading]

Name: Jens Aasgaard
Game ID: GLSnute
Race: Zerg
Age: 21
Nationality: Norwegian
Largest Achievement: Top 16 WCG 2011

Yeah, thats right, believe your eyes, Snute is invited. A lot of people are talking about him recently, his stream, his replay pack and more importantly his baneling build on Antiga Shipyard :D! Only recently coming into the spotlight, Snute has been providing some excellent commentary on his stream and is also now starting to record wins online, most notably beating Violet 3-0 late November in a gamecreds tournament. More importantly, he managed to defeat his group at WCG 2011 advancing through as 2nd place only losing to HuK but sadly losing to finalist XiGua in the ro16. No doubt he is going into this tournament as an underdog and by god, I bet a lot of people are excited and will be routing for him here.

Grubby

[image loading]

Name: Manuel Schenkhuizen
Game ID: Grubby
Race: Protoss
Age: 25
Nationality: Dutch
Largest Achievement: [image loading]4th ESWC 2011

The fan favourite, who doesn't like Grubby? He is an idol in esports, dedicating his life to it from WC3 into SC2. His SC2 career is on such a steady rise, from joining the scene late, to finishing 4th at ESWC, every time we watch Grubby it seems like he is getting better and better. Most recently Grubby has started streaming his high level Protoss play where he competes with the top end of Europe ladder but what he is more loved for his is reasoning on stream behind every action and game changing move. He carries the hope of Protoss into this tournament, but the field is tough.

BeastyQT

[image loading]

Name: Aleksandar Krstić
Game ID: EmpireBeastyQT
Race: Terran
Age: 21
Nationality: Serbian
Largest Achievement: [image loading]1st SC2RO Season 2

Another Empire Terran joins the tournament. The beast is well known for having one of the best vs Zergs in Europe, claiming it has his favourite matchup, he has a very solid, well designed style with multiple different pushing timings with an army size which is never small. The lights are never off in the Barracks of the Beast. He is no slouch in the other matchups either, vs Protoss he statistically has a better record. Another underdog to this tournament as his achievement list would say but I do not think anybody in this tournament will under-estimate the Beast and he could very well cause an upset here.

TiTan

[image loading]

Name: Oleg Kuptsov
Game ID: RoXKis.TiTan
Race: Protoss
Age: 22
Nationality: Russian
Largest Achievement: [image loading]4th WCG 2011

TiTan, another bright up and comer, especially for Protoss fans! He hasn't had much spotlight time but when he has, boy has he displayed some great results. His 4th at WCG, nobody could have predicted, beating Idra, KiwiKaki and Supernova along the way. Another underdog in such a stacked tournament but TiTan has been stamped as one of the Protoss players to follow during 2012, so let it start here!

Stephano

[image loading]

Name: Ilyes Satouri
Game ID: Millenium.Stephano
Race: Zerg
Age: 18
Nationality: French
Largest Achievement: [image loading]1st IPL3 2011

Welcome back to the SCAN invitational #1 champion, joining #2 champion Nerchio. What other Zerg could you really ask for? This guy is raw talent, his mechanical skill is second to none, what a great year from zero to hero in 2011 and now claiming that 2012 will be he last and only year as a professional player saddens us all. Stephano is certain to rock the Starcraft world this year and it excites a lot of fans! Will his 2nd invite into this tournament result in another 1st place?

I'm gonna take a shot at the "special guest" and say it's either TLO or 2GD. I do this based on no previous information whatsoever.

According to your schedule I doubt that a bo3 takes only 1 hour.
I saw shoutcraft two weeks (?) ago and it needed around 5-8 hours for 4 bo3 matches.

Different circumstance/games, the average bo3 takes 1hour, maybe little more. + Remember shoutcraft, was bo5, not bo3

BO3 on 1 hour schedule is extremely standard for tournaments and is a safe assumption to build your schedule around. Most major tournaments make this assumption as well.
