ASUS ROG reveals half of the 32 invited players for the upcoming $20 000 USD Starcraft II Tournament at 24.-25.February at ASSEBMLY Winter 2012.
One month to go until the third ASUS ROG StarCraft II Tournament launches in Helsinki, Finland. We have sent out more invites for the players who showed their interest by applying for the tournament. In addition, the schedule overlap with MLG Winter Arena forced us to re-comfirm every existing invite to prevent further surprises. As a result, two out of the eight announced names,
Grubby and 
Sheth, respectfully gave up their spot in the tournament for the chance to qualify for the MLG event.The roster for ASUS ROG StarCraft II Tournament has lost two players but at the same time gained ten more and it is looking awesome already. Todays announced invites are:

NightEnD - FnaticRaidCall\ Moon
This adds up to 16 invited players which means we are half way in completing the line-up. We are still accepting applications for the tournament, see instructions below. Furthermore, because of the MLG overlapping schedule, we are sparing the last eight slots in the tournament to be decided after the North American MLG Winter Arena qualifier. This gives the EU and NA players an opportunity to qualify for MLG and still have a chance for a slot in the ASUS ROG StarCraft II Tournament.
Players - How to apply
To play in the tournament, an invite must be requested by sending an email to info@peliliiga.fi with the subject of “ASUS ROG StarCraft II” and details describing at least the full name, nationality, player name and achievements of the applicant. Applications will be received until the end of January 2012. Note that a player may only be granted a slot in the tournament, no expenses are covered.
