First qualifier is up tomorrow - if you were considering joining in, do it early as it will only get more difficult as the qualifiers progress!

Okay I've edited the Registration Link in the OP - it now points to Challonge instead of Playhem.

Unfortunately this means:

Those of you who registered via Playhem will need to register again. Sorry!
You MUST create a Challonge account.

When doing so, please consider the following:

You use an account that reflects your in-game ID. (eg. Don't create a challonge account called "PotatoHunter" if your in-game account is "NvDox")
You must register using an e-mail address that you check frequently. I'll need to get in touch with all participants after the event for prizes and whatnot. If I can't contact you, it'll make life difficult.
All replays must be uploaded (you can do this via Challonge) before you can proceed to the next round. GosuGamers are distributing replay packs for each event (this was the biggest perk of Playhem), so I've been having a nightmare of time trying to recover the replays from the first event.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to post in the thread. Next qualifier is this week!
