ALT Starcraft is excited to announce the third installement of The Gauntlet Showmatch Series!

This time around we have stepped our game and have invited our most fearsome opponent yet! It is none other than the bandana Terran himself, (T)qxc! Well known for his immense understanding of the Terran race, the recent graduate from Harvey Mudd now has the time and freedom to pursue StarCraft II full time. Well known for his all-kill of Incredible Miracle in GSTL, his insane ability to multitask drops and pressure, and unique aggression, qxc has always been a formidable force. But now, with his attention focused solely on StarCraft II, qxc will be accomplishing huge feats in the months to come. Can Team ALT possibly take down this monster of a scholar?

For those unfamiliar with our Gauntlet series, it is a simple premise: Team ALT challenges a professional player to a 5 game showmatch. The catch? The pro only has himself vs 5 members of Team ALT. For each game, the winner will be awarded $20,with an all kill adding up to a potential $100! It's certainly a marathon for the pro and it will be a testament to his endurance for qxc should not take our players lightly! They have had the time to prepare for his style and qxc will have to face all 3 races. We promise you these matches will be a nail biting fight to the death (not really, but you get it)!

I thought this was the NASL Gauntlet for while. I was disappointed, but actually not by much. The only thing cooler than good KotH tournaments are good outmatched style tournaments.

We've actually had the Gauntlet for 2 months prior to NASL's gauntlet. Totally different concepts though.

And if you think about it, the "outmatch" parameter is really fielded by the fact that qxc, while has the skill and notoriety behind him, it can also work against him. Our players have the advantage of researching him and knowing his strengths and weaknesses. Every Gauntlet we've played thus far has been extremely close (despite what the results may express).
