Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them you're a mile away and you have their shoes. Playing Protoss is like driving automatic, playing Terran is like driving stick.

Hey guys, have been working tirelessly over the past 4 days to put this together. Have also been playing HotS every waking moment. So excited for the possibilities and strategies we are going to see in this tournament. The amount of meta game shifting I have experienced leads me to believe we are going to see some truly unique playstyles here. This is the first of hopefully more to come, lets make it a special community event. We may have some guest casters on for early rounds in the tournament as well so stay tuned.

Special Thanks:
Aldenx: Main Admin and Stream Technician (if you like what you see get in touch with him)
Chris "Rezudox" Burke: All tournament graphics and overlays (same goes for him)
Walter from Astro: Excellent gaming peripherals and also eager to work with esports driven projects
Kevin Lin from Twitch: Primary supporters and incredibly easy to work with. Community driven mindset and projects

And most of all, the excellent players who are participating in this event and showcasing their new skills to everyone.

I like the idea of a just for fun beta, but offering prize money for a game that isn't competitively furnished seems...weird

The players are putting in time and effort, and we just feel like they should be rewarded for playing at such a high level

Money can't hurt right?

Very interesting, though i find it the prize money ridiculous for a 2 week old beta. Someone could just play an OP strategy and win 1250$

IIRC 6am Wednesday for RO8 and 3am Thursday for semi-finals and finals.
Not sure how this is playable or watchable for Europe.

Many would argue that WoL still isnt even finished. I mean, the latest patch was only a month or two ago. Should the pros not have made any money playing WoL for the past couple years?

That is absolutely stupid comparison. It's a new beta compared to a 2 years matured full game that got a small change
