It’s that time again; a new season and a new shot at getting into Group Play at a live Championship, where you’ll compete for international bragging rights and a huge stack of cash. The Fall StarCraft II Online Qualifiers are about to begin, and you can be a part of it all.
This Fall, we will be running both Open and Invite-Only Online Qualifiers. Each Qualifier will run in three regions: NA, EU and KR. The top players from the Open Online Qualifiers will move on to the Invite-Only round. The top players from each region of the Invite-Only Qualifiers will win all-expenses paid trips to the Fall Championship in Dallas on November 2-4, where they’ll start in Group Play.
Later this week, we’ll be contacting the players who have already earned the right to compete in the Invite-Only Online Qualifiers, including the Top 88 from Raleigh and more; see the full list of invited players. If you don’t receive an invitation, don’t worry–get a pass for the Open Online Qualifiers and that trip to Dallas could still be yours.
Passes for the Open Online Qualifiers cost $10 and are on sale now.

Man, why does it feel that MLG is falling out of the No.1 foreign tournament throne?
Really like MLG, but they are not as hot as last year.

MLG was still pretty big for winter season, summer dropped off a bit due to player pool and this season lost a bit of hype due to MvP

There's under a week left to book your hotel room at one of the 3 hotels listed in the opening post, with the special MLG Rate. Make sure you book yours soon before the hotels in the area are sold out!

|

Picking whatever race we wanted for each match we played. Like, Round 1, I decide to play Protoss, Round 2, Zerg, and so forth... I'm just checking this is still okay as it has been at the previous ones, correct?
