Nice idea, can't wait for the epic match-ups. DRG vs Flash is bound to rile the fanboys.

I'm surprised he didn't switch to Zerg, probably saw the nerfs coming

/troll

Looks pretty cool altough i love seeing flash live i feel like they just wanted him so bad in this, i mean cmon, the KeSPA Invitational was a joke compared to all other tournaments.

I know Flash is popular and all.. but he has yet to actually reach the finals of anything in SC2, and you also call him the MLG/KeSPA champion which soO won..

Awesome tournament, but MKP is Terran, not protoss.

Also, prize money so small....... I know MLG does so much, but will be a great day when they can do just as much and include nice prize pools!

Or hold more small tournaments for less famous players to promote semi pro SC2 careers.

He's going full on hipster and doing the reverse switch: going from zerg to protoss.

On topic: pretty cool tourney idea, although Flash seems a bit outclassed. Unless he somehow improved greatly from what we last say of him :D
