at the time we decided on 64 player qualifier because of the small prize pool at the time, if we get another 64 players to make it 128, im sure me and saechiis will discuss it. Also the pimpest play prize is much larger because one of our more recent sponsors donated with the condition that is all his donation be added to the pimpest play prize.

No Day9 will be unable to make the event. Tasteless is not cheap to get so that's a no go on him.

It will be Raelcun and another caster from the iCCup TV end of things

Beta is down now, so why not make a commentator-contest on replays and the winner is allowed to cast the games. Would be some entertainment in the down-phase and it is also an opportunity for talented casters to get known, so they can commentate other tournaments aswell

We already agreed that iCCup would cast the event so even though it's a nice idea, it can't be done. We've endlessly tried to get Day 9 to co-commentate but to no avail.

Feel free to start a "Day 9 should co-commentate the GG Invitational" petition, I'll sign

I love day9 as much as the next guy, but a change is as good as a holiday. Why not have someone else give it a go too?

I agree, even if he could make it I would rather see him play than cast ( we get to hear him cast almost every night). caster diversity is a good thing.
