Starcraft II sold over 1 million copies within the first 24 hours of release and has already topped 3 million sales worldwide. The audience still continues to grow and the game's fan base is spreading rapidly across every city like Zerg Creep.
We understand the huge demand for a tournament, so to reward all of Starcraft II's dedicated supportive fans, gamerbase, in collaboration with Western Digital, SCAN and Dennis Publishing, are proud to announce our very own Starcraft II tournament with an amazing prize pool of over £2000!
The initial 128 player stage of the event will be held online, where the top 32 qualifying players will receive an invitation to a live LAN final held in our gamerbase Trocadero supercentre in London, equipped with brand new Scan Computers!
The finals will also be live streamed with a special guest shoutcaster from Team Dignitas!
The tournament will be capped at 128 entrants who will have to compete in an online qualifier in order to advance. The online qualifiers will take place over the 16th and 17th of October.
The final 32 players will qualify for the final stages of the tournament, to be held in gamerbase Trocadero, London (click to see location / map) on Friday 29th of October.
Both stages of the tournament will be best of 3 games in a single elimination format where the initial map will be chosen by administration and all subsequent maps will be the loser’s choice.
Registration will close on the 14th of October and brackets will be generated the next day.
The online qualifiers will require players to add their opponent using Battle.net's RealID (as they will already have submitted their Battle.net usernames and buddy codes on gamerbase.com), and the winner must submit the results.
This will continue until the player reaches the reach last 32, and they will be invited to attend the live finals in London. Players must ensure that they are able to attend the finals on Friday 29th of October before signing up for the event!
