Next Wednesday, the 28th of August, the Gigabyte StarsWar League will be kicking off, with 2 familiar faces mixing it up with some of China, Korea and Taiwan's strongest.
Groups will commence at 9:00PM AEST with an English Stream yet to be determined. There is talk of ESL/ESV trying to put something together, but so far all we have is the Chinese NeoTV stream. (Keep checking back for updates)
Group stages will continue on Thursday the 29th, and again the following Wednesday/Thursday.
The Ro8 onwards will be played live in Shanghai, and will be Single Elimination.

Someone local should defs get in and organise the english stream. Seems like the only people making enough money to be worth the trip to china though would be 1st place.
