The NationWars is a worldwide team league organized by O'Gaming TV. In it, players represent their nations instead of their professional teams.
The NationWars III prize pool starts at $15 000 USD, and will be increased by 50% of net donations made throughout the tournament on the French and English streams. This way, you can add extra stake to the games! And it starts today!
In each competition of NationWars, a number of countries are selected to participate in the tournament. Players are able to sign up to represent their country and the community votes to select each country's 3 players. As of season 2, the top 4 teams are invited to an offline finals in Paris.
Matches are a best of 7, All-Kill Format. Each team chooses a starting player in advance to compete in the opening game. When a player loses a game they are eliminated and the team chooses a new player to represent them next. The winner continues on to the next game. The fourth and final player chosen by a team is often referred to as the "ace", since the team's survival rests on their shoulders. The ace is a player who has lost before and has been "revived".
Australia, New Zealand and Japan are in the qualifiers:
The Top 4 teams from the qualifiers join Norway, Mexico, France, Poland, Korea, China, Taiwan, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Netherlands in the finals!
Was getting back into the game but focused on finishing the campaign (all the way from SCI original to LotV) without looking at any teamliquid or sc2sea.com and took about 6 days while this was on.. damn it!
And i didn't notice before, but R16 is group stage? Should be fun.

O'Gaming TV provided KeSPA a list of the people voted for, and KeSPA will be telling O'Gaming TV which players will be available to play. If none, it will likely default to non-KeSPA Koreans (if any are on the list).

Did the Aussie boys have to play on EU server? Pretty bad result for the boys but not too bad considering the strength of the opposition. Better luck next time lads.
