The big 50! Has come up really fast! Where does the time go? 50 GPD's now, plus 16 Masters Cups. All really fun events, thanks to all who have played, watched, casted, and helped admin. Personally i'd like to thank Nirvana and the sc2sea team for their support, and for all the casters who dedicate their Sunday afternoons to cover our events. Massive thanks to those who have helped admin on occasion when i have been unable. Thanks also to our new GPD supporters and sponsors for coming onboard recently, Criven and team dGG.
