Brackets

Brackets are automatically generated when the tournament begins and will be posted directly into the sign up thread so you will see who your opponent is, with ease, throughout the tournament. When the brackets are created, it is your sole responsibility to find your opponent, their character code and add them in-game and begin your matches.

Pleasure ensure you have your correct SEA SCII name and character code in your sc2sea.com profile, which can be found here. This will help reduce any problems people may face when having to search for their opponent's character name & code.

No coaches have been arranged for the winner. That's BSG.

$10 prize to the winner, and the top 8 from this tournament qualify for the $100 Masters Cup.

Haha I played like a ****** retard watching my replay. Changed up from my usual style because I have some mental hurdles cross position PvZ on Metalopolis (never won in those positions on that map in practice games) T_T Looking at my unit composition and lack of either DTs or a 2nd robo or forge made me WTF T_T

I wish Artanis' commentary didn't get cut out, stitch remember what he said!? Might have to grudge match!

Omg. I know. I'm really unhappy about cutting all sound off first game. That was just completely gay! I'm so deeply sorry for all viewers at the first game. I had to set up xSplit (Which I never had done) within 10 Minutes for streaming. It was an epic game, Artanis said the most hilarious things about you deL (But let's keep that a secret)

deL · Mon, 2nd-May-2011, 12:54 AM

Yeah I heard you giggling at the start lol.
