Quick Comments

DGWoLF:

one second was in a rush fixing link right now

[DGWoLF]

I would like to Apologize on behalf of the GPD Admins for the Short notice. I have PMed a fair few people from clans i have on skype about the tourney.

NEWS
It is being talked amongst admins to make the GPD Weekly, For the next 7 weeks i can commit to doing every sunday night as i am working Day Shift at my current rotation at work.
Also Players are aloud to play on the NA server but MUST return to SEA Asap to report the scores to Admins.
Since allowing players to sign up with their NA/Eu account but play on SEA due to the other server being their main laddering account. If an admin requests to see your Main laddering account, Players are REQUIRED to link them to that account . Disqualifications could Happen if not presented.

Again i am deeply sorry for the short notice. GLHF
