Thanks for the invitation! I've just recently resumed playing and practising starcraft (now that i have a bit of free time post study), but my competitive drive is definitely back! So this tournament should be a good early measure of where i'm at, and what i need to improve on.
All the guys invited so far are the top of diamond, if not solid Masters, so it should be a tough challenge. Looking forward to the games, great to see GPD events still going strong

And I should be part too right?!1!1?? Kappa

Yes this edition of the GPD cup is interesting with many of the participants having been promoted to . This is of course, a happy outcome but having this many at one go is also providing us an unique experience for this edition with the most discussion ongoing amongst the admins with regards to the wildcards.

Stay tuned to the announcement of the next 2 wildcards

[mGGNemesis]

This player has been participating actively and doing pretty well in the GPDs BUT never quite enough to make it to the finals. Will he be able to take out the heavy weights and show the potential that lies within...

Looking forward to this!

[Fullmetal]

hmm just noticed dgtv vs fade clanwar starts an hour after this. I want to try play in both so hopefully this dosn't take too long!

[mGGNemesis]

The GPD Cup is double elimination of BO3s except for the lower brackets. I cannot guarantee how long it will take. Previously it has taken as long as any other GPD opens.

Fair enough. I'll probably try prioritise playing in this so it shouldn't be a problem for you guys.
I'm sure i'll still have enough time to play in both anyway.

mGGNemesis:

that might still work out somehow especially if u arent the first player to have to play in the clanwar

[Eddie]

Not to be outdone...

[mGGNemesis]

Sorry for the delay for announcing #3. It was a long search for a which failed. Apparently all the has gone missing or have busy schedules (or maybe the s scared them off ) It took some 3 days of discussions and asking around etc, but we are now ready to introduce...
