Im with everyone here. Postpone it since it coincides with Brisbane WCG and give more notice for the invites + open tournament. Best to PM Dox and then liase with him, he will provide some great feedback to help you run the tournament smoothly and successfully. Not saying that you can't run it without him, i'm sure you could but it will be sooooo much better with his feedback and all the competitors will be much happier, turnout bigger, leading to much more happy sponsors.
Hey Nirvana just a little insight into the comp the "GIGABYTE E-Sports Championships 2011 Starcraft 2 Invitational tournament" is going to be happening a RESPAWN LAN #22 its a mutli game LAN (COD, CS, TF2, etc etc) that occurs in Melbourne, Australia probably 3-4 times a year, so GIGABYTE would have to pull their tournament from the LAN and then find a new LAN venue/event to join with (which City Hunter would be more than happy to do )
I will be trying to contact Gigabyte tomorrow to see if we can get more details and make them aware of the communities concerns with it clashing with WCG Brisbane as I believe the person posting this is simply a member of the community and not the tournament organizer
