International 8

+ [Ace] +

Ace(StarTale)
Jung Woo Seo is widely known as one of the most entertaining Korean eSports personalities. This Protoss star took 1st place in the $25,000 NRG Hardcore Gamer Tournament in Sydney, Australia - less than a month after winning the IEM Season V World Championship in Germany. After several appearances in the GSL Team League, Ace has shown the world he's not afraid to bust a move to sweeten a victory!

+ [Dimaga] +

Dimaga (mTw)
For the very few who weren't already familiar with the Ukrainian Brood War legend, Dmytro Filipchuk has showed the world on numerous occasions throughout Wings of Liberty exactly why he's one of the most feared Zergs out there. He captured the hearts of many during the GSL 2011 World Championship, being the first person in history to defeat Lim Jae Duk (NesTea) in a televised Zerg mirror.

+ [Grubby] +

Grubby
Even people who haven't ever watched a single professional WarCraft 3 series are familiar with Manuel Schenkhuizen. This Dutch WarCraft 3 Legend has accumulated over half a dozen world championships under the Orcish banner - and now brings that experience with him to StarCraft 2. In fact - just a few days ago, we saw Grubby defeat Dimaga 3-0 in his own invitational tournament! Might we see these two players go head to head for a revenge opportunity? We can only hope!

+ [GuineaPig] +

GuineaPig (MVP)
Although Kim Hyun Tae doesn't (yet!) have any championships to boast, this talented Korean has showcased some fantastic games during the GSL Team Leagues as one of the very few players brave enough to play Random on TV! Many people will attribute the popularity of this player to the hours of trivial facts delivered by GSL Commentator "Artosis". Definitely a dark horse in this event!

+ [iNcontroL] +

iNcontroL (Evil Geniuses)
If you're not familiar with the name Geoff Robinson, then there's a pretty good chance you've missed out on some of the most epic, hilarious and entertaining panels and events throughout Wings of Liberty. This charismatic American is widely appreciated as one of the pillars behind State of the Game - bringing both sharp humour and intelligent analysis to every show. Many will also recognise iNcontroL as the face of NASL Season 1, along with various other appearances at IPL and of course MLG. As he doesn't have any major wins under his belt yet, this Protoss star will be looking to shine this December.

+ [Jinro] +

Jinro (Team Liquid)
The Swedish Gorilla Terran. Jonathan Walsh. Who can forget that iconic moment we saw him use Mech against Protoss in the GSL? But it wasn't just any Protoss that felt the wrath of the man they once called FrozenArbiter. It was Jang Min Chul - the undisputed world champion at the time. Following this success, we've seen the MLG Dallas 2010 winner rise and fall through the ranks of the GSL several times. Today marks the 1 year anniversary since his last major championship - is it time we saw another?

+ [qxc] +

qxc (FXOpen)
His name is Kevin Riley - you might have heard of him. The Bandanna Terran became an overnight star in Korea as the world watched in awe. One by one, the entire Incredible Miracle team fell like dominoes to this American legend back in the first season of the GSL Team League - including the Terran many regard as the best player in the world - Jung Jong Hyun (MVP). Qxc has popularised many of the staple builds in todays metagame, whilst also pioneering a wide range of unorthodox styles. Will we see another legendary Ka-me-ha-me-ha from this hilarious character?

+ [ToD] +

ToD (FnaticMSI)
If the name Yoan Merlo looks familiar, you were probably a pretty big fan of the WarCraft 3 scene. "YoanM" stood alongside Grubby amongst the elite "4 Kings" team, securing himself numerous top finishes in global events including Blizzcon, WCG and CPL - to name a few. Known for his impressive micro, this ex-Human player has really started to show that he is one of the strongest PvP players in the world - taking first place in numerous global events over players such as MaNa, Adelscott, Alicia and Kamikaze. Currently residing in Korea, ToD is training harder than ever, and we'll see just how much that has paid off for him on December 4th.

This event will be posting a prize pool of over $2,000 cash, with the possibility of hardware being thrown in by additional sponsors (more info soon!).

Two concurrent live streams will operate throughout the event, providing coverage of as many games as possible - allowing you to keep up with your favourite players!

Keep an eye on this thread closer to date for any changes in the line-up (3 of the invited players are still tentative) along with prizes, brackets and stream info !

Krrn has repeatedly demonstrated his passion for eSports, having donated a huge sum to the Tt eSPORTS Charity Challenge a few months ago. He's back again to help bump up the prize money of this event, so please show him your utmost love and support.

+ [Maynarde] +

Dissatisfied with a meagre $2,000, the manly Maynarde slew a horde of dragons with nothing but his fists, plundering their treasure hoards and graciously donating the spoils to this event. Much love to Maynarde!

They've gone ahead and offered some great Tt products - including an autographed White-Ra shirt - which will be given away to the stream viewers during the event.
