Quick Comments

[inFeZa]

Oh whoa! I missed a lot of stuff in this thread!

Train hard, play well, lets have some awesome games!

[ROOTPetraeus]

so is there only the 1st place prize?

[Norksman]

Just a reminder - If you can't make the qualifier on Sunday September 16 or the Expo October 5-6 please let me know either in this thread or by email lincoz@gmail.com and I'll remove you from the registered list.

Out of the 64 signups for the first qualifier we had 25 no shows. It's a lot of walkovers to process and it screws up the bracket.

[TAminimat]

I won't be able to play on the sunday.

Quick Comments

Norksman:

Cheers dude.

[NvRossi]

Norksman, as there is the IEM Guangzhou Stage 3 qualifier on at the same time, will it be possible for myself to play in both?

as i understand the EB games expo qualifier begins at 10:30am and stage 3 of the IEM qualifier will begin at 3pm.

i hope this is all cool and there wont be too much overlap!

I was admining the IEM along with helping Norksman with the EB qualifier last Sunday, We managed to allow players to play in both with out holding brackets up too much. Just have to maintain communication with the admin's of both events I guess..

[Eos]

Hey when will the brackets open for the tournament?

[Norksman]

@Rossi - We'll accommodate as best we can. Just keep in touch with us about when you're playing etc.

Registrations for Qualifier #2 close at 9am tomorrow morning (Sunday 16th). So if you're still looking to play, there is time to email me at lincoz@gmail.com. I'll publish the brackets shortly thereafter.

Update on qualified players from Qualifier #1

In addition to xGKing.Poker, fray`EdgE has pulled out and due to Tt.PiG winning the IeSF spot in Korea he will be unable to participate also. This means that the following players have qualfiied in their stead:

Norksman:

Unfortunately yes, it's too late.

[stronK]

hey i may not be able to make in time for the first round, but please don't eliminate me completely for the losers bracket. thanks, just having some difficulities with something atm..

[Legionnaire]

I've already turned down playing from the first qualifier. And i forgot to say don't add me to the 2nd one.

Is it rude of me to play if i'm not going to the finals?

Should i let theyoungone take my place ?:P

EB have not yet announced prizes for the EB Expo E-Sports tournaments, besides the flights and accommodation for ESWC for Starcraft 2.

[Norksman]

@Legionnaire

Will forfeit your games in the bracket.

As I'm most likely ditching EB Expo for IESF I would like any more information you guys have access to on this. If you could PM or skype me that'd be fantastic as if it's a heavy prize pool it quite possibly is more worth my while to go to EB instead.

[Norksman]

The following players have qualified into the EB Games Expo E-sports event!

iM.Mafia
Nv.mOOnGLaDe
iM.tgun
MF.iaguz
TA.Spider
Nv.Rossi
CG.Shieldz
Nv.JazBas

Congratulations and good luck!

You need to email lincoz@gmail.com confirmation of your attendance within 3 DAYS Remember that it's for two days starting on Friday 5th October in Sydney and that you need to organize your own travel and accommodation.

Are these three replacement players confirmed for attending? I assume HuT is 100% but the others? Just wondering
