All players with an 'x' in their clantag get a bye to round 2? :P

[nirvAnA]

since when have "pro teams" become the only tags players can be associated with? this isnt NASL!

of course pro teams take precedence over clans during representation so deth/pinder/yoon represent their respective teams first always even though they belong to both but put jim/pig under aLt please.

glade/bielsko being the only players who are truly teamless/clanless. who is bielsko btw?

[FvRsolis]

@nirvAnA, apparently he is some 'scrub' who was a ridiculously low level and managed to go through the adelaide qualifiers. They apparently had cosplayers playing in their event too (it was held during another event that is similar to comicon).

Quick Comments

nGenLight:

HEY! WHATS WRONG WITH COSPLAYERS PLAYING? & Bielsko is no scrub!

[TAEdgE]

@Solis don't know where you got that from. Bielsko is not the calibre of the other players that's for sure, but from that it may seem he is a random noob as well haha. He has been top 50 on SEA GM and is high masters on NA. I didn't want to be the one to defend him because most people believe i should have played and gone to WCG, but he earnt his spot, and has beaten GGFighT (low GM level on NA), Voices and Spider in the Adelaide LAN's. Cheesy lil' fellow though

Quick Comments

	nirvAnA:
	nGenLight:	I saw him play at LAN, he was pretty good, but yes he would be the big underdog coming into this, as with the other Protosses xD

There will be an online qualifier with an entry fee for the 12th and final seat. Details this week.

Trying to think of a format with 12 slots and the only one I can think of is a groupstage of 2 groups of 6 players followed by a 4/8 player bracket?

Or will there be a few byes inserted into the brackets?

Or do I need to wait for details this week? :P

Theres a few Pro Aussie teams looking at getting into sc2 with a player pickup or 2, if they read this post and see them as unsigned, it gets them noticed.
