I'm a bit skeptical mainly for the reasons people have pointed out already. I also spoke to a friend who regularly attends Respawn LANs and he's said they at Respawn have had trouble getting SC2 to work in the past, alongside a couple of negative opinions about Gigabyte.
That said, if it does get going, good luck to those invited
It's sad that money is thrown intermittently at the sc2 community with little or no organisation. Tournaments with this sort of prize pool could be advertised for months ahead of time so that it could actually attract the best Australian and foreign players and produce the highest quality matches.
That being said its great to see interest in sc2. I just really wish whenever anyone decides to create a tournament, whether it have a $10 prize pool or $5000, that a telekinetic link would open between them and Dox and he would explain to them how its meant to be done.
Well on the upside, I'm sure those attending Brisbane WCG won't have to contend with Glade knocking them around as hes already qualified for the nationals and surely will go dominate this LAN instead.
