Note: Registration fees have been reduced to $20 for the whole event. Games will start at 12noon AEST this time. Registering once will allow you to participate in all three online qualifiers. Players who earn qualification to the finals will not be allowed to play in any additional qualifiers. As for the conflict with ACL, Tony is working to resolve it so at least the Pro Players will be able to play at both events. Seeding for the qualifier brackets will be based on the recent ACL Sydney results.
The top 3 winners of each qualifier will receive automatic qualification to the $4,000 LAN Finals event in Melbourne. The top 3 each qualifier also receive prizes worth $1,250 in total!

Similar to previously organized SC2SEA tournament rules. Some notable ones include:
Walkovers - We are using a check-in system this time, so be sure to be there 20 minutes before match time, i.e 9.40am. If you are not there by 10am you will not appear in the bracket.
Disconnects after 5 minutes will result in a loss for the player who disconnected. The player who did not will be given the opportunity to give him a regame, but is not obligated to. Also, the admin may intervene if necessary to determine if there should be a regame or not.
Wrong map choice - Players make sure you check the map is wrong. If it isnt f the round has progressed there will be no regame. If the round has not progressed and the map is significantly different/wrong then there will be re-game
The Admin reserves the right to amend the rules in any way he sees fit. In our history of tournaments a situation where this was needed has not arisen but nevertheless it is important to include this as a disclaimer.

Q: I am a South Korean living in New Zealand / Singapore / Malaysia - can I play in this?
A: Yes

This tournament is open to everyone who is a SEA citizen or resident. This is the sponsors request as the finals will be held live in Melbourne and they wish all qualified players to attend the live event. If you are not sure if you are eligible due to your nationality/residency send me a PM.
Qualifier 1: 10am AEST Saturday, 2nd June Qualifier 2: 10am AEST Saturday, 9th June Qualifier 3: 10am AEST Saturday, 16th June
LAN Finals: Sunday, 8th July @ Melbourne
The top 3 winners of each qualifier will win an automatic invite to the LAN finals @ Melbourne. The remaining 5 slots will be awarded to the players with the highest points. It is therefore recommended to play in as many qualifiers as possible to increase your chance of qualifying.
This is still subject to change. 1st-3rd placing receives auto qualification and is removed from points pool. They will not be eligible to play in any more qualifiers.

5-8th - 8
