SC2SEA.com is proud to be hosting the Starcraft 2 qualifiers for the the Asia e-Sports Cup held at the Tokyo Game Show in Japan. Sort of like a mini-wcg for the SEA/ANZ region, the Asia e-Sports Cup will unite the best CS and Starcraft 2 gamers across the SEA/ANZ region. The tournament's main sponsor is Alienware.
Registration has begun for the Australian, Thai and Malaysian qualifiers to be held this week.
Registration is absolutely free and has to be done on the CyAC website, our tournament partner.
It has a lot of cool social features (e.g you can comment on anything tournament and any match!) so be sure to check it out.
The organizer has specified only citizens can play in their respective qualifiers and represent their respective nations in Japan.
You need to have a Starcraft 2 SEA "game account" tagged to your account registered on their website. As all qualifiers will be online, identity verification might be requested if suspicious activity is suspected and strict punishments will be handed out to offenders.
The Australian qualifiers will be streamed by Team Immunity and players can sign up for only ONE qualifier. The sole winner of each of these two qualifiers will battle it out at the GESC LAN finals the following week in Melbourne. Should the player NOT be already qualified for GESC/ACL during that weekend, Team Immunity has offered to pay for the flight expenses to Melbourne. nirvAnA and BakaInu will be responsible for overseeing the overall tournament qualifiers and any inquires can be directed to them.

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

Great to some less well known players signing up! Tournaments like these don't come often and its a great opportunity to pit yourselves against the very best of SEA.
Well ****, that really sucks. I was told to play my match vs Ninja and "just watch the VOD's later"
My bad I assumed that they auto saved like twitch
mind you, the Lower Bracket was waiting for your game to finish before you even started your game so yeah, I assume deth has the replays on his PC? just ask him to skype them
