All of your games were stellar to watch Light, give yourself some credit.

The iaguz series alone was worth the whole trip.

Get one hd in Australia to broadcast it

They have crap ratings and do sport maybe this could benefit them and kick off e sports in aus.
Just convince them of the amount of revenue they could get from computer advertisements.

Hehe, I remember during that 5th game vs light, when I hit him with those units, I saw none of his units my first thought was "oh ****, he's pressuring me right now! this is awkward..."

Turns out it was a 2 gate expo instead. Hmm, unexpected. At least I got some probes!

To further reinforce how awesome it was to have Ace along, articles like this on global eSports sites never would have existed if Ace didn't attend. It's minor exposure, but it's better than nothing. (Congrats on Light and iaguz getting your names out there, even if they're not quoted as "high profile".)

Oh yes definitely, I felt like I overachieved in getting to the finals (though I was confident the entire way), but I definitely felt that I could have played better games in the finals if I wasn't so starstruck/tired. Ace was definitely beatable, just very very unlikely to do. & despite all my confidence before the finals I felt that I have conceded before the finals even began. I felt like someone like Azz or YYJ with more mental preparation would have probably fared better than me, but hey, it wasn't like I threw the games, just lost bizarrely at PvP mindgames that I usually feel much more comfortable with.

lol so many spoilers in this vid.

From the things you say we all know what's going to happen way before it does.

Not trying to be a dick, just sayin.

Fair tradeoff to get more of an insight into the players decision making imo. If you want someone to simply tell you what you're seeing, theres plenty of bronze level casters around.

Updated the Winner Bracket, InTime have posted a copy on their website.

(Click to Enlarge)

Won't get around to doing the Loser Bracket for a while since my computer is dead.

If you like you can send the LB results to me and I'll do it.

Does anyone know if the qualifiers for the next tournament will be single elimination or round robin like last time?
I'm happy to drive up from Canberra to get my ass kicked again but only if I get more than one game.

The first qualifier helped me to improve so much as to get me from the silver league I was in at the time to the platinum I achieved a few weeks after

Yeah I hope it's a similar qualifying format. Is there any word on a set date for the next event?

Other than benji stating it will be august/september the NRG hardcore gaming Facebook Page has posted a status update a couple of days ago:

"NRG competition coming to atomic magazine and http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/ really soon!
Keep your eyes peeled!"

I've been checking daily if not every few hours but nothing yet.

If you drive up, I'll definitely go too for more than one game... we should totally make up some ToR shirts or something so we can look totally pro... :P

I have an NRG monsoon.

It was worth 1900 around April.
Just a little fact

NvRossi · Thu, 23rd-Jun-2011, 2:27 PM

after talking with intime i don't believe there will be a NRG this year, i may have misunderstood but i believe next year there will be some big things to come.

Why do second rate players who wouldn't crack the world top 200 deserve $8000 just because they have to travel overseas to get here? The sponsors like the extra coverage and without it the prizepool would probably not be so high.

Without shit like this, we become the most unskilled, lazy server around. Having Ace come in and show us how far behind we are skillwise will only motivate us to get better.

Also, Noone in the Prize placings, heck probably noone at the tournament is dirty about the fact that he came and won. It isnt an Australian tournament, its a Starcraft 2 tournament, and just like a EU player just won MLG (which noone is up in arms about), a Korean won a Australian hosted tournament, and power to him.

I was only dirty that I didn't get to play him.
