Yes, they're all confirmed.

As with the last qualifier, if any of the winners pull out, 9th - 12th will be contacted to take the position.

Unfortunately one of the players that qualified from the second event has had to pull out due to Visa concerns.

CG.Shieldz will be replaced by

IXL.syntox. Congrats syntox! We'll see you in Sydney!

Any prize info yet? We're a few days away.

Pandan · Tue, 2nd-Oct-2012, 12:20 PM

As far as I am aware; the only 100% confirmed prize is that we (GAMECOM Australia) are sending the winner to France for ESWC.

verified here: http://www.eswc.com/en/2012/game/sc2 and here: http://www.eswc.com/en/2012/qualifying/28

EDIT: ACL Staff to confirm if there are further prizes, I'm not in the loop on that.

Should be easy enough to predict based on career points, i'll scribble something up soon.

**Dox** · Tue, 2nd-Oct-2012, 1:07 PM

Okay I've done my best to try and predict the bracket based on career points. I dunno if they'll actually do it this way though.

Mafia 1st round ;( I sure hope you're wrong :p

I've updated the OP with various information based on what was posted in the thread. When someone from ACL can do a proper update, please remove that line in the OP. Thanks!

ACL has nothing to do with prizes for this event, as it is not an ACL event. Prizes have not yet been announced, though I believe they are in the process of being finalised.

The bracket can and will most likely be released tonight. It will not just be based on straight up ACL points. Players who choise not to continue playing after they qualified for the event will not be seeded as highly as players who placed 1st/2nd etc in the Online Qualifiers. This was always made clear in the announcement of the Online Qualifiers. Once I have talked to Linc (Norksman) tonight then we shall release the bracket.

Further information will be released to players via email shortly.

I would have done it the same as this - but include some points from the online rounds.. similar point distribution to the Online Rounds....?

However I realise this is not exactly an ACL event.. but EB Expo/TLS so I understand if the points system isn't used. But it IS a good and fair barometer for seeding.

I find it unlikely that more prizes will be announced. I've found if they don't announce it upfront, it normally doesn't happen.

Prizes increase interest in the tournament (pre advertising). There is no need to do that anymore as all the players are decided and going.

Any prizes announced now is just giving away free money, which noone likes doing.

Obviously never had any experience with TLS - these guys are so incompetent that they probably didn't arrange the prizes till now - didn't even think about the marketing potential >.<

Also announcing where or even IF there will be a stream would go a long way to increasing excitement for their tournament, but that hasn't happened yet either (as far as I'm aware).
