The 'Plunder Down Under' Invitational is the brainchild of Alicia ‘femFxRogue’ Oliver and Nicolas ‘TAChadmann’ Russo, combining to bring the South East Asian Starcraft II Community a Tournament ... with a twist.
The 16 Player Invitational (14 SEA invites, 2 international invites) will be run strictly Random vs Random on what we have determined to be the worst maps ever created. With the players unable to choose their main races and playing on maps which are not in the ladder pool they will be forced to think outside their normal styles and deliver fun and exciting games for those spectating on the stream.
The Tournament will be casted live by Leigh ‘Maynarde’ Mandalov of ACL Gold Coast, along with the Tournament creators, femFxRogue and TAChadMann.
EG.Machine! Must focus - Must get 200/200 banelings

Saddle Club Entertainment, you should have expected us!
We would like to thank our sponsors, the players in this event and Jasmine 'Kalikah' Kurda for the amazing original artwork!
That's a great idea. Sometimes you find that tournaments might all look the same. It's hard to make something "special" and keep it interesting. I think you have found the right recipe. wp !
Trying to organise a few show matches in the coming weeks.. just to give a taste of what it is like - and practice the casting style that will be required for the tournament - during this show match I hope people tune in a provided me with all the feedback I need to deliver some entertaining casts.
The games will be between invites to the tournament and other players that are happy to have some funny games; Hoping to have xGKing's two star players, Light and iaguz face off this week.
Maybe TargA would like to challenge someone on the invite list?..
The games will be played on the tournament map pool.. Bo3s or what ever the players want to do (bo101 RvR on the Fields?)...

Ladies and Gentleman, it is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Mr Bryce 'EG.Machine' Bates will not be able to attend the Plunder Down Under Invitational - something to do with MLG on that weekend or something?... never heard of it, I'd say this is bigger tho, right?
Anyway, while trying to organise another International replacement - many of our other contacts are also attending this MLG thing'o?... So despite our best efforts to find an invite from far away shores - we've decided to look internally for a replacement of Mr Machine.
With out further ado - please welcome Ray 'xGKingLight' Wang to the line up for the upcoming Plunder Down Under Invitational.
Xeria Gaming's Protoss powerhouse holds multiple top 20 GM spots at any time on the SEA server and with his new level of activity he will be amongst the favourites for this tournament. Additionally - Light has the ability to develop creative and powerful styles in his normal play, his funny games should be amazing!
We will be working with Machine to bring him into SEA events soon (perhaps Machine v SEA? or another tournament - he was quite looking forward to this event).. But until then, please welcome Light to the Plunder line up!!
Hey guys - I'm pleased to announce that this event will now be brought to you via two high quality streams! TteSports powered primary stream. AND
Mr System!! - www.system-tv.com will give you a secondary stream to cover more of the games!!
Tune in this weekend!.. there will be loads of great give-aways for the viewers and some hilarious games to watch!
