**Dox** · Thu, 12th-Apr-2012, 11:29 PM

We're excited to bring you an update regarding Blizzard's new eSports competition: the StarCraft II World Championship Series. The series consists of prize tournaments in nearly every part of the world that will bring players from all over the globe together to compete like never before.

ACL is proud to confirm that we will be working closely with Blizzard ANZ to bring you most of the qualifier events as well as the live National and Oceanic Final event later in the year where the best Starcraft 2 Players will be decided.

It all starts with the National Qualifiers, where players (maybe even you!) will battle it out for a chance to prove their mettle and qualify for the National Finals. The top players from each country will then compete in their regional Finals. From there, winners will earn the right to fight in the StarCraft II World Championship Series, where they’ll strive to win amazing prizes and the title of World Champion. We’ll have more details to share about this tournament in the very near future.

If you’re keen to be part of the action, join one of the eligible qualifiers for the Nationals listed below, and go head to head against others from your country. We'll be sharing further information on how to sign up as the event dates approach, so check back often for your chance to join.

ACL Brisbane Regionals (June 30th)
ACL Sydney Regionals (June 3rd)
ACL Melbourne Regionals (June 10th)
ACL Adelaide Regionals (June 17th)
ACL Melbourne Nationals (July 7th & 8th)
Perth RedFlag LAN #40 (July 14th & 15th)
Perth Barcraft Star League #1
APL Online (April 26th & May 6th)

Date: August 10th, 11th, & 12th
Location: Sydney, Australia
Prize Pool: $10,000 (Australia) + $15,000 (Oceania)
Number of Participants: 16
# of Finals Slots: 4

If you have any questions, please leave them in this thread and I'll compile a list below.

Chad followed it up by saying 1 spot is for NZ

Heres a question though

will all the qualifiers have equal seeds to the finals? (8 events so 2 a piece?) or will states with larger populations and in some cases higher caliber of players be given more seeds in their qualifiers?

Not sure I understand the question entirely. You can enter any qualifier, and as many qualifiers as you like. You're not restricted by locale. If you want to fly to Perth for a spot, you can.

**Dox** · Tue, 24th-Apr-2012, 5:00 PM

Added WCS_Entombed Valley to the map list in the OP.

In this edition of the map, neutral supply depots have been added to the ramp outside each spawn location. Spawns have also been updated so that players can no longer both spawn on the top or bottom side of the map. Furthermore, players will never spawn in a location which forces them to take their 3rd base towards their opponent.

Pretty sure unless its cross only you always have 1 player taking a base towards the opponent. Even cross is slightly towards the opponent. See (capital)Yang's post for emphasis

The top 4 finishers that didn't have seeds got the seeds, as was always the plan. So EdgE, Ninja, YoonYJ and tgun i assume

**|Erasmus|** · Wed, 11th-Jul-2012, 8:50 AM

Pox also finished third in his group... (comparitively equal to Edge/Ninja/Yoon), right?

Or are you basing this off points/map scores in groups too... I don't recall if Pox had the worst record of the third place finishers.

Im basing it off the ACL ranking system which put the others higher than Pox which means that Pox must have dropped more/won less maps than the others. If i remember correctly he was literally 1 map away from a WCS seed

Quick Comments

|Erasmus|:

Nooooooo... bl Pox :(

**syfChadMann** · Wed, 11th-Jul-2012, 9:57 AM

Yeah - afaik, Pox was on 2-3 where as Ninja, EdgE and Yoon were on 3-2 for groups (and tgun made it out of his group). there was a situation where Yoon and Tgun had already claimed spots, but Ninja was 2-2 with deth to play and EdgE was 2-2 with riiChard to play. if they both lost (or just one of them), there was going to be a tie breaker between: Pox, Pezza, (riiChard if he won) and Ninja/EdgE maybe another I can't quite remember >.>

To answer the flood of questions that have appeared on this page...

Q: Who qualified from the ACL Melbourne National event?
A: tgun, Ninja, EdgE, YoonYJ. This information can be found in the OP.

Q: Where is the event being held?
A: We're a few days away from revealing everything, including venue, commentators, brackets, and all that fun stuff. As you can imagine, ACL Melbourne was a priority.

Q: Is it being held in an internet cafe?
A: NO. The event will be held in a standalone "hall" with seating for 330 spectators (this info is also in the OP).

Q: What's happening on Friday?
A: Friday and Saturday are WCS Australia. Sunday is WCS Oceania.

Haha I just read that HD suffers from arachnophobia. If he comes to Australia he is gonna hear ALL about the bird eating tarantula that is native to the north east coast.

I'd love to go to WCS, however I'd be travelling from QLD alone (and don't really know anyone). If anyone has suggestions for accommodation in the area (with reasonable rates), I'd love to hear! Are hostels/backpackers worth looking at or a really bad idea?

I'll more than likely will be flying from GC Airport, we can co-ordinate flights and try to match it up. I'd assume Chadmann will be flying up as well from the same place. SundeR might be as well, heck even Targa.

There are quite a few of us here

Never stayed in backpackers in Sydney, but I did in Melbourne a few years ago, pregnant and with a small child, and it was fine. I'm sure there are both dodgy ones and decent ones around.

**Dox** · Wed, 18th-Jul-2012, 10:53 AM

Oh yeah, back in the old days of BW/War3 I stayed in some backpackers in the (Sydney) city, it was fine.

**inFeZa** · Wed, 18th-Jul-2012, 10:55 AM

I hate backpackers... but that's just me ahha.

TACeeSerps · Wed, 18th-Jul-2012, 11:00 AM

I'm looking at booking a hotel with 4 Single Beds close to the Venue with reasonable rates and should have one locked in shortly.
I'm flying in from Adelaide on the Friday morning and leaving the Sunday night.
So if anyone is looking for accom. for a reasonable price on the Friday or Saturday night or both, hit me up on here.
First come, first served. (South Australians get preference because I said so)
Add me on Skype - CeeSerpent or Facebook which is at facebook.com/c.evans04 (I think, FB is blocked at work so I cant check that).

Intoccabile19 · Wed, 18th-Jul-2012, 11:13 AM

ACL is proud to confirm that we will be working closely with Blizzard ANZ to bring you most of the qualifier events as well as the live National and Oceanic Final event later in the year where the best Starcraft 2 Players will be decided.

It all starts with the National Qualifiers, where players (maybe even you!) will battle it out for a chance to prove their mettle and qualify for the National Finals. The top players from each country will then compete in their regional Finals. From there, winners will earn the right to fight in the StarCraft II World Championship Series, where they’ll strive to win amazing prizes and the title of World Champion. We’ll have more details to share about this tournament in the very near future.

If you’re keen to be part of the action, join one of the eligible qualifiers for the Nationals listed below, and go head to head against others from your country. We'll be sharing further information on how to sign up as the event dates approach, so check back often for your chance to join.
