Yay for eSports! Two things I want to quickly highlight for people who can't read (isn't that everyone on the internet these days?), firstly the server was moved from our previous announcement to be on NA. This is because some pros are having trouble with SEA ping atm.
Secondly, you must physically check in before 11.00 am aest. This is so we can have a game ready to go for the stream on time and so that we can remove people from the brackets before they are generated, because walkovers are killing eSports :P.

1. the qualifiers will begin at 11 am. But CHECK IN opens at 10:40 am and closes at 11:00 am if you have not checked in before 11am you will not be in the bracket. So set those alarm clocks to make sure you dont sleep in
2. To check in please PM either my self (Alpha) or DrGooSe in game.
3. 2 groups to meet in during the qualifier. These will be Groups not chat channels
SEANA Results: reporting results to admins (no general chat please).
SEANA Chat: general chat between players (we encourage you to join in!)
4. Reminder that the finals series of the day MUST BE PLAYED to qualify, if both players agree on doing a Bo3 rather then a Bo5 we will accept that.
5. That this qualifier will be held on the NA server due to some lagg issues that playings have been experiencing
GL and HF to every one. We at mGG are really looking foward to seeing this tournament go ahead.
Also a reminder that Sign ups close TONIGHT at 12 AEST. So if you have been putting off signing up, now is the time to do it.

Sorry about Dox. Your boys need more power ranks so that it doesnt happen. Glade to win all the masters cups from now on. Please remember to let us know results in the game though, not here .

Thanks everyone who played today. Gratz go to Jazbas for taking out Moonglade in the finals and Rival for taking 3rd place against Azz. We had some teething problems in the begining but managed to get everything back on track and on schedule soon thereafter. We'll take a look at our process and formats and get some feedback from you all to make sure that the next one is even bigger and better.
