This is awesome news.

Amazing how one of the qualifying Australian state's prizes alone exceeds the Singapore final national prizes! And free flights to gold coast wow imba! How many people from au qualify for world finals?

Entry cost is a way too high though, not sure the can get too many participants. $20 would be more reasonable imo.

any news on format of games etc? i don't think i'll go if its not some group stage thing

The general idea is that TLS wants to encourage people to participate in these events even if you feel that you have no chance in the AU finals. But I'll talk to Dave about the entry fee once I get over this cold. I'm due to catch up with him in Sydney next week anyway.

Just wondering if anyone has any more information on the Brisbane qualifiers for this? Is it still going to be in August?

Would there be any problems in going to the Sydney one to qualify if you live in Brisbane? (You were allowed to do this in Broodwar)

Also where to register?

No information has been released on the Melb or Bris events. I imagine you would be able to travel to Syd to attempt to qualify, are you sure its worth the travel however?

How is the tournament gonna work? like its at heaps of venues, how do you get 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc? is it at each venue or one central venue?

There is alot of details missing.

I'm interested in attending for sure.

Sure a $70 flight for ~$1,600 in cash and prizes, makes sense to me :P

If you win ofc, and with players like Light, PiG, YYJ, iaguz etc from Sydney, could be quite difficult to.

This is true, but played vs most of them on the ladder with my smurf and had decent results.

And if i stay in for the Brisbane one I feel like I have less chance of winning, as per glade being there and i lost vs him 1-2 in last GO4sc2 and my pvz is weakest m/u.

Will be fun =)
