It’s here ladies and gentlemen. After almost half a year on and the Dox Cup is back and this time it’s bigger and better! How much bigger you ask? Well, let’s just say it’s about THREE HUNDRED PERCENT (based on actual calculations based on the First Prize) bigger! What else you say? Well, how about having eight International players participating? That’s right, EIGHT International players that you should recognize even if you were hiding under a rock to begin with
A quick rundown of the sixteen players who are either confirmed or likely to be there, I present to you:-
The winner of the first Dox Cup, SEA representative in most major internationals and all round badass returns to defend his title and I am sure everyone will be watching him cause there’s so much from the community for him Beware the might of the Swarm!
Runner-up of Dox Cup #1, Gimli as he is affectionately called, is so pumped up that he said, “Jinro and Dima(ga) gonna TASTE MY AXE.” Aptly put good sir.
The player, who qualified for the World Cyber Games 2011 is confirmed to play as confirmed by jump, the Team Thailand Manager, and I am sure he is looking forward to winning the tournament as a warm-up to his WCG Campaign.
The nicest Swarm coach you will likely meet as well running his own stream show, not keeping your eye on this is like not looking at you’re girlfriend’s
This versatile resident rose from the ashes of to become one of the s most players have to beat in order to move on. I will tell you this, when it comes down to a bet, I will always split fifty to bet on Rossi to come out on top even when the odds are stacked against him.
The 19 year old iPhillipines who wishes to become a progamer will definitely be looking forward to do his best to add the Dox Cup #2 to a list of wins he is steadily growing.
Also known in real life as Jung Woo Seo, he took 1st place in the $25,000 NRG Hardcore Gamer Tournament in Sydney, Australia about a month after winning the IEM Season V World Championship in Germany. He’s also known for being very entertaining so having him in the Dox Cup should give viewers (and players) a good run for their money.
If you played Brood War, Dmytro Filipchuk should be a familiar name to you. A fearsome member of the Swarm, going toe to toe with him will need some guts since he took out popular and revered fellow Swarm member NesTea in a televised mirror matchup in the GSL World Championship 2011.
A household name in Warcraft 3, this former Orc is now marching onwards. And he has been a very busy man, taking 38 LAN tournaments, 8 of which are World Championships. Something to look forward to? The potential for a Grubby vs Dimaga match cause the former beat the latter in his own Invitational.
Showcasing some great games, you would ask yourself, “Why does he not any high profile championship wins yet?” Well, all great things come with time and who knows, he might just surprise us all this time Definitely the dark horse in this event
Never heard of a Mr. Geoff Robinson? Then you've missed out on some of the most epic, hilarious and entertaining panels and events throughout Wings of Liberty. The charismatic American doesn't have any major wins under his belt yet but this follower of Auir will be looking to shine this December.
The Swedish Gorilla Terran from Team Liquid. I can remember that iconic moment I watched him crush his Protoss opponent, the one and only oGsMC, with a Mech army. He’s had some ups and downs recently but who knows? This may just be the time he decides to show us the power of the Dominion again.
Also known as the Bandana Terran, he is the reason for the many staple builds has (begin the QQ-ing please ) while still coming up with his own unique is not TLO-esque builds. Will we see some amazing gameplay just like how we all saw him take out Incredible Miracle in Season 1 of GSTL? Who knows?
If you remember his name, Yoan Merlo, you must have been one hell of a Warcraft 3 fan. The former Human player who now plays holds an impressive record from his WC3 days which he wants to translate to his Starcraft portfolio. Should be an manageable task seeing as how he has great micromanagement, a gift from his WC3 days, and winning games over fellow .
So, whether you’re an average joe player or a closeted progamer or some lowly player, the question I ask you now is,
“Do you dream of playing in the big leagues against the best of the best?”
Well then here is YOUR chance! Come the 3rd of December you can sign up for one of the BIGGEST tournaments in the whole SEA region. By now, you should already know what I’m talking about. I mean the
Dox Cup #2

Azz had a chance at this one point in the game where he had a nexus and 6 probes. But he found a way to **** it up from there 3 times in a row - Iaguz
This was mentioned on State of the Game today. I happened to be watching for about 20 minutes and i think it was towards the end of the show when Incontrol said something about this tournament.
Maybe ask him if he can hype it up some more/spread the word. he is apart of the kings of hype, EG.
