Last time we saw a bunch of our guys take a swing at the Winter Arena Qualifiers. Some did well, some did not so well. Others got screwed over pretty severely. The site was broken, the brackets were bugged and the admins were less than ideally responsive. We can only assume that all of these issues have now been resolved, so cheer on our SEA reps as they'll be firing up in less than 30 minutes!

[Asrathiel]

GLHF everyone!

No stream we can watch?

[breadfan]

I am so stoked for this, I'm just going to be spamming F5 on this page all day.

Want to buy replays please, will pay in sweet tender lovin'.

[Dox]

Event page says, "There is no stream for this tournament."

*shrug*

Quick Comments

	Asrathiel:	Ah well :(
	ToR.Arnor:	Mafia, Glade and PiG to stream ^_^

[inFeZa]

lets hope the admins don't go full retard like last time...

Quick Comments

breadfan:

NEVER go full retard.

[NOM]

I get to see a stream .
Only deth's matches though.

[x5_dot]

Go SEA!!

[mGGDrGooSe]

Are they all smurfs? Besides beastyqt and incontrol, Killer, i dont recognise anyone

Quick Comments

	Asrathiel:	...says everyone else about our people too :P
	Dox:	Ryze, Attero, Future, wbc, Gojira, Jim, and quite a few other players worth noting

[Another]

is this the invite only qualifier thingy? or is it open to everyone or is it a pay to enter?

Quick Comments

mGGDrGooSe:

It says its open, but might be a bit late by now?

[breadfan]

It looks like it's open, but that might just be the website. That would explain why there are so many unknowns. Based on that list, I foresee all 5 of the SEA guys in the top 10.

[iMSystem]

Want me to fire up the stream and follow the SEA guys?

Got nothing else to do

Quick Comments

x5_dot:

:D

[Dox]

Rules say it's not allowed. :[

(Rules are shared via e-mail)

8. Only Tournament Officials may connect to a Game as an observer. Inviting someone other than a Tournament Official to observe a Match may result in a Forfeit of the Game.

MLG invited 2 players from our team, with me purchasing 1 additional slot for Rossi via the MLG store.

Quick Comments

iMSystem:

Aw, I could'nt find the rules saying no :(

[mGGDrGooSe]

See, if tgun were playing, at least he would still stream his own games regardless of the 'rules' :P

[Dox]

I'm pretty sure players are allowed to stream their own games, at their own risk. The issue is just with having non-admins in games.

[iMSystem]

Well in that case, I will be collecting all the replays from today and do a stream of all the games tomorrow!

Good luck today guys! ^_^

Pretty sure they can stream themselves. Just no other obs in there for streaming or any other purposes.

[iM MaFia]

i get random lag when i stream, so i try not to as much just for ladder and some minor tourneys

AsylumofSouls:

had much fun watching your stream last time :( Good luck Mafia :D
