Dunno if you're serious or not but for people considering coming up from Canberra or something remember that the places are limited to book ahead and confirm a place in one of three qualifiers before you commit to the trip!



Oh man wish my ISP worked with SC2 (turns out they have trouble connecting to limelight networks websites and servers, and I noted that Activision is the major customer for limelight networks...) I would deffo enter 1v1 and 2v2 but unless it gets fixed in time I won't be able to practice.
