StarMoon Profile Joined April 2011 Canada 523 Posts #6 A nice list of A and B list Europeans, should be an interesting watch. I've never heard of your primary English caster, so I hope the casting for those of us that don't speak German is watchable.



Should be a good tourney, and thanks for your sponsorship of HSC.

I'm wondering if one of them isn't actually live in this case. Either that or there's some nice scheduling going on



Also, great tournament by a great company. Keep up the great work XMG and good luck to all players I'm wondering if one of them isn't actually live in this case.

Grubby qualified at one of our qualifiers in late 2011. That Shoutcraft and we are on the same date is kinda bad luck as obviously both were planned on the long terms and were postponed more than once. We will see if all players are able to participate, but for now they are at least qualified



Cheers

And Acro is linked to the map, not the player (and has a 50% winrate on every matchup [the map, not the player])



Well I will watch, if only to see if Gamtja still has it in him. Well ReaL and Gamtja are linked to their scbw TLPDs, but it does not seem like there is a sc2 profile for Gamtja yet .. which is interesting, as there is a profile for almost anyone. Hm.And Acro is linked to the map, not the player(and has a 50% winrate on every matchup [the map, not the player])Well I will watch, if only to see if Gamtja still has it in him. Where is my ACE flair

ngri Profile Joined October 2010 Luxembourg 136 Posts #19 Is it me or is it strange to not award a cash prize for first place?



Actually if I were a playing in this final i would try to lose on purpose :S or can you get the 1200 euros instead?

Tyrania Profile Joined September 2011 Germany 24 Posts #20 hm, thats intended. even if you dont need the notebook you will be able to sell it for more than the second place.



When determinating the prize structure we focused on spreading the prize pool a little more than having only very few win larger amounts. We think its more "pro friendly" or lets name it "more friendly for players that want to earn money" by playing this kind of tournaments.



Cheers,
