After the massive success of our Gamer Search last year, where we found Samayan "BlinG" Kay, we have decided that it is time to look for another Starcraft 2 player to join Team Dignitas. Working in conjunction with Intel and Alienware, we will be hosting the Gamer Search 2012 at Insomnia 47, where one player will be offered a spot on our Starcraft 2 team and an Alienware Laptop.

The Gamer Search will take place in the following format:

A 16 player, single elimination tournament will be held on Sunday December 2nd 2012. The winner of this tournament will be awarded a cash prize. Entrance in the 16 player bracket will come from one of two ways.

Eight players will be given invite spots to the 16 player bracket, determined by the members of Team Dignitas from the players eligible for entry to the Gamer Search at Insomnia 47. The remaining eight places will then be awarded to players who reach the finals of four qualifiers to take place on Friday 30th November and Saturday 1st December. Times of these qualifiers are to be determined.

The overall winner of the Gamer Search, and the player that will be awarded a place on our Starcraft 2 team as well as an Alienware laptop, will be determined by the members of Team Dignitas. Performances of all sixteen players will be observed across the weekend during both the Gamer Search and the Eset UK Masters tournament in order to decide the player that would fit best in our Starcraft 2 squad.

To be eligible for entry in to the Gamer Search, you must not be a contracted player for another team. In the case a contracted player wishing to play who is nearing the end of their current contract, it will be discussed and eligibility to the Gamer Search will be decided on a case by case basis. The Alienware laptop will be presented to the winner of the Gamer Search 2012 upon the signing of their contract with Team Dignitas.

All Gamer Search games must be played at the Alienware booth at i47 and replays must be saved and available to the Gamer Search admins. The decision of the winner of the Gamer Search 2012 will be final and does not have to reflect the winner of the 16 player tournament.
