[Cancelled] Ultimate Barcraft: Details! Text by Kennigit Ultimate BarCraft Cancelled



As you may know, TL was one of the sponsors of the Ultimate BarCraft event this weekend at Blizzcon. Unfortunately, today the organizers informed us that due to sponsor and venue complications, Ultimate BarCraft will be cancelled and they will be refunding all donations.



Our apologies to everyone who was looking forward to the event. We are as disappointed as you at the news of its cancellation but it appears nothing can be done at this point to save it.



For those still looking to meet up, there is a GSL Finals viewing party followed by a Live On Three episode at the "Friday Night BarCraft" event on Friday night (8:30 pm) at the Hilton. We'd encourage anyone who isn't attending the final live to head over there.
