SC2: Asus ROG-turnaus Assembly Wintereillä

Ensimmäiset pelaajat julkistettu, selostajiksi TotalBiscuit, Apollo, Khaldor ja MrBitter

The Top 8 finishers from MLG's 2011 National Championship in Providence will be invited to join the Top 8 finishers from each regional online tournament (24 total players) for the MLG Winter Arena in New York City on February 24-26. All 32 players will receive all-expenses-paid trips to the MLG Winter Arena, where a $26,000 prize pool will be up for grabs.

Toisin sanottuna, samana viikonloppuna pelataan MLG:n Winter Arena, toivottavasti kuitenkin kutsutut pelaajat tulee paikalle :3

Providencen top 8 oli: Leenock, NaNiwa, DongRaeGu, Mvp, HuK, MC, HayprO, IdrA

Eli niistä ei oo ainakaan vielä ketään julkaistu ja vähän epäilen että kyseiset henkilöt eivät siten ole saapumassa Helsinkiin (parempi palkintopotti, maksetut matkat jne).. saas nähdä sit miten noissa regional qualifiereissä käy.

Official Statement from ASUS ROG:

ASUS ROG - Open letter regarding major tournament scheduling

Today Major League Gaming announced their plans for the beginning of the year 2012. To our surprise, MLG Winter Arena, a 32 player tournament with $ 26 000 prize pool, is scheduled right on top of ASUS ROG StarCraft II Tournament, which is held at ASSEMBLY Winter on 24.-25. February. This is not good news for anyone.

We are now checking the situation of already confirmed players, but rest assured, ASUS ROG StarCraft II Tournament will be played at ASSEMBLY Winter 2012. Even though a few unannounced but confirmed star quality players have withdrawn their commitment, we as the event organizers and our sponsors are still feeling very positive about the tournament.

To prevent overlapping events in the future, we are calling for a mutual forum where all major tournament organizers could talk about schedules. It would help the whole eSports scene - players, organizers, sponsors and spectators.

Stay tuned for more invited players to ASUS ROG StarCraft II Tournament. The show will go on.
