Intro
A lot's been going on in the Giant Bomb community, but there has been a distinct lack of SC2 tournaments. To fill in the gap, we're back with another one! The tournament is open to all skill levels, so feel free to participate. You can also just drop by and watch the stream if you like. With our new system, things should run quickly and smoothly. The tournament will be, as always, in a double elimination format.Important Info
The tournament will take place on Sunday, January 30 at 1:30PM CST (2:30PM EST, 11:30AM PST). At that time, specific instructions will be posted here. Be sure to check back here when they are posted. If you're late, you may be disqualified. We may continue at a later date if we cannot finish all matches on the first day. We will be using the "giantbomb" chat channel to organize (finally!), however, you'll need to check back on the thread to register yourself for the bracket when the tournament begins.Unfortunately, you must have a battle.net account that is able to play with US accounts in order to participate.
