Totally excited for this, I was beginning to wonder when the next one would be. Also, I look forward to maybe playing against you moz! :P

Good to see you're participating again Moz!

#4 Posted by Menseguez (178 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

I'm in. Missed the last one but I'll be sure to make it this time.

#5 Posted by GhettoBond (65 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

This will be my first tournament, but I'm in.

#6 Posted by Moztacular (451 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

@Thule: Thought it was time to show everyone how it was done...we'll see if I make it out of the gates.

#7 Edited by NickL (2246 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Sweet, this is happening right in the middle of my finals week and i will probably need some way to blow off some steam! Hopefully i dont go out in the first round cause that doesnt seem like a good way to blow off steam at all

edit: my 4gate has been perfected, prepare to be eliminated!

#8 Posted by TheCableKid (200 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Super pumped, missed the last one cause of work but this one I am definitely in for.

#9 Edited by Hennet_sim (303 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

I might try this to see how my Terran is coming and to put all other Terrans to shame :P ..... Well they will probably be in disgust of how I do. I might go Protoss in my loser bracket round but starting as Terran to get some diversity from all the Protoss :D

#10 Posted by supermike6 (3503 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Hey, this time I can actually play in it! I recently switched to Zerg so I'm gonna have to practice a lot for this; I'm pretty pumped even though I'm probably going to go out in the first round.

#11 Posted by wchigo (443 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Err... I will hopefully be able to make this. But this will be taking place post-move for me, so I'm not sure if I'll be up at that time of day, or will have a strong enough rig to run the game. =x

#12 Posted by raiz265 (2229 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

i'd seriously consider buying an US version of sc2 for this and other events since it's only 40$ (28€) on amazon.com atm... but i has no credit card :(

#13 Edited by imsh_pl (3289 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

I'd join, if I had an NA account.

:(

#14 Posted by Moztacular (451 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

@Hennet_sim: based on last tournament, we didn't have many terrans towards the end so go terran! I'll be repping zerg like a baller don't worry

#21 Posted by Grimluck343 (1086 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

Hopefully I can make this, I've always wanted to shame myself in this tournament!

#22 Posted by harris (847 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

I will try my hardest to participate in and help organize this tournament. Unfortunately it'll be right in the middle of my exams, so Moztacular has taken over the primary organizer role. Big thanks to him for that!

#23 Posted by YI_Orange (896 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

Been really looking forward to this and staying on top of my game. A random WILL win a tournament(unless it's already happened somewhere)

It's cool. But if you could, please please unpin GSL March since that tournament's been over. We've been keeping GSL May towards the top of the forum, so that doesn't necessarily need a pin.

#33 Posted by Servo (17 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

I'm in, hopefully nothing comes up to keep me from this.

#34 Edited by Obsidian (346 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

I've mostly been playing team games lately (can't believe it placed me in silver 2v2 and 4v4 -.-) because I want to be at least platinum in every league, but I'd like to participate in this tournament. Hopefully I can take a game or two.

What leagues are the people that usually compete in these things?

#35 Posted by Nalas (3 posts) - 2 years, 1 month ago

I'm down
