Unfortunately, we had some problems. As some of you might have heard, it was unexpectedly cancelled when general manager of the mall vetoe'd the event. Even with prior approval from her boss and all parties involved in the planning of the event.
We quickly scrambled to find another venue, and our friends at The Cave were accommodating enough to host us once again for another tournament!
So here we are with all the details you need to know:

Seeding is done by skill & ladder rank:
We did end up losing sponsors with the lost of the big venue, so the prize-pool has been reduced to 1,000$ USD. Depending on sign-ups and other things, it is possible that it will increase, thank you for our understanding.
As with all of our Cups, the event will be casted by none other than our PSISTORM pro-team with appearances by some of the signed up players, members of the StarCraft Community and more!
Now here is a little added bonus, it is possible we will be adding SSBM to the gamelist! That means a play area for SSBM possibly complimented with a prizepool! Details are to come, but we are excited about what this will entail...
