Blizzard just announced the date and location of the European Battle.net Invitational. As per the announcement it will take place next month, on August 6 and 7 in Warsaw, Poland.
Fortunately, for those not living in Poland, ESL TV is providing a free HD stream of the event.  Sadly, only eight players will participate in the tournament (players to be announced; I suppose those will be the highest ranking players of the ladder)

At first I was like: "What you trolling about?!"
But after thinking about it, that is a pretty interesting question. Like... Steppes of war is back?
The mappool will definitely show a what Blizzard define as balanced maps for competitions e
Can't wait to see the lineup! |

| This is kinda cool, but I do have to say using the ladder to invite people is stupid. Especially when the map pool is out of date (and by the look of the s3 test maps it will only go more that way). |

Top 8 GM players on the EU ladder according to sc2ranks:
1 MǂLalush
2 MYMSaSe
3 AaNerchio
4 KiWiKaKi
5 EGDeMusliM
6 ESCGoOdy
7 Happy
8 DuckloadRa
They'll probably invite players from Top 50 GM based on availability and willingness to go. Last edit: 2011-07-06 02:04:31 |
