PLAY RaidCall Open #1

TONIGHT!

That's right, the PLAY RaidCall Cup will kick off tonight and finish tomorrow, so if you still haven't signed up, this is your final chance. We look forward to bringing you some great SC2 action later.

____________________________________________________

The next edition of the PLAY RaidCall Cup will feature StarCraft 2, and it will be open for everyone who wants to compete. All you have to do is register on our PLAY Fnatic website, and click the registration link. So far, in 2012, we have hosted two StarCraft 2 tournaments, both being Invitationals.

The first one was European only while the second one was Korean only, and we have seen names such as Grubby, ToD, aLive, Titan, Stephano and others competing. Some games were simply breath-taking, and we expect to have more of those during this tournament as well, as up to 128 players will be able to compete for their share of $600. Here is how the prize distribution will look like:
