Just to give you guys a heads-up. There will be six of those :D Other dates not confirmed yet as lots of big events are coming up. We try not to colide with them too much so you don't have the hard choice to make or miss any of the action

Now go watch NASL :D

Nice one, I was just wondering about Moon the other day. I have not heard much about him recently.

I am guessing that Destiny is not going to be one of the invited players! Haha

Apparently aLive almost forgot about his MLG Arena attandance, so when we double checked with him, he had to cancel his participation in the GIGABYTE NVIDIA Invitational. But I think we found a nice replacement with Bomber and aLive should be able to join us for one of the other tournaments. Also check out the other invited players.

The last two players will be announced tomorrow including the matchups - any guesses?

This is the greatest lineup I've seen in a while.

Every single one of those players (well, maybe not Bomber, but he still is extremely nice to watch) has a very special way of playing and guarantees entertaining games.

Oh cool I'm glad this is potentially becoming a regular thing. I wish I could have seen more last weekend but I had conflicting plans. I wish I could have seen that Marineking vs Creator series

As for this one, the line up looks pretty good so far. I hope Bomber can step up and take it. I want him to have a little more success. He seems to be wavering back and forth lately
