Who?
PROG4MER is hosting the 4Gamers.be SC2 Cup. Because of the sponsorship this will be a Benelux only cup.
Prizes?
100 Euro and a Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB harddrive. This is a winner-takes-all affair, second place is the first loser.
When?
There'll be two match dates, Saturday, Feb 02 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) and Sunday, Feb 03 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00).
Format?
The 32 players will be slotted in 8 groups of 4 players, on Saturday, Feb 02 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) we'll be playing bo3 Round Robin style through the groups (to let everyone get at least 3 matches out of the tournament) with the top 2 of each advancing to day 2.
On Sunday, Feb 03 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) the remaining 16 players will play though a single elimination bracket bo3 until the finals which will be bo5.
Slots?
There's room for 32 players. Should this fill up quick, it may be extended to 64 upon which the format may change slightly to accommodate this.
Maps?
- ESL Antiga Shipyard
- ESL Cloud Kingdom
- ESL Daybreak
- GSL_Whirlwind (Arcade)
- ESL Entombed Valley

Vetoes should be done until 1 map remains, after that, it's losers pick.
