The Pro Series will be covered both in Russian and English. Two matches will be broadcasted at the same time. The streams will show the matches live as far as it won’t affect the connection quality too much. Otherwise, it will be replays cast with casters being one game behind.
Community casters may join the event by doing a replay cast. To join the caster team, please contact us on Discord or via email at starcraft@starladder.tv, or send a PM here on TL forums.
The preparations are over. Let’s find out who the best foreigner in StarCraft: Remastered is!
I hope my countrymen DinOt and UltrA win their matches. Also, I think that the games that are going to be played on Sunday are pretty even, anyone can win. The only ones that I think don't have a chance to get to the quarter-finals are Dreamer and Herbmon, they are clearly a rank or two behind the rest.

Yeah, I believe the whole tournament is.
Belief is irrelevant. This tournament is online only. It is a 1500$ tourney, just getting one player to one location would probably exceed the prize money.
For anyone that believes I only sent to Vincent the replays where I won and did not send the game where I lost, this is not true. The final score between me and Kare was 3-1, not 3-0. I sent Vincent all 4 games including the one i lost but he accidentally only took the games I won and casted these.
