Some good news for Totalbiscuit

"Awesome, Orion finally got his passport sorted, a lot of red-tape to get through, means my wife and son can come over here for Christmas."

Shoutcraft Invitational 3 information, tip jar, details, etc.

More information, including Totalbiscuit's explanation of the tip jar for the players, tip jar is explained at 10:20 in the video below.  Basically Blizzard tournament license from Blizzard limits prizes to $5000.00, Totalbiscuit explains it in the video below, he is working on the details for larger prize pools but doesn't think it is practical.  Tipjar for players or for next Invitational on this page of Cynical Brit webpage (Totalbiscuit's site).  On the rights side, top is prize pool donations (for future Invitationals) directly below that is Tip Jar for the players.




Thanks again to Totalbiscuit, Apollo, & everyone else that help run this event. It is greatly appreciated!

SHOUTcraft Invitational 3 by Totalbiscuit

I am going to miss watching this live because of the time zone differences, combined with real life things I have to do this weekend. T_T

But I got to see the Second Shoutcraft Invitational live, it was truly impressive.

I strongly urge everyone to watch this live if possible, or if that isn't possible then watch the replays!

I really appreciate Totalbiscuit's Invitational, I think they show how a to run a closed tournament/invitational in Starcraft 2.  Totalbiscuit + Apollo are also my favorite casting team.

Starcraft 2 DreamHack Valencia Invitational September 17, 2011

Official thread on Teamliquid & another thread.  DreamHack Valencia Invitational (or http://bokning.dreamhack.se/) will be casted by TotalBiscuit & Apollo. 

TotalBiscuit (John Bain) & Apollo (Shaun Clark) are my favorite casting team.  I actually like them better than Tasteless & Artosis.  DreamHack and Blizzard invitationals are tied as my favorite 1v1 tournaments.

MLG & other big events are cool, but so much goes on that no one person can see all of it live, sort of too much of a good thing for me.  It is also hard to follow how "my" players do in the big events because so much stuff is happening simultaneously.

I will be posting more about DreamHack Valencia Invitational .

Will also have links and more info on it in the "Event Corner" at right near top of blog after PTSL is over.
