EDIT: I was sent an email earlier today with information about the SC2 tournament. The tournament has a $5 entry fee with all the money going to the top 3 finishers. The tournament will be held at 1:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. I don't know the tournament type or any more details than this. Keep checking here for more information.
NERDAPALOOZA!!!
Our good friends at Neumont University will be hosting an 18 hour LAN party Aug. 12-13 and you bet our favorite game will be there...Farmville!
Farmville?!?! FARMVILLE!??!
Okay, okay, I'm totally kidding...
Starcraft 2 baby!!! Although, I'm sure if you wanted to play Farmville, you'd find some other poor soul to play with.
Details can be found HERE. There will be tons of games and it sounds like there will be some sweet prizes if enough money is raised. I'm not exactly sure how to contribute to the prize pool as the entry is free and there will be food provided if there's enough money raised. So, as soon as I find out how to contribute, I'll be sure to let you all know!
This is a BYOC, so come with your games downloaded with the latest patches so you can plug in and play with some local gamers! Hope to see you there.

Starcraft Utah Neumont Tournament Wrap-Up
May 7th has come and gone...
The days have returned to somewhat normal...
And 3 people are richer today than they were May 6th...
The reign of the Terrans continues as NadaViKinG walks away with yet another win and $145 + GTX 440 Graphics Card + additional swag. The beast of a Terran steam-rolled through all his opponents and, although he lost a few games, he remained undefeated in every match and took 1st without dropping to the losers bracket. A big CONGRATS goes out to NadaViKinG for his victory.
The next Terran in line was our Grandmaster Pit. After losing 2-0 in the 6th Round to Amandil, Pit fought his way back through the losers bracket, eventually facing and beating Amandil in the losers bracket finals and giving NadaViKinG a run for his money in the finals but falling short by a single game. He didn't walk away empty handed though. Pocketing $47 + GTS 250 Graphics Card + additional swag, I'm sure I saw him smile...maybe.
The 3rd runner up, Amandil, held his ground in the winners bracket all the way to the semi-finals, where NadaViKinG pushed him down (gently). After knocking Pit to the losers bracket he faced him yet again, unable to beat him and coming up with the 3rd place prize - $22 + GTS 250 Graphics Card + additional swag.
I speak on behalf of myself, Sonde (Alex), and Tear (Anh) when I say that this event was much bigger and better than we ever imagined it to be. Not only did we double the amount of players we were anticipating, but we received an incredible amount of free stuff from GeekBox, GEEX, NVIDIA, and Razer. If you attended this event, you did not walk away empty-handed. Thank you to everyone who showed up and participated in this tournament. We hope it exceeded your expectations and we hope to see you all at our next event. Thank you GeekBox & GEEX for sponsoring this tournament and making it a huge success. We hope that we can participate in future events together and that you all got out of this what we did.
Last, but not least, a huge THANK YOU to Glen & JP at Neumont University for all their help. Glen was a beast in helping us set up all the chairs/desks, hooking up all the networking, and fixing any power problems that arose. Glen did this all out of the goodness of this heart and I know I speak for everyone when I say that it's people like Glen that made this tournament what it was. So THANK YOU GLEN!
We look forward to future events and hope to see you all there. Thanks again to all those that participated and we hope you enjoyed your Saturday. Thanks to Sonde for his excellent casting and to Anh for being the backbone to Starcraft Utah.

Starcraft Utah's 1st BYOC Tournament
It is my pleasure to announce Starcraft Utah's 1st Official BYOC Tournament! We here at Starcraft Utah want to provide you with the quality of tournaments you all deserve.
EDIT: GeekBox Computers has confirmed that they will be giving away some swag at the tournament (items yet to be determined). Add them as your friend through facebook and be sure to check their website out! THANKS again to GeekBox Computers!
EDIT: GEEX has confirmed that they will be giving an additional $150 towards the prize pool as well as providing t-shirts for giveaways. A HUGE thanks to GEEX for their generous contribution and feel free to support them by visiting their website and checking out their facebook page. Thank you GEEX!
I really wish I could express just how important this tournament is for sponsorship. The guys over at GeekBox Computers have been really good about working with us and helping us to get great prizes. They just need to know how many people are expected to attend this event. If we present a good showing (at least 50 people), I really think GeekBox Computers will help us out. They have good connections with companies such as NVIDIA and Razer. So please, go SIGN UP HERE so we can give our sponsors a list of people in attendance. Again, I can't express the importance of this tournament as it will set the bar for prizes and sponsorship for future tournaments.
What: 1v1 Double Elimination BYOC (Bring Your Own Computer) Tournament
Where: Neumont University, 10701 South River Front Parkway, 2nd Floor South Jordan, UT

A special THANKS to GeekBox Computers for helping us out so much. Also, we are hoping to get some giveaway items from GEEX as well.
So please, sign up as soon as you can. This is somewhat short notice (2 weeks), but with good attendance and the quality of games previously provided in other tournaments, I have hopes that this will spark the interest of sponsors.

Updated Links --->
I've updated the sc2ranks site because the old one never got updated. I've also updated the link to the Utah SC2 thread on teamliquid. Pride brought it to my attention and I had already added these links but I just forgot to let everyone know.
Utah sc2ranks - Note that on this site you can add anyone, however I'm the only one that can remove (only for security purposes. I didn't want someone raging to come in and delete everyone). If you wish to be deleted or messed up on adding someone, just email me at starcraftutah@gmail.com and I'll gladly help you out.
New teamliquid thread - This one will have the OP actually updated thanks to StuBob
If any of you guys want me to add links or anything to this blog to make it more user friendly just let me know. I want to make this the best place for all-you-can-handle Starcraft Utah stuff.

AllGamesPlayed.com Presents...
A Magitek Production:
Mark your calendar...save the date...cancel all your plans! Magitek will be hosting another Starcraft II tournament May 14th. Check out the ad above. Also, check out their website here.
This should be another exciting event and will hopefully result in some epic games. Oh, and might I interject something here....will a non-Terran PLEASE represent for all of us? (no offense Terran players) But, if a Terran just happens to win, I'll be happy for them too. Kinda...not really, but maybe.
