Unfortunately, the Neumont Qualifier will not be occurring.  In lieu of this, GEEX will be hosting their 3rd and final qualifier online Saturday, October 8, 2011.  Please note, check-in will occur on FRIDAY October 7 from 11:00 a.m. until midnight.  Also, the tournament start time will be at 10:00 a.m. MDT.

So, we'll see you all Saturday October 8 at 10:00 a.m. MDT.  Check-in on Friday.

Spots #3 and #4 Go To...

RGNPerfect and ePValkyrie

They've secured their spots as 2 of the final 8 to be playing at GEEX on Oct. 14-15.  Congratulations to both players.  And...might I add, we have our first non-Terran player to have qualified (Perfect being the Protoss player).

GEEX will be letting us know when their LAN at Neumont will be happening.  I will post this as soon as I get any information regarding a date & time.

GEEX Announces Prize Pool

GEEX is the bomb.  Seriously...

They just posted the prize pool on their website.  I must say...holy #$%!!!!!

1st- $2,000
2nd - $1,000
3rd - $500

PC Laptops is providing the prize pool and I think I speak on behalf of the entire SC2 community when I say "THANK YOU!!!!!"  This is seriously the coolest thing ever...I know Artosis would be saying he has some serious "nerd chills" right now if he heard about this.

So, what does this mean?  SIGN UP FOR THE QUALIFIER EVENTS!!!  There are only 2 qualifiers left.  The 1st will be tomorrow (Saturday, September 24) @ 11:00 a.m. MDT and the 2nd will be at Neumont University as a Bring Your Own PC LAN Party at a date yet to be determined.  Tell everyone you know about this!  For a chance to win $2,000, all you have to do is show up.  There are no entry fees, no gimmicks, just straight up playing a game you love!  Spread the word ya'll!

Also, GEEX announced today an 8-player GEEX Invitational that will be occurring on Friday October 14, 2011 at the expo.  In lieu of having a 4th qualifier event on Friday, they have changed it to be an invitational.  To sign up for this invitational click HERE.  Now, remember, this is an INVITATIONAL.  GEEX will look at all the entry's and select whomever they deem worthy of an invite.  So, again, tell everyone and let's get the best 8 players into the Grand Finals @ GEEX.

GEEX Qualifier #2

Online Qualifier #2 is now open for sign ups.  Online Qualifier #2 will be Saturday, September 24, 2011.  Start time is 11:00 a.m.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CHECK-IN TIMES HAVE CHANGED.  CHECK-IN WILL BEGIN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23 AT 11:00 A.M. MDT AND WILL CLOSE FRIDAY NIGHT AT MIDNIGHT.
We have done this to allow us enough time to seed the players.  If, for whatever reason, you can't check-in during this time, we will make an exception and allow you to check-in Saturday morning.  But, PLEASE, do all that you can to check-in Friday so we can start the tournament on time.  Check-in's will occur through the tournament page on z33k.  All players are to meet in the battle net channel GEEX to find their opponents.

The top 2 players will qualify for spots #3 and #4 at GEEX.

John Sloan, one of the main guys at GEEX, told the chat channel at the Online Qualifier #1 that they are working on grand prizes with PC Laptops and wellplayed.org.  It's going to be the biggest prize ever to be given at any Utah Starcraft 2 tournament.  So, let's get more than 25 players showing up to this qualifier.  Spread the word!!!
