Starcraft 2 @ GEEX Officially Announced

Update 9-15-2011
Online Qualifier #1 will be taking the top 2 finishers to be in the finals at GEEX on October 15, 2011.  It will be your responsibility to make it to GEEX should you be one of the qualifiers.  So, please, if you sign up for any of the qualifiers, please do all that you can to make it to the finals.  In the instance that any of the 8 qualifiers can't make it to GEEX, their spot will be given to the runner-up from their qualifier.

After months of anticipation, GEEX (Gaming and Electronics Expo) is proud to now have officially announced their Starcraft 2 tournament to be held at their expo on October 14-15, 2011.

Registration is Live

There is a detailed explanation of tournament rules/formats/etc at GEEX's Tournament Page so I won't go in to too much detail about all that.  But, here is a summary:

Top 8 players from qualifier events will play LIVE  at GEEX.  Where will these qualifiers be and how can you join?

Qualifier #1:

• Online, Bnet US Server, Saturday September 17, 2011.  Check-in will occur at 10:00-10:45 a.m. in the same place you registered
• Start time:  11:00 a.m.
• Bnet channel:  GEEX
• Players will find their opponent and begin their matches according to the maps and rules laid out on GEEX's website
• Players will report wins through the z33k tournament page and must upload their replays before beginning their next match
• 1st and 2nd place finishers secure a spot in the Final 8 to be played at GEEX
• Because this is an online event, we will be contacting 1st and 2nd place finishers and ensuring that they will be at the event.  In the case that 1st or 2nd place does not show up at GEEX, his/her spot will default to 3rd place (and continue down the line if necessary).

Well, you may all be wondering now, "What am I playing for?"  GEEX will be announcing the prizes in the near future.  I will be sure to let everyone know the second I find out for sure what the prizes are.  But, believe me, this is going to be the BIGGEST gaming event in Utah.
