Oblong & Pride!
Congratulations to both of them for fighting their way through the brackets and coming out on top. They have secured their spots in the final 8 to be played live at GEEX.
Next online qualifier will be Saturday, September 24, 2011. Check-in will start be from 10:00 -10:45 a.m.and we'll try to get started as close to 11:00 a.m. as we can.

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).
Qualifier #2:
- Same as Qualifier #1 except it will be held on Saturday, September 24.
- 1st and 2nd place finishers secure a spot in the Final 8 to be played at GEEX

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.

Neumont 18 hour LAN
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.
