[apopompi]

Damn, I wish there were more events for Mexico...WCG Mexico has not yet even started the selection matches!

[lucidlychronics]

yo whats the difference between stage A,B,C or D?

[blazer168]

@lucidlychronics they're just trying to organize everything, each letter is a bracket with 250 players each

[ispensa]

it's stupid how this is "US" only.

[capierce]

Spots closed.

[c2thew]

I meant 3 normal games besides the semifinals and finals

[c2thew]

only casting 3 games throughout the tournament?? o.0?

[harryfosho]

aw. no more spots :(

[blazer168]

I've never been in a tournament before so... "How do you play your designated opponent"?

[Soulkattii]

yay for being 17, lol

[sameden2]

you should do your own tournament for all your subs :P

[moondancer1981]

he has 5425 unread mails in spamfree gmail. can you beat this?

[Briancmwilliams]

@moondancer1981 12,000 motherfucker! ALL YOUR EMAIL ARE BELONG TO ME /oldmeme

[h0reX]

balls US only this sucks =(

[CaptinTrips]

Oof. Figures I check my youtube account a few days too late to notice this.. ><

I am very rusty but dang it I would have gave it a shot.. oh well.

[Striker1246]

HAHA! I was the second to last person to be able to register! I'm so gonna lose but I'm pumped!

[blastdude12]

How do I know this site is safe and won't scam me?

[blastdude12]

scam????

[OneAndOnlyNate]

In the Asian community, Asians are consider adults do to their intellect :P

[DailyGamersHD]

sounds nice! too bad im from eu, and i like LoL more ;p

[Baldoxxx4000]

Hosted by HD! So if you win, not only you will get money and prices you will also have HD's as a price :) He will cast, when your brushing your teeth, taking a poop, pee, eat, dance and make love. So you gotta win!

[aanokint]

when will u be hosting a tournament next?

[Monshira]

Not for europeans :( US residents only. :((

[ggGh0st707]

awesome !

[Guitar4Iife]

I just signed up for the funs. Hope to get at least in 900ths. Thanks HD for the announcement.

[ASneekyDingo]

So pissed off I work 3rd shift.

[Toommm11]

Make it 15+ or add porn to Starcraft. 18+ and no porn makes no sense to me...

[ASneekyDingo]

@Toommm11 It's due to the violence and the fact that SC2 is a "M" rated game.

[Toommm11]

@ASneekyDingo Ah, sorry, forgot about the fact that seeing violence makes you commit crimes and will probably ruin your life. Unless you are 18 or more, of course ^^

[UnabridgedHero]

@ASneekyDingo SC2 Is rated T....

[ASneekyDingo]

@UnabridgedHero Is it i thought it was rated "M for the graphic Terran deaths. Cant find my box >.<

[tiaxanderson]

@Toommm11 The queens are top-less ;P

[Toommm11]

@tiaxanderson Ah, I play on lowest graphic settings, never realized that... I apologise.

[tiaxanderson]

@Toommm11 Aside from that I am a Protoss player, I actually have no idea if queest are really top-less. I was just kidding around :P

[Toommm11]

@tiaxanderson Me too xD

[Icza]

@Toommm11 It would have to do with legally holding a sort of contest and awarding prizes I believe. Like lottery tickets, at least here you need to be 18 to buy them.

[fix520]

@Toommm11 you have to be 18 and older to make an email does that have porn?.....your argument makes no sense.

[Toommm11]

@fix520 The fact that some people just don't get jokes proves itself every day :)

[AllstarHunE]

@Toommm11

it's for prize distribution purpose.

[windsweptspy]

Europe wtf?- "US." of Bolivia

[Lucky466]

check out the channel LZStarcraft for casts of tourneys and series between Plat+ players

[Lambofgod2316]

Im glad its 18+ less cheesy all ins.

[moxistarcraft]

Oh just found out that it's on the US server and like 2am for me. X)

[Johnalexgray]

Plantronics makes poor quality headsets, I had a pair and they snapped in half, the sound quality also sucks.

[35Kyote]

So are there tournaments for lower skilled players?

[SirLXR]

sweet sounds awesome!

[tmspoofs]

@TheTaylorWalsh oh yeah, and Europeans are soooo much better. Just because you have TLO doesnt make you the better server. Say that to all the american pros that can kick his ass anyday.

[liugi010301]

dam 18+....

[koberton1234]

I'm in silver. How? Idk i suck

[warpingBean]

Dear HD,

thank for the heads up on this tournament! can you pls let us know when more open tournaments occur pls?

[haruknipalio]

Poor spanishiwa can't play

[the1flox]

of course it is US server, like i'm going to buy another copy of SC2

[Gyroglle]

Why would a gaming tournament for a game that has a huge teenager audience be 18+? That's pretty ridiculous.

[Bankai1484]

@Gyroglle the idea being that up to 18 years old you are supposed to be playing for fun and when you become an "adult" you are supposed to play to win. Thats not how the actual senario works all the time but it helps stop some 12 year old from regestering for this getting his ass kicked then trolled on the internet by a croud of people he thought he was joining

[Gyroglle]

@Bankai1484 That's reasonable, but I would agree more with a 15 or 16+ policy.

[Europecon]

HDs' english is so bad. I wonder arn't there some integration courses  for him to improve his english?

[ftsj90]

@Europecon shut up smartypants

[RazacGaming]

@Europecon his english is fine.

[HouseMusic010]

@Europecon why should he, i understand it so that's all i need.

[Elarfendir]

@Europecon Hahah nice troll, don't be stupid..

[yesiamdaz]

loves being 17 1/2...........................



[eliwood5837]

This is the time when being under 18 sucks...

[DarknessOwNsALL]

@MasterC77 I'm with you. While I'm the only kid who doesn't listen to retarded music in my school as I like rock, I'm also the only one to have played or even heard of Starcraft 2. Sigh, all thet know is CoD

[WhenTheFlamesDieOut]

*sigh*

one of the few times being 14 sucks...

[Hamtaro925]

To all you haters: You act as if there was NEVER a local tournament held in your country that was exclusive.

[lazy06]

petition so Spanishiwa can play!

[hatman978]

aww, i cant play D:

[kennyreaper644]

Trust us, we''re American

[d3v3ga]

but seriously! someone make a aussie torney!

[tykiller38studios]

like seriously i think the the people under 18 should have their own tournament thumbs up if your under 18 and want HD to try to make a tourtament for us

[d3v3ga]

@tykiller38studios legally, it would be hard to give under 18 the prizes or control any abuse inside the games... so dont see that happening

[tykiller38studios]

@d3v3ga well yea thats true but i mean their are probably alot of new under 18 starcraft players now me included should get a chance at playing in a tournament. eventhough im in bronze

[ballsacksin]

worked now 699/1000



[WorldCyberGamesUSA]

If you're having issues registering, try again... registration is open for only ~24 more hours!

[RigTheRake]

i cant registrer. it says i have 2 wait

[cfredbest]

@RigTheRake the limit was yesterday at 12 pm to register :P

[TranceForLyfe]

I don't know if I missed this but where will the tournament be held?

[MasterC77]

lol at these eurofags thinking that U.S. is worse than them

[timg4444]

@MasterC77 ughhhh but its true lol, and im american, im just not ignorant and stupid

[MasterC77]

@timg4444 i refuse to group myself and say that america as a whole is ignorant, its just these effing teenagers that don't know anything (Im a teen, but i like sc2 which says a lot, and also im not one of the pop/rap bad music kind)

[Trogdora]

I'm like 19th in bronze, gonna kill this

[Lionx]

@Trogdora Totally rooting for you! :D

[Maelthis1]

Is this us acc req?

[Thunderstryk]

I just bought a headset from plantronics. They kick ass

[Mehow992]

Fucking Americans.. ignorant and stupid as always.

[MetallicaSucksPl0x]

@Mehow992 Fucking norway faggots, gay as ever

[Mehow992]

@MetallicaSucksPl0x Come back when you learn who lives in Norway you stupid, ignorant piece of shit. Because its not "norway" its norwegian

[MetallicaSucksPl0x]

@Mehow992 umadkid?

[TheTaylorWalsh]

@Mehow992 It's pointless to argue with Americans. They are after all the most powerfull people on the planet, right?

[Witblitz7]

Does anyone know of any bronze only tournaments?

[TheTaylorWalsh]

Oh well, the Americans aren't particularly good at Starcraft II anyways.

[Markterrycameron]

@TheTaylorWalsh =_+ ok amercans are not good got u

[1800akatsuki]

The ticket you have selected is not yet available, it will become available on July 10th, 2011, 11:59 PM (1 day). what!? am i doing it wrong?

[xiAresx]

@1800akatsuki it says the same thing for me too

[broudwauy]

i love how its u.s. only and all other nationalities just flip shit and start talking trash to u.s. as if its all of our faults... remember, Blizzard is American you guys...

[Napoleon4511]

dammit I'm 14, come on let me play! :D

[AnandamideDelight]

400 spots left when he posted this. It has gotten 18,000 views. Good luck entering. THANKS HD for telling everyone!

[Fredrich1337]

give people with actually some skill a chance - Europe

JK

[Beserker333]

omg why did he tell everyone -..--

[Monor199]

It's +18 so Spanishiwa can't participate

[XcZeus3469]

@Monor199 good, one less GM we have to worry about ^_^

[HenkeFemton]

@Monor199

Why is everyone so horny about Spanishiwa nowadays? I've been away from the SC2 community for a while but when I was active no one ever spoke of him. And now all of a sudden everyone is after him. He doesn't seem to be outstandingly great compared to the others. And his name sucks too, in my opinion.

[pinkee12491]

@HenkeFemton well you suck. :D

[Eveonline100]

@Monor199 hold on spanishis younger than 18? I though to be in a tourment you have to be 18+

[donalduckin25]

@Monor199 It's his birthday today

[raythetse]

@Monor199 automatically improves all our chances!

[Outrageouss2]

@Monor199

how old is spanishiwa?

[epiphonesg2]

@Outrageouss2 i think he is 17.

[Coolioflip666]

@Outrageouss2 17 years old

[Lambofgod2316]

@Monor199 Good because i wouldnt want to make him look like a fool with his shitty ass strats

[Bl4ckthursd4y]

@Monor199 I feel that as a pro gamer, Spanishiwa would be allowed to participate regardless of age. Plantronics reserves the right to admit or reject anyone from the tourney. Just a thought.

[Trunks858585]

@Monor199 he would probably squash all the bronze players so that is not all that fair :P That's probably one of the reasons not so many guys want to play in these kinds of tournaments. The chances of them or any average skill player to win are FAIIIIRLY slim . But i agree, there should be some exceptions

[ricehasnolife]

Lol at everyone complaining about being too young or in the wrong country. Please learn that such is the nature of tournaments and giveaways. If you get pissed about that you basically retarded.

[123getsugatenshou]

4 months till I'm 18.......

[WOWdesired]

i dont know many people that are 18+ and play starcraft rawr! cmooooon , 16+ maybe but 18+ ????????

[carloscampozano]

Shit I'm almost 17. I hope they're still doing Starcraft 2 tournaments by the time I'm 18.

[R3vEN108]

Whats good with this tournament?? when i try to sign up, it keeps telling me i gotta wait till 11:59 tomoro to register. That doesnt make any sense!

[WhiskeyLighter]

@R3vEN108 yeah same here, dunno how 600 people already signed up

[FrVitoBe]

lolol wierd i thought gamecon was in germany

but its gameCOM in us ?

[TheZekei]

@FrVitoBe They're different.

[Peace353]

I'm European :-(

[burbabull]

it's gamecoM, not gamecoN

[ehsteve231]

Amuricaaaaaaa, fuck yeaaaaaaaa, thanks for the info HD

[Lambofgod2316]

[TheKhwarezmShah]

[imbored80]

[ApplePieA22]

@imbored80 registration ends tomorrow (July 10th). The tournament begins in two days (July 11th). Hopefully your false insight didn't make anyone miss out.

[WhiskeyLighter]

@ApplePieA22 yeah either it is full and the site is messed up or you can't actually sign up until tomorrow, i haven't been able to either



[Markterrycameron]

@ApplePieA22 so why cant we sign iin

[WafflePirate]

give Canadians a chance =/

[GoldmonX]

Hey HD! I don't know if I am signed up for the registration, cause it keeps giving me a regular SCII Event Ticket, and it's not available until tomorrow at midnight! Are the spots already filled, am I too late, or what? Please respond asap! I really want to play!

[dontpetpandas]

registration doesnt start till tomorrow

[exeptMusic]

They will never make a tournament like this because the do not give one single fuck about Europeans, Typical American behavior. "Uhh we're in the center of earth"

FUCKING BULLSHIT

[TBlade87]

@exeptMusic qq some more, the tears taste so good

[ST2PartyBoy]

@exeptMusic lol u are right about that, thats also like blizzard never check europe forums and i was this one time on an US forum and blizzard are replaying like hell : (

[exeptMusic]

@ST2PartyBoy I don't give a fuck about the forum anymore, haven't been there for a while because posting suggestions there are like punching fucking air

[ST2PartyBoy]

@exeptMusic Indeed i mean just check out the us forum :P u c

[TheMasterStarcraft]

@exeptMusic lol Americans suck anyway Europans own Americans anytime

[Spensa]

when i try to register, it says the ticket isn't available? what's wrong?

[ST2PartyBoy]

lol it is like us only only ...

i never hear something of europe : (

[alteragnostik]

Hi HD!

Wouldn't you be intrested in maing a review of this event afterhoursgaming [dot] tv ?

It is a Starcraft 2 tournament between teams of majot IT Corporations: Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, Dropbox, Zynga, Yelp.

I think it's pretty fun.

[Mushroomyful]

[Markterrycameron]

[Deviantial]

HDH2

[TheSketchess]

18 and over. I hate how they do that, there are so many talented players younger but they decide to neglect that

@TheSketchess I imagine it's due to legal issues.
