[Sporting_Lisbon]

Once again the Japanese Community helps hosting a tournament for our favorite game, this time with PK Clan. The tournament is up for signups: it will be an 80 player tournament with a group stage.


The tournament starts on October 15, 2013.

With samwise, H2O and flooky signing up!

[Sporting_Lisbon]

Come on Jerom, sign up too! I did it out of nostalgia.

i wonder who donated all that cash.
Not surprising some old faces signed up immediately.
i hope a big upset happens like when acer and kiljardi owned flooky challe NP starsky sam and mayhem

I don't have the time for it. But maybe I'll get to stream it.. I have pretty good internet nowadays.

Looks awesome with all the old good players signing up. Will there be a page with the different streams available, like on teamliquid.net?

Edit: Sporting, are you playing aoe3 regularly?

[Sporting_Lisbon]

Unfortunately not at all. Perhaps it's not the best strategy but I'm kinda waiting for the announcement of the groups before going in again now that university is back.

Nice to see so many old faces sign up.

Btw, where are the results so far?

[Aaryn_GenD]

the results are kinda hard to follow, the brackets are only viewable on the pkclan website here:

I just know that H2O won vs nag@yumi(why censored??) and is proceeding to the finals, which he will win anyway. Samwise signed up but didn't show up for his games..

The prize pool increased to 2650$ btw.

[jerom]

I'd give gs a 20% chance to win it.. he's pretty good

[36drew]

You're reading it wrong guys (I think). Both gs and h2o lost in the semi finals.

No they didn't . They forfeited their matches because they didnt wanna play with lag but hte tournament host kept insisting on it.

[jerom]

yeah, it ended up being quite a drama.
