It's been far too long, almost a year in fact, since the last up and coming tournament. Now it's time again as we bring you a fresh batch of 16 players to battle it out for the victory on Saturday at 19:00 CET



The last time we revealed the players over three days based on their races. We got massive criticism for that and this time we'll tell you all the participants straight away. That does mean however, that we will not do the nice interviews we did with all the players last time. We did grab two of them for a few questions though.

The idea


For those of you who do not remember the previous tournament the idea is to give the less known players a chance at the spotlight. That means that the usual suspects for an invite tournament are not invited this time. Instead we try to invite players who are not mentioned in the news so often, or are very promising.

The players
M1-MarinE
aFz)MannertoSS
MgZ)inneoov

Map pool
Reverse Temple
Blitz X
Longinus II
HitchHiker
Geometry
Neo Arkanoid

The Format


The format is the same as last time. It is single elimination with best of three until the final which is best of five. The players are in order. Marine will play MannertoSS and the winner will play the winner of inneoov vs Sudden etc.

The maps are in order. Meaning that the start map in round one will be Reverse Temple. In round two it will be Blitz X and so on. In the second game it's losers choice of course.

Again, the time is Saturday 31st at 19:00 CET.

Last time it was mRv.Hullah as he was known then who won the tournament by beating oG)StormtoSS in the final with 3-1. Check the link at the bottom for replays and reports from that.

Im Tobias Lundgren from Stockholm, Sweden. Right now im in clan NaW- and also playing for Sweden. Dont really know what my playstyle is. More aggressive in PvZ and kind of passive in PvT.

Nerds at Work correct? You're currently tagging as Qpad. What are you getting out of the sponsorship deal with Qpad?
Yes Nerds at Work. We're not allowed to talk about the sponsorship.

Have you played any of your opponents from this tournament before? Tell us a little bit about it.
Actually i only think ive played Beeswax in a Bw4ever tour. He won that time. Other than that i havent played any of them that i can remember. But as long as i get to play some good guys im satisfied. Always fun to play invite tournaments. Have no idea who is the favourite.
