Sunday the 20th of February, BW4EVER, hosts of the popular Kerrigan Cup tournaments will host a cash prize tournament. The winner gets 200 €, sponsored by a German poker website called Pokerstrategy.de. The tournament is only available for Germans, Swiss and Austrians, as the sponsors are interested in new clients who speak the German tongue.

Lost Temple. Apart from this, they also announced that 200 € cash prize from a sponsor was at stake. They waited a couple of days with revealing the sponsor, but now it is clear that » Pokerstrategy.de are the ones who are behind the prize sum."Please understand - the sponsor makes the rules"
The old school German player
[pG]Korn is the one behind the poker site, and wants his site to be promoted, as he believes that many of the StarCraft players also play poker, a combination that is becoming more and more common. As the site is in German, Pokerstrategy.de wants to attract players who speak German. Therefore you must be from either Germany, 
Austria or 
Switzerland to participate in this tournament. The BW4EVER crew are of course disappointed for this not being an international tournament. "Please understand - but the sponsor gives the money - the sponsor makes the rules." writes MithrasM at BW4EVER.com. "Don't be angry and support us with no bm behavior." he vows to the non-Germanic community.Presumably the biggest tournament so far in 2005
European tournament or not, this will still probably be one of the biggest tournaments in the European history of 2005, as the prize sum is high and there are so many German players who are considered among the best of Europe. GosuGamers will keep you updated of this tournament!
