[s]event[/s]A really cool event is going to be held at the Tsinghua University in Beijing, China. A tournament where the Chinese progamers and the Korean progamers will clash in an event to promote gaming in China. Four different games will be played: StarCraft: Brood War, WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne, Counter Strike: Condition Zero and FIFA 2004. The players for StarCraft have been announced, and here is how it looks:
Boxer
Nada
Yellow
Reach
Nal_Ra
Xm_Super
YoLiny.Mty
NewTown_Stop.Phoenix
Xm)_Teamno.1
As you can see, the Chinese lineup only has four players. I'm not really sure why, but I guess they haven't decided the final player yet. Personally I hope that PJ will attend, but I'm not so informed with the Chinese StarCraft scene, so there might be several better players. The game format is 3x1on1 and 2x2on2, and each player may only play twice.
The Korean lineup is really awesome; a real dreamteam. Maybe not the best players right now but certainly the most popular ones, since this is not an important tournament that one team needs to win.
This event will take place the 7th of August 7:00 PM (Korean time), which will be 11:00 CET, if my calculations are correct. The whole event will be broadcasted by OnGameNet, so I'm hoping for some great games to watch!
