GLHF.it Invitational

With the StarCraft 2's beta coming to an end on May 31, all competitive activity will have to take a short break. Fortunately, GLHF.it have found a nice way to say a final goodbye to the beta's first phase of testing. In their Closing Beta Invitational, eight of the best European players will play each other to determine who will be the last Beta Champion.

In three days time, from 28th till 30th May, the GLHF.it Invitational will put Europe's elite against each other. The winner will take home the prize of 100 Euros and the chance to become, as it would seem, the last champion for the first phase of StarCraft 2 beta. With that being said, lets take a look at the players:
