John "TotalBiscuit" Bain will once again partner up with Shaun "dApollo" Clark once again to bring the fourth edition of his Shoutcraft Invitational. The British duo will return on stream on January 14th to cast players like two-times winner Socke, Grubby, Ret, Stephano, Thorzain and more.

Kicking off tomorrow, the Scoutcraft Invitational #4 will hand out a total of $5,000 in prizes distributed among every player that takes part in the event with the winner taking half of that amount. The organizers are even putting a $50 "comeback bounty" awarded to the eliminated player who manages to win his final Bo3 that otherwise would not hold any meaning.

The tournament will span over two days with Saturday being the Bo3 group stage day (featuring two groups of four, top two advance) and Sunday to see the top four Bo5 single elimination playoffs (Bo7 in the grand final).

As opposed to the last two editions of the SCI, this one will be an all-European as no Koreans or Americans have found their way into the player list.

The tournament will be broadcasted live on and VODs will be uploaded on his YouTube and Justin.tv pages. The starting times of the event are 11:00 CET on January 14 and 13:00 CET on January 15.
