Iron Squid II draws near, the groups take shape

Apparently, this is a week for announcing groups for premier tournaments. Today, it's time for Iron Squid's line-up and what line up it is!

November is going to be a rich on tournaments month. After the weekend of BWC, IEM and DreamHack action, another premier event will see the start of its second season.

Returning with a slightly increased prize pool - up to $27,000 - is Iron Squid II, which commences on November 28th. The player pool has been buffed up to 32 with 24 invites and eight who came through the star-laden qualifiers.

The foreigners are the minority in the company but the names are of high enough quality to not be overwhelmed by the amount of Korean power in the tournament. Some of absolute finest from each race are confirmed, including Stephano, Nerchio, Scarlett, Thorzain, Kas, Sase and Mana. They will represent the West against returning champion MMA, GSL medalists Life, MC, DongRaeGu and NesTea and pretty much everyone else from the "hottest Koreans" department.



The tournament will feature a GSL group stage format into 16-man single elimination and its end is scheduled for January 26th the next year. $12,500 of first place money are up for the taking.
