The Highlander

The time has come for the final community cash prize tournament. {88}iNcontroL and Plexa are proud to announce The Highlander, a 32 player tourney with a winner takes all 500$ prize, hosted with support of Teamliquid.

Not all of the "Big Guns" have confirmed participation so far, but there's somewhat of a backup list to fill all the possible blanks.
