Racine_, the creator of the Broodwar AI, will be participating in it tomorrow.Hopefully he will not be cremated too early. He already tried out the facilities at
» Intertainment Café and the computers he will be using in the event and to say the least he was not too happy. Apparently his mouse pointer disappears every minute for a couple of seconds and the computers are small dinosaurs.
He has promised me an interview about the AI project and I will take the opportunity to ask him questions about the Quebecois WCG preliminary while I am at it.
A little south of Canada, the U.S.A has chosen their final fighting ground. It will be in Long Beach, California, in a very nice facility. Here Team U.S.A will duke it out and the winners of this event will participate in San Francisco.

So far we have managed to cover them all except for » Mongolia, who although will be sending two Broodwar finalists we have not yet managed to find out who they are. All we know is that they have completed their Preliminary. Unfortunatelly only 25 Mongolians have visited our site since May last year. Maybe we will get lucky and one fo them can fill us in.
