WCG Australian Prelim

[s]event_wcg[/s]The Australian regional preliminaries are over. Now two qualifiers from each region will participate in the grand final in Sydney on September 18th. From this two winners will travel to WCG San Francisco.

Australians have it tough when it comes to WCG, they have to travel vast distances for their final. When they finally duke it out and a winner is chosen among them; that winner then has to travel 20,000 miles to another even more vicious tournament: WCG in San Francisco a long way from their home.

I guess Mongolians have it tougher. Anyway here are the results of their internal preliminaries. Of note, Legionnaire, the clear favorite, has already qualified by virtue of auto-birth.

The national finals will take place in Sydney over the 18/19th September in the Big Top at Luna Park with additional events and entertainment planned to coincide with the tournament playoffs including BYO-PC tournaments.

Unfortunately, many second place qualifiers will not be participating in the finals due to the distances mentioned and lack of funding. I will leave Freezer (new editor of GosuGamers) to the horrible task of gathering a replays pack if at all possible and the honorable mission of covering the Australian final in which he will also be participating.
