This past weekend, the best Italian gamers faced off in hopes of winning two tickets to WCG in Singapore. Something that had been denied to Italy for several years.
Italy has just finished their Starcraft:Broodwar WCG Qualification tournament at the well-known NGI LAN. With many famous players in the Italian community playing, it would be tough to decide a clear winner.
Italy hopefully will be participating at Starcraft this year if all goes well, as opposed to previous years that due to lack of funding the entrance to WCG had been denied to them. In 2004, Italy was unable to send a player to WCG for Starcraft. However, this would not stop them in 2005 to gain some sponsors to send two players to WCG in Singapore.
