I hope the IRC in Web Browser works as I might play in a cafe and they might not have MiRC. Good luck everyone!

I got a question, in the brackets, the numbers next to the players names, are they seeds? If so, were any actually determined in any way, or were they all just random?

Nope it's just a number.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

i cant connect to the MIRC thingy i follow the step but i am stuck at Step 5: Registering to "gamesurge" http://www.gamesurge.net/createaccount/ is pretty straight forward and once you've done that enter the following command into the chat box and hit enter: /as login username password or /AuthServ auth account password.


for some reason i cant register and they keep saying human vadilation fail..the box u have to type in charater to prove your a human. Even though i type it correctly. is there a way to check who i am playing. I am RAealem in bracket 2.

You can skip the registration if you need to, and just connect to IRC without it.

Might want to let your major sponsor know.

The links from this page return file not found for pretty much all of them.

You mean when you click on the retailer, like Harvey Norman or w/e it is?

At least it shows the shop name and logo.

My bracket was the only with without an Australian qualifying

Nice work Renson, you were on fire today!

Any idea when we could see those qualifying VODs? I don't want to be a bother though. >_>
