Hey guys ! Abdallah here with a small announcement :D
Since the next sponsored tournament is taking a bit longer than expected , I have decided to sponsor my very own small tournament because I can , and for the fun :)
Note : I just thought of this 5 minutes ago :P , so nothing is final this is just an announcement to see if the community and list of invited players are down with the concept , so please leave some feedback.
This small tournament is called the "Slicks Invitational" , it will be an 8 player double elimination tournament , with 6 invited players and 2 players qualifying through an online qualifier.
Like I said I only thought of this 5 minutes ago , so I don't have dates , or a place booked for the main 8 player tournament , but if you guys leave enough feedback here , I'll get to it right away !
By the way if this mini tournament series kicks off with some success , it might help me find some sponsors later on just like how cashu sponsored sc2mena , just sayin'..... XD
Back to the topic , the following 6 players are invited to the tournament based on their performance in our last 3 major tournaments (XFX , WCG Jordan 2011/2012) :
1- Tareq Abu Shaar (WCG 2012 Champion , 2nd place WCG 2011 , 2nd place XFX )
2- Ghassan Al Masri (XFX Champion , 4th place WCG 2012)
3- Osama Amayreh (WCG 2011 Champion)
4- Zaid Mehyar (3rd/4th place WCG 2011 , 3rd place 2012)
5- Omar Wahbeh (3rd place XFX)
6- Mohammad Amayreh (WCG 2012 2nd place)
The final 2 spots will belong who ever comes out as 1st and 2nd place in the online qualifier.
The prize pool is as follows : 1st place : 50 dinars , 2nd place : 25 dinars , 3rd place : 12 dinars , sorry it ain't something huge or fancy , but it could be the beginning of something cool :D , and honestly I am doing this because I'd like to see some more community activity , and a few epic rematches :P
So leave your feed back guys ! possible dates , format suggestions , for now I have 1 place in mind to do the 8 player tournament , but more suggestions are not bad , if it is not possible then we can do this whole thing online (i prefer not to honestly) , anyway you guys get the idea.
Happy Eid everyone !
