Nuki withdraws from EVO

By kuroppi | July 2, 2012 | Posted in:

Due to a death in his family, Nuki has decided to cancel his trip to EVO.

Condolences to Nuki and his family.

There will be eight ToL spots now up for grabs at EVO in the Last Chance Qualifiers. The top four from each Last Chance Qualifier will advance to the ToL Finals.

Seven ToL spots will be up for grabs at EVO!

TOURNAMENT OF LEGENDS Last Chance Qualifier Spots are finalized!

There were a few more Japanese players that were interested in participating in TOURNAMENT OF LEGENDS at various points in time but because of different reasons (mainly the cost of the trip), the Japanese invites are completed. So barring any last minute changes and another player decides to participate, there will be SEVEN ToL qualifier spots up for grabs at EVO!

The top 4 players in the Last Chance Qualifier #1 will advance to the ToL finals and the top 3 players in the Last Chance Qualifier #2 will advance to the ToL finals. With so many top players having already qualified, this will be a great chance for many players to get into the finals. We are expecting some fierce battles as players fight for those last prestigious ToL spots! Good luck!

CEO ToL Qualifier Results! The Beast wins!

By kuroppi | June 15, 2012 | Posted in:


Some confusion ensued afterwards about who gets the TOURNAMENT OF LEGENDS qualifier. We had reserved a spot for Daigo Umehara from day one but was unable until today to get confirmation from Daigo. James was unable to talk through a translator until after the qualifier was over but James informed me that Daigo has accepted!

So Daigo will get the Japanese invite spot we reserved for him. James Chen will qualify for finishing second.

Congratulations James Chen! And for the other qualifiers, get ready for the Beast!
