Eight of the Asia-Pacific region’s best StarCraft II players will be competing for a prize pool of $13,000 as well as the chance to represent Australia at the StarCraft II Global Battle.net Invitational held at BlizzCon later in October. And the best part? You can stream their match live as they go head-to-head to see who’s the best.
Amongst the competitors is mOOnGLaDe, who we profiled last week as part of our Training With The Pros Series. A live stream of the event will be made available here.
For the full schedule, head to the StarCraft II community site. The first match kicks off at 1pm Sydney time this Saturday.

Thursday, September 15, 2011 at 4:47 PMBoth Melbourne and Brisbane’s Mana Bars will be hosting Barcrafts for this event.
I think there was another major tournament on at about the same time though, so methinks I’ll probably be watching that over this. Only so much bandwidth and whatnot.
