NVIDIA’s sponsoring an online tourney for both amateur and pro level SC2 players, and it’s dangling over $22,000 worth of cash and prizes as incentive to annihilate your enemies. According to the official release, there are levels of two participation:

    • Pro Open: The top StarCraft II players in the world will be competing in the pro line-up with no limit to the number of players.
    • Amateur Open: Amateur registration is open and free to all ages of 16 and over with no limit to the number of total entries per Protoss, Terran, or Zerg.

    All tournaments are 1 versus 1 (1v1) head-to-head battles. There will be at least 5 weeks of guaranteed group play, with the top players from each group moving on to the double-elimination championship brackets. The games will be shoutcasted by Husky and Day 9, and will be broadcast on Geforce.com and the Game Station YouTube channel. World-class tournament features including match setting, anti-cheat controls, leaderboards and more are being provided by tournament management veterans, Cevo.  ASUS is the official hardware sponsor offering GeForce GTX 500-series of GPU products to the top 20 pro and amateur winners.
