Another Starcraft II tournament with a massive prize pool of over $100,000 USD has been announced: the Starcraft II Open Season 1. The tournament will be organized and cast from Bangkok, Thailand with a live audience studio, although the players will play online. 32 players will be selected from those who sign up and play over the course of 11 days, broadcast live between August 8th and August 19th.
Sign ups for the tournament will begin May 15th—any progamer is free to sign up for the tournament but the final 32 players will be selected from the sign ups in June. The final tournament will be Single Elimination 32 Player format with random seeding. In addition to the tournament matches, 2 showmatches between players the audience most want to see will be broadcast.
The tournament will have a standard league format with a free, medium quality, ad supported live stream, while HD streaming and VODs will require a Season 1 Ticket. The HD and VOD service will cost $9.99 and there are potentially plans for a slightly more expensive 3D service.
