Countdown To The SCG Season Two Invitational: 7 Days Out — The Main Event!

It’s the core of the weekend, the culmination of months of play and effort: the main event, the Invitational itself! Cedric Phillips has the prizes ($100,000 paid out to the Top 64), the schedule, and how to find out if you’re qualified!

Still full from Thanksgiving? Then you did yesterday right!

Yesterday, I dove deep into the Registration Options and Rewards available to anyone looking to attend the Season Two Invitational Weekend. Today, I’ll be going over everything that’s involved with the main event: the schedule, the prizes, and, perhaps most importantly, how to check to make sure you’re qualified.

Greatness Begins Here!
