Vasacast Invitational is the first international tournament entirely organized by VasaCast, an Italian casting duo known for its flamboyant style and its creative use of audio clips during matches. Its goal is to promote StarCraft II in Italy, while offering everyone else awesome matches, top-notch players and a live casting coverage in 6 languages.
The tournament will kick off on Saturday 16 February at 15:00 CEST and will end on Sunday 17 February.
The Invitational Tournament will include 16 players, chosen amongst the best worldwide players: 3 slots have been reserved for Italian players, and an additional slot was offered to the winner of the Italian Open Tournament, while another 2 slots were reserved for the South American players that managed to qualify to the Invitational through the South American Open Tournament (replay packs are available for both the Italian and the South American qualifiers).
