As you may have noticed, this blog hasn?t been very active in the last weeks. The reason is that I?ve been running out of time lately. I?ve had a lot to study, pracc for StarLadder/Manly Bacon and on top of that I?m also writing for the Swedish eSports site Rakaka.se.
I?m not leaving the scene or anything, I just won?t be writing this blog anymore. You?ll probably see more of me in the future since I have some other projects going on.
Best regards,Chop

It does also tell us that there will be a prize purse of 1000$ for the Amateur Series.
