Eight channels of Gamebank of PPLive. The software is available for download here.

Ladies and gentlemen, get yourselves together, the most entertaining league is about to start!

Prize is lower than PGL season 1 ?

Less price money than ESL Germany Finals, hope they will release replays right after the tournament

actully I think SK have made a mistake because now the prize money is 74 000 euros

There are five tournaments included in EPS XII Finals while there are only two in PGL. Prize money of DotA is too little compared to wc3 and sc so I didn't count that. Though not much, the prize distribution of PGL is slightly better than EPS XII Finals.

No game on Friday, 13 ahahaha

haha I never noticed that! China is a really superstitious country though aint it ;D

actually I think that the myth about Friday the 13th exists only among the Western culture and this is some kind of a coincidence

It's not a coïncidence, ToD said he'd forfeit if any match was held on Friday the 13th

Omg to be honest, I'm a fan of Tod but this just sucks! How can you be so superstitious? I guess he gets also crazy, when he sees a black cat or breaks a mirror.

Man that was just a joke ^^ I really hope this is not the reason why there are no games on friday!

has anyone the adresse to the stream so i can watch it via vlcplayer?

gl

Where can i find the right channel? I cant find no GameBank channel :( And can i watch old games on it?

power down,maybe need remache

well dont know what you guys think but i think its better to see more races winnning then elf winning roughly 70% like last year

th000 was winning in the last game. it was not fair to him. now they said that he needs 20 minutes to adjust his sentiment....everybody has to wait...

there goes the ramatch.... go, th000....
