So sick! Truly the hero Gotham deserves.

Is there gonna be (perhaps on liquipedia or something?) somewhere people can view the 'LAN Points' leaderboard? Like the OSC rankings?

Damn, I'm so keen to get my butt over to Melbourne again soon

[sR_Osiris]

Damn this seems pretty sick

I'll try and bump probe to make sure this happens in some form, even if its only updated after every event instead of after each match etc.

For those asking for the point standings, here is the full list that will be updated from here on out

The qualifier for the Probe Starcraft League: July edition will double up with SEA Weekly #38.

EDIT: You can contribute to the tournament prize pool using the code "SW38" for free https://matcherino.com/b/tournaments/6866

Also a note for those who are participating this time, I've been informed that people have been forfeiting the tournament as soon as they qualified. While I know this has gone on for most tournaments with qualifiers for years, I'd encourage you to finish the tournament and win that cash money and OSC points. If people continue to forfeit games in the middle of weekly tournaments just because they qualified for another event through it, it makes the weekly events we use look bad so keep that in mind.
