    What's the story with the EGL Leaderboard? What does the "final" in Dublin mean? And how participating in all the events will help during the final?

    And last question - is it possible to play on my own laptop?

    The EGL is the European Gaming League, Its the leader boards we run for our online content and offline events, When you partake in tournaments online or at our events you earn rank points towards your EGL rank.

    We are holding events around Ireland over the next 6 months and will be holding a Grand Final in Dublin at the end, the grand final at the end will allow certain gamers to compete for much bigger prizes, the entry fee will also be larger.

    I will confirm with the head of our SC2 tournament in the morning.

    We are in talks with certain establishments in Belfast to hold events in Ulster.
    We will be holding events in all 4 provinces before the grand final.

    We want to give all gamers in Ireland the chance to attend and experience our events.

    At the moment we only have 3 people registered for this event, we will not run a tournament unless we get 8.

    This is a pre-registered Starcraft 2 tournament. It is the only tournament where you must pay in advance as we cannot guarantee SC2 gamers on the night.

    If we do not get 8 gamers by Thursday we will cancel the tournament and refund the money of anyone who has pre registered.
