1st Qualifier
The first Qualifier is over and I'm happy to have BacT with us in Hamburg for NAC2.
Bracket for Qualifier #1
Funding/Donations/Sponsors
Microsoft gave $5,000 and MattJustSalsa $9,000 for the prizepool.
Resulting in a likely payout like this:
Hopefully more updates next week
Casters
There has been some change when it comes to casters for the LAN finals:
- Killer_B had to cancel because he has to work in China during that time
- ZeroEmpires has involvements in other projects but will join at the end as a fan
- T90 didn't want to leave his stream for the full duration of NAC2 but I need casters that could commit for the full time
- MembTV going strong! MembFace
I'm glad to have found two great casters that will now attend the offline finals instead:
- BBQTurkman
- OrnLu_AoE
Meet&Greet + Public Viewing
There will be a Meet&Greet with all the players, casters & fans during Saturday evening of NAC2 on the 16th of February. Additionally there will be public viewing of the Semis and the Grand Final at the same location.

Bracket for Qualifier #1
Q: Hey BacT, congratulations for qualifying for NAC2!
You won in the Grand Final vs F1Re 5-1 without dropping a map (F1Re was leading 0-1 because he came from the winner bracket). How confident were you that you could beat F1re? You lost to him in the winner bracket semis 0-4 after all.
Answer: Hey Nili, thanks for hosting a great tourney.
Yesterday was really a good day for me, I did not lose any games, which was unexpected for me. I lost to him in WB when I had a bad day and I tried my best to stabilize mentally. (I'm really afraid of his strategies)
Q: How well do you think you can adjust to new maps that NAC2 has and the specific civ draft for it? Do you struggle or do you have an advantage over most opponents?
Answer: Well, NAC maps are my favorite maps, I'm pretty confident of my strategy and I just need to train civils draft to own the best civils for me.
Yes, I think I have an advantage over the opponents because the maps of NAC are quite complex and I am very experienced.
Q: Have you ever been to Europe? What are you most looking forward to?
Answer: I have not been to Europe before, and I don't know what will happen to me there 111, how cold it is? and hot?
Q: And what are you most looking forward to during NAC2? Meeting old friends (TyRants) or purely the competition with the worlds best?
Answer: Well, of course I would like to meet my old friends, my favorite streamers and I hope will meet some my fans there 1111. But the best thing is the best contest in the world, I have not had a chance to join it for a long time.
Q: How do you think you will perform in NAC2? What's your goal?
Answer: Now I still dont know yet, I have invested a lot time into the qualifiers.
And my goal is probably to do something fun 1111 with people to have memories, to me that's enough.
