ASSEMBLY Winter: SteelSeries Challenge
Starcraft II is going to hit the northern wonderland of Finland in the beginning of the year 2011 as Assembly Winter and Steelseries organize one of the biggest SC2-tournaments in Europe.
Date: 11th - 13th February 2011
Place: Helsinki Cable Factory, Helsinki, Finland
Player limit: 64
Map pool:
Standard Blizzard map pool.
- Lost Temple
- Scrap Station
- Delta Quadrant
- Metalopolis
- Shakuras Plateau
- Xel'Naga Caverns
- Steppes of War

Prize pool:
1. 3000
2. 1350
3. 500
4. 150 + Complete Steelseries Gaming Gear
5-8. Complete Steelseries Gaming Gear
Although its prizepool is "only" mid-sized (what a brave new world the SCII scene in 2011 is in terms of money!), the player pool alone is enough to warrant following this tournament.
