Players from over 28 countries will enter and qualify through open tournaments starting at the national level. Once qualified, they will participate in their country’s National Championship tournament where they will vie for the opportunity to represent their country in their respective Continental Finals, a showdown between neighboring countries. The top finishers at each Continental Finals will then go on to compete at the Global Finals for the StarCraft II World Championship Series: the 2012 Battle.net World Championship.
