48 Hours for Minerals

RAGEQUIT.tv is announcing the “48 Hours for Minerals” cast. For 48 hours, starting on Friday, August 20th @ 4PM EDT RAGEQUIT.tv will begin streaming with Abyss and Sheekthief. Throughout the 48 hours, various casters will join and leave - but the stream will remain up (provided brief outages in case of camera switching).

Throughout this 48 hours, we will be casting various Starcraft 2 games, including show matches, tournament matches, interviews, and pretty much anything that the viewers want to see, or the players want to play. We will be attempting to cast any events that occur in an overlapping time, provided the event organizers let us. We will start out on the US server, but may switch over to the EU server during time zones that prefer it.

Now, some would ask why are we doing this? Charity of course! 48 Hours for Minerals is a fundraiser for Child’s Play, a non-profit organization which has donated over 5 million dollars in toys, books, and games for kids in hospitals across the States and Europe. Throughout the entire event, we will be asking for donations towards Child’s Play. A link to donate will be provided on our website, as well as a tracker of all the money donated so far.

Contact us

If you’re interested in playing showmatches, or have something to cast, join our IRC (QuakeNet #ragequit.tv or webchat here) and tell us there. We will try to accept people/ideas that the viewers would enjoy to make it the most fun for them. If it is during the event, the above IRC is prefered since ustream’s chat will probably be flooded.

The final countdown

Cheesy title, I know! Anyway, since there is some confusion about the schedule for our tournament, we have a neat little countdown in the sidebar to your right. It is important to note it counts down the time till the sign ins begin. The actual games and the cast are scheduled to begin 30 minutes later.

Keep in mind however, that things can change and delays may happen, so to keep up to date you could join us on IRC at #RAGEQUIT.TV @ QuakeNet or use our webchat.

Almost done for the day, countdown in the sidebar has been updated—tomorrow we continue!
