rapha, DaHanG clash in Silent Gamers cup

America's top stars have come out in force for this weekend's Silent Gamers tournament with rivals Shane "rapha" Hendrixson and Tim "DaHanG" Fogarty set to renew hostilities just days before they travel to the IEM global finals in Hannover. The pair received the top seeds for the 32-player event but will also face stiff competition from the likes of Sander "vo0" Kaasjager, Brian "dkt" Flander and returning star John "ZeRo4" Hill.

The tournament will run over two days and is aiming to raise awareness for deaf and hard-of-hearing gamers. With $200 up for grabs, QL.TV and Marcus "djWHEAT" Graham will be providing live coverage kicking off 20:00 CET on Saturday. The sixteen seeded players (see below) will face off against sixteen randomly selected players in the opening round of the cup's double eliminatino best-of-three bracket.
