On http://www.battle.net/tournaments/wwi2006/brackets.shtml it seems that wc3 is going to have a double elim tournament while for starcraft there is only going to be single elimination? That's pretty messed up

Quote from nada's bio on World Wide Invitational site:
" Nada is among the top ranked StarCraft players in the world. This Terran player finished third in the BlizzCon Invitational last October, and is highly ranked in the Korean eSport Player Association (KeSPA) at number four. Nada also has the unprecedented distinction of holding the number one position in the KeSPA rankings for a whopping one year and three months! With some outstanding micro-management, actions per minute (APM) reaching the high 400's in some games, and nerves of steel, Nada has proven that he is a great competitive RTS player and will remain a heavy contender for many years to come."

Looks like Blizz knows about apm haha.

Judging from the brackets, the foreigner that has the best chance to win is PJ against Yellow.

EDIT: However, I think Yellow's fast rush style counter PJ's turtle until mass vessel style.

Yeah some of the descriptions on the players were slightly amusing. For example Nada has "nerves of steel". I think Nada is considered to not being that strong mentally but oh well. Also Reach being known to have a "very strong Protoss vs Zerg game"

I also think SEn has the best chances for obvious reasons

Obviously it's for marketing purposes. Blizzard isn't going to put in Reach's profile that his pvz is shit when people are anticipating a match of him against a zerg.

im not really sure coulee will see another game played

the koreans haven't practiced coulee for anything, however they have practiced every other map prior to this.. and then you have the fact that we can eliminate one map that we do not wish to play, thus I find it likely that they will simply avoid practicing on it and all eliminate it.
