Slight mistake on Nada's nickname (bold), except for that great overview. I'm really looking forward to this event! Especially with those new maps.

Unfortunately I can't photoshop or paint anything until I get off work, but I like these hype threads.

Didn't Nal_rA lose to Bisu in the semifinals (Ro4), not the Ro8?

they have coaches for a reason

they will be lined up according to their coaches choice to play each other, much like in ProLeague. At least that's what i guess.

if no one has played the maps i strongly suggest you learn them here.
http://files.filefront.com/Supefight_Mapsrar/;7022069;/fileinfo.html

i have played about 100 games on geometry i find it is the funnest map. the other two i have only observed, and monty hall will be very fun if they expo on the same hall thats like 3 chances in doing this. also what if they expo in different halls, it will be fun the third map is hard for vs terran if terran just covers your entrance your pretty much dead.
