The whole tournament stage (top 2 of each group) will be Best-of-Five. So GenoZStriker is right.
Regarding Asian players:
I was in contact with both oGs and Prime and unfortunately neither could (or wanted to) afford to send players to Germany on such short notice. I would have loved to invite e.g. Check or Tester. The tournament was announced only ~2 weeks ago and 6 of those players qualified by getting top 3 in Go4SC2 cups.
ESL is not covering any travel- or hotel-costs so these Global Challenges favour sponsored players. Although the prize money distribution actually makes it quite a low-risk to attend if you are from somewhere in Europe, for players from Asia the whole travel would have been too costly.

Yeah that seems to be the case.
What a weak move, that's like saying I don't want to compete with my opponens on an equal footing.

Bahaha
Number of Terrans = Protoss + Zerg
|
Guess this one goes to Idra or a Terran. I cheer for any Protoss in there, especially the Duckload und HuK!
To bad I can't be there

Where's MorroW? Were these qualifiers the only thing he didn't manage to win in the beta? =P
|
Wow, this really shows how much people over-estimate TLO atm. Yes he's creative and he uses cooky strats but his mechanics and micro-decision making (when to engage etc.) is rather weak.

I wonder what will happen to all the TvZ-imbalance-fanatics if IdrA actually makes it out of this group (which I expect, tbh).
Btw, does anyone know who'll be casting the QL matches? I hope it's 2GD. He was by far the best caster esltv ever had...

4 zergs, 3 protoss and 9 terrans (assuming nani changed to T)... i really hope its not a TvT final.

Dodging mirror match ups has always been pretty common in the Brood War community. Often it's because they're terribly uninteresting compared to the other MUs.
I kind of feel like Nani is playing TvP to prove a point though ^^

This is going to be so awesome - how big is the venue?
Also I like how there is a payout separation for 9th-12th. Means there might be some tiebreakers between group losers =P
