It's coming close guys !!! I'm really excited for this first day.

Interesting note on bracket strength...
Under normal seeding (such as that used for Blizzcon) the total strength of the Upper Bracket is equal to the Lower Bracket (if you add up the value of the seeds)
+ Show Spoiler +1+16 + 8+9 + 5+12 + 4+13 = 68
2+15 + 7+10 + 6+11 + 3+14 = 68
(1+...+16) = 136
however, if we use my re-seed (and I'm not saying it's a perfect power rank - in fact, it's not even a power rank) we get a bit of a different "balance".
Upper:
3+15 + 5+13 + 12+8 + 11+7 = 74
Lower:
9+16 + 1+14 + 2+6 + 4+10 = 62
(smaller number = stronger)
Not a huge difference, but it is close to 10% difference.

It's pretty hilarious, especially Bling's camerawork on it.

Yeah, I thought it would be a little larger as well.... I'll check it again after (if) I do a proper power rank!
I'd like to do one... but I'm just not sure I have the energy for it :D

That is true, in fact I'm pretty sure that's the reason he loves Taeja so much. Scarlett did beat taeja earlier in the tournament though iirc

Yeah, 10k and 30 months is Cattlebruiser.
Funny story about icons, actually: I was able to make Carriers in BW, but by that point I was already basically dead anyway. 30 tanks and like 20 vultures > 6 carriers, if you think about it.
