Why is everyone picking two out of each group? Everyones too used to the GSL lol.

This is for the championship bracket, already explained exhaustingly that it just determines where you are placed on the bracket by your rank. Its group play, round robbin, to rank the 5 in each group.

NOBODY WILL GET ELIMINATED.

I feel like group C will be a good group to watch, but IDK haven't seen TLO play in a while.

Painuser ranks 5th in MLG 2010 and without HuK and TT1 that makes him effectively 3rd this tournament. Yet none of his matches are casted early in the tournament like last MLG, kinda sad how the community favoritism works

What I read: "Kinda sad how democracy works..."

Ranking well in last season, while a HUGE acomplishment, shouldn't direct all future tourneys. You have to look at more recent events, as well as the fact that the more known players (through streaming, or their humour, or their interesting plays etc) bring in more crowds (read democracy) which is exactly what the sponsors with the money (read Capitalism) works.

Really nice how well they managed to get lucky with the point system allowing for all these teams to be spread out, only Select vs Sjow are in the same group, but 3 EG in different groups, 4 ROOT, 3 Liquid, what are the odds all of those got split up

Poor Gretorp, group 1 looks really nasty, providing Socke can make the flight over that is. INControl you must be pretty happy with your group, not hitting any team mates for once.

I noticed Halo fans get to select who they want streamed for some games.

Hopefully this option gets added for SC2 fans for future events.

Group B is the group of death 3 powerhouse Terrans and Ret OMG. That is going to be one hell of a group to watch. I think the other groups shouldn't have to many upsets.
