Dissappointing that there aren't going to be any games streamed from qxc or PainUser. Shocking that there aren't going to be any from KiWiKaKi.

Yeah no kidding, Painuser put up some especially entertaining games last time. I can't see him not getting out of his group though. qxc is fun to watch as well. I know there are a ton of TLO fans, and he's a great guy, I'm just so turned off to watching random players, I can't even watch his games -.-;

Why don't you like random players? I think they are fantastic to watch, because they bring such a strong understanding of the game to the table.

But just so you know, TLO always goes Terran against Terran, so he's not completely random. I'm not sure if that matters to you at all though.

Really wanting the Liquid` guys and Incontrol to make it out of their groups here. The rest of them are all brilliant as well so I suppose it's really hard to be dissapointed.

I know Kiwi's PvP is good and all, but I'm baffled that so many people pick him as a favourite over Socke despite the fact Socke has taken down Huk and Tyler in PvP at Assembly recently, gone 4-2 vs Squirtle at IEM, and took down the JTV invitational last weekend including more impressive PvP series when he went a total of 6-2 vs Attero.

Ya I agree. I think its USA fanboyism goin on here. Kiwi who has been playing below what we know hes capable of, and Socke who has been playing quite well especially at dreamhack. And Im from US, and I think Socke will clean the clock out of Kiwi.

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.

Tyranny of the majority yo! But there is something to be said about promoting yourself as a player. Whether you put forth the effort yourself or helped by friends in the community. He knows HD, why couldn't he throw some interesting replays his way. You have to show off your greatest games to more eyes even if in the long run you're not that good.

I feel IdrA is not going to get through his group

He can beat Gretorp, probably lose to Kiwi - it might all depend on his match against Socke.

Oh, so i just heard from JP's stream that there will be no eliminations from these groups. Strange format.

We're making a couple of adjustments based on feedback in this thread to the Friday night pool play schedule.

9:30 to 10:30's match will feature Idra vs Kiwikaki on the mainstage (instead of Idra vs Gretorp).

Idra vs Gretorp will play in the 730-830 slot and will not be broadcast.

Revised schedule here (will be updated within a few mins):
