ESL announced today that they have partnered with Blizzard to run a fantasy league for the Hearthstone Finals. Sign ups should now be open so
Here is the information they shared with us:SL Presents: BlizzCon Fantasy League!
With BlizzCon just around the corner, ESL is excited to announce the newest addition to the ESL Fantasy family: the BlizzCon ESL Fantasy League! For this year’s event, ESL and Blizzard will be bringing you fantasy leagues in both StarCraft® II and Hearthstone® which, if you end up making the top three with your picks, you'll net some nifty rewards.
Hearthstone
Hearthstone is one of the newer additions to our fantasy league lineup, and it continues to grow in popularity. As the world’s top card slingers clash at the epic BlizzCon inn, you can get cozy at home and plot your Hearthstone fantasy dream team. If you do it right, you could end up netting yourself some of the following sweet loot:
First place: Mega Bloks Goblin Zeppelin, Hearthstone mug, Hearthstone plushie pillow
Second place: Hearthstone mug, Hearthstone plushie pillow
Third place: Hearthstone mug

Wow, really sweet!.
A possible stupid question, I'm only seeing 15 available players: do they change after a determined time?. If so, after how much time do they cycle?.
With the prepared player's pool, I'm betting everyone is going to captain Strifeco or Kolento ^^"

It's for the Blizzcon tournament right, so there should only be 16 players.

helpful tip = tarei is the champion
|
Love these kind of things! Strifecro is the captain fo shou!
|
Kolento you mean ...but tarei should do good thats for sure.
|
When do they reveal the bracket? Because I'd kinda prefer to make my draft after I know I won't be drafting people who'll all knock each other out immediately.

Under the assumptions that the ESL "Next Opponent" is correct and every group has 1 player from every region these 2 groups should be safe:
1st group: Tarei, Kaor, Nicolas, RenieHour
2nd group: Dtwo, Numberguy, Tiddler Celestial, tom60229
Last two groups each have a NA vs CN and a EU vs KR match, so it's not possible to tell the groups from the info on ESL's site. Groups are either:
3rd group: StrifeCro, RunAndGun, Kolento, FrozenIce OR StrifeCro, RunAndGun, Greensheep, Kranich
4th group: Firebat, Qiruo, Kolento, FrozenIce OR Firebat, Qiruo, Greensheep, Kranich

That would be particularly surprising, since Blizzard has said that the Blizzcon tournament will be a single-elimination bracket.

That's only the final part at Blizzcon itself. It starts out with the same group format from the qualifiers.
Tournament Format: BlizzCon will consist of a Dual-Tournament group stage into a top 8 single-elimination bracket. The group stage will have the 16 players randomly seeded into 4 groups of 4 with each group only having 1 player from a given region. After the Dual-Tournament stage, players are randomly seeded again, with a player that finished 1st in their group facing off against a player that finished 2nd from any other group.

That's odd. How on Earth do they plan on negotiating a Group Stage being streamed fully over that weekend when they have to also broadcast, from the same venue, the first rounds of the WoW tournament and the SC2 tournament?
