Okay, this is awesome. Can't wait to hear from Tasteless again...

How are they going to get observers?

There's no observers functionality in SC2 yet.


There most definitely is observer functionality in SC2 now. People can enter a game as an observer, in which case they have access to all the "stations" and such that you'd have when watching a replay.

For the third time in this thread, you don't use your own computer.


If you arent using your own computer (which I agree is probably the case) why wouldnt they set up the settings before hand. Who would go in and lower the graphics settings on purpose?

If Blizzard is truly going for Global and and still so confident that their BNet experience is so great that we don't need Lan, then I'm really confused by the mixed signals they are sending with this tournament setup.

Don't get me wrong, I think Blizzard is doing phenomenal overall, and I'm psyched to see all this money and effort go into SC2, but doesn't server wide online tournaments for smaller prize pools which we still will jump all over make more sense? Obviously offline qualifiers are incredibly more work to set up, and surely they realized this will drastically reduce the foreigner participation, so what was the reasoning behind these decisions? Did the region lock potentially interfere with Blizzard's own plans for a truly Global e-sport event?

Perhaps Blizzard will surprise us yet again and contact top foreigner players to fly them out to Seoul for this, but still there'd be questions as to how those players were selected. While it is thrilling to see such big steps taken for SC2, it would seem that after the big fight Blizzard went through to maintain control of SC2 e-sports, GomTV did most of the setup for this tournament.

All the teams with cash like SK, Fnatic, MYM, EG, mTw, Attax will definitely do this, they did it for Counter Strike after all.


they did it for counter strike cuz they knew they can and will posibly win 1,2,3 places, here i doubt any1 even thinks about top 10 or smth like that lol


Players like DeMusliM, Dimaga, WhiteRa etc couldn't get Top 10?


Perhaps, but the stakes just got so much higher that the level of competition is anyone's guess. For all we know the next Bisu or Flash is practicing like mad right now :p

Anyone with experience from televised matches will have a head start too...

Anyone wonder how this rule is going to shake out?

-Players cannot chat unless they are surrendering the game.

Has that always been the case in the Korean leagues? I feel like we might lose some of the personality of the players by not getting to see their mannerisms. Also does this prevent the gl hf at match start too?

Yes, they cannot write any other words than gg or pp in the koran leagues.
Check out this thread for a example: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=92204

Leta gets disqualifed for misstyping pp.

Unfortunately, and not without its fair share of controversy, this rule has existed for quite a long time in professional starcraft leagues.

Great news! I imagine this is the first (and probably biggest for a while) of many new tournaments and leagues we will hear about in the near future. The scene is on its way fast!
