Great write up, but I really think elparamedico's stolen game from silver and close game 2 deserves mention. Sure he lost the series, but the guy took a game from a player who beat Idra! I also think Catz super innovative burrow infestor play needs a mention too, while again he may have lost the series there are no zerg players doing that kind of play right now. Very exciting to see players break out new strategies, especially at a live tourney.

Man, there's no zerg in the top 8. Oh well, I guess it happens sometimes, hopefully zergs do better after that patch. And at least a protoss won instead of a terran

This isnt really surprising due to the seeding issue with Machine/Incontrol and the lack of zergs in the tournament.

Nice to see protoss up in the ranks, hopefully we will have a little less Terran bashing on the forum's.. (although that's doubtful)

Great write up, and really enjoyed the tournament, Hd and husky started off a bit bad, but as the night progressed so did they.

Excited to see more of these tournaments pop up around the world.

Nice writeup, I wonder how the tournament would have turned out if the foreigners who played in the GSL played in this.

Damn, there was a lot of spectators. On the stream they just showed the small corner, and everyone else was covered up by the wall, lol.

Cool that they get a bigger stage and chairs next mlg. Watched the whole stream (bought HD), was awesome.

Don't know, but according to Blizzard, Corruptors are the best counter to him

For some reason, I'm expecting it'll be weeks before VoDs of these games are released

I can't wait to see the replays or VODs - been dying to see some protoss action, there was almost NONE at IEM, White-ra and Huk got knocked out too early!

There was only 3 (I think) in the tourney to begin with so it's not that surprising.

Grats to all those who did well, seemed like a really cool event from all the coverage,
