lol only 7grand for first place for such a painful process to get to finals?

i know u probably (probably) pay player`s trip and stuff like that, but its still a low amount of money comparing to other tournaments with fewer days to play

just saying.. but still, i like some of the players and i hope Nerchio or Killer wins


The main reason MC Mvp and Nestea are there is to do marketing stuff for their sponsors at gamescom, IEM is just a bonus.

Wonder if MVP will do better than at HSC, would be pretty sad if it's a similar performance ;/

IEM YEEEES
hope dbs and xlord do well and if dbs plays like he did vs yongwha at hsc without thorwing away 50 supply advantages because of nerves then he has a good shot vs oz as well i guess

as for xlord
he is just super awesome haha imbamode xlord gogo

also: that part made me kinda laugh xD

EVERYBODY WINS WHEN WHITERA PLAYS <3

Does anybody know why whitera had to cancel participation to a few tournaments? I was looking forward to seeing how well he did

Nice write up!
Obligatory Hope for White-ra Mvp and Nestea.
Really hope Bomber does well really like his playstyle and stream
Would be nice to see him rock a tournament once again
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

No matter if Mvp has to play with one eye closed and using his knees (with no keyboard of course)

I believe!! Go Mvp, take home the grand prize and let's start your domination again! After all, August was about the time when you started owning faces last year

Props to IEM on open bracket, its easily overlooked but you can tell they did seed it and put thought into it, its not just bomber mc nestea mvp in same bracket, seems seeded and very balanced with not one bracket being overly stronger then the others!

Can't help but notice the lack of Terran players who will go all the way to the finals.

Yeah, Supernova and most likely ForGG will progress from the group stages but the finals I cant see happening and it'll turn into a PvP/PvZ/ZvZ fest.

You do realize you left out bomber and mvp and puma? Its probably going to be a Z V T finalfest!

Cheering for White-Ra to make it through the groups, would be so awesome! Love watching him play.

JYP is in Code S, thats gotta count for something over ForGG, imo. That being said, I'd probably agree and give ForGG the advantage in a head to head, but to me JYP's a better player right now.
