No Powerranks in 2013? I really liked them compared to matchup prewies.


There might be power ranks coming for later tournaments, but right now we have very little to go off - no HoTS tournament results besides IEM, very little consistency to talk about and most strategies remain unexplored or considered imbalanced. Had we done a power rank for this, it would have been based 90% of WoL which kind of defeats the purpose.

Loved the preview, the talking heads of Axeltoss and Axslav make for a more complete preview as well.

I don't think axeltoss's response to the MC-hero game was considering that this is the cj hero, not liquid.

I'm sorry if this was answered before, but how were the pairings chosen? Is it just randomized?

Edit: Also, what happened to the Open Bracket? Is it basically just an invite-only tournament now, or could you qualify for the winter showdowns somehow?

"StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm: Day[9], DJ Wheat, Husky, Total Biscuit, Incontrol," plus Axslav and Axeltoss

I can't say I like that caster lineup much--seems like very little serious analysis--but it's pretty far from being just Axslav and Axel

He should be an even bigger underdog than that... Huk is trash i expect Innovation to thoroughly smash him.

I like the caster lineup I think it's nice because I've seen a lot of the GSL crew lately. Looks like Korean, maybe Terran domination.

Those predictions are very WoL related. HotS balance has changed everything

This looks like an amazing tourney, but it's sad to see the open brackets have been removed. One of the really awesome things about MLG was following your favorite players/underdogs through the open bracket and reveling in the trail of destruction they left behind. Are there going to be open brackets in the futre, or is this the new format of MLG?

Yeah I think HOTS is the biggest factor the game just came out days ago no one has anything really figured out or practiced.
I would give terran the edge in every match though especially given the quality of the terrans I think a terran is in the finals. I could see last beating stephano. I think zerg looks the weakest just from my first impressions which is why I dont think life will win.
