|
sad year , no day 
ok my picks
#1 Froz
#2 Nyoken
|
Wow, lotsa TvT:s ^^ I love it.
Hm, I guess inControl can prove to be hard for Nony, MU being PvZ and both strong with their races.
I think Nony and inC make it out of group A and Idra and Artosis from group B, although I'm not sure on Idras TvT.
|
froz pls.
and maybe nony although i dont like him. ;o
|

pretty sure its bo1 in groups and bo3 double elim for the top 4 (2 advance per group)
|
This isnt meant to sound offensive, but whats the deal with Idras TvT ? Is it that his best match ups are TvZ and TvP and his TvT is rather weak ? Well, actually i could directly ask him. He should know best. Enlighten me plz, im not informed about this..
|
Day didnt want to take part?

Yes, I do have Jake's e-mail/MSN.
|
day is crazy busy with school stuff
i got lz's contact. i need nesh contact pls.
|
bo3 groups bo3 double elim most probably
|
|
|
Who came up with these groups? Holy shit. How stupid.
I guess if we want the players with the best chances of standing up to Koreans we should just hope Froz goes, based on track record. But good luck to everyone ~~

well there is one US Open player in each. then there are 2 first place finishers from regionals, and 2 second place finishers from regionals in each group. i'd imagine people were just placed randomly while staying within that seeding scheme.
btw nobody has mentioned that group 2 gets the only stage match for BW in the entire event :o
|
wow really nony??? thats so gay!! i want a stage match =D
|
wtf -_-.
i got neshs info btw thx.

didn't you guys get the e-mail with the spreadsheet attached to it? it has a detailed schedule including which matches will be on the stage. WC3 and SC are having finals at the same time, but WC3 gets the stage :o
need for speed, AOE, and tony hawk don't get any stage matches. so i guess SC is in the middle. not good enough for finals, but not so bad as to get none
|
It's cuz Counte Strike, that shit takes soo long to finish.
If there wasn't any CS stage matches, there would be more time for the good games to be up there.
|
i dont know why CS is even getting stage match's this year... 90% of the teams are like 2nd rate cs teams due to the good american cs teams cant play in wcg becasue of there league there in~
|
to be honest, the good american CS-teams are far more fun to watch than a lot of TvT games in group B  much more speed in CS these days, sad but true!

CS rules man. The game has been around almost as long as SC.

CS players are loud and obnoxious

You know that'll change when SC2 comes out and the same organizers will be like "Oh no, we've always loved starcraft!"
