I went to sleep thinking there were no more SC 2 games and then I wake up to this... Well, nicely done by Ace. Now I want to see what happens in the Korea vs. US and US vs. China games lol.

^ We'll beat them ^_^. China and Korea has nothing on Tasteless, Artosis and Idra.

:/ Well I think Stars War picked like only three maps to play on. The Warcraft 3 matches were only played on just 3 maps with one map being played 6 times. Looks like the same SC2.

I don't think the format is exactly set, since it's a new tourney. The basic format is the same as their WC 3 tourney - it's 3v3 bo1 after which it becomes like Winner's League. I have seen the revive concept from other tourneys but they didn't specify whether they were going to use it in the beginning. I guess they decided to use it because otherwise there'd have been no more SC 2 games. Either way I dislike bo1's so it's probably for the best anyways.

Also, above picture: Idra is so harry potter. He just needs the haircut.

Edit: we simply must have streams for the US vs. Korea games, preferably with an English commentator if possible.

My predictions:

Idra > Eve
Tasteless > Susiria
Artosis < Check
Tasteless < Check
Idra > Check
(Check revived)
Check > Idra
(Idra revived)
Idra > Check

The format is the same as the WC3 tournament. The whole SC2 beta tournament was a last minute announcement because the SC2 beta happen to come out when they had announced already had their event planned out. But I think they wanted the format to be like this. Would not make sense to have a WC3 and SC2 tournament running with different format. Atleast most Chinese tournament run SC/WC3 the same.

Players are matched up against each other and the winner/s from team A continue play the winner/s from team B till one team is completely whipped out. Then the revive system comes in. One player is revived and faces the remaining players of the other team (including the revived player).

ACE all killed Korean Team...lol...Just like his name, he is the ACE of Chinese team...

And i think the last game is on Blistering Sands not DO....here is a VOD (filmed by fans) of the final match between ACE and CHECK. http://www.tatazu.com/n/?action-viewnews-itemid-8453
It was too late in China...so...no audiences......like a secret battle...two teammates of ACE just sit on the ground behind him.....

By the way, the battle between USA and Korea will begin in one hour...GG GL.!

Do any of you guys in China know how saturated (lol saturated, I love that word now) the country is with SC Beta keys? The reason I ask is because I don't know how many people play it in China and it seemed like there wasn't that much interest at the Star Wars tournament. Has Blizzard been promoting the game in the country at all?

IMO, as with WC 3, China maybe *the* Asian country to watch for SC 2 pro-gaming if Kespa keeps screwing up. I know that Korean WC 3 pro-gamers go to China for tournaments because their home country doesn't have much of a WC 3 scene anymore and it could be that this will be true for SC 2, as well. But it's not going to happen if the game doesn't take off in China, so I'm wondering whether it is.
