Ahh, I didn't see that at the bottom. However, under the Group A and Group B at the top it has the current standings, including day 6. And if you go to Day9's blip.tv page all of the vods are there.

My money is on WhiteRa, if he brings his A game (and his internet doesn't crash) Nony really hasn't been too active during the Beta... wouldn't really have made sense for him to be a part of this IMO.. The invites looked like they're based on skill, not on activity. yeah.. still looking for morrow.. or brat_ok.. or sen... Given it's an 8 player tournament and as far as possible evenly spread across the servers who of TLO, WhiteRa and Dimaga would you like to replace?
Let's not result to finger-pointing.

My predicions: qxc 3-2 Idra Tester 3-1 ITR
Final: Tester 3-1 qxc
Explanation: Qxc vs Idra I think qxc's aggressive style is actually going to work very well against idra, his micro is exceptional and I think right now styles for zerg to deal with the early hellion harass will not be sufficient at the level qxc hammers him. There will be some maps where Idra will be able to defend this effectively (blistering sands, lost temple), but I think on other maps it might be insufficient. It seems like in general Idra has the hardest time against very good players playing sound but aggressively and I personally think TvZ is very tough for the Z player at the moment. For the record I'm rooting for Idra as I do in all games of Z vs T.
Tester vs ITR. Tester has managed to put a lot of pressure vs terran early with good control and honestly I think ITR's control hasn't been that good so far in the games. Unfortunately we didn't get to see ITR really have to defend a 4 gate push which I think Tester should try since terran needs good control to defend.
Finals: Tester vs Qxc I think with it being a little harder to be as aggressive against a player like tester will make it very tough for Qxc. It's one of those stylistic matchups where you have qxc against a similarly styled tester, but I think tester is the better player and there's not as much of a stylistic imbalance for qxc to work with.

I'm thinking:
IdrA 3-1 qxc Tester 3-2 ITR
Then:
Tester 3-1 IdrA

MoreFasho agree in all but Tester 3-0 qxc in finalls )

ITR could be a completely different animal on the Asia server against Tester. I don't think we've seen Tester suffer much from lag in this tourney, while ITR really is a better than his games against Qxc made him look. That said, Tester has very strong early/midgame gate play, and it will take a fair amount of successful harass from ITR to contain him to one or two bases and take the series.
3-2 ITR
I agree completely with MoreFasho on the Qxc/Idra match up. Qxc just has too many options to slow Idra's econ down, and unless we see more proactive rather than reactive play from Idra, he just won't be able to stop the push when it comes out around 140 food.
3-1 QXC
Anticlimactic early aggression TvT with ITR suffering from lag will see Qxc winning KoTB 3-1.

3-1 qxc > idra
3-2 tester > ITR

Idra > QXC Tester > ITR
TESTER > IDRA
50$ on it!

I think qxc will beat idra given idra's Z and Qxc is T also qxc is friggin good at that matchup. Tester will beat ITR
Then tester will roll qxc 3-0 with ITR beating idra for 3rd if they do that.
I would love to root for idra but those are my predictions Sorry greg

Nah... qxc aggression will be his undoing. The only time a Zerg really has a chance vs a terran is when they are going in small waves instead of just getting the big ball of death. qxc just want to end the game NOW! and it's not going to work for him. Also IdrA has some nice Mutalisk usage vs terran lately... guess that it will help him...... but he will fall to tester!

I haven't seen much of his TvZ but I'm hoping it's as strong as his TvT has shown to be.

Does QXC stand for anything?

Is there a time set for the semi-finals and finals or is it just some time between 4pm and 4am?

Well, the OP says: "July 26th 11:59pm PST".

Idra>qxc 3-2 Think it would be really close. Hoping for longs games i love qxc's style too but i have to root for idra on this one.
Tester>ITR 3-0 i dont know.. i just think ITR tvp isnt good enough to beat tester PVT
|
QXC 2-0 Idra Tester 2-0 ITR
QXC 3-2 Tester
At least this would be my all time favorite outcome I really didn't think QXC would make #1 in his group (sorry for doubting you) He has really become a phenomenal
