Yeah, we'll find out if qxc or Huk are on the same level. I think it was definitely a good idea to include two top, sort of new US players.
I would've rather seen CauthonLuck in it than qxc (bias?!?!) but qxc is legit too. Huk and qxc are both great players.
But this tournament might be a little weird because of the break between beta phases and the short length of phase 2. Hopefully the prize money motivated everyone to focus on preparing for the tournament but even if that's true I won't be surprised by some wacky results. In other words, I'm in the same boat as Nazgul. We have to wait a while and see a lot of results before we can judge how these players compare. Unless one player brilliantly dominates a bunch of challenging opponents, I won't be drawing too many conclusions.

Are Huk and qxc really on the level of those other 6? Looks like a great tournament but one of those 2 in the semis would be very disappointing. How would that be disappointing?
The games will very likely be played on the US servers, giving the US players a distinct advantage in micro because of delay. I could imagine them cheesing succesfully because opponents can't control all that good, and then it would be lame for them to get to the semis that way.
Don't think that will happen though.
PS Day9 you are obviously the King yourself, giving us the best tournament so far to cover the downtime

I hate living in Europe, I miss every awesome event. Except the ESWC in Paris.... (yeh...)

I will leave my laptop on all night running Replay Media Catcher so i can watch the cast in the morning, i.e. 3 hours after its being broadcasted. I could upload them somewhere but i doubt Day9 would approve of that.
I CANNOT WAIT yayyyyy
Edit:
I think the break will have little to no effect for such a large prize pool.
If you saw the Star2gether Clan Invitational those koreans were pumped up and had a lot of great builds with good execution. I'm sure the players will prepare intensively and all the rust from the break will be brushed off.

Im cheering for IntotheRainbow since he's a classic BW face, well I'll cheer for White-Ra And Idra as well. But IntotheRainbow is interesting since he is a retired Bw Player going into Starcraft 2 instead of just making the transition.

man the first group play stream is late for us poor EU guys, hope there will be Vods up shortly after
|
Yeah time to go to bed about now to get up for 3/4am

This is gonna be on Day9's bliptv account later, right?

Day9 is more like the GOD or at the very least one of the gods of Starcraft II. There are kings and then there are gods.
