Continuing my previous post...

I got curious so I did some more calculations...

So if my math's correct; assuming there's a 3rd place match and using single-elimination:
- 48 players + 4 seeds on 3rd round = 52 matches
- 56 players + 4 seeds on 2nd round = 60 matches

If round 1-3 are BO3, quarter and semi-finals are BO5 and finals are BO7, we'll be seeing 138 to 200 games.

If all games will be casted and this tourny is done at the rate of HDH1 (2-4 matches per live cast), it will take around 20-30 casts to finish. So depending on the cast rate, this event can last as long as:
- 2 casts per week: 3 months
- 3 casts per week: 2 months
- 4 casts per week: 1.5 months

I suggest HD & H to cast separately (or invite guest casters to help) for pre quarter-finals, otherwise you may be overwhelmed by the number of games you will have to cast.


Maybe they are considering a format with group stages. That would minimize the number of games if you assume they will only face their respective opponents one time. Then BO series from the semis or something like that. As a side note, why would they choose to have 60 players and not 64 if they are doing the bracket type of system? Or maybe I'm just to stupid to get it.

Like teko said, a possible bracket format (60 players) would be to have the 56 people (4 seeded do not play first round) and then the 2nd round the seeeded players come in. That would make sense to me.


Okay I misunderstood then. I still think a 64 player bracket would make more sense. Why give 4 players such an advantage?

A round-robin tournament will take even longer, dividing 64 people to groups of 4's = 16 groups. That's 96 matches already just to finish the group . All the way to the finals = 128 matches XD


Ah well, math isn't my thing.

Round robin is so much better for a spectator though. Perhaps a bracket until a top eight or six teen, and then round robin groups?

msl style group brackets if u want it short? But i think if the prize pool is indeed 22 grand nobody will want it short.

IdrA will be training 14 hours a day to prepare for this tournament.

Anyone thinking he would bm top korean sc2 pros is out of his mind. He will be doing his absolute best to impress them, after all they are where the money and the fame is at.

SjoW has to be invited to this, or it wont be legit.

Been stalking this thread for ages just to see someone mention him.
Now youre making me call down the power of the first post!
