And TeamLiquid from now on (replay casting) should not update the brackets till all the results of a round comes in. Brackets are frozen to the public starting with Ro16, once the replays of Ro16 have been streamed the next part of the bracket will be shown.

I think of the high level who have a chance of winning this there arent many cheaters. (Obv this might change for some though when there are money on the line. Idk. ANyone who is actually good though its not worth risking reputation/being banned from all future tourneys)
Speaking of which, someone spoiled the result of Haypro qxc in the stream chat by looking at match history near the beginning of the stream of the game.
+ Show Spoiler +Once I saw Haypro took a decent advantage I stopped watching really because I knew that there was not going to be a comeback.

That's what we thought before TSL2. There's money involved, people will cheat if you let them.

Bad GG timing from qxc =/ Haypro being a little silly towards at the end throwing some units away but with several thousand minerals he can just throw stuff away.

Oh, yes - + Show Spoiler +Haypro DESTROYED qxc on Scrap Station and moves on to the Ro8! FOR THE SWARM!

GG haypro! zerg fighting!

Go check out the old threads if you want to be shocked at who cheated.

did you see how long it took haypro to finish qxc off? a terran with an equivalent advantage would've rolled over the zerg player.

What happened to Morrow? Did he get DQ'd?
|
what channels are streaming games of this tournament?

Select vs Nony game 1 was incredibel. No wonder Select is one of the highest ranked terran player according to Sc2rankings.
