7 terrans in each of the brackets except bracket c with 8 4 zerg in each bracket except bracket c with 3 5 protoss in each bracket so for sure this bracket wasn't created through 100% randomization. Really doubt that such racial balance could have been achieved through pure randomization | ||

If you are unfamiliar, we basically all fill out the 64 person bracket, and predict all 63 games. The person that is the closest wins. Maybe not for money, but for fame. Any takers? We already have the liquibet system installed on this site, why can't we just use that? It can't be too difficult to set up, all of the OSL/MSL matches were available for voting on liquibet. It's easy to use and automatically keeps track of your score and ranking among participating users. | ||

Really doubt that such racial balance could have been achieved through pure randomization agree. although in that case wouldn't they want to put nada vs boxer? That would surely rack in alot more viewers. or maybe they wanted to space the two out assuming all boxer fans are nada fans and all nada fans are boxer fans. Surely nada and boxer will not meet in this tournament. The likeliness of that is.... next to none (IMO) | ||

I'm gonna do this for myself regardless :D/.. but would take part in any actual competition. I am gonna have to find out who some of these new faces are though.. and how good they are, Lots of people that we didn't get a chance to see in S1 | ||

The path for Boxer and Nada to meet up at the finals of their brackets seems to be almost assured. I think that the Boxer v Nada "WINNER ADVANCES!" type of match is good advertisement for GSL. The fact that they can almost assure that such a big match happens and that the match has relevance is a good thing. If they were in separate brackets, then its improbable that they'd both meet up in the tourney. Edit: damnit it too slow ^^^^ + Show Spoiler + On October 14 2010 14:18 xAPOCALYPSEx wrote: Because if they weren't, they probably wouldn't meet, since I doubt they could get through the other brackets. | ||

I like that there are no ZvZ and quite a few TvTs, with some luck and good Zerg play we may see better race balance in the Ro32. I think people have to stop over-hyping Boxer and Nada until they prove themselves on SC2. As it is I wouldn't put too big a bet on them meeting as one of them could get knocked out earlier ... This is especially true if, as I remember, the TvT matchup is pretty fragile and prone to upsets. There will be a few big name casualties as early as round 1 (even discounting surprise ones) like TLO or SangHo. Hoping to see Idra and Fruitdealer blast through some opponents. | ||

How does the group stage work? Is it like GSL1 where its straight up Bo3 single elimination, or are there are like 2 or 4 people advancing from each group based on wins? | ||

But it would however be the easiest way to track it across a large amount of people... Did a site audit on the webpage, and all the contact info is completely bogus. Shady confirmed I was hoping to find some free software or webpage to help organize the brackets, but I am way too bust ATM to manage it. If someone sets it up, I'll put up $25 towards the pool for the winner ( free entry, of course.) anyone willing to help get this off the ground? We got to act fast! | ||
