I'm sorry to tell you that oGs-TL just barely missed the playoffs in fact. TSL needed to beat Prime.WE 4-1 or better to clinch their spot in the playoffs, and thanks to a (P)

Killer all-kill, that's exactly what they did. In the other matches, MvP beat SlayerS 4-1, Startale beat ZeNEX 4-2, and everyone's favorite Random korean, (R)

GuMiho, had an all-kill (weirdly enough randoming a mirror in all 4) to carry fOu to a 4-2 victory over IM.

The first round matchups will be:
STARTALE vs TSL (1st map: Metalopolis)
ZeNex vs SlayerS (1st map: Metalopolis)

As a side note, the ZeNEX-SlayerS matchup will be a preview of the GSTL, since they are also meeting in the first round in that tournament.

Both Startale vs TSL and ZeNex vs SlayerS was close during the regular season play (4-3 for both). These are going to be great matches. Hope TSL wins.

The finals match is set! I'm pretty sure (once again going off twitter) Startale beat TSL 4-3, and ZeNEX took out SlayerS 4-1.
Yep, confirmed! (T)

Bomber and (P)

Squirtle both got 2 wins for STARTALE to send them to the finals, and (T)

Bleach carried ZeNex to victory by performing an all-kill on SlayerS after Puzzle lost in the first set.

The top two players so far didn't have Liquipedia pages. I've created pages for Puzzle and Bomber. Definitely would appreciate some contributions for people who know more about these players!

Antooiiiiine why are you so good with twitter?
And wow Bleach/Byun really is on a killing spree since he entered Code A. Except Boxer, I'm not sure who else SlayerS could have put against him.
We will now probably see another Bomber vs. Puzzle shakedown, can't wait for watching that

Hard to imagine him not qualifying with the level of play he seems to show (providing the format isn't bo1 and he has a bad game or something lol).

Thanks for all the colourful updates Antoine, it's been interesting to follow along even if we can't watch ^^

Who is this TSL_puzzle child. He beat a ridiculous amount of top level players, surprised I've never heard him in the gsl or like.

Neo.G_zerO from BW. Never played much but must have been a good amateur because he was a first overall draft pick for WeMade FOX.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=99762&currentpage=5

Other first round picks that draft were Turn (now a Samsung A-teamer) and NEX_Byun (drafted by OZ but didn't play much)

I think Ret and HuK were asked at one stage but were sick? I can't remember if i am getting my tournaments mixed up though..

The biggest names from this tournament have definately been (P)

Puzzle and (T)

Bleach(yay for Excrement).. i hope they do well individually !

edit: and a flat out LOL at (R)

GuMiho All-Killing and getting 4 RANDOM mirror matchups.. that is incredible
