I was confused too as to why people were calling this a fail for liquid. They are the only team that doesn't have players eliminated and they are all going to get all 5 in top 24. The problem is when you look at the brackets for tomorrow it's going to be nothing but team kills for liquid. 4 of their players will enter on one half the the bracket and only one will exit which really means only one of those 4 can do better than top 12.

I made out the tournament in bracket form. I wasn't sure which part of the loser's bracket the Round 1 winner's bracket losers would go to. Do these tournaments have the "if necessary" game (I included it)?

All those games will be played Sunday, we'll be lucky if a quarter of them are streamed.

so uhm, I gave up after the second map of Grubby vs DDE started lagging.
Has anything been casted? Such as the Idra/huk game that is wort watching? Or what actually happened from that point on?

Surely that second Naniwa was meant to be Sjow?

YES there are replays---they add them.. not sure where exactly but if you google sundace and twitter about it or just read this thread xD
|
If you look at the bracket on the MLG site you click on the match info under the player names and you can download them.

Turning up is half the battle

Gretorp lost 100% of his matches and ends up in the championship bracket, to reach top 6 you need 3 wins and 1 loss... I'm starting to wonder if this format is really that good, just complicated. The format is designed to protect previously established players. If you come in as top 16 seed you can win the whole tournament by playing only 7 series and winning 6 of them. Meanwhile losing in the first round of the open bracket puts you on a path of winning 21 series undefeated before you can claim victory. It's disappointing because it is so hard to see new talent rise up and challenge established players (which is why I love the GSTL). It's also stupidly difficult to get knocked out of the top 16 once you are in it. You just need to win 1 game out of the 5 you will play all weekend. Not particularly. The system is designed so the worst a Group play player can do is 24th place, which means a maximum of 8 players can drop from top 16 group play in every MLG. Compare this to GSL, where every season only 8 of the 32 Code S spots are up for grabs.
But the Code A people only need to win two matches to play in the up and down matches. At MLG you have to win like 15 games if you want the points for the next MLG.

Did they cast the Huk vs Idra replays?

Frankly GSL should take further steps to reduce volatility as having the previous champion drop into code A is just unacceptable or if not unacceptable per se, definitely bad for GOMTV

I don't understand what's going on, i can't watch the stream but as i can see it doesn't work so...
BUT i don't understand who's is winning, who's in the loser bracket.
