You do realize that by winning your national WCG, you get a ticket to Korea and back by WCG as part of your prize, right? => EG did not pay a cent for him going to WCG.
WCG Usa didnt sent people

Idra fanboys really go to the extreme to make excuses for bad performances.. again Killer isn't a scrub, stop the whining.

Yeah i agree. Its ridiculous to say that. To MVP Bo1, Bo3, Bo5, Bo7 no probemo. Just give him his monies.

He didn't win a qualifier. EG footed the bill for him and HuK to be sent over.

Didn't WCG in the United States not pay this year for some reason? There was a lot of drama about it but I don't really remember

So you guys are implying Idra lose because of the stupid BO1, am I getting the correct information here? bo1 gives the best chance for an inferior player to surprise a better one and walk away with the win to phrase it better, actionjezuz(as an example, hes not there) could 6pool his group, win every time, and get to the final bracket because of itnot all idra games were shown so who knows why he lost, but the fact is bo1 format virtually guarantees there will be no consistency in the skill of the players who make it through (other than perhaps being able to hold cheese well)
But in that case one would have to at least question the competence of that group :\

Sure, and i'm not saying idra would win if it weren't bo1 group stage but honestly seeing the others knocked out and players who actually did get through is leaving me scratching my head, either my perception of who is "good" and "bad" at starcraft2 is totally wrong or the format is wonky and not doing the job of letting "the best man" win.

Idra is in Korea anyways, so I don't think it cost EG that much money...!
On another note, why does the SC2 off stage have an obsever, but no commentator...?

Belgium > USA Mwahahahahaha!!

It used to be not so annoying when you knew who it would be coming from, ideally Media boys and then expanded and again and again.
It's white noise to me now.

The logic that Bo1 is bad because you can just cheese is absurd, because it's also possible to cheese 2 games in a Bo3, or 3 games in 5, and so on.
"Yeah but in Bo3 you can be prepared for cheese after the first cheese" you say? Well, then why not be prepared for cheese in each Bo1? It's the same thing. There are 7 people in a group, which means every player plays 6 games. 6 games is a large enough sample to pick out the people playing their best.
And if you lose to cheese you aren't playing your best.

Why cant they make it Groups of 4 or 5 with Bo3?Isn't that standard for group play?IEM,Dreamhack,MLG,GSL do this . Why not WCG?

I hope the rest of this Socke vs Sen game is better. Sen lost his first Overlord to a Cannon, Socke just got hugely supply-blocked...

It just screams "I got lucky, but I advanced"(with all due respect to all the players) I dont get why ppl keep complaining about format that has been used for years w/o problems
Doesn't mean I don't have to like the format. The fact that if you win your division in the NFL guarantees you a playoff spot and it's been used for years.. doesn't mean I have to agree with it
