Sen and IdrA not advancing is a little surprising, especially the former. That mOOnGlaDe and KiLLeR did so well is also a little surprising. But in both of those cases, I know both players are capable of those performances. I guess DarKFoRcE beating MKP is a little surprising too. But honestly that's a normal amount of upsets for a tournament. Nobody is through who hasn't deserved to be through. If you're surprised by TitaN, BlinG, and Snute, you haven't been paying attention. Nothing surprising about these players, especially given their groups and opponents. Amen to this. | ||

Yeah Sen didn´t make it but that was more the group being pretty strong than anything. B:Xigua and kas, Kas i don´t think anybody doubted him passing which leaves us with Xigua vs Happy. Happy doesn´t do that well at LAN events and unfortunately we don´t hear too much about the chinese but Xigua played fantastically. C:MVP and Goody, well I don´t think we need to discuss this much lol. D:Now, this may be the more upsetishy group, until you realize that Killer has been on fire in his last tournaments showing and that thegroup was mostly Z and P. Its really understandable why idra got eliminated. I´ll give you guys this, 1 upset but it was not noobs that advanced they both are strong players. F:Huk and Snute, Again Morrow got eliminated but well Huk and Snute are pretty awesome and group had a lot of Zs so i can see Morrow losing with his lack of practice as T(Did they let him offrace as T against Z? Well point still stands) G: Darkforce and Marineking, do we really need to discuss this? Everybody expected MKP to advance and of that group it was either Darkforce or BeastyQt. H:Supernova(who we all expected him to advance) and MacSed(Who is pretty strong shame we don´t hear much about the chinese scene). Overall the only real upset was idra and after seeing his group you can really see why he got eliminated. All other groups had known people advancing mostly. Pretty sure you missed E xD | ||

On the main streams:, times are in KST (GMT+9) + Show Spoiler + Saturday broadcast match line-up Main Stage 10:30 Carom 3D Diieego vs InmORtall 11:30 SC2 mOOnGLaDe vs MarineKing.Prime 12:30 TK6 Winner of match JDCR and BMNS-13 vs Winner of match between NOBI and Awais 13:00 WC3 WE.GIGABYTE.Sky vs Winner of match between EG.FLY100% and Panda.Lyn 14:30 LOL Winner of match between iG and Counter-Logic vs Winner of match between EDG vs Gameburg 16:00 SC2 TBD Second Stage 10:30 WC3 EG.FLY100% vs Panda.Lyn 12:00 CF Liaoning_Dongjia VS ruLegendS 14:00 SF AMOTEL VS Annul 17:00 LOL Winner of match between Flash.lol and Jerome_NEGGRET vs Winner of match between CDE vs Dignitas Source: WCG News Page Since for SC2 the RO16, RO8 and RO4 are all being played this day, I think you can expect to only see 2 games on main stage, it wil be BO3 at least. As for the offstage stream, Reis has not posted a new thread unfortunately, but since the rounds are on the same start time (this is an assumption based on time restraints), that only would provide +1 game to be shown live. Imo any game streamed will do though, should all be nice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On a good note though, found the following news/twitter: + Show Spoiler + For your enjoyment, we provide Main Stage & Second Stage streams through our WCG TV channel. But there is more! We also partnered with Own3D.tv to provide additional StarCraft 2 matches from our tournament area, as well as League of Legends matches. Check out www.own3d.tv/wcg for more channels! Also, we have partners in China, Russia and Poland providing their language streams. China: www.neotv.cn Russia: www.goodgame.ru Poland: www.headshot.pl Source: WCG News Page I do not know if they provide any SC2 live, but i found the russian site to have VERY good background reporting with player interviews, replays and such. Seriously check their videos: Own3d GoodGameRU; Website coverage with Videos Edit: woops forgot to mention the Showmatches on Second stage, played on Laptops: Dec. 10, 15:00 DB.F91 vs GLSnute Dec. 10, 16:00 DB.Cobo vs Cytoplasm > no idea how that works out if those players make it to the RO8/RO4 though. | ||

mkp just lost because he though it was funny to nuke rush the zerg ... the Zerg wasnt as bad and killed the ghosts and helions without trouble , so mkp was always behind after that ... Idras wasnt an upset , its the normal routine.. | ||

Oh how embarassing Well, my point was that all the players who passed are not really ¨unworthy¨ or lucked in their way into the Playoffs. | ||

I was kinda suprised that neither Morrow nor Elfi managed to advance either. Well, thats what happens if you play Bo1. why is idra not advancing suprising. he just loses zvzs because he rages at early aggression and thinks how his opponents are shit and gets his ass killed. | ||
