We have had some more international confirmations! ESCGoOdy will once again be competing and will be attempting to defend his title! dKiLLeR has also entered, bringing our second dignitas entry after sjow competed a few months back. Not to forget, RGNSpades will be around to challenge for the prize money at stake!
1 week left for registration, make sure to sign up soon!

Great success! We will also be having German commentary provided by our friends at ESC Live! Welcome on board

Added HayprO and SjoW to the notable registrations lists, about 2 hours until the stream goes live and 2 1/2 hours until the tournament kicks off!
|
Wow... swiss tournament style???
Definitely going to tune in to that! :-)
|
Ah polarfluke again
Realy like your tournaments. Especially sunday will be great !
|
13 minutes into the game - GoOdy has killed 43 SCVs :D
|
|

Where do you guys watch all the goody games? :-/
I switched the tournament because the first game shown on the official stream involved a platinum player and in the second game they spend the entire cast saying what a beat haypro is...
the esl stream seems down, at least whenever I click on it, it only shows a screenshot of justin.tv.
edit: oha, IMFenix game coming up. :D
wait... since when is Fenix a zerg...?
ah... that's RGN.Phoenix... nvm, my mistake.

There's a recap table below the indivual results. Dejmien, Haypro, Phoenix, Goody (resident winner of this tournament), ReaL and Bischu are undefeated.

|
|
I dont think Goody will be taking this one. I think SjoW or maybe Haypro have really strong chances. Also Bischu can maybe surprise.
|
Phoenix will take this. However, we are only here to see GoOdy playing.
|
We have four dedicated streams for this event and three of them are showing the same game? :o
edit: nvm, one of the casters switched the game, good call.
|
oh my, potential goody vs bischu incomming in the ro16! and assuming haypro wins his ro16 game, he will play the winner of the potential goody vs bischu in the ro8. And somehwere in the next round, Sjow might come and join the party.
I must say, all the well-known players are concentrated in the bottom half of the bracket. :o
|
Oh no -> i wanted to watch Goody vs. Haypro -> it would be a perfect game but Haypro is out of the tournament

My fault
I must say, all the well-known players are concentrated in the bottom half of the bracket. :o
The upper half are only south-Africans and the lower half are internationals. That is why.

Will GoOdy win his 3rd PolarfluKe in a row? GRAND FINALS coming up after this match!
|
GoOdy officially trolling his opponent by going bio.
|

|
Grats to GoOdy and thank you to Polarfluke and all of you guys (yes you!) for tuning in!
|
Great event, thanks to the sponsors. Really enjoyed the casts.
|
Awesome event! Great to see GoOdy taking his 3rd Pf comp, but also as a South African, I'm very proud of seeM, he's come very far.. Keep it up!
|
Great event, I'll tune in next time too.
Big props.
