The GIGABYTE StarCraft II tournament will be played in a "pool system" with high and low seeds until the quarter finals. Starting with the quarter-finals each round will then be played in a single elimination grid system. Quarter- and semifinal held in Best of three mode. The final will be best of five. Maps will be vetoed until the right set of possible maps is found.

During the tournament, the pool system will find the next available opponent automatically for the participant to minimize waiting times between the matches. A limited number of players receive high seeds in order to not eliminate each other before the final rounds. If a high seeded player loses his match, his opponent will inherit his high seed slot.

Really bad tournament, site has massive lag spikes. To check for players character number you will be refreshing several minutes. I havent seen hosting this bad in several years.

Any replay for Lalush-Polt, even if maybe some lag and bad hours for Polt, it looks pretty impressive by lalush

Hello everyone.

I just wanted to remind you that due to last week's Monday GIGABYTE Cup incident, the GIGABYTE Cup Season 2 #11 will be held TODAY at 17:00 GMT (+00:00) on the European server. After that there will be only two more cups with a chance to qualify for the GIGABYTE Season 2 Final

gl hf guys!

Just a short reminder: Tomorrow will be the GIGABYTE Cup Season 2 Final instead of the regular weekly cups ;-) Enjoy the battle of the best who gathered ranking points during the season. Tune in one of our livestreams on the website or here on TeamLiquid in the calendar. With such a line up I think it's something everybody can look forward to!

HF everyone!

Grubby seems to have forfeited his match (or DQ). Understandable, as he qualified for the IEM in Kiev at the same time, guess thats more important

That seemed like a dumb gg from nerchio. He had plenty of bases, and equal food count. Why not try? Really hate to see that kind of giving up. (or maybe I missed something in the game?)

Bases don't matter if you lack drones, and Nerchio never had many in that game, especially after Kas killed like 15 before Nerchio left.

Kas was in much much better shape economically, it wasn't 100% over but like 95% imo
