The Tournament is split into two phases: The Preliminary Phase and the Final Tournament.
The Preliminary phase consists of 8 Qualifier Tournaments, each one being held as a single elimination tournament. The last 2 players of each Qualifier Tournament will be considered the winners and advance to the Final Tournament. All matches in the Preliminary phase are best of 1 matches, except for the semi finals and the grand final, which are best of 3 matches.
The Final Tournament contains 32 players. It is a single eliminiation tournament, played over 5 rounds. All matches are best of 3 matches, except for the semi finals, the grand final and the bronze match, which are best of 5 matches.
In the Final Tournament, the 16 winners of the Qualifier Tournaments in the Preliminary Phase are paired with 16 invited pro players.

Really bad ger cast even with muted sound. I advise to look the stream of AiCola instead of the other one. They cast some low games and aren't focused on the important things.

What do you mean CCAA? Do you mean we broadcast the wrong matches? We try to find the best ones, but due to timing and whatnot it's not always so simple.
We are looking into lag issues but we haven't really had complaints about that for some time.
This Saturday our eighth and last Qualifier starts, so please register if you want a last chance at 50 Euros and a place in our final tournament.

Cool, I didn't know XMG had a sc2 division. My friend plays on their competitive LoL team. They're beaten quite a few pros I believe.
|
where is bracket for today?
and who advance from all of previus cups?

No it is saturday the 14th - you should have gotten a mail about the date.
|
I did not (at least not recently). Why schedule same time as SCI4 tho? t.t
|
same question as grubby .. why same date ?:O
|
we planned this weekend since 1st week of december when we needed to postpone the finals due to the wcg in busan. Most of or field was playing there. An concerning SCI4, actually we saw that it was on the same date by about yesterday or so. I talked to Genna today and well, there´s not much we can do about that right now. SCI is the way more prestigious tourney so you might want to just play this of course and if there is time to play our matches, thats fine, if there isn´t i dont really see anything obvious i can change about that right now. :-/
So far, Cheers
Mike

Beastyqt vs Grubby?
could you post a link to the bracket on your site
|
|
|
WOW, nice lineup and hasuobs casting! ))
|
Too bad there's no English stream
|
I just got here, did Dimaga already lose or did he forfeit his spot?
Also Beastyqt got a free win, is that Grubby who forfeited the spot?
|
Omg Babyknight vs. Stephano
|
|
|
Thanks for HasuObs casting the german stream. He is not only a good player but a good caster as well. He gives a lot of deep input / insights.
|
Yep thanks! Great Lineup you've got in this Cup.
|
FUCK yes. BabyKnight beating Stephano 2-0!
|
It's hard to root for BabyKnight when you remember how rude and bm he was in his Dota1 days.

We have players who are still banned from TSL because of their past, but loved by the community because of their present nature and good manners. Sometimes people change.
Of course, having BabyKnight as one of the only good danish player doesnt give me a lot of options, so im obviously biased like hell .

Ahnaris stream is offline?
|
Guys watch the Stream! awesome line-up !
Now on Germanstream TLO vs Violet Map2
Violet won Game 1
Big fail they hosted the old Shakuras Version with the backway and players dont realize that evryone left ^^
|
ROFL kara! :D
bringing out the rage in so many players today!
|
I know exactly how Diestar feels like losing those games and I should probably feel bad for him but at the same time, as the casters pointed out (mainly Hasuobs), he made some mistakes which made it much easier for Kara. And Hasuobs shows once more how good a caster he is. I like that he is almost making fun of Kara (in a nice way) and his strategies and how he can hardly belief that he's winning the way he plays.
|
I missed the last couple of games, so can anyone tell me who won the finals? I guess it was Violet?
|
No one knows who actually won this tournament? I dont speak german, cant find anything on their site and the brackets doesnt say...
