There were qualifiers for each server, there's a Russian server...what in the fuck do you have a problem with exactly?

Why in the fuck was Strelok and Whitera in the EU qualifier and Dimaga in the Russian?

I guess because Dimaga plays on the RU server more than Strelok & White-Ra? Blizzard has their own way of picking players, so I can't say that with certainty, but I seriously doubt they would invite players that haven't been playing on the server in question.

Goooo Naniwa and Sheth!!

It's going to be interesting to see how the Chinese guys will do. And hopefully all matches will be streamed. That would be really appreciated.

I dont understand this. In this interview at about 3:40 Justin Browder says "we make our mappool for ladder, for ladder-players".

Then why are they using it in a turnament for 50k?


+1 to this. Later he even says 'what happens in ladder is not appropriate for tournaments'

If Blizzard were delusional enough to believe that their maps were great for tournaments I could understand them using ladder maps for Blizzcon. However, they have clearly stated that their maps are not intended for tournament play, yet they still use them...

On the other hand, the player list is awesome and as several tournaments have shown, as long as the games are good people will forget everything else

Neither Dimaga nor BRAT_OK was GM on Russia server last season (they removed it this season) and both played on EU just like Strelok and WhiteRa.

Dimaga and white-ra represented Russia last year because they are considered partially ruassian. There were no qualifiers last year. This year there were EU qualifiers but Dimaga was not considered top 8 european when they invited the people to blizzcon eu Qualifier, White Ra was. Thats why White Ra was invited there but not Dimaga.
Later on Dimaga had proven hes skill again, and BratOK were considered the only world class true russian, so Blizzard decided to give Dimaga the other russian spot. White Ra already had a failed to qualify, so Blizzard did not want invite him even thou he might be considered better than Dimaga.


Fair? No. Makes sence? Yes.


EDIT: Same thing with Strelok as with White Ra.

I don't quite agree with you my friend.

MVP takes this with some effort invested. But I hope I'm wrong; he's the best player ATM but isn't by any means "one level above others" and some other stuff I keep hear about him here in TL.

Why can't we find a schedule for games anywhere? nvm found

http://us.battle.net/blizzcon/en/event-info/schedule/friday-schedule

GSL Finals friday night, Blizzcon Finals is Saturday night, I guess it's good to spread it out but it would make for a much better barcraft to have both finals back to back

The map choice is actually making my brain explode from frustration. How can they put in these maps when they have clearly said before they were ladder maps not tournament maps. Now they're using them for a $50,000 tournament. I'm sorry to say but quite a few matches will not be good or come close to what they could have been in a different map pool.
Blizzards stubborn approach to picking the maps for these tournaments will cause most people to not take the matches seriously. No matter who wins there will not be as much weight behind it as what there could have been.
I am disappointed and fear they won't ever realize how bad the maps are.

Its 2 toss, 5 terrans and 9 zergs... so some zergs will fight their way through even close pos spawns.

Is there any way we can get the community behind a message to Blizzard about changing the maps? Reddit? This is more than absurd, its all out retarded choices of maps.
