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. | ||

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 | ||

That's not it http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/ladder/grandmaster/last/2 http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/ladder/grandmaster/last/1 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

Are blizzard really not going to change the map pools? This is going to be a joke to the modern SC2 tournaments... | ||
