I get the feeling SlayerS are taking this as serious as those showmatches before the GSL August finals.

I can't complain about Nestea/MVP/DRG/Bomber/MC all being in. Will be buying ticket unlike AOL1.

Probably won't be buying a ticket this time around because I doubt this will have the same quality as Code S. That being said though, it should be an interesting tournament. ^^

I hope we get the proper NesTea vs MVP final that Blizzcon was meant to deliver.

First place is 10k? That's a pretty good prize pool and I think enough motivation to want to win. This looks HEAPS better than the first one and there will be some live matches at the finals stages. Looks like i may get the ticket. Good job on GOM for improving for the first one was definitely very underwhelming.

That's a lot of games for a 1-2 week tournament. Should be some really good games with the amount of strong players participating.

Its the right decision imo that they send their not famous players. Its more interesting to see some underdogs. Slayers made a good decision. Its not only about winning. Its also the experience and the fun.

IM is bad imo. they should send their unknown players too.

(i know ganzi is not unknown but you know what i mean)

IM looking to win this shit, other teams choices show confidence in their more unknown players. We only see results in GSL tournaments, not in house tournaments, and that they have chosen these players might be an indicator that these players are very skilled.

It's group of five.

If you did Bo3's between the five, it would take eight hours.

Wow. Why does it look like IM is the only one that's approaching this as a serious thing?

Looking at the line-up it seems to me like all the teams are taking this seriously, with the possible exception of SlayerS. All the other teams seem to be sending out their strongest line-up, and even for Slayers it's entirely possible that their line-up is the strongest based on internal games or whatever.

That said, as much as I love Gom content, I won't be buying a ticket. Code A/S is enough for me.
