I don't even...

Setting koreans against eatchother.
Standard Dreamhack, standard. My thoughts exactly. Some of the groupings and matches are a little suspicious as to how they turned out. All this Korean killing korean and EG and Liquid killing eachother. They randomly matched groups and #1s play #2s, stop being so paranoid. Example; Group D is matched with Group G resulting in White-Ra (#1 D) vs Naama (#2 G) & Ret (#1 G) vs ToD (#2 D) Please show me a source of this information.
All I can give you is this source: http://www.dreamhack.se/dhw11/files/2011/11/DHW11-StarCraftIIRulebook-1.1.pdf
On the second day group stage #2 will be played, 16 will advance to the playoffs. At the end of the day the playoff will be drawn. All matches Best of three (BO3)
I did not see them draw it, so perhaps just believe them on their word? I know it's hard for you, but just try.
The group pairing part is not in the rules explicitly but is common sense, done to ensure no #1 and #2 can meet each other before the final again if they win everything. You can check the bracket to see it has most likely been done.

I hope you're not talking about game 3. Whitera was just straightup outplayed.

Mmmm, upsets. A tasty treat for lunch.

cloaked banshees into 6 minute expand = gimmicky all-in LOL. white-ra played like a bronze scrub that game. you're probably too biased to see it.
there's a reason why so many terrans don't do standard 1 rax fe -> 3 rax -> starport -> 5 rax as often. it's because it DOESNT work anymore, so terrans have to come up with a new way to beat protoss.
edit: not sure if getting trolled

if white ra was so good in that series he would have built a cannon in his mineral line. but guess what? He wasnt good. He played poorly and got outplayed. It happens.

This song sounds like "Oh Naama..." Anyone else hearing it?

Bleh wanted white-ra to win..
Wasnt that much AntiNaama, you guys are overexaggerating. Was more like White-Ra love then Naama hate.

Day9 is holding up the flow @ the signing. Mr bitter waits and waits, while day9 is talking with fans

Im really curious if Naniwa's death march will continue on into this tournie.

Good thing there's no liquibet for this, because id already be 0/2
|
The only good thing about the results so far is that we might have a Mana - Naama finals rematch! How about that for a surprise?

No it was just Naama hate. They barely even talked about Whitera the entire game 3.

It wasn't a bloody all in, it was a fairly standard attack against someone who decided to double expand with not much of an army. His attack included some cloaked banshees, boo friggin hoo, they're a great unit for DPS

Being able to prepare and execute very specific "all-in" builds takes skill imo and its much more fun to watch than standard play with mmm.
