Format
This double-elimination tournament features 8 teams from around the world and is an All-Kill team format. This match is being played for the Winners Round of 8. The first team to defeat everyone on the opposing team's roster (5 wins, or a best of 9), will move on in the Winners Bracket, while the loser will drop down into the Losers Bracket. Keep in mind that this has a $10,000 prize pool, and only three teams will make it to the money!
coLMVP is an extremely potent partnership, featuring two of the top 3 players from MLG Providence: Naniwa and DongRaeGu. With seasoned veterans from coL and an array of skilled South Korean players at their disposal, coLMVP is certainly an imposing team. ReIGN has two players that have been in the top 10 of MLG's seeding for the entire year of 2011: KiWiKaKi and SLush. Their two newest players, Artist and Inori, are a very powerful pair as well, with Artist scoring an all-kill against Vile Gaming and Inori taking out MC and HuK back to back at IPL 3 in the championship bracket. Here are their full rosters:

Will probably be quite an easy win for CoL/MVP. Kiwikaki, Artist and Inori might come up with something tricky and take a couple of wins, but CoL/MVP has a much, much deeper and stronger line-up.
For a moment I thought I had gotten lucky and I'd get to see them play today but since thats not the case still looking forward to reign dominating colmvp but good. Slush all kill incoming?
Eh I suppose I couldn't get that lucky but seriuosly hope theres atleast some koreans left for him.

Exactly, which is why Rgn is gonna get crushed in quite easily. So easily itll be as if they almost didnt show up an got walked over
Let's go coL! I'm hoping to see rsvp, Ryze and the newly switched QXC. It's a shame we don't see more of rsvp and Ryze. Both are great guys and amazing players who deserve a bit more of the limelight.
Ah, good to see the rematch. If col-MVP fields any decent Koreans, then they should win. If they go full-foreigner, Naniwa and QXC need to pull some serious weight.
I think Reign will take it. Keep in mind I don't see the Koreans being pulled out for the ipl games. Since that would be really werid. The CoL roster in NA cannot compete with the roster in NA for RGN.
Wow, Tails goes first.. he is no pushover. Remember when he blew everyone's minds when he defeated MVP and Nestea back to back, eliminating IM in GSTL? That was awesome!
HD and CPJ not noticing Catz's first 7 infestors popped out before pathogen glands finished. He couldn't have used fungal growth on the mutas, so he had to toss IT

He did an attack on the third and immediately got surrounded losing like 7 sentries and some zealots doing no damage, then got his sentries surrounded at his third and lost. He literally forcefielded the lings into his sentries it was kinda funny.

Tails did some sort of gateway pressure off two base when Slush had three, it failed miserably, Slush countered as Tails was finishing his third and crushed him
Just got here... nice run by Slush to start it off. Inori should be able to take down another Protoss as well, but it will be difficult for them to take out some of the strong players in MVP.
Redundant...... Keen is a monster. On a serious note, why can I not get enough of this gif? Anyone else feel concerned and having the same problem? I'm subconsciously finding things on the internet that allow me to respond with Keens' Gif. It must be my inner E-SPORTS fighting.

Spades has potential, and would probably beat 90% of amateur players in the States.
Can we try and be more constructive to aspiring pro players? They have it tough as it is.
He's been labeled as the captain on a pretty high level professional team, I would imagine that people are holding him to a higher standard that "90% of amateur players in the States". I am by no means encouraging excessive negativity, but calling a player out on playing bad in a LR thread should not be a big deal.
This isn't an amateur tournament and people weren't really excessively trashing Spades, no need to make a big deal of it.
