Contrary to popular belief Stephano is not from the States, any mindless spam asserting otherwise after this time (19:48 KST/ 5:48 AM EST/ 10:48 GMT) will meet a moderator response. We have enough confusing spam posting in LR threads these days. Lets try to keep the love for everyone's favourite French zerg reasonable. And as always: - No player bashing. - No caster bashing. - No balance whining. Enjoy the games. | ||

Whether or not MC wins or loses, he will advance. If he wins, he will be advance further into the bracket because he was 2nd place in the group. This means Stephano will qualify for the next round of the Blizzard Cup. If he loses, he will advance as 3rd place having to play another round, also meaning Stephano cannot advance. There is a reason for MC to win this match, because he has to play one less series. Secondly, he doesn't hate Stephano and no one wants to see someone throw games away because he "dislikes" someone. I'm sure he likes DRG as much as he likes Stephano. EDIT: not one less series for MC | ||

And whether he wins or not, he won't be in 1st place so he'll still be seeded into the first round of the ro6 no matter what. That said, I hope to see him play a sick game. Even though I want DRG to win. :p Ah, so it's other way around. Thanks! Well, anyway both wants to win, no need to take it easy. | ||

Not to mention Polt has personally destroyed MC many times. And it's not like he can predict who 2nd/3rd on the other bracket will be. | ||

A2 plays B3, B2 plays A3. all 2nd and 3rd place go to the same round | ||
