It seems that the gaming calendar is based purely on seedings. It's understandable, but in this way all the best matches will be played simultaneously. Some variation would serve the audience much better.

> > > ESL StarCraft 2 Country Championship 2012 homepage < < <

Sorry for the belated update: We set the groups online yesterday so teams can begin scheduling, we just finished updating the homepage and the official news is out now ( http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2/country_championship/news/184954/ )

http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2/country_championship/2012_groupstage/results is the page with all the fixtures. The dates you see now, in grey, are NOT scheduled matches

Teams organise matches themselves, the dates you see now in grey are the 'default' dates created by the system. Teams schedule their own matches, within -1/+2 weeks of those dates.

Team managers and captains are being informed through the players board of everything they need to know, so check your mails if you are one!

China is in "europe group #5" as all the Chinese team are all players that are in Europe.

This needs SO much more hype then it has now! This could easily be the equivalent of a REAL wold championship, were it isn't the individuals only, but a group effort, to find out what nation will come out on the top of them all.

Could easily be one of the most exciting offline (for now) events onwards. Imagine when getting to the top 8 team if they were to play the grand finals in a LAN event? Holy Batman.

Let all support this as much as we can

spread the word, and cheer your hearts out for your country!

I really hope someone will come up with a "Country Championship Show ", covering the best and interesting matches, updated results etc. But I guess that will have to wait till "season" 2.

First match was played yesterday, Russia vs Croatia ( http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2/country_championship/2012_groupstage/match/25351816 - warning: ESL match pages always show results!)

Italy vs Moldova has at least ESL TV Italy streaming, streams will always be posted on the match page, http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2/country_championship/2012_groupstage/match/25351819

He was on the lineup during the LANL, but he didn't play much, he was always on the B line.
I agree with you and don't think he has the necessary skill to play for the brazilian team, but unfortunately, not all the players have the availability to play always, then we need some reserves and for that I believe he fits.

In my opnion the better line for Brazil would be: Potiguar, Lamp, Reason, Tunico, Fortune, Lienchi, Kelsen, Assaf and Cenios.
But is questionable, because we have 4 players in a upper level (Potiguar, Lamp, Reason and Tunico) and the rest in a similar lower level, this includes Dakkon.
