Glad to see Leenock and Oz coming.

Hypothetically, if Startale and Prime were the GSTL finalists, we would have 20 of the current code S RO32 players at the event!! Assuming each brought all of their code S players.

I think because of the format being crammed into 1 weekend, this is an even bigger event than Code S. In some ways it reminds me of the GSL Super tournament, where all the Code S players where there, plus a bunch of people looking to prove themselves.

The pool play on saturday is going to be comically good.

Now for MVP to win their TL match tonight so I can finally meet my hero (no, not hero), Genius!

this plus GSTL finals and all players from both teams in finals able to participate in IPL qualies, makes it GSL-esque experience. i don't think west scene ever had such a fierce competition at one place, so pumped for it, more than MLG for sure

Grubby won't attend this tournament, right?

He streamed today from home.

I hope MVP's condition is decent and we can see the comeback of the best sc2 player

Unless there's massive upsets or absurd bracket luck it's basically a guarantee.

Looks good. A little sad the you don't have any of Day9/Artosis/Tasteless/Bitter/Rotterdam, but the lineup you have is decent. Try and get a few players up there too once in awhile if they are knocked out of the tournament.

All the groups look brutal. Poor White-Ra. Stephano, who has had his number in something like 100 practice games over the last month. And MKP, arguable the strongest SC2 player in the world right now. Ouch.
