However, players that are part of a team, domestic or foreign, are eligible to particpate regardless of rank and are given first priority to particpate. The format is best of 3 for every round, and the map order is Daybreak, Dual Sight, and Antiga Shipyard.

Nice, I really liked Season 1, I think it's a great opportunity for players to get more exposure and in the end maybe even clinch a Code A spot.
Looking forward to see the foreigners and CoCa perform

I guess the Today's Winner will receive a Code A Seed for GSL 2012 Season 2 is a mistake and remained from the Season 1 Finals thead? Would make no sense any other way 
Good luck this season, was nice to watch last season!

The same with wolf casting, isn't it?
I mean, I don't mind either Wolf or Kalaeris casting, but both of them at the same time seems weird.

Only those listed games? Why skip Life's game? T.T

Life (or his opponent, I can't remember) was not present for his match, and there wasn't a Ro64 game played for that first set. If Life received a walkover win, you'll most likely see him Wednesday for the Round of 32. I just checked, HyperBoksun did not show for his games, and Life was advanced to the Ro32. You'll see him on Wednesday against the winner of the San vs KingKong match.

YES, Thank god Katu is commentating, I actually liked his commentating and was not happy with how the community handled his situation. I'm glad that Katu still casts! =).
|
some random master beating tasteless' man crush, what am I watching?
|
That was some sick play by tapokki_master, I'm a fan!
|
Ah, missed some of my guys
|
Ouch, Trimaster completely being outplayed. He needs a miracle for a comeback now.
|
TSLCenter, TSLPunisher, good to see TSL adding more players. Is there any info on them?
|
Is there an overall broadcast schedule? I still haven't really caught on, like 2(3?) days on Ro64, how many ever on Ro32 and so on...
I really like Kaelaris' casting, would like to see him at more high profile events... I know he was at IEM iirc, but still!
anyways this is a fun tournament to watch, would like to see Jinro and Haypro do well!

yeah thats what it looks like ??

it's a little sad that ewm gets so little attention as it's an awesome opportunity to see up and coming korean players
an updated lr thread would be appreciated as it's a little hard to know who is playing when the broadcast goes live
|
I apologize for not updating the thread today, got slammed by some last minute stuff in prep for Columbus today, been tied up all day
|
I really like this tourney, good quality of play with good casters that I haven't really seen before... plus keep it up with the classic rock... so much better then the music on most other streams...
|
♥ katu, great casting
|
|
|
Losira has been playing so strangely lately... He just seems to make very odd decisions...
|
losiras play is freaking awful, wtf happened to this guy !?

Waiting to see Life, ZvZ is his best matchup.
|
I like how katu reads the chat to answer questions people are having and resolve arguments directly =). Great Casting by the way!

Top played quite bad tho, he lost game 2 from not being sieged and let shine creep spread the entire map. Shine seems to like getting mutas just to deal with drops and transition into ling infestor bling quickly tho

Looks like no EWM cast today since Kael hasn't been sent the replays TT
Trying to get hold of Virgil quickly but I know he's at Columbus with his team so unfortunately I doubt there's much that can be done on short notice =(
