If it's a Bo5 final, what advantage does the guy from the winners bracket get? Is it the standard, the looser has to win 2 Bo5s, the winner just 1?

4 a.m., challenge accepted!

Atleast this time around half the games will be tvt, so I can actually play some ladder to keep me awake.

Either Nestea or MKP to take it. Nestea is not throwing away leads for once, and I would love MKP to win another event, just for the sake of having a consistent best player for once.

Winners final NesTea 3-0 MarineKingPrime
Grand Final first set NesTea 1-3 MarineKingPrime
Grand Final second set NesTea 2-3 MarineKingPrime

Final score between them therefor ends up being Nestea 6-6 MarineKingPrime, but MKP wins!

Anyone know how brackets were made? I'm paranoid conspiracy theorist but was just wondering.
SC2 was doomed from the start.

"The Championship Bracket is an eight player double-elimination bracket played out on the final day of the event.

All matches are played out as a best-of-three, with the exception of the Upper Bracket Final and Lower Bracket Final, which are best-of-five, and the Grand Final, which is a best-of-seven."



This is all there is on the IPL website concerning the series.

Why do people keep talking about extended series, second sets in the finals and BO5 in the grandfinal?


Ther's nothing of this sort on the IPL official tournament/rules page.

I'm looking at the liquipedia and it states bo5 in the grand finals. I assume that the loser bracket winner will have to win 2 bo5s in the grand finals.

Well he couldn't ask for better. He would've been definitely doomed if he was on the side of MKP, MMA and Polt. Now he at least has some, albeit small chance of reaching finals

My predictions :


Quarterfinal
NesTea 1-2 Squirtle
Stephano 1-2 Bomber
MarineKing 2-1 MMA
Polt 1-2 aLive

+ Show Spoiler +
NesTea seems to be a threat again, but Squirtle is very very strong right now so I see him winning. Stephano seemed to do well against Bomber when he was in korea, but at that time Bomber was kinda slumping whereas now he has recovered and will be very hungry for victories after the disappointing GSTL final. MMA is very strong but he was far from invincible in TvT in his groupstage whereas MarineKing is very hot and wants to take revenge on MMA badly after the disappointing Super Tournament loss. Polt is very good but TvT is aLive best match-up by far and Polt will probably fall against aLive methodical style.


Semifinal
Squirtle 2-1 Bomber
MarineKing 2-0 aLive

+ Show Spoiler +
Bomber is the most known of these two StarTale players but Squirtle's recent form will allow him to win. It could go either way though. aLive is very strong in TvT but seems close with MarineKing and has been kinda trashed by the King in the GSL, I suspect that the mindgames favor MarineKing here.


Winners Final
Squirtle 1-3 MarineKing
+ Show Spoiler +
MarineKing always beat Squirtle, I suspect that the mindgames favor him here too and his TvP is superb.


Losers Round 1
NesTea 2-1 Stephano
MMA 2-1 Polt

+ Show Spoiler +
Stephano is very scary in ZvZ and does very well against koreans zergs, but NesTea will have studied him and will prepare accordingly to destroy him if they have to meet. However I see Stephano taking a game. Polt has trained a lot in TvZ in order to beat Stephano, I don't think that he has trained that much in TvT therefore MMA will finally be able to beat his TvT nemesis.


Losers Round 2
MMA 0-2 Bomber
NesTea 1-2 aLive

+ Show Spoiler +
I don't see MMA winning against Bomber since he lost to him in groupstage and Bomber wants to win badly to make up for the GSTL. NesTea beat aLive in the past but aLive's play was kinda weird and I expect him to play much better now. NesTea will not have enough stamina to beat him again.


Losers Round 3
Bomber 1-2 aLive

+ Show Spoiler +
I don't see aLive losing to Bomber because of his amazing TvT. Could go either way though.


Losers Final
aLive 1-3 Squirtle

+ Show Spoiler +
Squirtle will be helped by Bomber and many other players, he will prepare better than aLive resulting in a crushing victory.


Grand Final
Squirtle 1- 4 MarineKing

+ Show Spoiler +
MarineKing claiming another victory in his best match-up against an opponent he knows very well.

So much blue in the championship bracket... so many Terrans lol.

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IGN_ProLeague_Season_4#Championship_Bracket

I guess it's nice that most of them will kill off one another early on (at least, dropping to the loser's bracket), giving the single Protoss and two Zergs a chance to make it farther in the winner's bracket

Hopefully Bomber or Squirtle will be able to win to give Startale a trophy to bring back to Korea after what happened yesterday.
