I would guess that they start within 15 minutes. For us viewers new to the BW players choosing who to watch is so hard TT
There is also supposedly a 30 minute pre-show, but they probably won't.
A preshow WOULD be nice, though. Have Tastosis break down the eight players and introduce them to the audience watching. Tell them their accomplishments, what they're known for, etc.

Yeah really. Although alot of them were in medivacs.
? The high number of medivacs were a big factor in MKPs win... and Stephanos low drone count.
Give him the benefit of the doubt and assume his 'yeah really' was sincere :p
Idk, I want to say MKP basically had the game except the casters tried to make it sound/look close. IMO instead of MKP barely holding each time, it was more like Stephano tried to be aggressive but never could break MKP and eventually just ran out of gas (bad pun) and larvae.
MKP made Stephano trade so inefficiently--- his baneling: marine kill ratio was probably close to 1, even including that big hit at his main ramp at the end. Also, he came out with a supply lead/ tie in engagements pretty consistently.
Considering mules for more marines trading for limited 3 base gas for Zerg, the end was pretty obvious. The fact that MKP had so many medivacs made it so Stephano needed to land two fungals, a fungal/bane or double bane to kill MKP's bio, otherwise it was basically useless.
I usually root for my fellow terrans, but I really wanted to see MKP lose that game. I absolutely despise reddit, and I just hate everything about RKP. It's ridiculous though that the semi-final is only a Bo3, really MLG. Oh well, at least DRG will put him back in his place and we can see him cry like a baby again in front of thousands of people.
In hindsight, Stephano should have retreated with what he had left after taking out all the scvs and then droned. It seemed like he was looking for the kill, which didn't work out, and then he overestimated how ahead he was by subsequently investing in tons of tech.
stephano traded a lot of units in all those attacks even when he killed a bunch of scvs. The casters always seem to forget 40 scvs late game is not the same as early or mid I mean 5 ccs replaces those really fast and just saved up mules can make up for them almost. Its not a huge deal if you have army lead.

This is the key, mix that with his amazing micro = formula for success.
