Cool to see Bo5 group stages. Hopefully the increased number of games won't tire the pros out.

8 groups BO5 GSL style... Man you will have to run like 2-4 groups at the same time. Hopefully you will get enough streamers for it.

If only I can afford real ROG gear. I will have to stick with regular Asus mobo & parts.

<3 Assembly, such a great tournament. Looking forward to it!

Also, love the format. It's great. Glad you changed it based on player feedback, tournaments actually listening to the players and fans is always good!

Love the new format. Time shouldn't be an issue, even if a group takes 5-6 hours, the players will only be playing 1 group stage a day. Looking forward to seeing the players!

I can only imagine the sea of zergs and protoss they will have to invite if they give the invites out on current performances of players.

Double elimination format for group stages is most. No "tie-breakers", no meaningless games and you don't depend on other player results.

I prefer round-robin personally - luck-of-the-draw is simply more important in the GSl-format and I consider that a weakness in group-play - but hats off for giving it a try.


Yes luck of the draw is slightly more important in the GSL-format. With round robin you always get groups with 3-way ties and having the result in games you did not play affect if you make it to the next stage is worse than the order in which you play your opponents.

The format surely is something new. Even just the GSL format in an European tournament would have been seen as experimental, but add the bo5s and it's almost too experimental.

Good thing there's a whole day scheduled for each of the group stages. In comparison, the recent DreamHack Summer also had three days of games, but four times the player count, three group stages and playoffs twice as big. ASUS ROG should have no problem even with the bo5s, unless they have too few computers and a single group starts lagging the whole schedule. Bo5s can be a bit tricky as they can last anywhere from 20 min to 2 hours.

One thing to note is that all players who manage to go through the group stages are having a slice of the prize money, which is a nice thing.

I really like the group stages. Now the players who advance into the price pool will have to face 7 other opponents instead of just 2, i.e. the chance of any lucky drawings will be close to zero.

Very cool that you're doing the GSL group format, I prefer that, and if you can schedule the Bo5 correctly that will be awesome, but it may be tricky.
