Howdy folks! My name is Mike Martin, aka Mathas Starcraft, and I'm here to give you all some details into the tourny coming up this Monday the 23rd and running through the 25th! Some big names will be playing and we hope you tune in!
When: July 23rd - July 25th. Starting at 12:00pm EST (6:00pm CET)
Prize Pool:
1st: $700 2nd: $200 3rd: $100
Elimination Format: The StarCraft 2 tournament will have a totally different system than the League of Legends and DotA2 tournaments. We invited 32 players, which will be split into 8 groups and the best two players of each group advance into the next round. In the second round the remaining 16 players will play in a Single-Elimination with Best-of-3 matches. The grand final will be a Best-of-7 match and the match for 3rd place will be Best-of-5.
Map Pool: Current GSL Map Pool
GIVEAWAY: What? You misheard me? Why yes sir and/or madam there will indeed be a giveaway! What kind? An Alienware PC giveaway of course! More details you ask? Be sure to tune in during the stream for how to win!
WhiteRa vs Sjow coming up on Samology's stream. Feels like it should be a couple of more thousand spectators for a tournament with this field. Perhaps it picks up later.
Edit: What's up with Ret? Seems like he didn't show up to his first game. Edit2: Don't know what to believe, the Liquipedia page is a bit messed up right now. :/
A PvP finals between elfi and Feast sounds interesting. Surprising that those two made it there and not the two guys playing for third right now; Kas and Bly.

What the actual fuck, elfi! :D
Elfi really owned Feast in the finals, it wasn't even close. What ever Feast tried to do, Elfi just microed better even when he was being countered hard.

Ouh a lot of bias here. Micro-ing better when you have one of the worst APM in the business against someone who is almost always over 200 ? It seems far-fetched to me. No what makes elfi strong are his one base play, and the fact that he has a killer instinct. He evaluates the situation carefully and knows when someone cannot defend.

To be honest, elfi won couple of games by outmicroing with forcefields. I'm guessing you didnt watch the games. Still pretty biased comment i agree, it was a close series every game was really close.
EPT
, and then darkforce made short work of me !
