22:00 Groups 5-8 Round 3 Wait so your leaving 3hours to play all those games :S Guess its going to be difficult to show all the games ;( That's 14:00--19:00 for groups 1-4 and 19:00--00:00 for groups 5-8, so it's 5 hours per group. Each group has 3 rounds and each round has two or one matches. With 4 groups playing simultaneously that's maximum of 8 games at a time. Two games will be covered by the official streams each round and some of the rest are covered by other streams. In the second group stage there's only two groups playing simultaneously.
each group actually has five match (dual tournament style) and at least 3 games per match (bo5) so that's 15-25 games

Yes but u fail to add in that it is not 2pm-7pm, there is a gap for change over of the groups.
its 1hour and 30minutes per game according to what is wrote down.
Groups 1-4 game 1 starts 2pm
by 3:30pm (1hr 30minutes later) you need to be sat down playing game 2. In a BO5 that is cutting it close because you could easily be playing a bo5 in an hour leaving 30minutes to prepare for the next game, that is if an hour for casted bo5 is enough, if its 3-2 and you add into that add breaks for stream and casters your cutting it close. GOM in ithe group games last from (talkng from brittish time zone perspective) 10:10am to 1:30-2:00pm that is 3-4hours just playing BO3 group stage game, let alone adding in the bo5, and they have adds too which im sure this tournament will be doing.

Tough group for HerO, both Elfi and Socke are pretty good at PvP. Luckily his own PvP has been looking rather strong recently.
Also, I just noticed that ForGG's new ID sounds completely, completely different if you read it out loud.
|
I like how elfi got in a group with two protoss' and one zerg, a zerg which isn't a big name (yet?). Pretty much the best group he could have hoped for :D

Why would he do that?

Well im pretty uncomfortable with the use of GSL groups but they cant please everyone I guess. At least they seem to have done an excellent job seeding the groups!
|
Great groups, great players, and great maps. Whhhaaat? Look MLG, this is what the Map pool should be, not your outdated stuff.
|
Sick player line-up, looks like there is no weak group and THAT 5 EG players 
|
Love the GSL groups/Bo5 format, should be really awesome with no meaningless games or 3-way-tie scenarios... and as it's Bo5 if you get knocked out, you probably deserve it. Put on top of that the awesome player pool and this event should be amazing :D
|
Really loving the look of the groups and the format. As a EG fan I was expecting some team kills with so many players participating but happy to see that's not the case. Never really followed Suppy so I don't know his best match up but glancing at his stats his biggest scalps have been against Protoss players, so that's a shame he didn't get one in his group
|
Will there be community streams like at DreamHack events in order to cover more of the matches?
It'd be a shame if so few of all the potentially sick games get streamed.
|
Oh, finally IdrA and DeMuslim, haven't seen them in a tournament for a long time. Still, I think HerO Will take them all.
|
Sick lineup. Looking at foreigners only, clearly better than last MLG arena (yeah, reason is most players didnt try to qualify there).
A: Could even see MC falling here. European PvP + Liverzergs unconventional ZvP. Favourites are MC and Titan.
B: violet and Moon should be too strong here.
C: Really close group. Who advances depends a lot on the pairings in the used GSL group system. I say Fraer and Mana.
D: Idra once again with a lucky group. Don't think he would advance out of any other group. But here Taeja + Idra.
E: Hero + anyone. Socke wasnt too strong lately, but he always amazes offline when you don't expect it.
F: I believe Huk will fall here, he looked weak playwise and mentally lately. Naamas unconvential play and a good european PvPer is exactly what he could lose to. TheSTC and Seiplo advance.
G: Cyto has sick ZvZ, he may be getting through by only winning this MU. Other than that: Kas and Ret.
H: Sase and Puma seem to be the favourites. Puma is a bit shaky, but Nightend and BratOK don't look too strong recently to upset him.
|
I think Hero, Taeja, MC, Violet are favorites to take this. Groups look pretty competitive. I think MC has the weakest group and he should win that easily.

Hero vs Taeja in and epic final that goes in Hero's favor with a 4-3 score? The other way around would be awesome too.
There is too much Liquid epicness coming the next weeks.

MC, Titan
Violet, Moon
Fin, Mana
Taeja, nobody
Hero, Socke
Stc, HuK
Ret, Kas
Puma, Sase
