This is going to be just epic... This makes for even better reading than the World Championship finals at Cebit last Season.
Being an ESL TV Premium subscriber, I was kind of pissed when I heard that TakeTV introduced their own premium and I would no longer be able to watch HSC in HD via ESL TV. It was still pretty much worth it anyways for the IEM events + all the other stuff on ESL TV but WCS was in HD for everyone (afaik) and I wasn't so sure anymore. But now... If all events this season will be as exciting...36€ for the whole year feels like a really good deal again :-)
Btw: I really hope that some fans manage to be there on wednesday. Would be a shame to have this massively stacked open tournament happen in front of an empty hall.
AND PLS: Don't let those XMG guys into the IEM hall again. The noise level their booth is putting out just f***** annoying!

Don't get me started on that XMG stage... -____________- I like XMG but that stage was just obnoxious and overkill... nor did they listen to our concerns at all.

Isn't Naniwa going to be in this tournament? I swear Mionix was sending him there. He is going.
Ah ok. Was confused because he was under the open bracket participants.

This event will be epic judging from the player pool. 
But can somebody explain to me why the player pool is so good? I mean, usually IEM didn´t attract multiple GSL Winners(MC is an exception here.) and so many good players. The player pool was never bad at IEM(They always had good players, but never 3 GSL Winner in one Tournament+Guys like ForGG, ...), that´s not what I´m saying but compared to previous IEM Tournaments the player pool is much better. It almost looks like a MLG.

Well MC won the championship earlier this year and they've had him before at their constituent events.
ForGG recently joined a foreign team and moved into the Millennium house so this is probably the first of many foreign events that we'll see him in.
Nestea, MVP, and Yonghwa I believe were supposed to be doing some other promotional event at Gamescom so they may as well have signed up.
and everyone else is pretty standard to see at international events such as Bomber and Puma.

Yeah, when you sit in the front row and don´t understand the commentators, smth. is wrong. Do you know, if those people can be avoided this time.

They are quite old: http://www.esl-world.net/masters/season6/guangzhou/ scroll down about half the page, there is a topic with all replays of that tournament. It was played about a year ago though.

Edit: Anyone know when the four remaining TBA guys are going to be announced? Still pros left who aren't completely confirmed or will they pick random people from the venue?
