Did anyone else read the title and think that the prize was a bottle of cologne?

TL thread on IEM format


Thanks that what i was after.

I quite disliked the MLG IPL et al format where they had group plays for all the days on the main streams and open bracket is shown - if at all - behind paywall.
From a business standpoint totally understandable but not my personal preference :-)
So yep, gonna be curious what IEM will show us =)

God damnit, it really sucks to see MMA not being able to attend, especially since he was able to qualify. It would have been nice to see him at this tournament, since he would have been the favorite to win it.

I know I'm going to receive a ton of crap, but watch out for PiG. He's playing really well lately, that with a bit of luck and he can advance out of his group.

With MLG it's more of a time constraint.

The IEM Open Bracket is only 32 players, as opposed to the massive 256 Double Elim bracket MLG uses.

Is the open bracket single or double elimination?

The open tournament will run in 4 separate DE brackets. The winner of the upper bracket automatically qualifies for the main event with a high seed and the winner of the lower bracket qualifies for the main event with a low seed.

16 of the open tournament slots will be available for online booking to known pros and the other 16 will be available to local players on a first come, first serve basis

My guess how it goes..

Group A: SortOf and Inori
Group B: Feast and viOlet
Group C: sLivko and elfi/moonglade*
Group D: Vortix and SuperNoVa

*Can't decide which one.

Carmac tweet:
#IEM gamescom will be the best @IEM event yet. Hint: @Artosis would go apeshit at the open bracket players list.

Hopefully somebody puts this sortof kid in his place. Kid doesn't deserve to advance. So far, his play has been all luck based and dice rolls and coin flips. I think inori and demuslim and nerchio will show this kid who's boss. The open bracket players will beat this kid too. Honestly, sortof is getting too much hype and too much attention. People keep talking this sortof kid up like he's the next stephano. He has no championships, hasn't ever beaten a top tier Korean like mc and has unstable all luck coin flippy play.
