If I'm reading the site correctly this has a whopping 3 'members' currently signed up. Ouch. Makes sense though as travel to China has to be pretty ridiculously expensive.
|
More sign ups will come as the day goes on, Keep in mind that sign ups don't immediately show up, I have to approve them first. But yes sign ups will be lower than most other qualifiers as China is difficult travel.

Most players not invited to stage 2 or 3 were done on Saturday. 2 days is plenty of time to get home and situated IMO.

who honestly plans to leave on a Saturday and not watch the rest of the event lol... and who are the invites anyway? as alot of the notable players I see that did well in MLG are in stage 1 of this. (nvm saw the list, for stage 2 atleast but still alot of champ bracket players as well in stage 1.)

Let's go ROOT (and Minigun)!!!
|
Axeltoss said the 4 invites to stage 3 but I got a commercial after Violet and Idra. I assume one of the other two is KiLLeR, but the other?
KiLLeR and Demuslim
|
Axeltoss is being so strangely bitter and critical -- I usually like him but I just had to shut the stream off this time.
|
this game...
bizarre in a bad way
|
Time to leave Vibe, you're actually dead now.
|
I hope Suppy, Select and TT1 can show some good games!
|
Why did ViBe drop out? Destiny got a walkover against him so he now plays Suppy.

Makes sense, and I guess it helps his teammate. Although, it's a little lame Destiny got through the last two matches via walkovers against his teammates. Although if TT1 and ViBe didn't want to go, that is the best time for them strategically as a team.

That's one wacky impressive run by Everize

come on suppy!
however idk if suppy would be able to go to china, but sending destiny doesnt seem like a proper representative

You have to sign up at Stage 1, Stage 2 and 3 are invite and qualification stages. Unfortunately Stage 1 already passed

o0 it's Fenix, i have not heard of him in ages. Hope he's looking good then at IEM.

Go Axslav! Hoping for an ax-idra finals, would love to see them both in China.

Yeah, pretty much the same. We actually adapted our European and Asian qualifiers to pHARSIDE's system as it is both open for everyone at first but also makes sure that being successfull in past IEM events gives you a head start.

Good timing, Axel, I was just going to ask. Dont feel bad

Man. There was a time in the foreign BW scene when all he had were radio casts and people couldn't have been more excited.

Hehe, if Idra and Suppy win they will have to teamkill again. EG has some bad luck recently.

Kinda of true, but when you have 3 EG members in a 8 person mini tourney, its bound to happen.

Aaaaaaaaaaand Idra's out.

Aaaand Suppy wins the teamkill. I have been waiting for IdrA to make his comeback for so long. My heart. It hurts.

So the reigning Guangzhou champion will not be able to defend his title. Kind of a bummer. :/

Suppy getting revenge for MLG/WCS

That hero marauder had the most heroism of any unit. 14 kills including like 6 infestors.

But it says "all matches Bo3". Either there's different formats for EU and NA although it's not according to LP or it went wrong somewhere. Maybe I'm too tired to read correctly but EU had only bo3.

Holy shit Demuslim. What an aggressive style of terran, really sick sick play that time.

BRILLIANT play from DeMusliM against Violet.

This about sums it up.
One day he looks a world beater, and the next he has trouble against no-names.
|
Everize should be pretty easy for KiLLeR, but he's had one hell of a run up to this point (beating Select, TT1 and TriMaster last time, Idra this time), so anything could happen.

No NA player is actually representing NA in China, both Violet and Demuslim didn't participate in NA or American WCS, they are korean and uk, killer SA; Congrats to them, all good players; Go team International representing NA!!!

Demuslim now qualified for the third straight time through American qualifiers (as well as violet and Killer).
I doubt he could achieve that in Europe.

Snute, Slivko and syz made it through in EU, whereas Demu took out Violet and was undefeated going through. Hmm, EU bias.

Don't call out EU bias if you want to discuss properly.
He was undefeated? Yes, he won 2 matches.
Beating violet was impressive, but I'm not doubting he would be able to qualify one time in Europe, but 3 times straight.
Other North Americans who played in the last 4 IEMs were Minigun, Idra, Illusion and qxc. Their combined record is 1-15.
Demuslim (and violet and Killer) are lucky that they can dominated these every time in the qualifiers.
btw.: Do you think EU can be easy because slivko qualified? A guy who made it to the quarterfinals at the last 2 IEMs he played.

How about Fuzer, BabyKnight, Tarson in the EU qualifier. Or that EU gets 5 seeds? Not like IEM qualifiers are ever that stacked. Idta and Illusion are pretty good, both of them made it to the championship bracket.
Slivko has hardly achieved much other a few bits of hype, he is no better than Demuslim.
Do I think EU players > NA players? Yes, definitely. Do I think NA IEM Qualifiers = EU IEM Qualifiers? Yes, I do, they're hardly ever stacked.

Some guys needed to win one match to go through, if they give more spots (for example play LB and give LR 3 a spot) it would be possible to make it to stage two without playing a single match In this case Tunico and Hellokitty would have played the winner of two byes in LR 2 and would qualify without winning a match.

You're actually crazy if you think sLivko hasn't achieved much. He's been in the top 8 of multiple tournaments this year and last.
That said, if you watched Demuslim's games against Violet, he looked unstoppable. And he did really well in the group of death at the last IEM.

sLivko has a few iem top 8s? HSC 5? But does that mean he achieved something, or just did okay out of 32 or so players? He's on par with the rest of the nearly theres. It's the same logic by which people make Demuslim out to be a world beater, but what major event has he won recently, he's just talented and yet not the top of the top just as slivko. His only top 3 in a relatively big tournament has been 3rd at WCS Russia...
I think sLivko is good for a foreigner, but on par with the likes of IdrA, Illusion, etc. Doesn't mean the IEM EU qualifiers would be harder than NA for it.

As of late sLivko is definitely better than IdrA, Illusion, etc. Not hugely, enormously better, but definitely better.
The EU qualifiers are slightly harder than the NA qualifiers, even though EU is much stronger than NA overall. On the bright side, players like Suppy, Illusion, Scarlett, Axslav, etc. are improving almost every time I see them and players like Sheth and Idra are getting their groove back.

You say this every time, yet you have no hardcore data on ur side.How is 8 people out of the 20 people that play too few spots? You realize most people have to win only 2 matches to qualify. PLEASE spare me this non-sense talk you continue to make about our qualifiers when the data numbers discredit you over and over again.. You might have a convincing argument when our stage 1 sign ups are 64+ people.. Until then 8 people is plenty, or would you rather 16 out of 20 people qualify? Why stop there, lets make it 32 out of 20 people qualify...

God I hate this new format T_T I'm pretty sure it was the same for most events last season. Yeah, pretty much the same. We actually adapted our European and Asian qualifiers to pHARSIDE's system as it is both open for everyone at first but also makes sure that being successfull in past IEM events gives you a head start. The first qualifier has too few spots to make it to stage 2. You guys are starting to look like MLG 2011 format. You say this every time, yet you have no hardcore data on ur side.How is 8 people out of the 20 people that play too few spots? You realize most people have to win only 2 matches to qualify. PLEASE spare me this non-sense talk you continue to make about our qualifiers when the data numbers discredit you over and over again.. You might have a convincing argument when our stage 1 sign ups are 64+ people.. Until then 8 people is plenty, or would you rather 16 out of 20 people qualify? Why stop there, lets make it 32 out of 20 people qualify...
Make it double elim and give 12 spots.

You're ridiculous. You aren't even making an argument, you are just saying what you want without any basis at all.
