When you click on the "vs" on the bracket site you can see the results.
But yes looks like the community is a bit lazy on contributing these days

Ah this is actually really interesting. I love these qualifiers as they help us see who is actually good in the American scene which has no weekly tournaments.

Well NA only has Zotac (but open to KR/EU players), and the daily playhems (also open).. but unfortunately the NA scene cant be bothered to even keep track of the playhem in LP.
It is then hard to judge who is good from what rest we have .. thats like ESEA clan matches and MLG+Qualifiers couple of times a year.
|
Gogo Boyo, he can surely beat IdrA, hopefully he can beat the winner of Demuslim/goswser!
Also, ouch with Golden vs. Sson 1st round ><, pretty unfortunate one of them has to drop down right away into loser's bracket O.o
|
I'd like to see something other than the usual Demuslim/KiLLeR/token Korean representation from NA this IEM, so I'm rooting for Boyo, Goswser and SaroVati!
However, I expect Demuslim, Golden and Goswser to qualify.

Not Sson/Stardust/M18M? That's a bit surprising. I haven't seen him SC2 play like at all but he's always high on the ladder, he's talked about and he's Korean, so shouldn't he be a favourite, too?

Well, I think the winner of Sson/Golden will win the top half and qualify and frankly Golden has done a lot more than Sson, so I'd call him the favourite for that match. Then going through the lower bracket would be hard and Demuslim or Goswser, I think, should also be able to beat him.
This is all based only on what I've seen of Sson, which is pretty much limited to NASL qualifiers and ESEA games.

I've seen Demuslim beat Sson on stream, and I'd give the edge to good Demuslim. Bad Demuslim wouldn't make it past round one.

Pretty sick hold from Stardust. O_O
|
He held that push on Antiga with 2 forges going nonstop? Now I've seen everything.
|
God, Golden could not have picked a worse spot to engage at the end there.
Rofl, Tal'Darim Altar. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

He was dead anyway. Protoss held the Stephano-style push with more probes, 3/2, blink, and the third base intact.
|
i don't think Son has played Tal Darim very much at all ~~:
|
Is every round in stage 3 a bo5?

|
Idra beat a Protoss, alert the press
|
really bad lategame control/macro by stardust :/

Major props for doing this well then, even making it to this stage is a good accomplishment.

If IPL is feeding Hyun, then IEM is feeding Killer.

I'm surprised other SA players like Capoch or Fenix don't try to qualify for these events. It's just gonna keep being Killer that represents them at every single event until the end of time.

Is this over now, or is Idra still playing Killer?

Sson vs Golden for the last spot right now. Idra and Killer don't play since they already qualified.
|
Did Demuslim actually play against Sson? or did he forfeit?
