I like how all the polls so far have 100% for one player.

Sheth vs Desrow will be a real clash of heavyweights.
I had to.

Kind of spoilers (Nony vs Major) below.
+ Show Spoiler +If I recall, due to a ton of drama most of the people that view this thread actually do know the result of Nony vs Major already so that might have something to do with that one. (It's even in a big statement on the liquidpro page for example.)
|
Well there is a big, big match up !
|
yes, this is indeed big.
o_o
literally
|
The first World championship still gives me chills to think about it finally another is coming cant wait
|
I thought Nony vs. Major had already happened...?
|
gogo Desrow!

There casting from replays AFAIK.
|
Hm, how exactly have the brackets been created or the participating players determined?
edit: just asking because I miss several notable NA players above the level of Nony.
|
|
|
I still think it was a bit of a travesty that Ostojiy received so little votes. TT1 too, but Ostojiy placed second in Canada!
|
Hmm. So we're gonna end up with 5 players on team world? Was sure it was going to be 7 or 8 for reserves :c

By the way, has there been any information about the korean team?
Concerning the upcoming match-up, I think my predictions pretty much are the same as everyone's.

Top 5 GSL rank plus a couple other players or top 7 gsl or something.

Biggest travesty: Sase not making EU.

Top 7 GSL is DRG, Mvp, Life, Seed, MC, Squirtle and TaeJa. That would be a total stomp, Stephano can take out some of these on a good day but the other foreigners? Also, assuming TaeJa or Life(both will attend IPL 5) will make top 4 GSL, which isn't very implausible they would play in three tournaments on one weekend. I am curious how this will work out.

Is the stream starting soon? Don't see it on the sidebar...
[Edit] Nevermind, it's just not on the event stream list, but it's still running on the livestreams section

|
Weren't the results of Nony vs. Major already, how should I put this, "spoiled?"
|

the NA scene is purely a popularity/pissing contest much alike U.S. politics where actual merits and credentials doesn't matter at all.

Yeah so as a media company why wouldn't they show the 1 game they actually got?

Suprise Scarlett not playing Fight Club!
75% it's ST Life replacing her though.

Nony missed the first match, after complaining in his Fanclub he got it resheduled, at the rescheduled match Nony left after losing the first match, later claming that he thought 'single elimination' meant best of 1. After the dust settled Team Liquid penalised Nony by saying he couldn't compete for 2 months.

Good on TL. Players shouldn't be able to get away with pulling BS.

damn desrow took out sheth, I'm shocked in a good way. Glad to see MoW is paying off
|
Wow Desrow over Sheth, didn't expect that... until Desrow started chatting in the twitch chat, then it became a sure thing.

No, apparently it was a misunderstanding between GOM and IPL. Its 5 including Nani and Stephano.
So they changed it to 2 through EU qualifier and 1 NA.

what! really? That is stupid. Also, in that case, why is there a bronze match for EU but not NA?

Surprised that Sheth lost, and I'm glad that Tyler's taking a little break to gather himself. Maybe that'll be the push in the right direction, the stress-reducer that he needs to collect himself and find his focus. Best of luck to Tyler during his two month hiatus

huk just tweeted that GSL decided to drop 1 spot for the NA qualifer, now EU has that extra spot.

since at first we were told top 2 na/top 3 eu qualify these still get trip to IPL 5 and entry into IPL 5 bracket but only top 1 na/top 2 eu get into the gslwc

Yeah as we've already been discussing for the last couple of days. However the top 5 from this play-off all win trips to IPL5.
