Both groups will play round robin against each other team in their group.

Oh my... this is a depressing match up
coL lost all their Korean players, but they still have some good foreigners and they have teams for many other games. I dont think theyre going to die.
Though then you'd expect the playstyle if he's a practise partner... I dunno.
Maybe he got metagamed... Practice X way and then rush hellions in an official match.... or what was an official match at the time... plus it could have been Center's first cross-server match... Unless his KR account is called "TSLKiller".
Urmmm, this game can be described as insane. Sasquatch had a huge lead in mid-game and late-game, but ValuE expertly played his late-late-game. I really loved ValuE's WP harass, Feedback use and stalling techniques.

Wouldn't exactly call ValuE's play there mediocre by any chance. Sure, he's no PartinG or HerO, but his late-late game tactics were phenomenal.

Sure, I was talking about him in general. You won't see him in Code S any time soon, that's for sure. It was more Sasquatch's inability to deal with DT/warpprism harass. I mean come on, he had a 4k 5k bank, and all he had to do was dump a few spores around his bases, set a muta or something on the warpprism.
It was a bit silly considering how he was battering Value at the beginning, denying his 3rd etc. I'm really happy Value won, as a Protoss who has been decimated by ling/bling/muta too many times.

Without the important people even attending (aka HyuN and Symbol).
TSL is using this opportunity to showcase their less successful players to foreign teams/observers... I wouldn't expect HyuN or Symbol to even come out if ValuE loses...

I guess so, because having HyuN or even Symbol just would not be fair. It is a try-out process I suppose, but I doubt ValuE, Venus and Mamuri will find teams at all, especially Venus and Mamuri who have been close to inactive or retired.

I know for sure Mamuri is very active on ladder... HuK got matched up against him like 10 times in a row on his stream the other day... Unless someone is smurfing as "TSLMamuri" on the KR server for some reason.
