If you qualify from the open bracket you have to pay again to play in the pro bracket?

Correct. You pay the difference to match the price paid by the pro players who automatically made pool play.

Instead of having everybody pay the higher price we have a discounted rate for those in the open bracket so only 8 of them have to pay the larger sum if that makes sense!

Wasn't this supposed to start two hours ago? I don't mind waiting for the iaguz domination but it's getting a little silly (and late).

Edit: yay gogo

Glad I found out about this tournament from moonglade mentioning on sotg, I can imagine there's probably a fair few potential viewers that don't know about ACL. I'm telling all my friends about it at least.

Well it's the best from down under so of course I'll watch.

It does feel a little lonely here amongst you Aussies though, and even you are few. You probably have a forum of your own where you hang and chat but I was surprised about how low the viewer number was (I think it was around 250 when I fell asleep and 400 when I woke up to the group stage, which peaked at 800 something). I thought that the Australian scene was more numerous than that. Way more, actually.

I enjoyed the games and iaguz is still in it so I look forward to the second days broadcast. I just hope it starts on time. :p

Awesome tournament, huge thanks for ACLPro and Maynarde for keeping me entertained all weekend while studying, has been one of the most enjoyable tournaments I've watched in a long time.

Big props to Fenner, Paz, Tgun, Iaguz, mOOnGLaDe and everyone else who co-casted during the event.

HUUUUUUUUGE GRATS to KingKong for beasting through the bracket for a well deserves win.
