MOD NOTE: The bracket on Liquipedia is not final and should be assumed to be speculative. If you are a competitor, trust what MLG Admins tell you over the bracket. | ||

WCS America should just be renamed GSL Code B to save us all the confusion. At what point does it cease being WCS America and become WCS Western Korea? When no one from the region beats the qualifiers? When a third of the competitors in the Premier League need a translator? Or is it when they realize that when they do the offline events that they're paying for more international plane tickets than trans-America ones? Anyway, congrats Alicia and Oz. You can't take away a win in a 512 man tourney, even if I think you shouldn't have been allowed to sign up in the first place. | ||

They were both lost in the early game, and early game ZvZ is probably the most lag affected match up | ||

But to answer your question, no, you are definitely not the only one. at least the main part of each region is formatted the same. imagine if they let each region come up with their own tournament format on top of their own qualifier format.

Blizzard wants a "unified approach", one broadcasting organization per region. That is their plan, this has nothing to do with MLG. MLG could not give a caster spot to anyone else even if they wanted to. Blizzard doesn't want that to happen. | ||

That's up to 6 best of 3s; he could end up playing until a few hours before they're supposed to leave for the studio. Dunno what coach Park will think of that. Didn't EG-TL play their PL match yesterday? | ||

If they don't qualify here, they might have to sit out the challenger league qualifier next Saturday (unless they get dropped from dreamhack on day 1). | ||

MLG could not give a caster spot to anyone else even if they wanted to. Blizzard doesn't want that to happen. I never said it was MLG's fault did I? I know full well its blizzards decision, and its a shitty one. Sure if they want everything on a unified channel for the main events thats perfectly fine. But there is no reason why they cant allow some other casters for open qualifiers. Or at least contract out the work. I'm sure some sort of arrangement could be made. I mean we have watched all day, and just when the elite games come on, the cast is ending. edit. Axeltoss and Axslav are saints for casting all day already... not taking away anything from them | ||

Yeah there was esl.pl and stuff, but there were also casters that aren't associated with the ESL at all. different languages doesn't explain it either, there were 2 german casts. | ||
