Map Selection Rules: + Show Spoiler +Best of 1 in all rounds until the Round of 64 players is reached. At round of 64 and higher is a Best of 3. Once Round of 4 (top 2 winners and top 2 losers) is reached the matches end, and the 4 players then move to Stage 2.
In a Best of 1, Best of 3 and Best of 5 a map veto (removal and pick) system is used. The high seeded player(seeds can be found at round 1 on the grid page) decides who starts. Players take it in turn removing maps until only one remains in a best of 1 or until only 3 maps remain in a best of 3. Then each player picks a map. Maps are played in order they are picked. The remaining map is played last.

why is there no thread for European qualifier even though it's supposed to be played this week end too?
|
I will ask about the european thread and get them to post it ASAP.
|
For some reason it's not letting me sign up because I don't have a game account... But my account is registered and I used it without problems in the IEM NY qualifier.
|
Can you link me to your ESL profile and I can take a look at it and see whats up
|
|
|
Checked that you had a game account and placed you into the tournament manually. U should be all set now.
|
|
|
Placed you in.
Also Stage 2 is now scheduled for October 23rd at 6:00 pm EST
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why is so many people having trouble signing up o.O
|
I'm in, so the solution works. Might want to talk to your software guy about the multiple issues.
|
I see hendralisk signed up, but isn't he going to WCG (same date of main event)
|
|
|
I have found and fixed the issue with sign ups. Everything should be good to go now.
|
Meet in channel IEM on SC2 when tournament begins.
|
Who are the 12 invited players for stage 2 ?
EDIT : And no stream ?
|

20 players in stage 1 =/
I guess the Redbull Qualifier at the same time doesn't really help
|
Invited players will be announced really soon. Tomorrow morning.
|
i dunno where vods of this are going up but axslav and phog just played an absolutely sick game
a lot of why it was back and forth had to do with some bad army management by axslav, but it was insanely fun to watch

really sad to see invited players receiving Default Loss...
thepharside: Player update: Goswser and Minigun have had to forfeit the tournament. Goswser is traveling and Minigun went to sleep
lol, so so bad :/

also, it would be better to say stuff like that here instead of in the middle of twitch chat. I don't think twitch is the place to give "official information"
|
Well it was expected for Goswser as IEM Singapore are on the same dates as DH Winter for which he's already qualified.

State qxc are playing each other in this Qualifier, and after that, they will have to play each other again in the Redbull qualifier 
|
All these qualifiers. Huk vs Suppy again. This is much more fun than the korean infested feasts.

Cool all in. Great work Scarlett!
|
gg Scarlett. 10pool FTW
would like to see State take that last spot...
|
France7248 Posts
it seems State will first play vs Scarlett in the Redbull qualifier before playing puCK in IEM
|
Man I really want HuK to win so I can see him at IEM 
|
WE will be resuming IEM Coverage after State vs Scarlett in Redbull qualifiers.
|
|
|
Who are the top 2 from the qualifier? Huk and Suppy?

what's taking so long?
State had to play his match vs Scarlett in the Rebull qualifier. He lost 2-1 and his match for IEM qualifier vs puCK just started
|
puCK playing this quite smart. Faster phoenix range and transition into better units.
|
You can really see who is truly the top of NA from all these qualifiers (IEM, Homestory Cup, and Redbull).
Anyways, gogo State! I think he had a pretty solid showing at IEM NYC, and I think he can do even better at Singapore!
|
beautiful play by puCK there. abusing the weakness of the rather strong stargate tech route there.
//edit: sick, now we get to see who is THE best NA toss at the moment
|
These are some of the most entertaining casters I've ever listened to

Yeah, I feel they have to deal with way too much shit for how damn passionate and actually good they are.
GO AXSLAV/AXELTOSS! (And HuK/puCK for good games )
|
hm, too bad HuK forgot thermal lance. Still I feel puCK played better overall and takes the deserved lead 1:0 in the Bo5.
|
Pretty sick lead HuK now has over puCK in the second game, should be it - and LOL there is the manner nexus by HuK
|

haha puCK wanted HuK to wait for 400 minerals to build a manner nexus too

HuK "bming" by destroying the nexus before he could mine that amount :D
|
hm did not quite listen there for a minute, what happened? why couldn't they show the game? Apparently HuK is up 2:1 now.
//edit: oh T_T the computer crashed... too bad.
|
lol wtf 4hp MsC... HuK cutting it close there.
Also:
#Passion#patmyselfontheback for keeping this LR thread alive on my own!
And HuK wins the IEM qualifier as well - SICK performance by him.
Grats HuK!
2nd player to join him is Scarlett at IEM Singapore!

Americas qualifiers are made for Canadians to travel to whatever /s?
|
USA should region lock Canada out of all these Americas qualifiers -_-
|
|
|
I just made the mistake of trying to catch some vods of this...I usually cut production some slack, but this is fucking stupid, games missing, whole series not even uploaded, games out of order, games mislabeled, no playlists etc. This is some bushleague bullshit, seriously, shape up.
