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.

I thought there will be a special south america qualifier 
only 2 spots left for Korea, Taiwan, China & SEA :|
|
Brazil is getting a special qualifiers for open bracket slots only I have been told. It is not ran by me but instead by our brazil partner.
|
No Argentina in that special qualifier by any chance?

when you sign up, it says "Please wait for an admin to add you to the list of participants."
Is this normal?
and also I think there's a typo on the Sign up and Information section in the original post
Isn't the Check-in time supposed to be December 15th 4:30 PM EST not December 14th 4:30 PM EST??

Yes it is normal because I have to verify you meet the requirements before registering. As far as checkin date goes yes it was a typo mistake and I have corrected it thanks. Checkin is indeed December 15th at 4:30 pm EST

To all players planning on playing today be sure to meet in channel IEM on starcraft 2!

I never heard of that. The only thing I know, is that he changed his ID from "Todeskampf" to sWs. Do you maybe confuse him with Siphonn? He would be another US-Protoss, who regularely played IEM qualifiers and made it far in them and he also starts with an s.

LOL Desrow, in reaction to seeing that a Terrain that just all-inned, and destroyed most of his macro, was only on one base.
It's like when you're trying to pick up a chick at the bar, and you know it's not gonna happen, and then she drinks too much, and it happens.
And then in response to the chat
I was talking about picking up a chick, not putting her in a trunk and kidnapping her.

Haha, somehow the bracket ended up (almost completely) sorted by nationality! ^^

nice to see several latin americans on this, kind of unlucky for cham tough
I'm thinking Huk willl win his brackett, and idk, Polt/Major the upper side of it

voted MajOr vs Cham, seemed like a good match and TvZ is cool

Can't we just take someone out and let Scarlett play? She could probably win this playing on her cell phone anyway. Just doesn't feel complete right now.

why werent players like Catz, minigun and Nony invited looking at this list these 3 are better then more than half of the list and can take games easily off the rest

I wish I could have seen Major's scan timing and Polt's POV. I feel like Polt wanted to surprise BC, but got scanned and then just went mass marauders assuming Major would do the smart thing and mass vikings.
|
Fiddler's Green42661 Posts
And now that Major's seen his mass marauders, he has to make his vikings good and make BCs.
|
Wow Major went full foreigner this game.

This feels like it will go into 1 death push for Major. He should prepare for a base trade.

Now that's the nexus-sniping Polt that I expected to see.

Polt is more American than Huk. One guy waved the American flag, the other guy didn't.

I think Huk is quite happy to be mostly Canadian anyways

what a waste of Terran of having Major instead of Polt, Major wont stand a chance. Polt will be sorely missed.
|
I'm hoping Polt brings a new opener into next year. His strength is playing the scrappy late game, but he's entering the midgame at a deficit with more and more frequency...

Polt can still qualify if he beats HuK. If Polt deserved to qualify over MajOr then he should have played better

Oh I agree, Polt would do much better, major won't go far. I just think it's kind of not fair to say major is a "waste" when he earned his spot.

Polt was losing, but then he remembered he was a tactical Genius.

Over-extension after over-extension by Huk there. That game was much closer than it should have been.

A lot of terrans do in TvP. Protoss has a ridiculous strong and diverse early game at the moment.

Every other build order Terran can use can instantly lose to a lot of different build orders. There are no other solid TvP openers beyond reaper.

I love that IEM is back with SC2 to SP but why they schedulled the stage2 qualifier to start at 8PM (11PM BRT)? it is more than 5 am in Brazil and there is still one game between polt and huk to be played...

Too aggressive. He overextended time after time in that series, and his overextend in the major engagement cost him several stalkers and 2-3 immortals, which snowballed into a insurmountable lead for Polt

Well done Polt! Not the cleanest games, but that'll do!

Weird how the best games seem to be coming out of qualifiers this year. First, the ladder matches for Shoutcraft and then today's qualifiers . . .
And where was DeMuslim during this qualifier? Hopefully he didn't trip over a pencil and break his neck or something. . .

Major is used to playing in big lans including MLG and Blizzcon, he has given us a lot of awesome games.. He just recently beat scarlett when she was streaming (not that it means anything big.. just saying). He is used to training with Koreans.. I seriously doubt Major will be a pushover.
You cant possibly predict how he or Polt will perform on IEM just because of the qualifiers.. Both qualified and both will be representing America. Besides I dont think many American terrans can 3-1 polt, so dont underrate Major so quickly

Great matches. Sad for HuK and desRow.

You cant possibly predict how he or Polt will perform on IEM just because of the qualifiers.. Both qualified and both will be representing America. Besides I dont think many American terrans can 3-1 polt, so dont underrate Major so quickly If Major performs well in any serious competition in the game of Starcraft I will eat my pants and my hat.
Polt still qualified so I don't know what you're so butt-hurt about. I'd rather see Major play anyways, I see better Terrans playing than Polt all the time so I might as well get a NA player to cheer for.
Also Major has beaten Ryung and TaeJa in TvT series before, so him beating Polt isn't out of this world.

what a waste of Terran of having Major instead of Polt, Major wont stand a chance. Polt will be sorely missed. If Polt deserved to be there more he should have won. huh, I think you missed the point of what I said? what did you mean then? Major wont make any impact on IEM, he wont stand a chance, Polt could have given us better games and in general raised the quality of that tournament. I did not mention anything about who deserves what. Major is used to playing in big lans including MLG and Blizzcon, he has given us a lot of awesome games.. He just recently beat scarlett when she was streaming (not that it means anything big.. just saying). He is used to training with Koreans.. I seriously doubt Major will be a pushover.

Yeah, thats whay I was trying to explain to him. I mean why get mad or w/e when clearly the better player on that particular day qualified? is not like Major is a noname who appeared out of nowhere.
