Since Scarlett will be back in Canada for this we will be alternating between European and American servers on a map by map basis to ensure fairness.
Ah, k. Yes, this is probably the best solution under non-ideal conditions. Which map pick gets which server, though? o.O But since Scarlett is in Eastern Canada (well, Ontario/Toronto considers themselves "Central" Canada, but they're EST), the lag to EU is probably the best you can hope for from NA. NA server is probably in West Coast, though... hmmmmmm.
Can someone edit the OP to use the proper date formatting for timezones so I don't have to break my brain trying to work out when this is actually on please?.
Anyone who says this decidese the best foreign needs to realize something. Its Scarlet's worst matchup vs Naniwas best. Recent results clearly show who the better player is.
I don't like this at all. I think the prize distribution is pretty bad cuz its only 2 players. If ppl complain about the fact that u can't make money for living out of sc2 then this is why. Very good players that earn a lot get even more money like that. Thats very sad. Less known/ successful ppl have very low chance to get to that money. The match is great, no doubt. But the prize is not distrubuted fairly and too high for a "2 player tournament". I don't like this.

This way, we are guaranteed good games, it will be completely fair since both players off-race and no one will be able to make excuses.
naniwa's terran is amazingly bad, he lost 3-0 vs sjow in a reverse race series 2 months ago. had no idea a top gm could be that bad with off-race, it was like he had zero mechanics. he also got really mad about losing vs sjow.
