The can is opened and only HerO and perhaps Pigbaby (because Pigbaby) are allowed to advance from todays matches since the other combatants are not championship winning material.

It's fine for what it is, with a luckier draw Xeno could perhaps have got into Premier

Don't actual Koreans deal with playing early in order to play WCS AM? It's one of the things you have to put up with if you're in Korea playing WCS AM, and I'm not sure why Scarlett can't be made to play early by them. Instead it screws up the broadcast in the middle of it.
Obviously not Rotterdam's decision, but some really questionable decision making by whoever made that one. Good on them for not making Minigun forfeit, but dumb to mess up the broadcast by not moving other things around. SC2 isn't an "on-call" job. You're given a schedule and you plan your day around that. I highly doubt Scarlett has some pressing conflict at 7:50 AM. You're given a schedule, but sometimes schedules change and people have to adapt. Europeans may have stayed up to watch potentially if there were games going on, but I suspect a large number of them will call it quits. Not as pressing, but even for North Americans having a big hour-long gap in the middle of the broadcast is going to cause lots of people to tune out. At least, I got the impression from what Rotterdam said that the problem was that they didn't want to make Scarlett play too early. Maybe Hendralisk was out or something in which case he would've had to have time to get home and that's a different matter.
e: apparently it's been moved up though and won't be a full hour after the previous games, so my complaint is less relevant now.

EDIT: I'm a huge Scarlett fan-boy, but good luck all the same. Go get 'em.

Alright it's been ENTIRELY too long since Scarlett played in WCS, time to see how Korea made her into even more of a baller!

I believe this was the closest rated challenger match of all according to the aligulac predictions

And he's favoured by Aligulac too so he just has to put his skates on the ice and he'll be fine

Alterzim vetoed not a surprise, I don't think I've seen more than 3 pro ZvZ's ever on that map.
