That was a worthy try, pretty bad luck for xeno getting hero in challenger you're in challenger to challenge the best though! if he can't beat hero then surely he's not good enough to win premier anyway Not necessarily, I was under the impression WCS is there for semi-stable income for consistently decent players who aren't yet championship calibre to be able to play full time until they are? i was under the impression that tournaments are there so you can compete and advance by playing better than other competitors, but i'm not going to open up this can of worms here 
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

It seems pretty dumb that they're waiting 45 minutes to 1 hour, rather than moving up one of the other matches. 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.

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

I'm a big Scar fan and I'd say this is 50/50. ZvZ is so volatile and you looked great in ATC, and she hasn't been doing great lately. Still, I hope she 3-0's you!

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

Really? I thought Scarlett would have an edge.

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