You don't like players who are good at the game, or what?

Isn't that obvious? I mean who would even be better than him other than (maybe) Scarlett? Maybe he's silly and even thinks people like Snute, Bunny, Vortix and Major (not counting Welmu because he's just some protoss) are better and have better results in the last 1.5 years or so, which is also kinda bad mannered of Luolis imo.

Ps. I just think it all comes down to Luolis being jealous that Nerchio is top-2 while he himself isn't even on the list.
why even

I do hope we can get this to be a repeated event. Like, top 1 or 2 from this one get seeded into the next tournament, plus invitations and qualifiers like before


I aim to be able to repeat this - obviously a lot of it comes down to how successful this event is however!

Talking of which, can't do a prize pool update today as there have been no more contributions towards the prize pool

If you want to support the tournament, take a look at the Indiegogo campaign

Well, when the 6 next players below him have better results than him in the last year or so, that says a whole lot about how bad this vote is, if we want to get the best foreigners, and not fan favorites.

I'd really like to see Major in this. I think he's definitely better than Nerchio right now. Plus another Terran would be better than another Zerg.
It's spelled LOSE not LOOSE.

Round-robin format seems more interesting, but lack of grand final is quite bad. What if top2 would play a grand final with first player having 1 map advantage?

Yeah. Now Snute is too. I don't want to imagine how pathetic this tournament would be without those two.

Welmu easily deserves to be in more than Major or Nerchio. Now we just need to get finnish scene awaken :D

Option 1: Massive round-robin group with all 6 players

Pros: Everyone plays everyone = no denying who is the best.

Cons: Someone could win before the final game based on scores. A tie would have to be resolved with either map score or head to head (both have critics).

Why top 4 don't advance then? Why top2 advance in Option 2?

Best is to have 6 player group and 4 or 2 advance and they play playoffs. What is problem with that?

I think 6 players is not a pool large enough. It should be extended to 8 or 10 players at least. Especially because of the vote thing. It's a shame because I love the idea of the tournament.

Man why are TLO and Sen not at the top? TLO has been wrecking face lately and Sen just bested a bunch of Koreans.

popularity poll, Twitter fans,

not really the best 6 foreigners will be competing?

why not call the tournament the 6 most popular foreigners then, instead of stating that these are the absolute 6 best foreigners

How bout six in a round robin and the top two get to play in a grand final?

Maybe start the first place guy out 1:0 to the second place guy, so it's really a Bo4 or a Bo6.
