Race Wars are played in the following way: players are divided into teams [teams = StarCraft races]. Each person will play 4 bo3 series, and after 6 play days (on each we'll have 2 bo3 TvZ, 2 bo3 TvP and 2 bo3 ZvP) we'll have some team standings based on their players' overall W/L balance as well as individual player standings in each team. TOP 3 players from TOP 2 teams will advance to playoff, as well as TOP 2 players from the least successful team. Playoff is Single Elimination, bo5 / bo7 in final.

Well this will be interesting for sure, thanks!

Our Qualifier starts in 20 minutes. Looks like the only stream for now will be from me at http://twitch.tv/cleverpress
Don't be shy to ask questions in English in our Twitch chat even though the stream is in Russian 
Good luck to all Qualifier competitors!

Maybe someone cast this in english aswell...?

21 hour notice about a qualifier is really not that great.
Regardless, good luck to all participating!

It looks like the good old days of Ritmix RSL come back in a new look! Thanks Cybbet for supporting and Alex007 for the organization and streaming! Well done as always!

Miszu, FireCake, Verdi are our Qualifier winners! The are joining the main stage, which starts on Thursday. We'll be back with detailed schedule on soon.
|
This is one of the weirder formats I've ever seen, but I like the originality
|

ByuN vs HyuN
ByuN vs MC
HyuN vs MC
Major vs HyuN
HyuN vs puCK
Major vs puCK
HyuN will play his all 4 series for the Race Wars stage and then will wait for other zergs' results while all other players will still have 2 more series to play later.

What's the main stream for this event?

It's hard to say, as neither of our stream partners can guarantee full coverage of the event. In Russian we'll always have either me (at twitch.tv/cleverpress as well as on Russian stream platforms) or Pomi (goodgame.ru/channel/pomi) so you may consider one of our streams to be the "main" one if that's important for whatever reason.
We're still open for all community casters though.
|
This event has the vibe of Ritmix RSL. It's a good thing!
|
Unfortunately, today ByuN said that he is very sick now and he cannot take part in our tournament so we're replacing him with aLive.
Don't miss our first play day on Thursday, Jan 21 3:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00):
aLive vs HyuN
aLive vs MC
HyuN vs MC
Major vs HyuN
HyuN vs puCK
Major vs puCK
You can (hopefully) find streams at:
BaseTradeTV
Pomi
EmSc Tv
Next play day will be held on Jan 26th and will feature Bomber, Bunny, Serral, Scarlett, MaNa and Verdi.

I've just seen that patience winning over hero was at 3.60 - Whoever bet on that must've made quite a bit of cash
|
Hi, I've sent you a message on TL to cast the tournament in french 
|
Is there going to be VODs or at least a way to check the results?
|
I'll update all results here in the first post.
All VODs in Russian will be up on my YouTube playlist. If BaseTrade shows up today, they will clearly provide you with English language VODs.
|
Just tuned in, why are they playing on Bridgehead?

Not for now. Most probably it will be on the final day of the event (together with 3rd place match and final) and we'll try to feature there players which didn't get TOP 4 but still played really well.

I don't agree about widow mines. They're not that good vs disruptors. Imo the best way to beat disruptors is having impeccable mechanics.

Muta/ling/bane on Newkirk Precinct, you tell me
I really don't like this cheese she did in game 2. That kind of thing just isn't going to fool a Korean terran

They played a game on Newkirk and aLive didn't feel like splitting vs banes & making widow mines is worth his time.

aLive that wasn't good micro on that medivac
|
don't matter lol, korean'd
|
Meh, disappointing. Don't like the builds she chose in games 2 and 3 at all. Also some bad control from both of them but that might have been due to ping or something

He's playing cross server and thus channeling the power of Cure. 360 No Micro

is it one or the other? That map is a little terran favored so it's hard either way. im still not sure that proxy hatch thing is very good but you'd know better than I. I guess I am ragging on you for going 2-1 vs a proleague terran and that's a little unfair but it's only because I think you're totally capable of beating him

i kind of thought game 3 build opened you up too much to the liberator/drops, hence why it's not great even if you do damage. Again, obviously you know better than I do though

Kas vs. Serral - both are out but the match decides between Bunny and Super to advance ... strange situation

The "group" stage of our event is over and 8 players are advancing - stadnings on Liquipedia are absolutely correct so better look there for complete bracket.

Race Wars
Players placed in teams based on their race.
Each player plays 4 Bo3 series.
Team standings based off individual players' records.
Top 3 players from Top 2 teams qualifies for playoffs.
Top 2 players from 3rd place team qualifies for playoffs.
Serral finished 4th on team zerg. Super finished 3rd on team protoss. Just the way the tournament rules work

To clafiry a bit: current start time on TL events calendar and Liquipedia is wrong: we're starting today 1 hour earlier, 15 CET (not 16 as usual) so it's less than 4 hours left till the show begins.
Edit. Now everything is correct, thanks a lot!

Dunno. But if Keen replaced leenock this will almost certainly be a TVT finals.

Wait, you think Bomber is more likely to beat Super than aLive is to beat Leenock? I'm not so sure about that.

I would have died if aLive didn't notice that 1 marine killing his natural orbital.
Leenock did a great job holding on from so far behind.
