I wouldn't say Harstem doesn't have a shoot there. He beats Uthermal quite often, and I guess with Uthermal there in Harstems place there is no 3 players you can say will advance for sure (apart for Maru, and may be Nerchio has an edge). So its either Uthermals TvP isn't that strong, or Harstems PvT is quite strong. With 3 Terrans there Harstem has a fair chance. Maru advances probably Nerchio as well, but I don't know if its Marinlord or Harstem. Beasty can surprise us, but I don't think he will advance (although Demuslim advanced instead of Snute in the qualifier, so who knows). Harstem is good, I just do not think he has a chance in this configuration. Marinlord plays different PvT and I would say T has a balance advantage right now. Especially if new map pool will be in progress and David Kim does not pull his things together. | ||

According to their updated schedule, there are supposed to be 15 games in each group to be played over two days. Can anybody figure out the format for that?? knock out stage will start from quarter finals so top 2 from each group will progress. | ||

Drager will play with the 4 players below him (not with Stephano, they "already played" - meaning their match is already counted on the Stephano's one) (4) Namshar will play with the 3 players below him (not with Stephano and Drager, they "already played") (3) DeMusliM will play with the 2 players below him (not with players above him) (2) XY will play with Erik (the only player he hasn't "already played") (1) ...in total they are 15 games...  | ||

Hi, On their website, playoff stage is like this, I suppose each group has 3 spots for playoff. http://www.wesg.com/grandfinal/schedule?game=sc&day=3 | ||

 EDIT: moreover, groups stage matches will be played 3 by 3 at the same time... I hope at least 2 of them will be streamed or it would really be a pity... | ||

Although the original Hearthstone prize pool is exactly what it shows for SC2 on the site and the other way around. Maybe whoever is in charge of the site messed up and accidentally switched the numbers? | ||
