Based on the pictures I'd definitely favour ToD over Valdes in a fist fight.
|
Just wanted to say that Starladder is one of the best tournament organizer I've been working with.

Too bad I can't attend  missing 2012 with a couple of LANs in Kyiv, WCG, good old memories

Definitely second this, working on WESG has been amazing.

I remember seeing Stephano win the Africa and Middle East portion. How'd he manage to pull that off? Does he have like dual citizenship somewhere? Easiest $12,000 he ever made probably I don't think he even lost a map from the qualifier to the main event.

I haven't heard from Strelok in ages. I honestly forgot about him in the last years.
And I love how Kev's picture just looks like he has no clue why ToD and Valdes are raising their fists while they look like they enjoy beating up Kev

Damn, NaNiwa forfeited and I was woundering why was he playing LoL on stream.

that's disappointing. I was interested to see how Naniwa would hold up in this
|
Whenever Naniwa seems like he's gonna come back he doesn't. SC2 needs a villain
|
Stephano is such a scary opponent, he is not second to any Zerg players in the world. You know what i mean as long as you watched the match against Nerchio a couple of weeks ago.

He's not the villain we deserve but the villain we need

The round robin may lead to some insignificant matches in the end. Does anyone know if the players would still have to play it?
