I think we're missing some info. A WCS global finals semi-finalist wouldn't just forfeit (in protest) without a good reason.

Edit:
Scarlett's post (Above) explains things well.

Maru was showing some 2016 form against Dear. His maruauder target fire and pull backs were so well optimised
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

nah its not cool. i practiced 2-3 days only vs zerg and some protoss literally no game vs terran cause i tho was not gonna be needed. instead i wake up 30mins before qualfier to see i gotta play someone different. so im not playing this qualifier im so sad i changed my flight from leipzeig just so i could play. whats the point of preparation if all can be trowned out the window without atleast a message of prior notice.

its insanely disrespectfull


Players were informed directly by esl and brackets were up at least 12 hours before start. Its Specials fault if he only checked liquipedia instead of offical site and email.

Really? 12 hours is about as much warning as anyone can expect for a replacement.

I am somewhat less sympathetic towards Major than before.

Email never said bracket changed it just linked it again

Also they seeded new invites (gumiho probe) as bottom seed in whole tournament, changing soo vs ty (1 and 2 seed) into 8 and 1 seed so they play eachother first round etc


I see. Seems like there's some communications issues between tournament organizers and players. ESL jumping on the bandwagon with Dreamhack and Blizzard now.

Did anybody ever think the bracket play is kind of like League of Legends? I mean, you have top, bottom, and mid, with some snipers (see Gumiho v. TY) and random junk like bracket position changes happening in realtime.

Seeding in GuMiho was kinda weird too. I'd have expected MaSa (as the next non-European non-Korean by 2017 WCS points), since Probe was seeded in for that reason.

I know mails were sent to players (would you be an exception?) , Scarlett's post appears to confirm that and brackets were really up early on official site. Liquipedia site had wrong brackets.

As much as I like Stats and Elazer, both of them will probably play in the open bracket if they don't qualify. It's a shame to see spots go to them. Feels like a waste

edit: Wow. I've finally seen this build win a game.

4 games of allins, can we make it 5?

9 am flight for Elazer (currently 3:40 AM for him), the pressure is really on for him to win.

He saw the nydus as soon as it was placed down but doesn't wall around it. And then leaves his ramp open.....

edit: Stats better lose to soO or Dear in the lower bracket
