Apparently they ran the LB from a round too early and three of the contenders for the last qualifying spots were knocked out by players that should have been out already. | ||

This was for some reason changed while the qualifier was already going on (which is the hallmark of all great tournaments really). Elazer lost in the Ro32 so he would not originally have had a chance to play in the loser bracket. | ||

Meaning you get a second 'life' starting from Ro16 and onward. But for some reason they changed the European one to start from Ro32. So if you had been defeated in Ro32 in America you would have been eliminated from the tournament. While for some reason in Europe people who got beat in the round of 32 went to the lower bracket instead and got another chance. That gave people who made it too Ro16 and then got eliminated by someone from the Ro32 a bit salty because according to the tournament rules those people should not have had been in a lower bracket. | ||

But that didn t even affect the endresult. Harstem qualified in the end from the lower breaket in EU. Still changing Rules mid tournament is dumb and shouldn t happen | ||

No veritable damage was done but had Elazer qualified it would have essentially locked in the Top7 from EU. | ||

I realy like this for MaxPax, he had super tough groups in both his DH EU so far, lets hope he can do something with that Having to start against Rogue is rough but I agree it's doable for him. It could have been way worse. Otherwise which group you would consider the group of death ? Given the rankings I would say either group B or C, but this doesn't mean everything | ||

Well Max allways had to Play vs the no1 Seed of his group anyways. And if I had to choose between Reynor, Serral, Maru and Rogue for a online Bo3, I would take Rogue 10 out of 10 Times. Yes he can be realy. But he is the most volatile. PartinG isn t in the best shape and MaxPax took Maps of him in the past allready. Special is by far the weakest invited player and MaxPax has even taken Bo3 of of him before. Don t get me wrong, the Protoss hope is still the underdog, but there is a chance. | ||

MaxPax has been better vs Zerg than vs Terran lately. Also he generally struggles more against Micro heavy players. I don t see Rogue as one of those guys, who just has the best micro and wins with it, where MaxPax kind of struggles against. Rogue is more the player who figures out a completly brocken built and just stomps you with that. MaxPax is good when the game gets chaotic, so Rogue will fit him better than Maru I belive. Still even if he just rolls over and dies vs Rogue, he still has a realistic shot vs Parting and Special  Also Max said it himselfe, that this is probably the best possible group for him  | ||

Are you sure about the micro heavy thing being a thing on this match? Edit> since when do player know anything about their groups? There are some players who are picking their opponents in the GSL with them big words and then lose to them | ||
