Kinda strange seeing the "so far," with it starting tomorrow. (NOT bashing the OP! Just, maybe they made some really secret announcements about the rest of the invites?)

Wondering the same thing. I've been a regular on their twitter for the last few days.
I'm also wondering why I'm not at Take's bar. It's just a 5-6 hour drive after all. Every HomeStoryCup I promise myself "the next one I'll definitely visit in person"

I believe the full roster has been completed, but hide from the public viewer for the suprise factor. People who are involved (caster and players) probably know about this, including the groups, before hand already. Will see if thats true coming tomorrow.

Yeah i know shit, sorry lol, also see Wax tournament hightligt: I think the rest of the players are a secret... maybe? Will update the OP when more players are announced.
Could someone post it on Reddit/starcraft, so the word gets out?

Shit these are some nice groups.
Reynor is not safe in group A. Tough group for herO too... and I'd want Showtime to advance too, maybe Rogue bombs out. :p
|
Uff this is some highclass players. The only top 10 players missing (and probably declined) are Maru, Cure, Dark, Parting
Do we know who will stay at Take's yet?
EDIT: We do. It's in the other thread: Reynor, Kelazhur, Lambo, Elazer, PtitDrogo, and HeroMarine have been confirmed via TakeTV Twitter to be present live

Mainstream covering: A , C, E..
Wardi covers: B, D ,F
G and H are only added If there is time. They might be covered by Language streams if we see there wont be time.
A and B will be done one by one.
The other groups adjusted to fit the schedule. Either 2-1-1-1 or even 2-2-1
|
Would've thought Mainstream wants A, C and F, but makes sense to show all the groups with the top European contenders too. Although F has Showtime who is the best European Protoss.

"Please note that the below listed times are Broadcast times. All groups are played at the same time."
So that means the latter groups will be casted from replay?
Korea playing at a decent hour, that's awesome

I would take any patch at this point, any patch that would make pvz at least a little bit interesting to watch

For sure, I think balance wise it's in one of the best places it's been in years but it's still so boring. Midgame can be interesting but late game is almost always awful.
