How they managed to schedule the first and second group right ontop of GSL ST and WTL is realy amazing
Do they not care at all about viewership?

It's a problem NEXT tournaments have been having since forever as they don't announce anything till it's starting and by that time no tournaments will make room for them.

Actually, I am okay if they just playing replay videos. They can just let the streamers broadcasting the contents very soon as long as they are not overlapped with other important tournaments schedule.

The tournament has as many EPT points and more prize money than King of Battles, but it is criminally under hyped / watched, at least for the group stages. It's probably mostly due to the scheduling mess so they don't have everyone casting it yet (because of WTL), but that's kind of a shame :|.

Kinda weird to see two Clem 'live' matches were broadcasted at the same hour under the same organizer.

Also GSL ST
And even if there wasn t any other tournament around, the seeding both for the qualifiers and now the groupstage was horrible as well, resulting in some of the best Players missing

Scheduling for the qualifiers was pretty bad as well iirc

So yeah, thats many reasons for way less HYPE and rightfully so

So Rogue lost to Lambo and Special, and was therefore knocked out - upset much?

Catching a game at home two hours after dismantling Dark at GSL studio did not help either. Also, Rogue might not preparing much perhaps due to his win streak record against Special before.

Is this the first time a foreigner may has real shot to win the tournament? Maru and Trap did not qualify while both Rogue and Solar who had decent achievements in the tournament before bombed out early in the group brackets.

List of NetEase champions before:

1. Solar
2. TY
3. Rogue
4. Trap 2x

On the foreigner side, we have Clem, Serral and Reynor (unless he survives the Group D bracket which is still possible because Cure and Zest are not in their great shape lately). So, this is an opportunity for Clem to shine.

Cure and Dark might be the hope of KR side this time around. But I am not sure how Cure can play in this tournament along with ST3 tomorrow. Unless he can win today match and tomorrow winner match through replay, the entire group would have to play early as well.

Considering the inconsistent form Cure is in atm I'm not sure.

Wow, Zest killed Dark with some weird openers with Archons triumphed at the last moment.

Cure just wasted time being defensive. Too late to attack Reynor bases.

Clem is facing Dark again. Also, another bracket luck for Serral. There is no one can beat him until he reaches the final.

3 recent tournaments that Serral got the break from the bracket. DH Fall he got Bunny, Time and HM, KoB he got Elazer and HM knocking off Clem, now he got all Protosses and Ragnarok. Maybe if Zest can be at peak condition, then it would be interesting, but I dont see that happening.

As it turns out Zest wasn't slumping; he was just being Zest

Zest slumping drama over, Reynor slumping new favorite drama:

I mean what's up with ever since AOE4 came out he's losing to everyone? I would'nt be surprised if he announced a switch very soon.

/s just in case

Reynor is still qualified and top 4 / top 8 in every tournament but this one where he failed to win over Zest and Dark which can happen to anyone (even Maru) so actually not that dramatic (yet)

But I think for story-telling purposes we should absolutely over exaggerate :D
