Hello! Happy to announce the result of the GSL style group selection undertaken by Dark and our qualified players! The selection process (displayed above) was via a snake draft starting with Dark as the top seed (champion of the first edition). Dark then had a swap option at the end which he used, replacing HeRoMaRinE's choice herO with RagnaroK who was ShoWTimE's choice! Dark was not allowed to pick from first round drafts (HeRoMaRinE to ShoWTimE) to reduce veto IMBA. Main Event starts on Friday so be sure to tune in!

Group A is pretty sad for HM with 3 KR Zergs, group B has 3 World Champions in it, group C is a bit wild with Lambo picking MaxPax, and group D would be pretty full of PvT.
|
Such a sick tournament, will be great to watch.
|
Surprised Oliveira picked Reynor over Byun/Clem (if I'm reading the draft order right).

Hope this tweak makes it into ASL. (Also, groups look good).

It's a great improvement. But to be honest the winner shouldn't get to swap at all. These groups are sick but it was even better pre-swap, which is of course because the point of the swap is to let one player make his group as weak as possible. The winners perk should be ... he won the last event! (Invitation is fine too).

Honestly looks like one of the most stacked tournaments. Looking forward to seeing how our EU vs KR rivalry pans out this time.

HM got punked by Dark early in both games.

Is there a way to rewind video on AfreecaTV site? I missed first two series.

Great games by Heromarine!

If heromarine had just focus fired the fifth in the first game vs Ragnarok would have been in a winning position - that hatch cannot have had more than 100hp

Are you using the app? I was having problems until I downloaded the app

Another day another tournament where almost every non Zerg get's fucking clapped by Zerg every game.
I know Serral is the GOAT but Jesus Christ Zerg looks strong.
|
Serral vs Classic game 1 amazing
|
It was good until Classic decided to go lategame Skytoss, and get picked apart by Serral. He almost won the game with the Archon Blink Stalker Disruptor timing.
