AFAIK the format hasn't been announced yet, I'm guessing it will be group stage into playoffs but who knows.Something like a single elim bracket the whole way or double elim could alter the results a lot. It's hard to see Serral losing a non ZvZ, and even in ZvZ Serral looks half a step ahead of everyone else. SC2 is volatile though, and Dark or Reynor could easily knock Serral out. I'm curious to see how well Cure does at Gamers8. I don't think he lived up to the hype at ESL Summer despite looking amazing in the leadup, though to be fair he was a victim of Gumigod's rampage. | ||

Rare you see a proper single elim gauntlet these days, I wonder if they might go with something like that, or a straight double elim to differentiate the tournament? There’s pluses and minuses to both. Groups into single or even double elim generally keep the top dogs from getting sniped and generally deliver the big big matchups in the latter stages. But ‘one mistake and you’re out’ does aid itself to upsets and make the early stages more exciting A lot of things I’m curious about with it really, will it be considered IEM/Blizzcon levels of prestige or WESG (at least for the Western audience)? | ||
