Upper Bracket Quarterfinals are Bo3 Remaining Upper and Lower Bracket matches are Bo5 Qualifying Matches are Bo7 | ||

Edit: If it was done by points it would mostly hold up, just trigger and Elazer would need to swap. | ||

Certainly wouldn’t have been my first choice in how to use that kinda fund I think the competitive SC2 scene is awesome. The players are great. The games are wild. The maps are brilliantly crafted. The coverage of the events is great. There is just not much money in it. I think the Intercounty Baseball League is better than Major League Baseball. Intercounty baseball players make 30K and have other jobs. MLB players are all on steroids and HGH and make hundreds of millions of dollars. They are all well on their way to looking like Andre The Giant, Joe Rogan, and Barry Bonds due to all the HGH they've been taking for many years. money ain't everything man. you do make a good point that the money is not well spent. if the Saudi's took the money and spread it around to every person that holds weekly and monthly events that'd be ideal. Wardi would be a rich man... and he'd have earned every dime. | ||

Feels more hype/excited knowing the importance of this game / series. | ||

Any number of things, I’m a giant multi-sport freak and I’ve seen it enough | ||

Though ping probably impacts Toss micro a bit more than Zerg. Still overall server switching gives most of the western EU countries the advantage. Ironically it's only Serral out of the top EU pros who is actually on pretty equal ping terms with KR in online events. | ||

Might be true buyt you could really see how different showtimes control looked from game to game in the fights. | ||
