Speaking of which: does anyone know why he wasn't invited?
Looking forward to this tournament... the last one was an absolute banger with super intense nail biters.
|
My guess is that Maru was invited but not accepted it, focus on practicing for GSL.
|
Congrats to the first two qualified players from Qualifier #1:
Astrea and Creator!
|
|
|
MaNa looking pretty good in the second qualifier.
|
A huge contingent of Protoss have joined our invited players!
|
 MaNa qualified! Looking forward to see you playing in the Main tournament Polska górą!
|
Did MaxPax say why he declined the invite?

Didnt not expect that from Group D
Reynor dropping out, hopefully its a bump in the road, want him to have a great gsl-run
|
Already some cool games in the group stage. Serral vs. Classic game 4 was a masterclass in ultra lategame ZvP. The painstaking level of patience with which Serral plays this out is mind-boggling. He kills protoss pylon by pylon, tempest by tempest, one at a time.
Mana advancing is also somewhat of an upset. The upper bracket finals are mostly as expected, though: Serral, Clem, and herO. But Dark being the fourth upper bracket finalist and doing so much better than Reynor is somewhat suprising, although I couldn't really tell what to expect of either of them in any particular tournament at the moment.

Bunny playing against the meta is always a breath of fresh air, even though it was at the expense of reynor

Really hope this isn't Dark's actual final tournament, but if it is, it's good to see him put in some solid showings until the very end.

It warms my heart to see Dark darking it up 
|
Thank you for the content!
|
Good tournament again. Congrats to the winner
|
Congrats to Clement. Very hard fought semis and finals! :O
|
Some really cool games throughout, thanks Pig!
|
Thanks for watching guys, super happy we had lots of banger series again! Already raised $1000 towards PiGfest 7 so looking forward to setting that up after EWC!

Great tourney. Love having so many long series
|
Was only able to watch the games now... great tournament, as alaways, PiG!
Thanks for the organization and keeping the pro scene engaged.
It is so much fun to see Serral and Clem go at it and push each other ever further. The new 3 infestor den-rush will be meta for EWC!
And props to Dark for leaving to the Military with a bang, without losing motivation.
