It may be beneficial for them to hold back BOs/styles for later, more important matches. Not sure if it will actually play out this way, but I am interested to see what ends up happening. Well, that's part of a tournament dynamic. If a player is confident enough to beat anyone and everyone anyway, he might not care about his group results. Then again, that holds true for any non-elimination group play. I suppose you could have the last-placed player eliminated from the groups to increase the stakes - but that would raise other issues (such as having Open Bracket players go farther in the final bracket than invitees/qualified after only having to beat (supposedly) weaker players). I'm fine with the way it's played out right now. + Show Spoiler + To provide some historical reference: of course always playing your best is an unspoken rule of competition, but I as a German can never honestly argue against strategical moves like this since withholding our true strength in the group stage to beat Hungary in the finals is what won us the Football World Cup '54. :lol :lol | ||

Why do people think Ryung will beat MC? 4-0 overall record for MC and he beat him in a recent meeting too. Ryung is just mediocre in vP, and if MC can't beat him even sadder for protoss. MC also 3-0ed select and beat taeja who are better TvP players. | ||

And only two eu players qualified from the qualifiers. Harrahs is our partner and sponsor in this! Also we actually have someone on the team who worked for CGS and we are going to be sure not to repeat their mistakes as much as we can avoid it! | ||
