How does this format work? OK Four groups of four. Only the Group winners advance but what about 2nd placed in the Groups? Are they out or drop into losers Bracker? Is there Double Elimination? Where does the Open Bracket come into it? Extended Series? Can someone shed some light on this for me? Last 8 in Open Winners Bracket advance into Pool Play Last 8 in Open Losers Bracket advance into Championship Losers Bracket Round 1 Pool Play1st Place = Championship Winners Semifinals (A Winner vs. D Winner & B Winner vs. C Winner) 2nd Place = Championship Losers Bracket Round 6 3rd Place = Championship Losers Bracket Round 5 4th Place = Championship Losers Bracket Round 4 5th Place = Championship Losers Bracket Round 3 6th Place = Championship Losers Bracket Round 2 Extended Series = Yes
OK thanks, John. I understand how it works now! Should be a really exciting Tournament!
Great players plus great casters = awesome event!

I was honestly a little upset to hear that MKP wouldn't be at Spring Arena 2. Haven't seen him at a tourney either since up & downs and I gotta say I'm having withdrawal symptoms... Glad to see he's been seeded for this event :D
|
I see Thorzain... But no Sase.. no Nani? 
|
/sigh premium streams once again... might be no chance to watch grubby play as MLG will probably use him as a draw to get people to buy passes to see it.. we'll get screwed out of good games just like winter championship or some stuff like that will probably happen again. sad really .

This is pool play. Neither placed high enough to get seeded into pool play during the arenas. I don't think NaNi even competed.

Group A is the group of death because all the others you can kinda pick who will advance. Not this group!

Tough group though :/

You think so? IMO His group is the toughest after Socke.
His chances is looking grim with people like MKP,Symbol and MVPdream.

From looking at these groups I'm predicting a real tough tournament for toss. Could easily see not a single one getting out of the groups. Just SO many top Zergs here, jesus. Only Nestea is really missing from the top tier.

Why exactly does Pool D have more votes than Pool C?
Seems to me like Stephano/Polt/Alicia/GanZi group will be WAY MORE tougher than MC/DRG/Heart/Socke.

The group D is going to be simply murderous with that group of players. DRG still my pick for the best Zerg in the world, MC with his win in RedBullBattlegrounds(wasn't that great, but Parting and Squirtle were there, the other 2 of the top 3 Tosses) on top of the Protoss scene, Heart played some great series last winter and is still a really nice player, and Socke who will probably get smashed, but has some nice potential. I'll be more impressed with Stephano when he actually wins something with so many Koreans in it. He has failed to do so as of yet.

I feel like MKP got a very manageable pool. Good luck to him!

I think he was referring to an event that has as many Koreans as the GSL. I mean yeah, IPL 3 had a lot of Koreans but not like 75 - 80% Koreans. And if you look at all the other tournaments Stephano has won, the majority were not Koreans.
