As a German I am familiar with IEM and the ESL for quite some years now and all I can say is that it has become better and better every year. IEM 7 should be awesome.

I'm going to try and see who the 4 Americas players will be.

1. HuK
2. Sheth
3. QXC
4. This one is tough, I'm guessing either Illusion, Ostojiy, or potentially IdrA, but I doubt it.

STEPPING IT UP !

Nothing to add to this system. Clear, difficult and yet rewarding for those who can come through. Feast did all 3 stages and we all know what happen. Good initiative. Now if only Carmac wouldn't lose hope for SC2, earth could be the happiest place in the universe.

Very nice, looking forward to our players competing in this new IEM season.
Great news about the Open Bracket, I like the fact that it's still restricted in number which really promotes local presence as well as PROs.

IEM Fighting!

the disparity between the Korean spots, and the American spots might be down to the fact that the 4 spots are allotted to two continents (North and South America), while Korea is just one country. Not that I wouldn't have preferred it to be the other way round, but it doesn't matter that much when there's the open bracket :D

Awesome! This *could* be just the right time in August for our local barcraft! Would love to do a proper 'day-long' barcraft for IEM instead of single matches like GSL finals. Are there any details on start and finish times that we could use as a rough guide for planning?

Yeah, imagine N America only getting access to double the number of spots that the other regions get. Engage brain before posting, sweetheart - IEM does stops all around the world throughout its season, the USA stop will feature lots more spots for players from the Americas I am sure.


PS> IEM Sydney!?!?!?!?! *great idea TheSneak*

Well since it'S taking place at gamescom (world's largest trade show for video gaming) they'll have to stick to the opening hours of the venue.

opening hours gamescom

You can add Wednesday from 9 am to 7 pm to that list, since wednesday will be open for press and trade visitors. I guess they'll run the open bracket tourney on wednesday. (all times CEST obviously)

Well, only 2 from Korea. This means american players can have a go at bronze medal!

(That's better than MLG with lotsa americans that get finished off before pool play even starts...)


You forgot there's also europeans, so no bronze for you there.

Looking forward to it anyway, also we will have many more slots soon.

Well you forget about South America apparently.

So 4 spots can be filled easily with high-tier "native" Americans (HuK/Sheth/Fenix/MajOr/dKiLLeR/Illusion).

Remember when dKiLLeR nearly kicked out MC outta one of those IEMs?

Will the prize pool increase as it's only 2 games now? Has Carmac increased the level of production or will it seem a bit bland?

Great format changes, especially the open bracket. Nice to see that ESL are willing to revampt the format to make a better tournament.

Since they have said that CounterStrike will only be played on certain locations where CS is popular, does anyone know if they will do it in Cologne? Seeing as CS is pretty popular in Europe and in Germany
