pretty sure there will be a lot of upsets here hehe

personally i am hoping 2-3 players drop out and they offer MKP a spot (he's 10 points away) :p far-fetched, but possible!

To those who want to see MKP, keep in mind that possible replacements are determined through the Season Ranking. YoDa was the first replacement in line. MKP is a little further down the list.

Since they will play the awesome balanced Hots...i guess there will be almost no Zerg who makes it out of his group. And...i forsee a Protoss to win it all. I would like to see Grubby getting his first Victory *yeah...eat an almighty Toss All-In Stephano*, but i guess it will be MC or Parting.

I think the public beta is shutting down. They will probably still give the pros access on a special server since it wouldn't make sense to have pro players not being able to practice for 10 days..

i don't like groups of six, too much randomness will come into play when scores will even out. Groups of 4 sound much better.

Everything but a Protoss as the winner would be a surprise, I'd agree there. The balance just doesn't seem to be incredibly good right now, considering the latest results in HotS...
Dunno if it's a good idea to hold a HotS tournament so soon :-?

Korean racial distribution is 4P - 3Z - 3T... and thats what will actually matter for the playoffs. maybe +stephano



You can count Lucifron.... hes Code S level




VortiX too

In what way is he even Code A level?
Stephano is in the U&D and you think Lucifron is Code S?

Anyways exciting event, looking forward to watching meta develop in HoTS.
Will this tournament have a Fruitdealer winning?



LucifroN has definitely proved he is better than Stephano lately
