Flash got a ton of foreigners and zergs in his quarter of the bracket. How lucky/convenient for him...


I'm not sure if you're joking or not ._.


If you mean about the implication that it was rigged, yeah I'm joking, that's stupid, they wouldn't rig that.

It's mainly just annoying because Flash will probably just get straight through to the quarter/semifinals off of it, and people will go on and on and on about how he's the greatest thing ever, when he beat such terrors like... Bly and Ret. While elsewhere in the bracket we have clusters like (Life vs. ?) vs. (Polt vs. Creator) and (MKP vs. Jjakji) vs. (Seed vs. Rain)...

At least we have Flash vs. PartinG potentially!


Yeah, I figured you were joking. It's really amusing each time someone honestly believes the brackets are rigged, though ^^

Every single Dreamhack... -.-

Anyone else think Blizzard is kinda ruining this MLG by closing the beta? Most of the Koreans are gonna have like 1 day to practice HotS before this. There's really no technical reason to be closing the beta this early, they should just close it on March 11th.
Didn't Flash say in his Code A interview that he hasn't even touched HotS yet?

Foreigners pretty much all going out before second round unless crazy strats/all-ins arise (see GSL 2010 S1).


I would agree with that list completely if it was WoL. I think right now as HotS is Zerg is struggling way too much for those results to hold up. I think a Terran wins it, maybe Flash?

Life vs Leenock in Grand Finals of MLG once again :D Seriously, I think with the tournament being HotS there is room for huge upsets, like the level of Life going home at the first round or so.

I'm sure there are reasons, technical or otherwise, they wouldn't just go "LOL WE CLOSE BETA NAO xDD" for no reason but to annoy pros and casuals alike.

Yes, Flash said two days ago he hadn't played a single game and would prefer not to attend at all if it was up to him.

You just have to see it as a fun exhibition tournament and not a serious competitition, that's how I got over the IEM switch to HotS, it's the same with some players only having a week or two of HotS practice because they committed to WoL vs others who weren't ambitious in WoL anymore and got a huge headstart.

It'll be incredibly lopsided in terms of preparation but most if not all Koreans should still be able to overcome that deficit through sheer skill.

At least once you get to top 8, the matches should be quite good no matter who plays in them.

As purely a sc2 spectator, I'm really rooting for IdrA! But this is such a strong bracket...
Can't wait!

I mean, this is something Blizzard does every time before release...this should have easily been foreseen by MLG, but at the same time, because of this, there will be some really great matches. Everyone will be trying to figure out what works well and how to counter this or that. It is going to be brilliant!

I feel bad for idra though =( hope he does well! Glad to see herO of CJ Entus outside of Korea!

I don't see any explanation anywhere for the following:

How were the brackets decided?

I agree, some round 1 matches seem crazy stacked. Was this just random?

Polt to take it. I truly think he's the best Hots terran at the moment and elephants didn't practice hots so i don't see them doing really well.

Flash to stomp face and win....



Oh wait, its HoTS, anyone can take it. I expect big things from Mvp though, he's been able to just focus on hots while he heals his wrists. Mvp is always a great player and many think Terran is the strongest race in Hots right now. Go Mvp!!
