EPTSo i get someone to root for besides Jaedong.
I have to say that the races in the finals are almost perfectly balanced. Just two or three Z away from perfect balance.
Even though it is 50% Terran.

Anyway I'ill probably give it an eye, but Naniwa's presence would help to increase my hype. | ||

I don't think there is a doubt that both of them are in better form than Naniwa, not that they were ever in worse form than Naniwa. Dear winning KR and not making it to the Grand Finals would be outrageous. I don't like NaNiwa very much either, he's a complete fucking hypocrite and complains when anyone but him makes excuses for losing even though he makes excuses all the time + Show Spoiler + and he's bm as fuck But that's just what I want to happen. :D Also this was left out of the OP: Ties within the Top 16 seeded players Ties within the top 16 WCS players will be decided by cumulative points earned only in World Championship Series America, Europe, Korea, and Season Finals events. If a tie remains, it will be settled through points earned only in WCS Tier 1 events. If the players in question are still tied, seeding will be decided by coin-toss. Ties for qualification to the Global Finals If there is a tie across the Global Finals cutoff, the players in question will travel to BlizzCon to play an offline, best-of-five match to decide who will be seeded into the WCS Global Finals bracket. | ||

Yeah, in fact you're right, it's probably better from a spectator view in terms of tension. The only point who annoys me is the fact that half of the players will travel a lot to play only one match. | ||

I'm starting to come around to single-elim, they've had the entire season to improve their standings, so if you come 16th and get knocked out instantly well that's just too bad. I mean it's not like Wimbledon is double-elim right? That's only 1 match to lose and you're out. | ||

Inno/revival- MMA/SoS- Bomber/Alive- Soulkey/MVP- __________________ Taeja/Maru- Duckdeok/Polt- Hero/MC- Jaedong/Naniwa- This wasn't just pointless, any form of hype is needed  , you do the math on what it might be, Just see who's in globals and find out what combos will be messed with. On another note, Revival, Duckdeok and alive are the possible evil villians of this tourney. sry for no spoiler, I'm new. | ||

I know but then I wouldn't have that awesome 4-4-4-4 symmetry Honestly I admit it's kind of a stretch putting Bomber in the first category at all; his biggest GSL accomplishment in 2011 was winning Code A. He probably belongs more in the last group than anything. | ||

T.T Doesn't Revival only get 25 points for Challenger? If that happens he'll be equal with nani on points and players equal across the threshold will all go to Blizzcon and play a Bo5 to determine who goes into the main comp. | ||
