![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/MKzDoZ0.png) The format will be a standard double elimination bracket, including the finals in which the lower bracket winner needs to win two Best of 3s. Liquid`Bunny who qualified from the European qualifier is unable to attend due to health issues and will be replaced by ZooTop, the 4th place finisher from the Chinese qualifier. WEC 2014 runs from September 5th to 7th in Hangzhou, China. More information on Liquipedia: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/World_E-sport_Championships_2014

Edit: Looks like by "grand finals" they actually mean the whole tournament other than the qualifiers so that's not the reason. So I'm confused--why isn't this a Tier 2 WCS event? | ||

Would have been a great opportunity for Snute at least to get some more points. Technically this qualifies for at least a WCS Tier 3 event, but it looks like they missed the WCS event submission deadline, at least that's what I've heard. | ||

Ah, thanks. That's a little sad, would have created a lot more interest in this tournament in the foreign scene if Snute's Blizzcon hopes were riding on this tournament (as they are on every WCS-eligible tournament he's in from now on). Still a great opportunity for Snute, Jim, Jaedong or HerO to bag $25,000 though! | ||

Bunny sent notice of his situation just days ago, impossible to get anyone even Koreans a visa in like 5 days. I'm personally sad there is no Terran. | ||

So very fitting that it's an all Z/P tournament. It's not a balance thing either, it's always been this way, even in WoL when Terran was the top race. I think it's an aesthetics thing, without Terran idols like BoxeR/NaDa/Flash to look up to, why play boring humans when you can be awesome aliens? KeSPA players did not play in the Korean qualifier and no other Terrans advanced from other qualifiers, so yeah, dunno what can they do any better.

Dreamhack Moscow is not really that stacked so far, a lot of the Koreans that are actually going there are kind of slumping, sure it's harder but also no WCS points at this tournament. | ||

I'll ask around see what I can do. EDIT: their staff is looking for him right now, I was told that there is a phone number included in an email sent to him, if he can get a public phone or ask the inquiry staff in the airport they should be able to pick him up, opty or hotbid pm me if you can see this. | ||
