Very sexy tournament.

Someone should check how much the 20 players at Dreamhack intersect with the top 20 of WCS rankings


Intersect:
INnoVation

jjakji
herO

In the group stages there probably won't be much difference between the 1st and the 2nd of a group, it will probably be decided by goalaverage. So I don't understand why in the final bracket the group winner starts ahead by two bo5 compared to the 2nd one. Being 1 bo5 ahead ok but 2 bo5 is too much in my opinion.

I don't like this style of tournament which reminds me of the MLG. You miss many games and you don't really see the tournament winner because usually he wins with just 3 games in the final bracket. Also usually the grand final is a rematch of the winners final.

Go ForGG anyways.

I dislike double elim just because a (non group stage) rematch takes away some of the hype.
However, DH is usually really good about having lots of community streams so you can catch most of the games.
Also, I don't see it say anywhere that upper bracket players start with any advantage.

From 16 players from Blizzcon 11 will be here, only Zest/Polt/Bomber are missing from the big names.
This lineup si so so sick. November will be a good month for SC2. Can`t wait for it.

Actual map pool BO5, damn it I fear for herO(and basically any Protoss player). I know it's winter, but my guess is Teaja :/
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

As long as no group gets stacked with just terran or toss, there's good potential for the tournament. Nice prize-pool too.
1000 at least.
