Because they want to get rid of the French players without causing drama.

Don't let them get away with this dastard conspiracy against the French! Allons enfants de la Patrie! Allez le Bleus! ...and so on. Do something.

The only one that sticks out because it is strange is the Snute vs PsiOniC one, I don't think that he can do it.

Personnaly I don't care about drama and shit, and so I think Mana vs PtitDrogo will be the most interesting match of day 3 - although I think I read somewhere PtitDrogo didn't like PvT to much (or did I dream this?)

Probably a dream since they don't play eachother.

And Mana would have to play Terran too

So after all these qualifiers, this is now single elimination who reaches the actual tournament and the loser gets nothing in return in regards to next WCS Season outside of 50 (?) WCS points?

They also get $2000!!!


Still, it seems a little bit silly that one match decides who gets into the Tournament where they have 2 lives in the group stage and who gets out.
I am consistently underwhelmed with the formats in SC2 Tournaments, I wish some would just do floating triple elimination and rely on a robust seeding of the players. But then there would need to be a good (official) rating system, and that might be hard, since the regions are kind of disjunct with the regionlock and all.
Not to mention that I think group play is awful. But I will still watch, since the matches will be good. I am surprised we don't see pro players complaining about the formats, though.
I guess they value knowing their possible opponents sooner more than a more fair tournament format.

I think this is a better format, I prefer having matches where there is a lot on the line for every match. $2000 and the notoriety gained is more than enough of a reward for getting through the qualifier, IMO.

If you think about it, in most major sports the playoffs are huge high-stakes games after they've been fighting for a really long time to get there. In American football it's even Bo1. This creates a more hype atmosphere for every playoff match since you work the entire season for that one moment. WCS has three seasons a year so I see nothing wrong with it really.


I agree that the money coming in from viewership and the money being spent on production is a factor for the business conducting the tournaments. I think with that in mind it makes more sense that the tournament has such a format.

Looking at the Tata Steel and the Linares (two very prominent Chess Tournaments), they are both Round-Robin.

So: Good Business decision, but not the best for finding out the top player.

Sure, but that's why you have several seasons leading up to a world championship. Each individual season isn't supposed to necessarily be won by the best player, that's what keeps the game exciting and interesting.

One question, has schedule changed or there is mistake by TL site?

OP wrote that first match is Happy vs Majestic followed by Beasty vs Welmu but on TL calender there's otherwise.
