Rip sindorim techno mart for qualifiers

I enjoy this format (AM/PM groups) than the new GSL format.

Will they be seeding foreign players like last year?

Deliberating whether to attend the qualifiers. Would be nice to LR from the venue but on the other hand I have a couple of final essays due by that weekend.

Decide now to attend and worry no more about it, make it 100% time you won't be able to put towards your essays. Now you have a better idea of how much less time you thought you had to put it off and procrastinate.
Time management!

That map pool though.

Bo1 is generally a terrible idea in a game with as much variance as SC2. Especially now in a new game that's barely starting to get figured out.

I figured single elimination means "Lose one bo3 and you're out" and double elimination means there's a loser bracket. And that sounds okay to me.

Oh. I thought that said Bo1 until Ro8. Nevermind then!

Just because it says only the semi finals and finals are offline does not mean Tastosis won't be casting from an empty studio

Sir, I hate playing the game as it has became so silly and stupid as everything revolves around how the viewer see the game not how the player play the game. I enjoy watching Korean level SC games. All I did is saying "I hope" to see no seeding for foreigners so we can see the highest play level possible.
After all, StarCraft II is meant to be watched not be played. "AND THIS IS MY PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE. FEEL FREE TO DISAGREE".
Thank you.

Even if a foreigner is seeded in, that doesn't have to be detrimental. The game hasn't stabilised enough for Koreans to be infinitely better yet.

True if you are speaking about the fun aspect. But pro players will play no matter what because money on the line. I enjoy the high level they present.
Beside, even if the game is not stabilized yet for them, they still have much higher level, check DH and compare the results.
