At least they should say if the brackets will be round, square or curly

As an expert on brackets, I'll say that proper brackets are square. Curly ones are braces, angled ones are chevrons, and round ones are a Sigur Rós album parentheses.

Seeing your linguistic prowess, do you know why the distribution of players in the tourney is called a "bracket" in the first place? It always puzzled me.

Do other games have tournaments like HSC? I think it is the most important for the feeling of being a community, and not just a bunch of dudes playing games against each other.


Yes Melee has had http://wiki.teamliquid.net/smash/Smash_Summit_2

Why is it called a bracket and why do people on a rock drifting through space play Starcraft? Well its simple, the persons in the brackets that are rectangular are chosen to protect Earth people. In case of an invasion from space from Protoss or Zergs we will know their tactics and adopt appropriate counter measures. In fact we may propose to them to play Starcraft to resolve conflicts instead of relying on standard warfare.
