That definitely should be included in the OP.

We can't really fault him for that. It really was planned long before the Blizzcon dates were announced, and even though he played it dangerous by scheduling so close to Blizzcon to accommodate family and fiance, the dates from the last three years would've indicated that he was otherwise safe. It's unfortunate that the dates didn't end up working out for him, but at least we'll still see him in some hopefully fun showmatches.

Oh wow, I'm going to take it from you since you just got married this year. I assumed they were still in the 6-10k range... aye aye aye

I didnt invite family to my wedding. I eloped on a vineyard in Napa Valley so i managed to keep costs under 6k. It was an awesome experience. The funny thing is, when planning stuff with my wife she will always ask if I am casting the day she had in mind or is there a Starcraft tournament. I reply to her, "there's always a Starcraft event going on, dont worry about what your planning will interrupt." And if thats true for me, I imagine its true for Hydra. If his wife planned the wedding and said she would find a day that didn't conflict with his gaming career then that wedding would never happen lol.

Are you freaking kidding me Hydra? Seriously wtf does he give a damn about his fans? I guess not

wtf are you talking about? he obviously cares about his biggest fan of all - his wife-to-be

don't be so self-centered and be happy for a man
if you really are his fan you should be happy

This is Amazing
Popular programer gets married, instead of congratulations he gets 3 pages of critics and nagging from TL because he will miss a tournament, and everyone is entitled to say how he would have done better...

Congrats hydra!

This was the only logical conclusion. But they should still play a tiebreaker between viOlet and Elazer to finish the groups imo. To determine who gets boned by playing Dark/Stats/Nerchio, and who gets boned by playing Solar/TY/ShoWTimE.

Couldn't he, y'know, not schedule his wedding so close to Blizzcon? It's not like Blizzcon isn't always around the same time.

Anyway, all the best to him, both with his wedding and his military service.

I am very sure Hydra will keep his $10k. Hydra's replacement wont get that $10k.

Problem with that is that regardless of where Hydra's replacement finishes, you'll have to knock 10k off his winnings. So if his replacement made it to the round of 8, then he would only get $5k.

Blizzcon dates were announced in April though. Maybe Hydra forgot that the Ro16 was played the week before.

IT IS?!?!?!?!?

Well done Hydra, all the best. There is only 1 wedding (hopefully), while there are many good tournaments. You and your fiance deserve to have this happy day.
