I hope community streams having free pick of games means they can cast games that are also casted on the main stream. This is going to be a nightmare if you try to follow a player through the round otherwise :D

Just to make it official, here are all the casters:

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Bitterdam? Oh. My. God! Hyped.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Great format! And I think a better one as well. The previous format of 2 group stages is hard for the players eliminated in the first group stage. This way, they get to play matches until the knockout stages. More exposure of the players is better for the fans as well.

Bigger groups eliminate bracket luck and bad seeding better which is nice. Round robin however might leave someone out due to map score only, or we get some nasty tiebreakers. Matches in round robin are not simply bo3 but rather ±1-2 points. Double elmination playoffs however are super cool if they do really have the time for it. Also hyped for bitterdam.

How long is the tournament in total? In the events calendar it's only Thursday-Friday, but I'm guessing it's gonna be longer than that?

You can expect all the announced players to come to the tournament unless something terrible happens, I think.
