Apparently SC2 is divided into 2 days after all Edit: oh wait. It's not. It's just played through 2 days for Europe. My bad | ||

That is because of the veto system that is used at global finals (same as for all the circuit events): The higher seeded player must choose to act as Player A or Player B. For all Best-of-5 games matches, Player A must choose one map to play first and then Player B must choose one map to play second. Next, player A must veto one map, followed by Player B vetoing one map. The vetoed maps will not be played in the match. Then player B picks one map to play third, and Player A picks one map to play fourth. The game 5 map will be the map that hasn’t been vetoed or chosen for games 1-4. | ||

Best of 5 make it not that bad, but yes obviously if you go with pick first instead of ban, then the most broken map in each match up will be played every time. I guess at least it make preparation a bit easier cause you can make at least one map specific build. | ||

I updated the OP with a power ranking and some group stage predictions, in order to be proven wrong when I wake up next morning :D, and in case you are in a decent timezone and can't wait for BlizzCon to start already  . | ||

"(Z)Serral 3 - 1 (P)Stats ... The Serral - Stats battle becomes even easier for Serral as Stats hasn't enough tricks up his sleeve to prevent Serral from playing his comfortable macro game. (T)Maru and (P)Stats advance." That should read Maru and Serral advance, right? | ||

So far the predictions were almost perfect but soO ended up beating SpeCial, who would have won in bo3. | ||

(Just watched Group A. The outcome I expected but not the one I hoped for.) Thank you for providing us with high-quality content, Poopi. | ||
