WTL organizer SCboy just announced an event called the "Cao Shuai Cup" on tomorrow, the evening of October 5th in Beijing time.
The event got its name because it was hastily decided yesterday(which is also the meaning of "Cao Shuai" in Chinese).
The Cao Shuai Cup is a 5v5 team competition, and the organizers hastily selected 5 top players from Korean and 5 from the global region.
These two teams will compete for a $10,000 prize, and the winner takes it all!!!
[Format]
The tournament follows a best-of-4 KOF format, where two teams take turns selecting players to compete. Each round consists of four matches, and a player is eliminated from the competition if he lose 3 matches. In the event of a 2-2 tie, both players are eliminated.
[Player List]
Korea: Maru Dark herO Cure Solar
World: Oliveira Serral Reynor Clem Maxpax
[Date]
20:00 5th Oct. Beijing Time(UTC/GMT +8 )

Yep, the improvised idea came out from the owner of DKZgaming as well as the sponsor of this tourney just 2 days ago(on this Chinese national holiday).

Sounds super cool, but given how short notice it is, have the players confirmed their participation?

Yes, they all confirmed according to the organizer.

Nice to have a surprise event!
Is the overall format bo7, and individual matches are bo4?

Cool! Where can this be watched?

Wow, such an intriguing match! I wonder if there will be the ability to resurrect a player. And what happens if it's 2-2 in the final match? Ace match? So, a similar format to WTL except that the matches are bo4 rather than bo2?

Let's goooo now!The game will begin with a 4v4 BigGameHunter match, used to determine which team to reveal their player first.
(By the way, Reynor withdrew from the event due to personal reasons, been replaced by Astrea)

...what?
Solar beat Astrea regardless of the server location and in the other 2 bo5s the player with server advantage went 2-3 (Serral vs Cure) and 0-5 (Serral vs Solar).
This tournament couldn't have been less decided by position of server so far.

Are you saying out of the 3 maps Solar won none of them were on NA west server?

Astrea losing all three maps on equal ping to Solar is the worse concern. Makes you wonder why Reynor wasn't able to participate.

0-5 (Serral vs Solar). 0-5? Liquipedia shows it as 2-3.

I think he meant each time the player had the server advantage (it’s still shit though, like 80 to 100+ ping iirc, but the other guy has like 150-200?), that player lost, be it Serral or Solar.
Which means that Serral won on Solar server and vice versa
I have no idea if that information is true though.
From personal experience, NA east is playable from Europe, NA central is kinda bad and NA west is horrendous
