Maps: Best of Five (Toss Toss Pick Pick)
Toss Toss Pick Pick
Starting with the lower seed (Silver), each player will "toss" out a map from the map pool. That map is no longer allowed to be picked for play for that match. This alternates between players until 3 maps remain. The higher seed (Huk) picks one of the 3 maps as the first map of the match. The lower seed (Silver) picks one of the 2 remaining maps as the second map of the match. The 1 remaining map is then used as the tie breaker map if a third map has to be played for the match.

The guy followed that win by a 2-1 win over Qxc wich is a really strong opponent too so your argument isnt valid.
Those games will be really good and looking forward to it, like always, good job with the tournament !

Can I request you put the date up instead of 'tonight'? 'Tonight' doesn't really help when we have time zones ranging from PST to KST...
Like your image says Aug 1st, your post says Aug 2nd (but in Korean time). I can't even figure out if this is already over or not.

Idra clearly macroed better, had a higher food count and better resource management. What failed was his unit composition. He probably shouldn't have gone muta ling against thor and hellions. Even so, it was funny how fast his army got demolished. Silver made the right unit and won, so good on him.
