Looks like a fun tournament. Will be sure to tune in. Will be fun to see if Madfrog can prove his critics wrong (see the thread for the tlo show-match).

There are lots of hostels close to the event location. Better book fast

I live quite close too - in case of an emergency anyone feel free to PM me for a cosy place under the kitchen table - I might not be home though so dont bank on it

Am I the only one who finds it funny that both of the Americans in this are practically Korean?

Looking at the IEM structures figure, was there actually an Asian Group for this? I don't recall any coverage for it at all.

Groupplay will be Best-of-Three, mappool will be the Battle.net-1on1-mappool (all nine maps). Maps will be determined by veto as it has always been in ESL pro tournaments.
