(Wiki)Liquipedia on the format:


+ Show Spoiler +
The Group Selection or Steal Draft is a somewhat long and complicated process, not helped at all by the large number of players that now qualify for each MSL season. Here’s how it works:

The first eight seeds are placed into groups A through H, with the first seed in Group A and the eighth seed in Group H. The first sixteen seeds may never be moved by any player, they remain in the groups in which they are seeded. Seeds nine through sixteen are determined by previous MSL appearances and performance, with more obviously being better. Seeds nine through sixteen are placed into the other pair in groups A through H, but in reverse order. Seeds eight and nine would be in the same group, then seven and ten, six and eleven and so on up until the first and sixteenth.

Once players are placed into the groups, the remaining players are also ranked based upon previous MSL appearance and performances. Starting with the seventeenth, and ending with the thirty-second, each player takes his own name and places it in an open spot next to the player he wishes to play against.

After everyone has been placed upon the board, the stealing begins. It starts in ascending order at the sixteenth seed and moves all the way up to the first. Seed three through sixteen are allowed three options: (1) Exchange himself with another player, (2) Exchange his current opponent with another player, or (3) Pass the turn and exchange no one.

Seed 2 is able to pick two moves on the same turn from the following: (1) Exchange a player in their group with another player, (2) Exchange any two other players with each other, or (3) Pass the turn and exchange no one. Seed one earns an extra decision. He is able to switch any player with another player and may do so up to three times or until they wish to pass, but cannot use all 3 decisions in the same turn. At the latest, the #1player must choose after the #3player , if he wants to use all three turns.

I'm hoping someone records the whole thing. Thanks to moktira, I could watch The OSL ceremony again, even though I couldn't understand a word. It was still awesome.

EDIT: apparently there is a SC2 Zerg named MisO. The replacements in the TLPD-izer might never end.

Craton's stream is down already. I'm searching for a PLU stream, but sadly my IE 9beta is very uncooperative back, thanks again Craton :D

EDIT: I've now got a working PLU stream, so if Craton goes down and I'm awake, I can try to LR. I have 0 restreaming capabilities though.

Leta will be doing a ceremony too, according to DES.

Edit:
Supposedly Midas, Shine and Roro will be doing a ceremony together involving a lion mask.

Update according to DES:
Backstage at the MBC studio it's very busy, several players fiddling with their hairstyles. It seems a number of players will be going all out to get the prizes.

The lion suit that Wemade players are going to wear:
