Hope we'll see some cool games and our russian and ukrainian friends won't be too drunk before the New Year! :D

P.S. Actually it seems that some credit for this tourney should go to rox.kis guys, especially to (P)RoX.KIS.Bruce cause he is usually the main guy in russian community who makes such things possible ^_^ also GG.Ooshan made the banner actually ^^

I really love what I assume is an intentional racial diversity of the groups, hopefully it doesn't backfire with a 7 terran 1 zerg Ro8.

Edit: I see, only 1 moves on, well, then it doesn't backfire with a 4 terran Ro4.
I always try to shield slam face, just to make sure it doesnt work

Also, you should switch naama and kas to prevent two mouz players in the same group, since you can.

Did the organizers already get confirmation that the Koreans will play? Kind of surprising to me.

Also on which servers will the europe vs korea games be played? Delay between Korea and Europe is huge.

They will be played on the US.
