Hm I'm curious how Stephano will perform in the tournament. He has a lot of potential and I'd love him to show how good he actually is. Should be a lot of interesting games. hf everyone!

Oh i am so cheering for Goody this evening

The strongest players in this tournament are in my opinion Stephano, Hasu and ofc. Goody.

Amazing lineup. Looking forward for the cup.
As a GoOdy fan hoping he´s advancing to the final and perhaps once again against lalush. Will be very entertaining.
But with all the good player and Mana on fire lately I think Mana or Stephano will advance from the bottom side of bracket to the final.
Can´t wait for it just a bit over one hour!

The tournament grid is now published on the GIGABYTE Cup website. There might be some changes or defwins in case players are not showing up in time.

For example (Z)

Nerchio was already replace by (T)

Satiini. Also (P)

HasuObs probably won't attend due to holidays. (T)

DeMusliM is a potential successor for his slot but might be also unavailable due to his journey back from MLG Raleigh.

Long story short: Here are the Round1 matches starting at 16:00 GMT (+00:00) tonight! The complete grid can be found here.

Tonight's stream are listed above, at http://www.gigabyte-cup.com or here on TeamLiquid in the EventCalendar - GG HF everyone!

He is on vacation. Same as HasuObs. Also elfi didn't show up although I talked to him yesterday. So we had two defwins in round 1 for Delphi and Stephano.
