+ Show Spoiler [Map Selection Rules] +Best of 3 in all rounds. Once the semi-finals round is reached the matches end, and the 4 players then move to stage #2.
A map veto (removal and pick) system is used. The high seeded player (seeds can be found at round 1 on the grid page) decides who starts. Players take it in turn removing maps until only one remains in a best of 1 or until only 3 maps remain in a best of 3. Then each player picks a map. Maps are played in order they are picked. The remaining map is played last.

well it's just starting so you haven't missed it yet !
twitch.tv/azhrak
e: a bit late to play tho

Why this isn't in on calender... -_-
|
I think TL calendar has a rule that there must be a stream dedicated to the event in order for it to be added. ESL didn't have a stream for today's games. Tomorrow there should be the mentioned http://www.gamesocial.tv stream. Still, Day 2 is not in the calendar either.
Last match Fuzer vs Acro just started on stream http://www.twitch.tv/azhrak

We will have it properly on the Calendar tomorrow with an official stream.
Unfortunately our studios are full this weekend with other games, so we will use Gamesocial.tv who have also been producing the WCS Challenger league!

He was mugged in Shanghai. I'm a foreigner, the same as Mr. Bitter. But because I speak Chinese, it would not have happened. He would not have been mugged.
