Day 1 + Show Spoiler [The PGL Format] +PGL has an unusual, but innovative, format. The 16 players are in 4 randomized groups, and to eliminate the possibility of a "group of death" eliminating a good player early, the groups will play each other in a clanwars-style match before the intra-group matches. For example, if group A defeats group B, and then defeats the winner of group C vs group D, two of its players will go to the Ro8 and two of its players will go to "extra matches" and still have a chance to make it to the Ro8. Which two would advance to the Ro8? That would of course be decided in intra-group matches. However, if group A loses twice instead of winning, two of its players will go to "extra matches" and two will be eliminated from the PGL. For a complete overview of the format, please go to this thread + Show Spoiler [The Clanwars Format] +In the battle between the groups, each group will send out a player. After this first match, the winner plays another member of the opposing team, and, if he keeps winning, another and another until all players on the opposing team have been eliminated.

+ Show Spoiler +Wow, this thread took a lot of time to make. I even made the banner. As far as I know, the games start at 17:00 KST. But I am absolutely not sure of that and would love for someone to find an official source of some kind. Right now my only source is GosuGamers.

Interesting how the groups' racial balance turned out. None of them has all of the races represented and all but one have 3 of the same race..
|
This system sounds cool. Thanks for explaining it, I was trying to figure it out from the other thread and I hadn't a clue...

Kinda odd Harmony is played twice in AvsB while ChupungRyeong is not used? Typo?

Awesome, Nony vs Strelok and White-Ra vs a Korean T :D
Edit: ah my bad, I guess they're just lineups as opposed to matches.
