Are they out or drop into losers Bracker? Is there Double Elimination? Where does the Open Bracket come into it? Extended Series? Can someone shed some light on this for me? Last 8 in Open Winners Bracket advance into Pool Play Last 8 in Open Losers Bracket advance into Championship Losers Bracket Round 1 Pool Play 1st Place = Championship Winners Semifinals (A Winner vs. D Winner & B Winner vs. C Winner) 2nd Place = Championship Losers Bracket Round 6 3rd Place = Championship Losers Bracket Round 5 4th Place = Championship Losers Bracket Round 4 5th Place = Championship Losers Bracket Round 3 6th Place = Championship Losers Bracket Round 2 Extended Series = Yes | ||

Friday's Pool Play matches will be mainly aired on the Red Stream and Premium 1. The Blue Stream will be airing mainly matches from the USA Nationals of the WCS, and Premium 2 will be airing mainly matches from the Open Bracket of the Spring Championship. Please see the full schedules for all streams to see all the information about those streams. Remember: to get all the streams in ad-free HD, and access the two Premium streams, you'll need to use your Spring Season Pass, Gold Membership, or buy a Spring Championship Live Streaming Pass now. Here is the updated schedule for Friday Pool Play: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/YzYzX.png) Wait, that basically means that half of the pool matches on Friday will be played offstream? On top of that, Socke for example plays one streamed game on a premium stream. That means he gets near to no exposure in the beginning of a tournament that is stacked to no end (relatively low chance of big price money), especially in the main target group of his team (Germany/EU). Props to Alternate for sending Socke there and him actually attending. From a financial standpoint, there are not many arguments for doing that. Is MLG covering the travel expenses of the seeded players? | ||

And they can't cast as many pool play games because of the NA WCS. | ||

Here is the updated schedule for Friday Pool Play: The schedule allows for 30 mins for Polt vs Stephano bo3? I would expect it to take longer than that but who knows. | ||

The score keeps going back and forth... I'm a bit afraid for DRG, honestly. MC is so good at defending multiprong attacks | ||

I thought we were done with that, or was its removal a one off? -_- Stephano vs Polt will be awesome as always, there are great matches all over the place here. nope, just a one-of If/when MKP advances #1 in his pool, he should take out the top of pool C as it is quite easily, securing top 3. GOGO MKP~ | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=341534 Personally, I don't think there IS a group of death in either these groups or the GSL groups: all the groups have great players interspersed about as well as you could hope. | ||
