Arthur vs Major in the losers match
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs51.jpg)
The winners match we all expected
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs52.jpg)
But still no one to match Taeja's roll
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs53.jpg)

Surprise! It's Polt!
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs63.jpg)
Haha that look into each other's souls...
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs64.jpg)
Ok that was awkward... look back down now
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs65.jpg)

Yet another surprise... good job to Rotti for sneaking the cake behind Polt
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs68.jpg)
In the meantime we must interview Taeja
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs69.jpg)
That look on Nathanias' face... he knows something that Polt doesn't know
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs70.jpg)
Happy birthday Polt!
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs71.jpg)
Look of surprise and happiness!

So this ended up being my last shot because I had to go... I think this game lasted another 20 more minutes.

Winner's match... sort of looks like a mirror match no?
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs29.jpg)

Toodming was laddering right before the map selection and he really wanted to win his match even though Cam kept calling him to step up to the stage
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs32.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs33.jpg)
What they are playing for... could look better
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs34.jpg)
Polt too OP

Bye bye for group C... tune in tomorrow for group D pics! Taeja! Violet! Major! Arthur!
Group B pics
+ Show Spoiler +
I went for Group A of the Ro16 but didn't bring my camera, but for Group B I came prepared. Let me tell you the folks at ESL have done a really good job with the studio. The seating area for fans is relatively small but from talking with the producers, they hope to expand in the near future.

Made it in time for the beginning of the losers match between Revival and Nestea
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs02.jpg)
Revival being the respectful guy that he is
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs03.jpg)
Nestea didn't seem too bummed about falling out of the Ro16
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs04.jpg)
Winner's match
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs05.jpg)
Wider shot of the studio
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs06.jpg)
This group was great because all the players (esp Hyun/Alicia/Revival) are really close with each other, so here's Hyun and Alicia being a bit playful
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs07.jpg)
Winner's interview - "If 3 base doesn't work, just 2 base all-in"
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs08.jpg)
3 ZvZ's = lots of roaches
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs09.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs10.jpg)
Clutch and ToD
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs11.jpg)
Hyun and Revival are really good friends, so it sucked for Hyun to have to beat Revival (twice) to advance to the Ro8
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs12.jpg)
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs13.jpg)
Revival still distressed over his loss
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs14.jpg)
Still distressed...
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs15.jpg)
I think ToD enjoys the SoCal sun... from my understanding, he'll be back next week to cast as well?
![[image loading]](http://alexsong.net/sc2/wcs2014/wcs16.jpg)
Group shot along with Pigbaby and Heart as well
