for any of you who didn't know, i had a severe allergic reaction to my SHIRT on friday. Apparently, the starch used to make it look crisp and professional caused my body to break out in hives. So, I spent all of friday night awake and scratchy scratchin. Your voice always heals when you sleep so.... no break for voice = goodbye sexy baritone.
i'm doing reasonably ok this morning. I just gotta not shout at wheat during the intro show :D Hehe, gl with casting. Now I understand why starch is said to be friendly to the skin. I always wondered why you would apply it to your skin... And of course you could always cast without a shirt

Seems like the format is structured where two players who met in Pool play before are very likely to meet. A, B, C, D refers to the specific group the players were from in Pool play.

Would like to see them change it up such that there is a very unlikely chance of players rematching each other in the championship bracket until they've "ran the gauntlet" so to speak. Something like this:

Hope you get what I mean... it would have prevented the Liquid guys from all being in the same bracket.
ya this has been posted before general consesus is that mlg columbus wants to show off their extended series rule which is kind of annoying Yeap, really doesn't make that much sense. You get to be the champion by showing that you're better than everyone else (people from other groups), not by beating the same player twice (and with the help of the extended series at that). It does, however, encourage players to play good every game. Like for example IdrA was still pissed when he lost to TZ, even though he already had 1st place secured. It lets you play good or get punished later.

Can't wait for the games, especially two matches from upper bracket look really promising. I hope Idra goes all the way and wins the whole thing !

Sorry, thanks to the wonders of Australian internet I don't have the downloads to watch today so I won't be adding my 10 pages of love for the blue stream, random lolz and fawning over July. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU same here! hooray for MLG speedily releasing replays so I can actually watch the games!

The seeding system is actually pretty good, it means that the finals are generally a playoff between two of the very best at the tournament. Where as in GSL where there's minimal seeding and single elimination you get total mismatch finals between Inca/Nestea, Rain/MC, Fruitdealer/Rainbow etc..
The only downside is the Gretorp scenario but that's a small price to pay.

Idra is fairly unlikely to play Thorzain again to be fair.

Yup, he has to go through MC again down 0-2. x-x Considering he barely just made it through him in the TSL. That's a very steep order.

Do the matches begin in 10 minutes or 2 hours and 10 minutes?

And beat Incontrol/Select and Machine. Then if he does that and beats MC with the 2-0 deficit Idra needs to have lost to MMA or Thorzain then needs to beat MMA and Losira/Naniwa.
It's just really, really unlikely.
