Posting yet-to-be-aired match spoilers (from a day in advance) is a bannable offense. - Jibba 0:11 KST |

Any notable players? Players you think will win the whole thing? I don't think many of us know the Chinese scene too well.

Very surprised by LoveTT knocked out in ro16 and the low number of P in the championship bracket. Looking forward to the live finals!

LoveCD is pretty good and consistant. Top 2 China Protoss probably. He is sky's little brother (top HU war3 player, used to be number 1 during 2005-2008).
Xigua just won the WCG China so he is pretty sick as well.
Obviously, Uhen who just bet Xigua and LoveTT (1st or 2nd best Protoss from China) must be a top player as well.
And to finish Loner, ex semi-pro War3 player, playing since early Beta, used to be quite good and even competed in the Blizzcon/GSL where he did decent, though he always semt to lack that little something which makes an excellent player, a dominant one. But as he won his group 3-0, things might have changed.
About the others, I'm not sure, but Starcraft 2 is still a very young game so there's definitely some chances that they might be excellent and even better than these 4.

Xigua to me is the favorite, because he has been dominant lately winning both G-league (2 months ago) and WCG China 2011, 2 latest Chinese tournaments, plus Zerg current state is excellent.

Well you beat me to it lol! Just something to add that Lovecd in the StarsWar tournament beat (in order) to get 2nd place: IM.NesTea, Liquid`TLO, mTw.Dimaga and WE.GIGA.Lovett!!!

Ok it's $18,000 just got final confirmation.
|
Well in a most frustrating moment we JUST got informed we will need to PAY $30,000-$40,000 to cover this event or we can't cover it, despite talking to Blizz all day, they just informed us.
Very disappointed and I hope this works out before the cast starts, I have reached out to Blizz NA.

Well that sucks immensely, i hope you can get it sorted!

Ugh......
I don't get this, pay $30-$40k to cover an $18k event? This is all so weird.

If Blizzard cant get a stream for their own tournament they should just greet outsiders who want to spread it with open arms. Once again Blizzards e-sports department makes a silly move.
You even switched name for it to work out...

I heard from PLU and Neotv, which are both casting this event in Chinese, they said there will be an English stream that make 2 Chinese stream + 1 English stream, is that you guys?

There's apparently a Blizz stream they decided to put together last minute. So I don't know I THOUGHT we were, and I even talked to Blizz NA all day and they had no issues with it. This is the weirdest thing I've ran into yet.....

After a quick trip to the Blizzard website, an attempt to find the "English Stream" led to a chinese website, which I couldn't read obviously, other than this message: "Sorry, PPLive web plug-in (98KB) does not support Firefox, Opera and other browsers, please use IE to watch, thank you ^ _ ^". Which completely eliminates me and and anyone who doesn't use windows or ie from the audience.
