So KingKong, Snute & Harstem have said they'll be playing in this. Anyone else?

From what I know Nice from Taiwan will play, dunno anyone else yet.
|
Harstem got his visa and should be going... I haven't heard anything decisive from Snute yet, but I hope he's going too. He talked about going through the visa process, but also said he was sick after IEM.
Also - It would be cool if KingKong qualified and got to play the tournament after all :D
EDIT:
Just saw Snute's last tweet, so I guess he's going!

It's the Gold Series, which has generally had less english coverage than other tournaments.
EDIT: Well, it's the open bracket, so not exactly the wild cards. And IEMs always had English coverage of their dual tournaments.
|
the brackets were drawn live with random seeds apparently. Snute vs breakinggg and harstem vs kingkong in qualifying round. Little update to u guys Please no shoe questions.

Did they already announce all the Koreans for the showmatch for 12000 USD on the last day? I remember just PartinG and Stork - do we know, who are the others?

I am really happy to see them there, even when ByuL is not in a good form. I hope, they will wait for who loses in Proleague on Tuesday and manage to get someone from KT / Jin Air depending on who loses their match, so somebody really good. TY+Zest / Maru+sOs would be the dream.

it is somehow expected when Xiaose make the random draws. He is infamous of creating group of death. If you play dota, you might remember the IG/LGD/CDEC group in NESO last year. This time we have Jim, Macsed, Cyan and Toodming in the same group.

Are they drawing bracket now? MajOr/Snute in same group aha
I missed most of them Scarlett/XiGua/Elazer/Nerchio in group C Snute/Major/MLorD/puCK in group D
|
OMG group C has 4 Zergs ... who would be interested to watch that???? Sad for Nerchio, Elazer and Scarlett ... Groups A and D very balanced, looking forward to seeing them. Group B Has hype, he could manage to progress to the Quarterfinals!
|
I can see Sioras getting out of his group :D gogo Mongolia power
|
|
LOL that group B
group C should be the most even IMHO, Scarlett has historically pretty tight ZvZ and Elazer and Nerchio are very good in the matchup, poor XiGua though
|
i was awake at 6am.. no stream.. wtf?!!? and why did Liquipedia change the starting date from 19th to 21th yesterday?
|
I'm curious does anyone know how they decided the groups? I see 2 of the open bracket qualifiers in the same group so was it just random draw?
|
