Just to give everyone an idea of how stacked these groups are:
Group A combined: $276,000 prize money
Group B combined: $578,000 prize money
Group C combined: $308,000 prize money
Group D combined: $380,000 prize money
Alltogether: $1,542,000 between these 20 players. Interestingly (or not), the order of prize money is the same way I'd order the toughness of these groups with B>D>C>A
I wonder what % of total sc2 prize money since release that is, that's a crazy stat.
More than 50%. http://www.mystarcraft.de/de/edb/ranking/prizes
I very much doubt Stephano beats Jikaji. Jikaji is pretty damn good.
Jjaki is pretty damn good, he just doesn't seem to perform at the moment and Stephano is owning everybody in Europe. Considering the groups are played online and that Stephano will probably have the better latency I think he has really good chances. |

12 Koreans, 8 foreigners? Really?
I knew Koreans outplayed foreigners, didn't know they outnumber them as well.
Thanks for volunteering as a tournament I don't need to follow. The amount of tournaments last year really brought me to a level of oversaturation. |

Not sure EU players have better latency on NA than KR players :/

Goody beat Nestea. Case closed. :D
But seriously, it depends a lot. West coast should be similar in latency for EU and KR, but East coast should be better for EU.Last edit: 2012-02-20 19:47:41 |

I'm struggling to see the point of your post. |

| Marinking has the easiest group, hehe. But looks like goup C is harder than B, you can't really say Idra is top tier player anymore. Last edit: 2012-02-20 19:57:51 |

How is that?
Symbol's pretty unknown, IdrA has been underperforming for quite a while. The only real contenders I see are MC, Mvp and Thorzain. Thorzain could probably pull off a win against MC (even though MC's PvT is pretty good), I don't think he can pull a TvT win against Mvp.
Looking at the level of play and past achievements, MC and Mvp stand high above the rest of the group.
Imho group D looks far more interesting.
With Leenock, NesTea and Alive you have a fairly well-balanced and really strong Korean group along with 2 foreigners that usually do well in the underdog position. |

I disagree, the longer you build the hype the better your event will do. People will be looking forward to this. Plus the broadcasts of the group stages does not start in may, may is the offline finals. |

Well, I don't know if you realize how huge this tournament is and that it is a necessity to have it so spread up until may.
First, the tournament starts in 9 days and not in 4 months.
There are 44 BO3 in the stage groups and RO8 to be played and streamed by not only american, but also french and maybe german casters. Because of all the great players there are, it is a chance for us to be able to watch these games one at a time and not just play them all randomly and see how it goes.
And I think it is ok to just play the finals and semi in lan. As kaoru said, it is gonna be a long show and the scene is available only for a day. Then, let's not forget and be realistic, probably only koreans will get to the finals and if I were one of them I'd be disapointed to travel over to France and not have a guaranteed prize money even if the trip is paid also. |
