I'h happy with winner takes all still, 1200/300 is fine too.

[Xaston]

How can my team lose?

[Xaston]

Ugh so many ways, if you think about it.

Walchy's brother submitted a team to me via skype as well. Since i'm not sure what his 2+2 name is i'll just list him as sean walch for now but he's paid for and confirmed too

16 teams at the moment, we'll go with 1300/300 I guess?

You have until I submit the team list (which will be in the next few mins) to submit a team after that entry is locked out

[SwoopAE]

Some interesting trivia - after 13 teams had been submitted, I was the only player with Marineking. Not anymore, evidently. The last two players to be picked were Happy and Thorzain and they were picked first by the same person. The two before that were Oz and Supernova, and they were also picked first by the same person

Final prizepool is $1600; $1300 for first and $300 for second. Chops are only allowed if all remaining players with a mathematical chance of winning agree to the chop. Funds are held in escrow by me and will be paid as soon as first and second place winners are known.

We have Ghostking vs Hero and Seed vs Curious starting off the first group today with two of the four advancing.

Winner of the group will take 5 points, second will take 4, third will take 1 and fourth will take 0, with the top two finishers also moving onto the ro16 where they can earn more points for your team. I've got Ghostking (as part of my 'pick everyone in Prime strategy) and Curious in action today, glgl everyone!

[SwoopAE]

Some trivia

Most Zerg players picked - Roy (6) - he also had the most protoss last season from memory

Most Terran players picked - Noname and Shanetrain (6)

Most Protoss players picked - Isuckoutonu (5)

Not sure who the most picked player is yet, it should be close between a few of them

[SwoopAE]

My work here is done for now, will be back to update scores after tonight's games

lol i have the 7 most commonly picked players in my team - so much for uniqueness (although I was the only one with Marineking after 13 teams had been submitted initially)

[SwoopAE]

Good to see my 'PICK EVERYONE IN PRIME' strategy is off to a good start.

Unfortunately, Curious fell apart against Seed, time for redemption against Hero maybe?

[SwoopAE]

Never seen curious play that bad against anyone with the games against Seed that was just disgraceful he didn't even look a Code A player. Ghostking was the only one who looked like he could be any threat beyond the ro16 today. Results incoming

GSP04 takes an early lead going a perfect 2 for 2 qualified so far, closely followed by last season's winner TheChronicLS at 1 for 1.

Quantic_Naniwa, CreatorPrime, TheSTC and LG-IM_Nestea will be in action tomorrow.

Shoot. I had Ghostking in my initial list before the groups came out. Changed my list a ton after that. Symbol vs the audible to Violet was really close for me. Symbol looked insane the last couple of weeks in the GSTL, but Violet has always been pretty sick to me and has been crushing the last six weeks especially pro cup 9 where he didn't drop a single game.
