Evn if we consider DeMusliM to have had good results lately with the WCS, IdrA has been in the depths of hell since a long time ago.



The rest of the invites are fine even if NightEnd is a enigma. And please make sure that fraer and TiTaN play their games first should they be in the same group. We don't want lame excuses this time.

It seems I missed something. I just looked into Liquipedia to see if I could find anything. Can I guess that fraer/sLivko played eachother last in the Dreamhack Group Stage #2, both would advance with a 2-1 for sLivko and it turned out to be a 2-1?



Have to say that only reason I see to throw the randomized order of play around in group stages is when you have a teamkill; you would want to start off with that. It seems I missed something.

Edit: Just realized that sLivko is also on RoxKis; had a minor brain fart (confused him with Aristeo, who is on Empire). In that case they should have started the group stage with that game, not because it is likely that they would rig it but to prevent the appearance from being created.



I have to say by the way that criticising tournaments for their invites is kind of stupid: if you know how to do it better then why don't you run your own tournament? Especially inviting people that are good at attracting fans to either the venue (Naama and elfi) or the stream (IdrA) makes good sense from a business point of view. Never forget that this is actually a business, not a charity. Money has to be made.

Still, the nice thing aboud these European tournaments is that the European talent is more concentrated and represented, and the Korean-foreigner gap doesn't look quite as bad Team Slayers, Axiom-Acer and Vile forever
