BlizzCon 2008 brackets released

Posted by "sD.AnTstYle" 3 years ago

The BlizzCon event is back, with this year's event being held at the Anaheim Convention Center in California once again, on October 10th-11th!


Invited StarCraft Players
Korea sAviOr (CJ Entus)
None TBC
Korea XellOs (CJ Entus)
Korea fOrGG (Lecaf OZ)
Korea YellOw (KTF)
United States IdrA (CJ Entus)
Korea NaDa (WeMade FOX)
Korea Jangbi (Samsung KHAN)

The StarCraft tournament once again has eight players - of which this year all are progamers, as GosuGamer's top ranked terran Ukraine MYM.Strelok is unfortunately unable to participate due to visa issues.

IdrA is also participating, making CJ Entus the strongest contender with three out of the eight players. Terran is also dominating the lineup, with four terrans against two zergs and only one protoss, Jangbi. The first matches to be played will be TBC vs. Savior, XellOs vs. fOrGG, YellOw vs. IdrA and NaDa vs. Jangbi. The tournament is in a double elimination format, as usual, making for even more great games to watch - some of the games are likely to be streamed, so keep an eye out for the start of the tour.

GosuGamers will have crew reporting live from the event to bring you the best coverage possible. Until then, stay tuned for more information as we get closer and closer to the event!

Well on mymym.com there is topic that said Sterlok will not play due to his VISA problem :/ so they will have 2 invite some1 else...And btw i think that myb 1 of the Zergs will take it ;) i hope so btw they are all Terrans ;)...

5terrans, 2zergs, 1toss - you got to be kidding me ;/ of course terran fans (especially tvst ones) are happy, but imho more diversity is needed.

And Strelok deserves it imo - he couldn't make it to WWI. But if he can't go i see Nony/Mondi/JF going instead of him.

Actually if you only count koreans there are only 3 terrans 2 zergs and 1 toss. The non-koreans dont count since they yet again wont stand a chance. Maybe Idra can surprise us since as far as i know yellow's been inactive for a while but thats not very likely.

#29 vR.Inferno 3 years ago
forGG has this ezz

#30 mj 3 years ago
no, yellow will own him pretty easly, he is just bad type of opponent for idra, yellow playing low eco, high pressure game, and idra is dead with his 9999x times played build T_T

#31 PRYDA 3 years ago

I want to see July, sAviOr and YellOw play in the same tournament sometime. The 3 greatest zergs of all time.

#34 if you see the game Strelok vs Haypro - that was one of the worst games for strelow for a long time - I dont think that if everythink was OK that he play that badly - strelok himself told that he has problems with his mouse and in his micro it was visible - he only dont have time for solve all his problems because it was live stream

And cloud - I saw the games - cluod was realy great and it was close matches

#42 if you knew anything, you would know that IdrA was given his progaming license, right before he went to CJ Entus.
