First set for should be ok by that date. Probably won't be able to do second set by then. Whats the absolute latest for second set?
The dates serve as a guideline to keep the sets moving. From previous experience, it is frustrating when the sets not move and everyone tries to do it at the last minute. The first set is the most important set. The dates are there to guide and prevent procrastination.
However, all the sets must complete by 23 Dec.
As stated in the Skype chats, 19 Dec is the absolute latest for set 1 to be completed before walkovers (for set 1) begin. This is to prevent frustration from the others who cant even get started.
Also I heard there are mentions or people curious about the prize pool. We are still getting that sorted out but minimum it would be similar to that from GMC#1. If there are donors out there who wish to contribute to the prize pool to hype it up further, please feel free to pm me.
Spoiler alert :
For those who have gone to IEM SG and have heard (or seen the pix I shared in one Skype group), one prize (and we aren't talking about the 1st - 4th prize) would be a mousepad autographed by 3 special players (a Terran, a Zerg and a Protoss).

At 4pm AEDT/ 1pm SGT, we will be casting about 8 games from the GMC round of 44. I know many are eager to see what actually happened during those 2 weeks and despite knowing who qualified, how close were the games, epicness, what WERE the actual scores and also to see how your favourite player(s) performed.

Due to some hiccups in Group B, gonna announce the results here .
Congrats to Chase and Daedalus for advancing.
Group D will be casted tomorrow (27 Dec, Friday) at 7.30pm AEDT / 5.30pm SGT. Remember to come support.
Also we were thinking.. instead of just posting the round of 8's brackets.. we are going do a guessing game over the next few days to announce who is facing off who in the round of 8. So watch for them and have some fun Pictionary style.

The way we shall be revealing the round of 8 bracket will be via this guessing game.
Everyday i will post 2 images which represent the players versing each other in the round of 8. Some of these will be hard, with only a few people getting them. However, if you think about the casted games in the round of 16 you should be able to get the tricky ones.
Congratulations to Fischball and Daedalus for correctly picking both of the players. Indeed the first player was CheesyKiwi. He is famous for his 10 pool banes and so i thought it would be an appropriate hint . The 2nd player was more difficult, but once you figured out that the Zerg player was proxy hatching the Protoss, and dropping Ultralisk, you do reach the conclusion that chase is our second player.
Mightykiwi does go into this series as the favourite, however Chase's unorthodox style may cause an upset. This could be a very close series!
