Singapore WCS Finals

Hello all!

Welcome to the live update thread that I have started for immediate updates regarding the WCS Singapore Nationals / SEA Finals event for this weekend!

Brackets have been out already since yesterday, which is mentioned in the link below :
http://www.esl-asia.net/sea/blizzard...tion/rankings/

The Top 16 Brackets will only be published tomorrow, most probably earliest by 10pm GMT+8, and latest is midnight tomorrow. The 64 participants will compete in a single-elimination, best-of-three format for the top 16 slots to go to Day 2.

On Day 2, The top 16 players will face off in a 16 player-double elimination bracket, in a best-of-three format. The winner of the lower bracket will have to win two sets of BO3s in order to win the event itself, while the winner's bracket's winner will have to win one set of BO3 to win the top prize of $4000 USD + the sponsored trip to the Asian Continental Finals in China, which is to be held in October.

The image for the SEA Regionals says "SEA Nationals" - minor nitpick!

[inFeZa]

Heh bit confusing for some with Australia being part of SEA server but we're having our own Oceanic finals. Where's our oceanic server?

[mGGNemesis]

Stealth and I were there and I must say, it was an interesting and fun experience watching the games, especially the player's expressions, frustration, happiness, anticipation (will that cheese work?) etc etc.
Gl hf to the top 16 for today

It's part of Blizzard WCS. Thailand, Malaysia and Philippines competing for a slot at China.

ESL put it together since TH PH MY didn't get any national finals each.

[iM MaFia]

ahhh nice blizzard and ESL.. so only 1 spot for them?

[zendex]

Yes... at least that's what various sources say. :P

A shot of the PH SC2 participants, Stellar (left) and Jabito (right)

[NDG.Stitch]

Quite disappointed at the stream done by ESL to be honest. The games they are casting are not live, and it's just so disappointing to have results come in before the games are casted, loses so much hype and excitement as someone rooting for specific participants who are currently playing live.

Also heard there were no seats for the venue at the mall, really should've made some for the locals!

Though, on the bright side, I do hear that this is the best LAN tournament hosted in Singapore as of yet, and I have no doubt about that, just hope that it can be presented just as well as it is done locally. Afterall, this is supposed to be a very big international event.

[AssyrianKing]

Goodluck Nirvana, btw how old is your Liquipedia picture... lol

[nirvAnA]

ahaha it was back when i was a student, so very old!

[nirvAnA]

Results are out!

WCS Singapore

#1 FlashRevz $4,000 + Trip to China
#2 EveYekke $2,000
#3 FlashKyzer $900
#4 FlashdrakE $500
#5-6 aLtnirvAnA / eehanProAnn $300 each
#7-8 eehanRiver / FlashBlysk $300 each

Full brackets

No surprises here as tournament favourite Revenant walks home $4,000 richer! I must say the new Flash boys have improved remarkably after joining Flash. Maybe its thanks to Benji somewhat as they picked up new blood to help them in the xGtl and their joining of the team has invigorated in these players a new sense of purpose which has really driven them to perform, with strong showings in xGTL, the AU gigabyte qualifiers and the Singapore LANs. Also Yekke picks up a much deserved second placing after not even bothering to go to WCG last year and rounding up the rankings Team Protoss takes up the #4-8 spots lol!

All in all I feel the results today are a very accurate representation of the current skill level in Singapore, except for ice of course who is busy training for his 1 million dollar dota2 tournament but would easily be Top 8 at least.

WCS SEA

#1 MsKiStellar (EnDerr) $1,000
#2 MiTHRedArchon $500
#3 MsKiJaBiTo $300
#4 DuskbinCobo $??

Full brackets

Tournament favourite EnDerr now known as Stellar because he says another pinoy player is called EnDerr too, lost to RedArchon in the WB 0-2. He then made an impressive comeback in the finals, 2-0 and 2-1 to clinch the title. Poor RedArchon said he was so stressed about EnDerr he could not sleep the previously night. Jump is such a boss manager IRL too!

So there will be three players representing SEA in China.

FlashRevz
MsKiStellar (EnDerr)
MiTHRedArchon

They are probably the best three in SEA atm although it would have been nice to see two spots for Singapore and EveYekke go to China too, since China and Taiwan have like 10 spots and Singapore just one!

Quick Comments

	syfChadMann:	Grats to Rev!!
	ProAnnn:	$300 to jabito

[ESLSEA]

Final Brackets are released!




As part of the stream team, we would like to apologise for the mishaps and technical issues that kept popping up during the stream yesterday, and that if you have spent time waiting for the stream to work properly in the earlier part of the day, It would be our responsibility to ensure that a good stream was to be delivered for those who were watching.

We promise to deliver something better in the future to ensure that no such matters should happen again.

Thanks to everyone who came down to the event to support as well as those who were watching the stream for the SEA event!

[FlashDrakE]

Thanks to all the tournament organisers and the marshalls, hopefully I wasn't being too demanding.
