SeatStory Cup V Impressions
Here are some impressions from the previous SeatStory Cup!
Streams
Two streams will be used to broadcast the event. The Main Stream and the B-Stream. Once the event starts you can watch them below.
I like this event.
Last Hero Standing-Format? Really? In 2016? And i hoped this died years ago...
Lmao wifecoach has the best name ever.
My personal favorite tournament. Last Seatstory had some amazing semi-finals, and a ridiculous BO7 with Lifecoach and Jackie. Hoping to see America represent a bit better this time around.
Torlk l'escroc 5/5 !!
I really like the E group. 2 World Champions and Reynad - nice mix-up :)
Next year when there's a 4th world champion, I'd love to see all of them in the same group.
They missed Pavel to different group.
What about Kolento, Thjis, Pavel, DrHippi or Hotform? Why are these guys being taken over the other ones? I agree on some players here but I can't agree on other players.
Thjis and Kolento are playing in China this weekend I believe.
I believe Thijs chose not to attend the event.
Thijs and Kolento chose to go to China to play in a different tournament, there was a scheduling conflict. Moreover, the organizers can invite whoever they want, and we don't know who were invited and couldn't or didn't want to come.
Definitely my personal favorite event of the year :) The only player i'm missing in this line-up is Thijs and unfortunately Frodan couldn't make it this year either to cast (or play)
I have high hopes for this as I really liked SeatStory Cup V. Will definitely be watching as much as I can.
In case you want to know who's facing who in their first Group Stage matches be sure to visit the official website, the pairings are already there.
Thanks. Lol. Firebat vs Ostkaka. Champions battle!!!!
who is this wifecoach ?
