It was an entertaining weekend.

I'm somewhat certain that the World Division group stage was invitational, based on the people who took part of it. China's qualifiers seem to have been bigger, maybe less invitational. You can see the results of those qualifying stages from GosuGamers (or at least most of the results, Chinese results are partially incomplete).
Gul'dan is too busy making commercials so he can't appear on the event?
In a corner, warlock is crying...
No free packs for choosing a champion? :(
It's not a tournament that Blizzard is hosting. One can dream though.
I was happy that a girl made it, until i realized that she is seriously the only one with 5 aggro or very very fast midrange decks -.- I would be a little bit disappointed, if she actually wins with those decks
Just seeing the ''Popular Rares'' card list -- Maelstrom Portal, Thing from Below* and Devolve -- it is fair to say that this time around, Shaman's are well represented
Hooray girl power represent!!! :D
Nice breakdown looks like quite a bit of work went into it
I think I can safely speak for myself and frosty when I say..
!@#$ non-english deck lists.
Thanks for the comment! These esports posts can take quite a bit out of ya when putting them together. Sometimes information is scattered around the place. We got pretty lucky with StarLadder's event; They have a good handle on how to present information.
Should that be "top 2 from each group"? Top 3 doesn't make sense in a double-elimination format.
Corrected my mistake, thanks Sabadass for catching that.
Just doing my part!
