Is it weird that when I read everything you say I can hear your voice saying it in my head haha

I was surprised too but to be honest, do you see that many people rolling round with those skins on? And even when they do they probably don't have all sets of them. I don't think they sold as well as OP commanders

probably, and if you ask me the skins just appeared looking not so attractive, at least to me

Then perhaps now it is more believable

Heh I thought I could just blurt out these seeds, but really it would take me a lot of time to get it right. First thing I would do is get all of their steam ID#s into our ladder ranking spreadsheet. Then make manual adjustments based on tourney results. It takes a bit of effort.

And contrary to the poll results, I would prolly give Hansie the #1 seed, since he won the last big ESL Europe final. He's also been practicing. Hans is the man to beat IMO. I'm sure everyone will be gunning for him. But I would definitely give him the respect #1 seed. Followed closely by Luvnest and Jove. The #4 seed would be the really tough call. Maybe it would have to be VonIvan since he won ESL NA consistently, and he's also been practicing.

I like your top 4 and your top 8, A_E. Hopefully Relic will have the good sense to make sure those top 8 are spread over the entire bracket, and there is no chance that any of them could take each other out in Round 2 (Ro16). As long as that much is achieved, it should be a pretty good tournament.

I would question your DevM seed tho, after he just lost to Theo in the Best-of-3 finals last week. For me, you gotta put Theo in the top 8. Same concept with Hansie, the most recent results get given more weight.

This is my top 10 best players for the tournament based on tournament experience and playstyle. In tournament settings its not only skill, but also MENTAL aspect is super important. So DevM with his pro LoL exp has huge advantage still imo.

1) DevM

For what, VODs? Relic exported their entire stream (8 hours long) in one big spam of twitchstream to their YouTube channel. It would have been nice if they had made the effort to highlight the individual games.|
