e-Stars Seoul 2008 Continental Cup

e-Stars Seoul is set to return this year for its second iteration following an eventful success last year. This year however, the organization has adopted a different style of tournament for the first time in e-sports' history.

Teams and players have been divided into 2 categories - East and West. While players from East are from Korea and China, West representatives hail from all over Europe; France, Sweden, Ukraine and Poland.

The tournament system is broken down into 2 phases. In Warcraft 3, both teams will first go head-to-head in a Deathmatch system, which is much similar to NGL's format of "winner stays, loser goes out".

After that, teams will continue to duke it out in a Threesome system, where each player froma team goes up against another from the opposing team in a designated map. The scores will be added up to determine the final winner.

Team Rosters:

Team EastTeam West
Korea, South Garimato (Coach)Norway XeqtR (Coach)
China Human WE.Pepsi.SkyNetherlands Orc MYM]Grubby
Korea, South Nightelves MYM]MoonSweden Nightelves aTTaX | SaSe
Korea, South Orc SK.LynUkraine Nightelves Gravitas.HoT

 

Team EastTeam West
Korea, South Garimato (Coach)Norway XeqtR (Coach)
China DragonPoland MYM
Korea, South eSTROSweden fnatic
Korea, South Lunatic HaiFrance emuLate

 

While the coach from the winning team gets to bring home US$2,000, the other coach will have to settle for US$1,000. The remaining prize-money is divided as follows:

WC3 Prize-money segregation

Each player from winning team - US$4,000
Each player from losing team - US$2,000

CS Prize-money segregation

Each team from the overall winning team - US$12,000
Each team from the overall losing team - US$6,000

The tournament seems kinda confusing for me. But the price money this time is very low. :(

Oh and any idea about coverage?

Interesting touranement format. It is a shame a lot of the matchups won't be known ahead of time.

As long as it doesnt result in excessive mirror matches it should be fine.
I can't see West being East though : )
