Blizzcon 2008 will be going down this weekend and in the run-up to the tournament Franklin "Nilknarf" Pearsall has dropped out and will be replaced by Jonathon "Kiwikaki" Garneau.Nilknarf came out of inactivity to place in the top two of the US leg of the qualifiers to warrant his place at the finals.
The brackets have now been reshuffled with only one match-up remaining unchanged which is the match between Sung Sik 'ReminD' Kim and Dmitriy 'Happy' Kostin. Nilknarf replacement Jonathan 'KiWiKaKi' Garneau must face Korean Night elf player Hyeong Ju 'Check' Lee in the first round now.
ReMinD's team-mate June 'Lyn' Park sees himself moved to the other half of the bracket to face Kim 'SaSe' Hammar instead of his original opponent Nikolaus 'SonKiE' Cassidy. The move is a double edged score, on the one hand Lyn avoids meeting team-mate ReMinD while on the other hand faces a harder bracket with two strong Night Elf players.
Nikolaus 'SonKiE' Cassidy originally drafted to play Lyn now manages to avoid their encounter after the bracket reshuffle instead facing Spanish Orc player Pedro 'LucifroN' Moreno Durán in the first round.
New Round 1 matches
Jonathan 'KiWiKaKi' Garneau vs Hyeong Ju 'Check' Lee
June 'Lyn' Park vs Kim 'SaSe' Hammar
Sung Sik 'ReminD' Kim vs Dmitriy 'Happy' Kostin
Nikolaus 'SonKiE' Cassidy vs Pedro 'LucifroN' Moreno Durán

now instead of a goof final of SaSe/Check vs Lyn, we will see Lyn vs Happy or lucifron? -_-
anyway gl lucifron
He have been lucky with the reshuffle, but he have to train vs humans in just one day... let see if he performs as he's spected to :D
kiwi should just have replaced nilk while all the other games beeing unaffected by that.
some players got easier or tougher opponents now which means some of them got advantages or disadvantages by this replacement.
sase win :D)))
