I watched almost every web cast, and I must say that no regionals stuck out this year as super exciting. Last year GTR was the regional to rule them all, but I could not place my thumb on a similar event this year. WMR came close, but no cigar. It must be something about either...

C) The new match algorithm/serpentine draft
