Bnet Launcher Link to Summer Championship lands on Blizzard Esports Page with half the group stage info missing

Referring of course to this landing page for HGC Summer Globals 2016 where apparently, less than one day before the first matchup (and ~~FOUR DAYS~~ almost two days after the info first appeared on reddit), the info for the first group stage is still not updated on the page.

Bizarrely, the partial info for the second group stage is already input on the page.

Blizzard please. You had one job. Can't even blame ESL / Dreamhack for this one. And this is the page linked from the bnet launcher, where the casual viewers come from, but most of the info is still TBD?

Cheers man. Do you know how the seeding into group stage 2 is determined? E.g. will stage 2 group A get stage 1 group A winner and group B runner up or vice versa?

Page should be updated now, big shout out to our Community team for helping get this back on it's feet!

As for group stage 2 seeding from group stage 1, teams will be paired opposite (so they don't play the same team they just played in group stage 1) then distributed randomly. Let me know if that makes sense!

Thanks for your patience.

Also, Beyond the Nexus still isn't on the launcher - and it should be.

Unfortunately that's out of my reach, but fear not the teams involved saw all of your feedback, thanks!

Edit, wait a Michael Udall second... I see BTN on my launcher both in NA and EU, it's next to my friends block.
