Suddenly, I have lost 90% of my interest in the MSL with Kal and Stork gone. The other 10% rests with Bisu.
|
I'm frankly not that surprised with Stork's loss. He does have the perplexing tendency to fall out of groups he's supposed to win. (Hi Shine [no not the zerg, the terran]). But it's really disappointing.
Blergh, now there's practically little-to-no protoss left. :[
Maybe that strategy with the all-protoss group by Bisu/Movie/Shuttle/Stats was a good idea after all.

There you are!

these are some of the most pathetic results i have ever seen. i cannot believe stork and best are out of the MSL

I wonder why so many people are blaming the maps. MVP beated Stork and Best on Fighting Spirit and Match Point, not exactly super terran favored maps...
Anyway, little more race diversity would be fine, but better this than all protoss semifinals again lol.

Match Point is pretty T>Z/P and P>Z because it's hard to get for zergs/protoss to get one base more than protoss/terran.

Stork has definitely been doing slumping in the individual leagues just as bad as Bisu. Over the past two seasons. I wonder why people think Stork is doing so much better, or do they just have higher expectations of Bisu?
Stork: Korean Air OSL- In ro16, currently 0-1 in his group 2010 MSL- Out in ro32 0-2 Ever OSL- Out in ro8 1-2 to Shine[Kal] Nate MSL- Out in ro32 0-2
Bisu: Korean Air OSL- Out to Go.Go 1-2 in the second match of the ro36 2010 MSL- In ro32 has not played yet Ever OSL- Out to Shine[Kal] 1-2 in the second match of the ro36 Nate MSL- Out in ro32 1-2
These are the two best protoss in the game at the moment. They just can't seem to hack it in the starleagues. There has to be balance issues with the maps as the dragons and protoss in general don't seem to be doing good at all.
Here is some data from the last 2 MSLs and OSLs about protoss performance.
They have no champions and Movie is the only finalist. Protoss in the ro4 in the last 2 MSLs and OSLs: 2 Protoss in the ro8 of the last 2 MSLS and OSLs: 7
If you want to add in other tournaments for the roughly past 8 months. Bisu beat Stork in the WCG Korea final, but no other protoss made it to the ro4 or ro8.
At GOM, no protoss made the ro4 and 2 made the ro8.
Idk, I guess since the age of the dragons ended the maps have been very hard on protoss. They can't all be going into slumps at the same time. Another possibility is terran and zerg players improved a lot and toss players cant improve their race anymore. It really is unfortunate to see them all losing for the past 8 or 9 months.

wow hydra O______O
stork 
surprising results indeed
@ nick_54's stats: it's definitely quite a contrast from the dragon glory days.
|
Holy shit. I am shocked by this. O____O
Flash's chance to rape both leagues just increased by 50%!
|
You have to think about how the players are playing, not just their results. I haven't seen the games yet but blindly saying Stork is slumping and comparing him to Bisu (who had no Ro8 finishes, unlike Stork) is just fail.
Stork has always been kinda inconsistent, and even if he fell here he's still the guy who was taking games off Flash and Jaedong.
|
stork you better get your ass going in the OSL...
COMON STORK
|
It's either SC2 or the maps.
|
wtf Kal got eliminated as well... at least group H will let 2 protoss qualify T_T
|
This is wrong.. guess, we have to cheer for Bisu
|
That's why this is called ??? MSL
When everyone see this, there would be a ton of ???
and
WTF .... ??? MSL sucks ??? .... Stork was out ???
haha
|
O.o what has the world come to?
|
lots of random players advancing... it's to see new players but I have a feeling they are just going to be fodder for flash and jaedong anyways.
