Because Flash Jaedong etc were in the same group in the last MSL, eventually one of them was eliminated very early and the tournament sucked after that. Group of Death prove nothing, since the games are Bo1 and may end up with cheese like Flash vs Bisu on Medusa, another match from a group of death. Players like Jaedong Bisu Flash Fantasy (by which I mean the top 4 ranked player) must be put by default on the different sides of the bracket. You will again have very competitive groups but without the best player eliminating each other in no one gives a shit about Bo1, which can end up in cheese | ||

And -maybe- by.hero but he hasn't been playing much recently. We'll see in this OSL if last season was a fluke, or if by.hero will be THE NEXT BONJWA OMG PLEASE. | ||

It's not like if effort loses to jaedong he's eliminated. The way you propose is utterly stupid. The OSL seeding is done based off of the strength of the players in the OSL. (And if you look at the OSL KeSPA points you will see that they line up exactly with the seeding (because thats how they earn the points)). Another example, in Bacchus 07 Flash lost to Stork in Group C, they both qualified out of the group however, and ended up in the finals. The bit you should be worried about is the Round of 8 - which is randomly generated. The group stage means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING compared to that. | ||

Beating go.go 3 times doesn't impress me, but i haven't seen the games. They are probably horrible rapes. (I hope they are aswell) | ||

Like the cheesy build vs Sea(who sucks) and his loss vs Leta's 2p wraith(complete destruction)? Sure I have. I've also seen his 50% record. | ||

Don't trust statistics; - Yarnc hasn't appeared on the HITE roster for a while (i.e. he's not playing up to standard seeing as HITE is jostling for position in PL which implies that they would be sending out the best lineup they can) - The majority of his ZvT wins are against poor players - The majority of his ZvT stats come from the winners league - In the past month he is 3-0 ZvT (vs light x2 and vs baby - not exactl star quality) | ||
