I think the only reason they haven't seeded anyone is so that more newcomers have a chance to put their name out there, so I wouldn't say it's a bad thing.

This is pretty harsh but it goes to show that NOBODY is safe in an open qualifier. Those who have already made it in can consider themselves lucky, 'cos there are no guarantees.

At least the guy he lost to wasn't called Gaybar =/

Qualifying system fail.

Top 8 of season 1 should've had auto entry into the ro64.

I think it's interesting how many are immediately jumping to blame the GSL format or assume that the opponent cheesed. Tester's a high-quality player, no doubt, but it is too much to entertain the possibility that maybe Kim Byung Jun is just better?

If nothing else, I'm very interested to see how the "unknown" fares going forward.

EDIT: Note, I'm not particularly saying that the lack of seeding is a good thing, I'm just throwing it out there that maybe Kim Byung Jun is actually just good at Starcraft.

As I understand it, the GSL will have seeds. The first 3 GSL seasons are actually to determine the seeds starting with GSL 4. The top players are given the rank "S" and are allowed to seed into the Ro64.

I highly doubt that this is about "the nature of SC2" or exposure of Tester's "trendy play". Probably just cheese or, as the ever-euphemistic Korean eSports media calls it, a "unique timing rush".

or it might be simply a bo3 against another top notch player

Woah this is surprising, I'm curious to know what this timing push was exactly.

It was 2-0, and by the hundreds of posts on the other thread, didn't look like it was cheese, instead it was really smart play and smart studying.

I'm pretty sad that nobody is going to give this guy any credit for taking out tester, instead they just blame it on cheese/luck.

I'm with iNcontroL. The game is so new that nobody can ever be guaranteed to qualify, tester, cool, etc. included. Anyone can lose, and today, it was Testers day to lose.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Would really like to see replays, I'm a bit confused why pro toss keep having problems with early t rushes, first jangminchul, then huk vs qxc who surprisingly likes to go zealot, stalker, stalker instead of a sentry, and now tester, is it really that necessary to play aggressive when t can have the advantage early and your widely regarded as the better player?

Its a new game, there should be no seeds as nobody can know for sure that the first GSL players are truly good or because it was the first GSL. But yes, I think its sad for Tester that he didn't go through.

It's unorthodox play that probably took him out. He doesn't ladder that much and he has a small team of practice partners. I haven't seen Gas play but Clide on the other hand sticks to standard play in all the games I've seen of him.

Well the reason why that sort of qualifier sucks is that you canot really build sympathies for a player in this tourney as there are so many new and unknown faces every new cup. The korean SC2 scene desperately needs Stars but if even many Ro16 drop out there is no way to get accustomed to players.

That's a shame. Must have had an off day or played against something he was unfamiliar with I guess. Shame though, he would probably have delivered good games.

According to the LR thread, he won at least 1 of his games vs Tester with banshees.

This sounds really really retarded. Why would you seed from 3 tournaments into one tournament? If they just seed the top 2 its only 6 players but that would be really limited, I think top 4 should be seeded into the next tournament and the rest of the top 8 seeded into the end of a qualifier. The way they are doing it if they try and seed a fair number 4-8 players they will fill basically 1/4th the bracket.

Kind of ridiculous :/ Can you source this?
