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".

Too bad it's not double elimination

I guess they try to do it as short as possible since there are 2000 ppl signed up.

When I read the thread name I thought 'WoW, unbelievable', then I thought 'it must be terran who took him out'. I open the thread. Yes, I was right.

I am very sad that this is happening, July and Tester T_T

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.

You can't really blame it all on the newness of the game. Offline qualifiers like this are brutal. Just go back and look at all the players who got stuck in qualifier hell in MSL/OSL back in broodwar.

Well it's a fact of PvT at the moment. Terran is really strong early and early mid. That's how he lost to intotherainbow.

There's like no protoss hero... Too much focus has been on fixing ZvT. Nobody seems to care about the horrible PvT early game.

Qualifying system fail.

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


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.

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?


From wiki:
"The results of these three tournaments will also decide who will play in the highest division of GomTV GSL 2011. After the tournaments have been played, the top32 players will be classified as "Class S" players and will enter the top division. The players finishing within 33-96th place will be classified as "Class A" players. Both of these classifications qualifies the player for the 2011 GomTV GSL, with Class S players being seeded."

I could be wrong, but I think it's the ~$87,000 first prize that makes it a "serious tournament".

Well Tester (ssKs) is basically guaranteed a Code S status in GSL 2011, so I wouldnt worry too much.

These news are very disheartening and it makes me wonder about the nature of SC2. I don't know who took out July and Moon who are beasts, but the guy who beat tester doesn't look impressive enough to eliminate such an amazing player

Hahahaha, yeah for some reason I tend to assume that if somebody lost it was because of some grand reason, but cheese sounds about right

I don't get how he could loose, He's been amazing vs cheese in the last gsl, ( beat 2 gate with 1 gate).

Kinda shocked that he lost, does anyone know anything about this guy?

This is the tournament to determine seeds. That's why no one is reseeded. If they were reseeded then winning Open 1 gives a huge advantage over winning Open 2. That's extremely silly.

SC2 has a lot of luck and divergence. This is why Elky quit WC3. It is a new game, which naturally has this. But SC2 is also designed to be this way. When you try to focus a lot more on decision making rather than mechanics you get people that accidentally make the right or wrong decision. You can't accidentally have good mechanics.

And don't give me the 'if SC2 is so easy then why aren't you winning SC2' line. If SC2 is so easy, then why did Tester lose? Because the game is easier for everyone. That's the point. That's why inferior players win more often. And that's why it doesn't feel good stealing a game off a better player or winning vs a inferior player by dodging cheese/luck.

And Tester won points already. Maybe not enough for S class, but no one knows how the point rating works. Surely he has A class already.

Haha!

There are more people that failed to advance that I wanted to see in GSL, JulyZerg being one of them.

Also look at the GomTV Facebook page to keep updated:
