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. | ||

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

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." | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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