I constantly feel like this format just sucks. If two good players get paired up very early, it's done... I fail to see why they don't get placed in groups like the MSL... 4 players per group, player a plays player b, player c plays player d. Two winners play, winner of that advances. Two losers play, winner of that plays loser of winners game. Do that for ALL qualifications... And once you reach Ro16/32 do the OSL style, everyone plays everyone over a couple days. Ro8 up is single elimination.

Just my format idea, I think that's what hurting Gom the most. And sad to see tester not make it

This is the way it is for OPEN TOURNAMENT
But I am pretty sure he can get his code S in next season for sure.

I bet tester lost to a Marine/Banshee/Raven timing push. The only known way to beat it is the very risky Stargate into fast phoenix's first and hope the terran is bad enough to let his banshees die without marine support.

But this is only the begining because phoenix are worthless vs Marine and im 70% sure that PDD cancels out Phoenix fire as well you need something to deal with the Marines because gatway doesn't work, especially if PDD is canceling all your stalker shots and marines have combat shield + stim. Colossus or Psi storm is required, but if the terran gets a Raven and his marine upgrades and attacks your base before you have a tier 3 solution to mass marine your screwed basically. Also your kind of forced into robo bay just because of the threat that he may or may not research cloak for his banshees which sucks.

Really Really sucks ass for Toss everywhere that TesteR didn't make it, would have liked to see a solution to problems that i could use... but i guess not ;(

Yeah I've been scouring replay sites and watching korean streaming in hopes of seeing a P actually beat that build, not been able to find it yet. There's probably a counter somewhere, but if these "unique timing pushes" are beating people like Tester, then it might be a while.

The format is OK, in my opinion. The first three GSLs are going to be used for seeding, in a sense (code S and code A designations). Having a few, big open tournaments is the best way to decide on the designations. It's not the optimal way to run a league (since players who certainly deserve to be in the main tournament will get knocked out), but this isn't really the way the league is going to be run in the future.

I think that SC2 is in a crap shoot phase, has been in it since it was launched (as every new game) and will be for the short time still. It's getting better each day but random shit will still win games.

I could just be ignorant tho.

I'm reading this and I'm kinda confused T.T

What is the difference between cheese and a "unique timing push".

Newbie player so don't be too harsh =)

why should GSL seed scrubs who can't even qualify?
this should really be a thread for why DAVIT failed to advance. now that's something worth discussion and also legitimately sad.

I definitely think this is why there should be seeds in the GSL... And again, "Any given sunday". That's why they play the game.
