considering map imbalances (thanks Blizz) and the facrt that the game already lends itself to huge amounts of cheese (in season 3 the macro games were few and far between) all these BO1 will just turn the tournament into a joke... you can't show you're the best player in one game, even BO3 didn't prevent plenty of cheesers from qualifying for and moving up in seasons 1, 2 and 3, if they play just one mgame, well, they might just toss a coin, one good build and you win, one bad build (or bad in that one game anyways) and you're out... too bad, I was looking forward to seeing all those great players but when the system seems to favor cheesers even more so than usual I think I'll pass best of luck to Ret though, he's really underrated and should have made code S already (but he lost too cheese, hmmm) really shows whoever coined the term e-sport doesn't really know what sports are about peace, gl | ||

edit: Despite it's complexity, it makes sense. If only the random drawings for each group had worked out better.. | ||

It's probably due to time constraints though. Perhaps they could try to cast less games and instead have multiple games running at the same time? Code A isn't as attractive as Code S and I think most people would prefer a fairer tournament with bo3's for Code A ro32/16 instead of watching all the matches in Code A. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=177251 Gives all the info about the tours (including Super Tournament, World Champs etc). Also.... "Code S Ro32(16 players) : 1,500,000won each Ro16(8 players) : 2,000,000won each Ro8(4 players) : 3,000,000won each Semifinals(2 players) : 5,000,000won each Runner-up : 20,000,000won Champion : 50,000,000won" So basically you get $1,300 US for being an S-Class automatically (which is pretty sweet on a non-salary basis). | ||

Game 1:A vs B Game 2:C vs D Game 3:Winner of Game 1 vs Winner of Game 2 -> this winner is #1 in the group Game 4:Loser of Game 1 vs Loser of Game 2 -> this loser is #4 in the group Game 5:Loser of Game 3 vs Winner of Game 4 -> winner is #2, loser is #3 As opposed to the current gom-explained system where the first and 2nd turns are preordained. | ||

Is there any confirmation of the group matches being bo1? I think the system is really good, the groups aren't round robin to gain time and they seed them by rank, that's a pretty good solution to the time issue, but only if the group matches are bo3. I hope they will use bo3.. Edit: Yes, i read it again and you were talking about class A... bo1 there. That's really sad. | ||

Overall, despite the cheesing in GSL3, this GSL4 still looks damned scary. I guess we can't say "Oh, too bad they met each other so early in the tournament" anymore because everyone's such a badass. Defensive master vs Offensive master. Goin' be epic. | ||
