I have not heard from Haypro (quiet guy?) but what I have heard is good things. But Huk has stated good things about Ganzi as well, even through his very confident attitude at Assembly. My hopes go to Haypro but my head doesn't know enough to make a technical call. And barring some big mistake or tricky play, I think Huk will go far in his group. Obviously Go Team Liquid....and Squirtle....but mostly Liquid....but Nazgul should try and get Squirtle to go to Liquid....but go Liquid regardless~! | ||

SlayersJjob certainly was one of the surprising stars of the GSTL, but at the same time is was a best of 1 team league. I think it will be very close and it is a difficult game to call off hand, but I would have to give the edge to Ret.

As for the way they've seeded these, it's pretty good. The races are evenly split up. Returning Code A mostly play "new" Code A. Only 3 mirror match ups. No potential Team Kills in Ro32 (in which the loser drops out of Code A), and foreign invites won't be taking each other out until the Ro4 at the earliest. All told, a solid bracket. Let's hope the games are MUCH better than last time, as last Ro32 was pretty sad. Oh, one other thing: be careful when trying to take some of the Team League performances and apply them to Code A. As the recent Power Rankings for SC:BW was talking about, there is a big difference between the two types of competition. We could very easily see some of the good players from the GSL Team League go out in the Ro32. | ||

Does it mean that mOOnGLaDe is not a tough opponent, or that mOOnGlaDe has easy opponents? Cause if it's the latter, then I'll say that mOOnGLaDe isn't part of liquid... | ||

With so few major SC2 Korean tournaments, I get the feeling many many quality players who are Code S level or Code A level are left on the cutting room floor so to speak. The definitely belong there skill wise, but there are just not enough spots, so it feels like there is this overflow going on of players who could perform, but are disqualified due to the cutthroat nature of the qualifiers. You can argue this improves the overall quality of the current Code A and Code S, but I feel like if someone trains for a month or a month and a half and plays what could easily be seen as an upper Code S level (skillwise) match against another tough opponent and does not qualifiy for Code A, thus resulting in another month or two of nothing but training. It could create some disillusioned players and hurt the pro scene in the long run. Or perhaps I am looking too far into things. | ||

Just make an actual Team League to run alongside the GSLs similar to BW with the pro league + MSL/OSL. most players get their play in pro league, except the best o the best get far the MSL/OSL (or the ones who are currently playing amazingly) | ||

Haypro need to get through first Moon and then Ganzi. Even then he has Ace, Yugioh and Leeknock. ret has to content with both Killer and CchapSeungE and then players like squirle, Alive and Cezanne. (This would be the group of death for a foreigner imo). | ||

Killer is a formidable opponent. However, JookTo's pvz is very strong. If he can survive the early pressure, he got dis. Glade should steam roll his opponent. He's glade ffs. | ||

Whats with all the hype for Squirtle, though? I've only seen him play once, when he 4-0'd the first set of the GSTL, and his play was (relativley) horrible. So many stupid mistakes and bad micro that it almost seemed like he was doing it on purpose. After that 4-0 I decided I'd be happier asleep, so I jsut gave up on GSTL for the night and forgot about it until now. Did he end up sucking less later? and when I say 'suck' I mean relative to other top players; obviously it takes a certain amount of skill to even be in that position. | ||
