Maybe someone mentioned this already, but

+ Show Spoiler +
both potential IEM winners lost their Ro32 games to players who are already in Ro8


Because of this, I don't see how this rule is unfair to the players who made it to the Ro16 but not Ro8.

Actually I was wrong

I thought squirtle, who lost to supernova, was in the IEM finals. It's actually Ace, who lost to Coca, who lost to Leenock in Ro16.

Sounds like a good opinion, and it would be funny if the IEM champion would be one of the ST guys because they deserve it.

Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.

The GOMTV player infringes copyright and should be banned from the right-hand bar of this site just like the other 'infringing' streams. Except the mods here don't seem to understand how that works or maybe they don't care. Either way, Gretech is completely corrupt and bs. allegedly.

stop whinning plz what else did you expect to read in this thread besides the actual results of the iem rofl. come on use your common sense.

Anyways I hope too see Moon in Code S. ST_Ace didnt really impress me much just abusive 2 base pushes.

Well, the pool of Code S players they might face in the up and down matches looks extremely strong, while the winner of IEM will get an automatic Code as without having to go through those guys.

Would have been much better if the winner of Code A gets the automatic Code S spot while the winner of IEM gets a spot in the up and down matches. The only reason those guys could make it to IEM was because they got knocked out of the Code A tournament so early. I think most people would agree that winning GSL5 Code A is a greater achievement than winning IEM.

Total nonsense. The korean players for IEM were chosen BEFORE they lost in code A, they seemed to be the best code A payers at that time. Code A would have been rescheduled by GOM to allow players still competing in code A to play at IEM.
It was unfortunate that these players lost in code A, because people are now talking bullshit about their skill. But it had nothing to do with them being able to go to IEM.

Also note that these code A players still placed well above the code S player Idra in IEM. So I dont think its unfair that the best of them gets Idras up and down spot.

20% of these comments could have only come from ppl who didnt actually read the entire post. The winner does not get a Code S spot, only a chance at code S up and down matches as the last place finisher in ro32 code S group matches

**UPDATE**
STAce just won 3-2 over FOXMoon in the IEM Championship Finals. After seeing his dominating play in this tournament, I'd say he has a nearly guaranteed spot in Code S after up and downs.

Edit: When asked why Koreans swept the top 3 spots in the tournament, Moon said, "Because Koreans own white dudes." Win.
