Dear god (P)Choya got manhandled by Keen in this series, he let a nuke go off from a ghost that wasn't even cloaked
(T)Keen - A
Yes I gave him an A because he executed a successful nuke and for no other reason.

ROFL!!!

Now, being serious, When did Clide say he is the best player in the wolrd?? I missed it completely...
and also while the hate on InCa, what did he do??

Anyways, nice write-up, thanks!!


Clide self claims being the best player in the world by doing it in his play! It was just jokes that I was jabbing at clide, of course he never said I'm the best player ever. It's not like I quoted him or anything I was just trying to have a little fun with it.

I think I agree a little more with the sentiment of no stars, I gave no stars if I felt no one should ever watch those games. But using 0.5 or 1 for those makes more sense in retrospect and 0's should be reserved for really amazing/hilarious failures.


Ahhhhh, ok, its just that I missed casually the day Clide played so I thought he said it, lol, thanks for clearing this up.
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

Huk with his top 3 control in the world should easily make it out of the up-and-down matches.

On a side note: Keen now deserves an A++ or S rank for his celebration in the Ro16 matches.

In your group D grades you say Nestea is in the up/down matches which is false.

HuK should be angry after these games. Despite being clearly the second best player in the group, he will now only have one chance in the up/down matches.


Again with the HuK hype :/

Just because you're biased towards huk doesn't mean the system needs to change.

might just need to get over it m8

After that Inca vs Virus series, I don't think you can honestly say HuK is a better player than Inca. HuK would almost definitely have lost that series. Inca is looking much stronger now that he has had some time to prepare.

I really don't like how the Recommended Games/Game Ratings with Stars is also the spoiler/match results. With how many tournaments are going on, it's impossible to choose, and your/these GSL reports that have a solid, objective, and rating-based Recommended Games section (either by polling if a match should be watched or through Out of 5 stars) are the biggest reason I buy a GSL ticket. I know there are millions of great matches out there, hell there are probably more epic matches randomly uploaded on a game replay website then all the tournaments combined. But what they don't have is a rating system to recommend games. Because of these reports, I can actually know what games are amazing to watch and worth what limited time I have. And so I buy a GSL ticket.

it's not the biggest deal in the world, compared to most things (sports, movies, etc) I don't mind being spoiled about the ending and just watching a good show. But still, I'm surprised, please split them up so the recommended games aren't spoiled (people who already saw the games don't need a rating system to tell them how awesome the game they saw is, they already know and can just see it in another section).

Don't mean to be overly critical, but I'm kind of sad

Insulting rain is fine but insulting Huk is not. Huk is a joke.

My recommended list:

A: None
B: Game 2
C: None
D: Game 1, game 3, game 5
E: Game 1, game 2, game 4
F: Game 1
G: Game 5
H: Game 5

Code A
Boxer vs. Avenge game 3
Choya vs. Keen game 1
(to be honest there's probably more but I forgot)

awesome write-up, I disagree with the rating you gave to HuK vs Inca however, I think HuK's strategy was well-constructed and tailored for the 3 gate robo play that Inca went, which HuK anticipated. Despite the game possibly not having as much luster, a clutch forcefield, a unique upgrade choice, and the outcome of the final battle, despite HuK's early gambit not paying off at all, show a polished strategy by HuK that has merit.

I don't understand why they don't just do a straight round robin format.

then eliminated players would still be playing like the NASL. Nobody wants to see meaningless games involving eliminated players.
