Not saying you shouldn't complain about a system with huge flaws, but if the flaws are recognized but more realistic and efficient to implement (time and money), then complaining about small flaws only when you have personal interest in them reasonably attracts backlash. | ||

Anyway as a long time subscriber of every GSL season it doesn't seem that... Exciting anymore even if it has got better. I'd rather spend my time watching the NA players who have more personality even if the standard is a little lower. | ||

You can't use head to head, because each of them will have beaten another person. Look at the previous OSL formats which were round-robin. There have been cases of tiebreakers that lasted for 5+ hours because people kept tying. The problem with GOM system is that it favour people that selected earlier too much 1st player is seeded, he will then pick somebody he sure can beat during the selection (July pick Rain) 2nd player (Rain) then assume that he will lose, pick somebody that he can beat twice (since he will need to play the winner of set 2) so he pick Inca 3rd player (Inca) would then pick somebody that he sure he can beat (Huk) 4th player (Huk) is then in a tough spot because he would play somebody that confidence can beat him (Inca) and if he does lose he will most likely play the 1st player (July) and got 0-2 immediately while if you think about it, there is no merit for Rain to be picked 2nd and have a say on how his next games will be other than the fact that July think he can beat him easily So I would really think that there should be 3 different pot based on points where player number 9-16 will be in pot 2, 17-24 will be in pot 3 and 25-32 will be in pot 4 then 1st player can only choose player from pot 2, 2nd player can choose from pot 3 and 3rd player choose from pot 4. This way you will avoid 'stronger' player being placed in the unfavourable 4th spot of the group imho though | ||

"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." Funny how Inca rolled his way into the finals after the group stages. A little less bias in the write-ups would be nice. | ||
