Do people really prefer the jumbled and confusing GSL4 vs the straight forward GSL3? O,.o | ||

O,.o Absolutely! After watching a night or two of the GSL4 format, there isn't really a reason why you shouldn't understand it. The GSL format means that someone can run into a VERY strong player, but still live to fight another day. I use the example of Marine King v Jinro. Two VERY good players. Jinro lost to Marine King, but that doesn't mean his journey ends. He gets a chance at redemption, and Marine King still needs to prove himself once (or twice) more. It takes away the "polarization" from each match. Say you're in a round of 32. Player D is better than player S. That doesn't mean player S shouldn't get a chance to progress through the season (provided he is good enough) and win more prize money. For all we know, in the round of 32, Player D could take the whole lot out. Player S could be a worthy second place contender. | ||

The group from today would have played out so much differently, say something like this:+ Show Spoiler + MC > clide MKP > Jinro MC vs MKP Jinro vs Clide And if MKP and Jinro won, we'd have Jinro vs MC for the final set. Makes a lot more sense than the current format I think you mean Rainbow, Clide was in Idra's group.

Or A and D and B and C? I like the group system but its formatting is sightly flawed as you said. Players shouldn't be able to play each other in the Ro32 groups and than again in the Ro8. This is the sign of a bad system. Players should only have the chance to meet a second time in the tournament in the semi finals or finals. This is how the sytem should be setup: Key: place group round ex: 1A32 = 1st place of group A in the round of 32 Round of 16 Group A 1A32 1B32 2C32 2D32 Group B 1C32 1D32 2A32 2B32 Group C 1E32 1F32 2G32 2E32 Group D 1G32 1E32 2E32 2F32 Round of 8 Left Bracket 1A16 2D16 1B16 2C16 Right Bracket 1C16 2B16 1D16 2A16 | ||

My thought EXACTLY. Their current group format is SOOO dumb. And there are games not meaning much in this format, like Nada vs Idra, Nada even says in interview he make a BO that didn't work anymore, because that game didn't mean much. I think I wouldn't watch these meaningless games anymore. | ||
