(well, maybe.) What you're experiencing is sample bias. What do you mean maybe lol. I think the Jinro series was 2-3. So TLO never lost to Nada, Boxer? Man im happy 
TLO lost to nada twice i think in the BO5 at the IEM... And nada had only practiced for one week.
+ why shouldnt nada/boxer be as good as e.g. tester/cool/ITR after some pratice... they're also ex-BW pros... so I don't think they are overrated... I expect nada and boxer to be at the Ro16

I'm so happy with 3 GSL's in a row. Top entertainment non-stop!
I really hope TLO can defend the pride of the Europeans.  Gogo man if you read this!

fruitdealer in the same group as violet? damn, hoped he would make it

Boxer out at R32, my prediction.

Theres still plenty of people worth watching i think. Not trolling when I say this but.... considering some of the recent boxer games I've seen on youtube,... I'll be honest. I'm surprised he made it. Meh, Boxer is improving on a day-to-day basis and it's a week until the real thing starts. Regardless, if he makes it past RO32 I'll be surprised. Disclaimer: Still not trolling, incase some kind of defenders come along. Considering his play on youtube and who has smashed him - and then how far those people have got in the GSL last season, it just doesn't make sense to me. :/ I wish the guy well as he is a legend and all but honestly his play has been sub par against people who lost in the last GSL. How Tester can not get in and Boxer does eludes me.
Well probably because Boxer is way more experienced than Tester and doesn't get nearly as nervous.

Also have we found out what the cheaper GSL2 price is for GSL1 subscribers?

is Nazgul not playing in gsl 2?

I'm surprised he made it. well he obviously got a rigged bracket, a cpl byes and played a 1300 point terran who came through from the other side of the bracket in the final.... it may have been a nubs lucky day but considering the circumstances im pretty sure boxers road was made sure to have no big bumps.... cant really blame them for it though, they would be suicidal if they didnt ensure boxer is in gsl2 Oh come on. So now you're suggesting that they rig the whole thing?

The arbitrariness of it, and the fact that GomTV doesn't officially announce it as policy is sketchy, but in practice the seeding of "better" players is pretty standard. That's kind of dumb. Why not just outright seed some players then? They could at least seed the good players from the GSL1 and have a good justification for it. I guess it'd be harder to justify seeding players like NaDa and Boxer who didn't participate in the GSL1, though.

Different parts of the same group, they can both make it I'm pretty sure.

If Fruitdealer gets disqualified...this board will go ballistic.

Last set for Cool and he's in Ro64.

I assume he just meant eliminated. He could get DQ'd for being too good. His family would get a monopoly on fruit stands because of all the GSL money he's winning.

I guess it'd be harder to justify seeding players like NaDa and Boxer who didn't participate in the GSL1, though. It's an open tournament. This is so people still have a chance against seeded players. As you can see from people like Flint making it in, this can be interesting. Also it's more fun for people who want a chance at the Ro64 (Tasteless, etc)
