What happened is that from a Korean prespective a new player in GSL faced a former RO32 and the new player won. TLO or not he cant just show his ID and get an auto win so better sit down and do your best or someone might show up pulling the rug under your feet...thats basically what happened on this situation. Best of luck for TLO for Season 3 hopefully he'll perfomr better then. | ||

As a new fan to pro gaming, I've been thoroughly enthralled by the entertainment value in SC2. And especially entertained by the creative and obviously talented players. After watching this round 64 live on GOMtv (for the first time ever), and seeing several mediocre players advance, I am disgusted that somehow the tournament designers managed to put two players that are clearly and obviously massively superior in skill to their round 64 counterparts against each other in a preliminary round, forcing an elimination. This is the equivalent of having an NFL Quarterback Tournament, by which the winner is decided by elimination in 1v1, and in the very first round Peyton Manning is pitted against Drew Brees, while every other match-up involves a 2nd string nobody. The outcome of this "GSL" now seems as much decided by pure luck as it is by actual skill. How can a tournament that forces the elimination of top players in the preliminaries be seen as credible whatsoever at all? I didn't feel as if "the best player won" today, as I would hope to feel. I am a fan of both players, and I felt disgusted and cheated of the pleasure of watching one of my favorite stars play again in the tournament. The TLO vs. SangHo game should have been either in the final of the tournament, best out of 7, or at a minimum the Round of 8. This needs to be fixed before pro 1v1 gaming becomes a joke. I'm sure a new system can be devised that pits players of appropriate skill at appropriate times in a tournament against each other. P.S. The Rankings by GSL are pathetic. TLO = a "private", and a fake "Boxer" is now going to be a "Sergent" or something? That's like calling Babe Ruth a "little leaguer" and telling a bench warmer that he's "MVP" because the refs didn't know how to set up a fair game. P.P.S. And yes, I'm very pissed right now, so apologies if any of this seems like "hating", but it's also important, because this is the "new guys" opinion on something that seemed so cool at first, and now seems lame. In my opinion, a system where TLO, SangHo and the rest of the top players are kept from each other till later in the tournament doesn't make for a fair tournament. It would make it a joke if you were'nt considered a top player, cause they'd intentionally feed you to the best players so you'd be eliminated, while the player who draws the most moves on. It adds a feeling of illegitimacy. Good players should have to play other good players, depending on the brackets. Anything else is garbage. College Basketball is stupid for that reason, because the NCAA makes the brackets to get viewers, not get the best games. Uhh yeah, ever heard of tennis? Good, proven players should never have to play each other in initial rounds. Its up to newcomers to break into the scene. The problem with that theory is that I wouldn't say TLO is a proven player. He's obviously a fan favourite and all, but even going back to the beta his tournament track record isn't so hot. I agree totally, its far to early in SC2 to have a definitive 1-64 ranking style system. I'm just pointing out to the clown who thinks that good players should play good players that his thinking is flawed. It simply makes no sense, nobody wants to see the favourites knock each other up and then one-sided games later deeper in the competition. | ||

For your info, PhoenixWerra is one of the top zergs on korea server and plays as Kore on US server and it basically a top Zerg there as well. He is as fast as Cellawerra but has better decision making and better gamesense. He also streams on occasion and is in TL's list of streamers. He is basically one of us. TLO and SangHo did seem better but Phoenix also played a strong good games and showed us he is a good player. | ||

Terran can block up and bunker easily if they don't tech up to cloaked banshee. Not when there are back door rocks and stuff like that. You can hold it of with bunkers and repair in one choke, not when there are 2. You should just go 3 raks on maps like that or just veto them, they are horrible i think. Jungle Basin other than the rocks is a perfectly good map for TvP I think, yes It's annoying that those rocks got abused and I'm really quite annoyed that TLO went out so early. But, as with anything else, if something like that is in the map pool, people will abuse it. It sucks, but it's just the way it is sadly. Like I said in the live stream: you have to either know the new maps, or exclude them. There's no excuse for TLO not having vision at his rocks. | ||

TLO doesn't deserve to be mentioned with them if he can't do the same. Remember that FruitDealer lost his expo hatchery against NexLiveForever and came back to win it. And we don't need to mention Tester's proxy gateway defense... | ||

I knew SangHo was an ex A-team progamer. That's like the level of Tester/Cool/ITR. ... SangHo is actually way better than tester/cool, cool has never qualified from any major progamer scene such as MSL/OSL, and he barely got to play in proleague match, on the other hand Sangho has beaten Jaedong on TV | ||

I'd give PhoenixWerra the benefit of the doubt, but I also know what I saw and comon, TLO and SangHo was just a different realm of play. You could literally feel the stress in the game. Even the announcers were getting caught up in it. Every little detail was important to both players. The micro was amazing. He's really good, but I just don't think Phoenix would have stood a chance against either of them. | ||

But you cant automaticly push him in s2. There are many Ex-Bwler who are now bad. Yes you can see some potential from history but thats it. | ||
