Is GOMtv still negotiating the sponsor?
That could be why the details have not been announced (scheduling etc.)

Kiwi, Huk, Tester, inControL. Only 12 Protoss in the Ro64.

Anyone know when Stork and Bisu will be switching? T_T

I've lost interest in this GSL like GSL 2. So many notable Protoss players not even making it. [insert rage here]

wow, so little protoss in the R64. I wonder if its balance problems with the race, map balance or just random thing.

Seems very strange, maybe protoss players haven't found a good and solid strategy to fall back onto?

Scrap was the cause of the mass amount of zerg players qualifying, but I want to know what other map they could have used without one race crying imba.

Sands
Temple
DQ
Steppes
Shakuras
Basin

All these maps had a "favored" race

This.

I think they genuinely tried, Xel Naga and Metal are arguably the most balanced maps and they were the first 2. The tie breaker was going to be favored for someone.

Why not just XN first map and loser picks


Koreans never do loser picks.


I think that XC-Meta-Shakuras may have been better than scrap.

or even sands or temple

Slows the process down?

What maps were used for the last season qualifiers, could it explain the lack of toss this time around?

edit: Shakuras should have been in there. For some reason forgot about it but it seems more balanced than even metal because there is less spawn variability.

Yep I'm wondering as well. His twitter seems bugged (shows stuff typed 9minutes ago for like 9 hours now). Anyway, his name is nowhere to be found on gomtv ( http://www.gomtv.net/news/272/0 or http://www.gomtv.net/news/267/0) so in case he competed I don't think he qualified.

Cheers btw, first post for me

Race distributions of all GSL Open:

Ro64 GSL3:

GSL 1 -> 2 -> 3:
33% -> 45% -> 38%
25% -> 24% -> 42%
42% -> 31% -> 19%
0% -> 0% -> 1%

I like these statistics >.>


Okay, now let's look at race distribution across all 3 seasons of GSL:
- 74 39%
- 58 30%
- 59 31% (rounded this one up)
- 1 1% (rounded this one down)

As for maps, they should just play a Bo3 exclusively on Metal.


What this statistic is missing is that we've run through a couple of patches and a lot of metagame changes in the meantime.

Though for the variety and entertainment I wished to see a more balanced bracket. I think what made GSL2 in the end a bit less entertaining was the pure TvZ matchup row. Seeing this makes me doubt that it will be any difference in this 3rd season, 1 or less P in the Ro8...

Its true that discussing balance issues at this state of the game, where it is already surprisingly well balanced excluding some minor issues, is very very hard. It could also be a leak of Protoss idols who show off strengths and weakness of a solid P play and how to use it.

Time will tell...

I refuse to believe that these are the official brackets. The odds of such pairs of players getting grouped together by random chance is... well basically incredibly small and I am PRAYING we don't see Liquid v Liquid, GSL1 Champ vs GSL2 Champ Ro64, Boxer v Foxer round 32, etc/

Come on. If there is a God, these brackets will be found to be false.

EDIT: God exists. Proof: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=169332

Look at the order of the players listed here and then check the order of the 2nd half of the listed brackets. They are identical. I doubt Gom is going to leave it like that.

This.

I think they genuinely tried, Xel Naga and Metal are arguably the most balanced maps and they were the first 2. The tie breaker was going to be favored for someone.
Then the fix would have been to throw two 'imba' maps first, and have the tie break on a fair map.

Go with something like DQ, Temple, Metalo.

But their choice might force Blizzard to update the map pool, which is good in itself.

Looking at the number of Protoss Player is horribly depressing
2:2:1 ratio !? are you serious!?
I've always thought the game was fairly balanced and I still think so but man... this is depressing. Has T and Z innovation really soared that much higher than the collective minds of Aiur!?
This is deeply disturbing to me, I would love to see something more balanced in terms of player count because to be entirely honest this makes me somewhat jaded and disinterested in S3 GSL :/

*cries* what is going on my brothers!?
