Like : [7] OgsTheWind (in the same color he is playing) has anything to do with rank? or how high they are sitted? thanks It's the clock position on the map of their starting locations  Kinda weird that most people don't know that. | ||

That's another way to interpretet that yes. The same thing can be said with the colors in their names as that also can show who is who and which locations they are. There are several indicators for that  But I guess it's just done like that to avoid any confusion. | ||

I was expressing that generally if u think a bit through u could see there's a color to each name and on the map and there's a number assigned to each player. It should spring in mind that it might be related to the player's location on the map although it's a bit double sided to express it that way. That was just logical to think but I understand not everyone will get this so I get your point. | ||

It would make much more sense having a point system were players gets their points doubled for every subsequent round they play in. Plus, not giving any points for those who got knocked out in the later stages of qualifies is just negligent, now how will they break all the inevitable ties? Ro 64: 299 * 1,17 = 350 Ro 32: 350 * 2,00 = 699 Ro 16: 699 * 2,15 = 1500 Ro 8: 1500 * 1,67 = 2500 Ro 4: 2500 * 1,60 = 4000 Ro 2: 4000 * 1,75 = 7000 Ro 1: 7000 Round of 32 players are clearly discriminated. | ||

Actually, look again, Ro32 players are being helped here! This system actualy prevents alot of ties in it's self when considering only the players who actually have a chance of making Code-S. The whole point of Ro16 being 699 rather than 700 is so that making it to Ro32 twice is better than making it to the Ro16 once. Think of a few examples of what could happen, and you'll see that this bracket is all about leaveraging the most broadcasted players, as well as the best underdogs. The most important factor to look at here, is that Ro8 is the threshold for guarenteeing that you make code s (1500). What's interesting, is that getting Ro16 twice still does not get you to 1500, so you have no guarentee to make it to code-S without a Ro8 unless you qualify for all 3 tournements. However, if you can make Ro16 at least once and qualify another time, then you still have a chance to make it, where your chances depend on the same players appearing in the Ro8, and a larger variaity of players taking spots in Ro16,32,a dn 64. (IdrA is already guarenteed to qualify in this fashion, and likely more will in S3, due to the blow-out nature of S2) TL;DR: When you look at GSL's point distribution, you can see how they balance the factors of "repeatable, but not amazing", "one time powerhouse", and "one time decent performance" by looking at he permeutations of 3 of Ro64, 32, and 16. | ||

It'll be interesting to see how it turns out in the end, especially with oGs and Prime.WE not doing as well in this tournament and fOu doing well. I've also been keeping everything up to date in the OP and my spreadsheet. Since the tournament has started, TSL_Clide, and oGSHypderdub have both clinched Code S spots and a number of players have been eliminated from contention for Code S wildcard spots. cOreZenith is the only player eliminated so far who had a decent shot at clinching Code S. Check out the OP for an overview of what each player needs to do. | ||

For exemple, if he gets to Ro8 he will get 1500 points, will him get S-class? | ||
