It promotes winning: the more you win -> the more points you have -> the more "lesser" players will you face. Yup. It's not an "unbiased" round-robin. It's biased to those that have done better. 2 wins and you're into the next round, but there's a slight advantage for being in first place. (They've also eliminated the ability to throw a game to help out a team-mate or get revenge on someone, and have made is to every single match counts, which makes for a lot more tension. The 3rd/4th place games have actually been pretty good for this reason, as there's a huge advantage for taking 3rd over 4th.) | ||

Great macro games all around (except for hyperdub vs hongun g2). Boxer played like a boss that day, same for Hyperdub in Hyperdub vs Hongun G1 | ||

It's been explained a million times. Let's just put Boxer vs MC, Jinro vs Nada, Nestea vs MarineKing, Tester vs MVP, Idra vs July, Fruitdealer vs Zenio, while having san vs Hyperdub, Anypro vs Polt and Choya vs jookTo in the round of 64 in the super tournament. That would be fair to all players right? Doesn't matter how good or bad you played in the past, everyone should be equal. Oh boy... | ||

For example, the set containing all odd numbers is considered the same size (cardinality) as the set of all integers. However, as mentioned earlier, it is correct to say that the set of all real numbers is larger than the set of all integers. The difference between the two examples is difficult to explain in layman's terms so I will not try. | ||

Anyway, I was however thoroughly impressed with July's games. Very strategically played, great decision making, and awesome to watch overall. | ||

Why not go 1 vs 4, 2 vs 3. because ranked 1-8 are 1st seed, 9-16 are 2nd seed and the rest are randomly drawn into seed 3&4 (based on the point here http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/S-class#S-Class) not 17-24 as seed 3 and 25-32 as seed 4 thats why we have ImMVP (28) and JookTo (32) as seed 3&4 in group B and and Check (18) and idRa (22) as seed 3&4 in group F so its just bad luck(?) for Nada to be drawn as 3rd seed where San got the 4th seed | ||

That works on a certain level, but when facing oGsMC, he failed miserably because MC had a much better unit composition that easily countered Nada's very basic army. And I question multiple times when he decided to engage oGsMC's army when it looked obvious judging from army size and composition that he can't take them head-on like that. Anyway, I was however thoroughly impressed with July's games. Very strategically played, great decision making, and awesome to watch overall. He's a macro player, that's what he does. Your description of Nada can be applied to Idra or Ret (except counter-attacking rather than attacking) and they're considered two of the best. His decision making is pretty good, while his first attack on MC I think was intentionally timed to wipe out all of the sentries before any Collossi arrived and it really hurt MC and likely delayed his push. MC just controlled the game. I was actually really impressed with Nada's play against Inca and Inca's first game was sick. I think if Inca improves his mechanics he could vie for one of the top Protoss spots. His build order was brilliant, and I think if he didn't attack up the ramp during the contain he might have won. | ||
