Correct, but I'm laughing harder at the fact everyone is all talking about such as non issue.

Who gives a flying fuck, good matches.

Ok, so Jinro and Idra will obviously advance from the next group stage, but I havn't found the seeds and placements, but I would guess each #1 will face a #2, is it A1-B2, B1-C2 etc, or A1-B2, B1-A1?
Awesome work Jinro!

Too bad the media don't censor the public then :p Australian media is just terrible on all accounts really...

find an alternate way of saying fxxxed up? all i can think of is "messed up", or maybe "terriably played"
|
The hell are you all talking about, a little swear word, OH HELL NO THEY WILL BURN SWEDISH FLAGS!
Christ, does it really matter that much? Forget about that and think about how we all just saw some of the most amazing games in GSL history. And the fact that the group play coming up will be absolutely insane.

Not true its sensored before the watershed (9pm or depending on the channel) after that anything goes though some channels in the UK do dub swear words in films but thats more so that they can show it at any time without having to change it. If you break this too many times the channel will get fined and the show can be taken off air.

Who gives a fucking shit about swearing? Come the fuck on. Focus on the games - which btw was awesome today! Major congrats to both players.

It's always A vs B and C vs D then W vs L.
Groupstage winners will be seeded into A and C spot of each group and runner ups in B and D.
Matchups have already been revealed and Jinro will play runnerup of group G which is MarineKingPrime.WE

Not all TV and radio is censored in Aus, JJJ for instance (a radio station) never censors and it's one of the bigger stations Australia wide

This one is pretty spot on as well:

I'm wondering about ro8 not the group stage of ro16
|
Limiting code S to 32 players was actualy a good move from gom (at first, it should have been 64 best in code S and next 32 in code A)
Code S tournament is sick, some flukes in ro32 but the ro16 is incredibly stacked. And as people fight to stay in code S, up in code S, stay in code A or up in code A, the playing level will increase bit by bit. I mean, for instance ensnare and check in code A (I doubt they'll lose their up and down matches, but it's an exemple :p) would be sick for the games.

Wow... Ret is the only one Idra practiced with, I guess all that trash talk vs Koreans is starting to bite him in the ass. =/ Won't be a problem once the EG house gets set up. Those guys are every bit as good as the Koreans LOL. No. They really aren't. It's just mindblowing. Makes me wonder how much EG has to fail (as a team, so not only clinging to Idra's individual success) for people to get off hyping their roster which is sub-par even by American standards. =/ Unless they buy a whole new roster, the house in Korea won't do much good. That's maybe a bit bold statement. It's however clear that idra is byfar their best player, saying they are subpar or worse than koreans however... I think Code A is making it quite clear, there's plenty of room for foreigners in there, and the best in code S.
Same, I don't see how people can say things like this when InControl can beat Ret and was it Strifecro? in some games Artosis casted, and I think that Idra had said on SotG that InC was crushing people on ladder pretty easily. Then you've got Machine who has had good results recently and Inka who at the last MLG was able to come back from a 0-2 loss to Fenix to win a Bo7. I wouldn't say they have quite the lineup of TL but to say they aren't on similar level to the koreans is absurd. I'd say it's quite evident in just these games that foreigners can clearly compete at this level, Idra and Jinro played intelligent and nearly flawless games today, you could ask them if they thought they were leaps and bounds better than other foreigners and I think they disagree...at least Jinro would lulz.
Anyways such great games so happy both foreigners made it through, really happy for Idra especially with the map pool ^^

However, could you just accept the difference? It would solve the problem immediately.

Seems like all the best players got through so props to the format and now some great games to look forward to :D

People bragging about how cool that they are very used to hearing swear words in public/TV are as lame/annoying as people who are overly sensitive about swearing.
Drop it.
|
So happy both Jinro and Idra made it through. SO HAPPY
What an epic day. Closest group, highest quality players, best individual games. Just baller.
I have no doubt Ensnare and Check will both recover and end up staying in Code S. They both deserve it after this excellent performance.
