EPTI think July just sandbagged this match. He has already stated that he doesn't care about winning the Code A tournament. He has done enough to get into the Up and Down matches and probably doesn't want to reveal too much of his ZvT.

psychology plays a huge part and is probably the whole difference between playing like a pro and making stupid careless errors like a platinum player on ladder. | ||

The code A winner gets the same as a code S Ro32 loser. That's just silly. The prize for winning code A should be enticing at least, say $10,000 us dollars. That's still way below code S prize, but high enough that code A guys will fight hard to get it. As it is now, you may as well say they get nothing for winning code A, so why would they fight hard? Most likely why all the code A games kinda failed last night. | ||

And having that much money for overcoming such low level players (for the most part) seems kinda stupid. Anyways Moon I am disappoint Hope he was just playing that way because he was facing Lyn and he can show us better games in the up and down matches ^^ | ||

As it is now, you may as well say they get nothing for winning code A, so why would they fight hard? Most likely why all the code A games kinda failed last night. So everyone complains that Code A is soooo awful compared to most of Code S. Then we suggest giving the winner of Code A as much money as for getting to like the semis of Code S? >__< The incentive for winning Code A is a pretty big one really, picking your own matches is an absolutely giant advantage for the promotion/demotion series. If you win through that you double your money and get the big reward, Code S. The winner of Code A is likely to fit into that Ro32 loser bracket skillwise, particularly when things start to balance out. I don't really have much of an issue with being part of Code S rewarding you as much as winning in the division below. | ||

There is no way a professional gamer like July would fail at something so simple. He showed incredible ZvT in GSL 3, and to play so horribly this time? I think July just sandbagged this match. He has already stated that he doesn't care about winning the Code A tournament. He has done enough to get into the Up and Down matches and probably doesn't want to reveal too much of his ZvT. Yeah, I'm starting to think that as well. There were lots of points where I felt like he was throwing away units and playing around with banneling drops. | ||

I checked the calendar, didn't see anything about it. A vs S is there but nothing about qual or "code B" if that's even a thing. | ||

Lyn played solid and that 1-marine-medivac-micro was actually sick. I really enjoyed those games, don't know why they criticise the players all the time for stuff like preemptive auto turrets. | ||
