Poor FruitDealer, I think this'll be the end of his run at Code S. | ||

I feel so sorry for Leenock, kid has absolutely insane potential, just needs to get better luck with his draws. Getting a 2 time finalist and a champion in a group together must be stressful. | ||

It is generally deemed more fun if high level players don't fall off straight away, if the best players meet eachother in the last stages of tournaments it provides the most fun, hence the reason for seeding. A big reason for this is that the outcome of a game is not simply skill alone. Luck plays a big role if you like it or not. In GSL this can especially be seen in the first group phase, a great player (MVP) only has to face one player who is better then him that day (July) and he is already out of the tournament and has to play up/down matches after he dominated the previous system. Comparing this to sports it's like saying Federer should play qualifiers for the next grand slam after losing the first round in one, it's completely rediculous. On the other hand the system is too protective for players who have never been really good but just get by a little bit. The guy who made the GSL system is simply completely oblivious to what makes a good system. Everyone wants to be seeing the top players meet eachother in the last stages of the GSL, this system simply does not support that.. lol? ye lets remove all players who beat MKP, MVP or NesTea from the tournament so we make sure they never ever loose? If this was the case we would still saw MKP running with marines only and NesTea being able to defend 99.9% of attacks. Game is too young to favor any of current Champions. MC is the best example of player who is most likely will be SC2 legend. His play has authority and he DID learn how to not die to random stuff(not getting carried away with whatever build hes doing). GSL is AMAZING! | ||

GSL tournament setup atm is just completely retarded. There should definately be some more seeding to avoid random knockouts of good players. It is already stupid that both finalists of the previous GSL have to play up and down matches, who should play up and down from the code S players should really be determined by results in the previous two GSL's or even three. Ie. If you reach final your safe for the next 2 GSL's. Even then if that is not used there should at least be a seeded placement for the up and down groups. Nestea and MKP, the 2 players with the best overall GSL results, in the same group? That is just retarded, the chance of one of them getting knocked out is fairly decent now as Leenock is quite a fine player who nearly beat MKP in previous GSLs already. They should have just paired the best GSL players from code S to the worst in the up down matches, ie MVP with Polt, MKP with Hyperdub or something like that. Random knockouts of good players?? You need to go at very best 1-4 to get knocked out of Code S during your gsl run. At least 1 of those has to be another player from the up/down or Code A How is that worthy of Code S? The 4th place players who get knocked down will be going minimum 0-3. People keep saying "oh they should be best of 3s anything can happen in a BO1!" But the fact is you are losing 3 times in a row pretty much to get knocked down. The simple fact is that we had A LOT of upsets and some old faces showing vastly improved skill (SanZenith, July as the prime examples). If you play bad enough where you are 1-4, you don't deserve your Code S this season that's all there is to it. | ||

I'm not betting on Leenock, HuK or anyone else in those groups as lost causes. Upsets can happen and it has been proven this season. If anything this is the best time to make an upset as the longer GSL is going through, the better the overall skill is going to be for newcomers to join into code S. | ||
