I still think he has a good shot staying in code S. Well, I hope. The forever legend Emperor WHITING~~~~~~ >///<
You say he only needs to play one set when in reality he only GETS to play one set. Both of the other players get two attempts to make code S while Boxer only has one chance.

It's interesting however to speculate - perhaps you are both right. Assuming three players of equal skill, having two shots at qualification is naturally better than one. However, might the loss in the first match affect the loser?

The question is not whether or not the loss will affect the loser, it's how.
It definitely seems to me like Boxer has the disadvantage, only playing one match. It puts much more pressure on him.
Then again, he is not one to be crushed under pressure

Is is a bad sign if i feel the up/down matches are gonna be better then Code S this season.
No Offense to San, MC, Anypro and July but MvP, Nestea, MKP, FruitDealer, Leenock, Huk, and Boxer are hard to compare to. ? Why is it a bad sign? San, MC, Anypro, and July beat those players (except for HuK and Leenock) to get where they are now. I don't understand why everyone gives players like MvP and Nestea all this credit. Yes, they've won a GSL Final. They also got eliminated from their group in the ro32 of Code S. High caliber players should play as such. I realize that upsets happen but there's no reason to feel sorry for them. If they had played better, they'd be in the ro4 instead. Anypro is the only person to question in the ro4, just because the strength of the players he beat to get there is sort of suspect. The other 3 have eliminated top tier players or just shown incredibly solid play and they deserve to be where they are. MvP and Nestea are probably the best of their respective races in the world, as demonstrated by their track records. Anything can happen in a couple Bo1's which is why the better players don't always survive Ro32. Its your opinion ... In my opinion, ST_Bomber is a better player than MVP and I still see Fruitdealer being better than Nestea but its fanboyism in me
What kind of logic leads you to these conclusions?

So how does it work? the top 2 in each group move to code S? Yes
Not quite.
It works like this:
Code A player
vs
Code S Group Stage 3rd place
Winner placed in Code S.
Loser
vs
Code S Group Stage 4th place
Winner placed in Code S.
Loser is sent to Code A.
So the players don't have equal chances to move on.

Oh my, Group A is awful... PvP fest.
I hope they display some variety / creative play, otherwise it's gonna be a very short series.
|
I`ve watched Huk`s stream a few times and he won quite alot against Choyal. It`s too bad because Choyal seems like a nice guy. Him and Gumiho and quite friendly. I`m worried for fruitdealer, St_Virus, minus the last set he played, did very well. Our favorite Zerg seem to have neglected practice abit. He needs to stay focus.
The Up and down matches are a heartbreaking thing!

Leenock HWAITING!!!
Bring your coke can and crush some supernerds! At least if he makes it to code S we know he really deserves it...
|
i really hope slayers_boxer gets back into code S.

Well this seems to be the perfect situation for HuK. Having no champions in his group and having this rather luck based PvP increases his chances by a lot.
|
It is a little bit sad, that we are having 3 mirror groups. But at least Huk has no dead group.

Except that its all PvP and HuK is perhaps the most vocal hater of PvP (although all brotoss protest it). I bet if he was asked he's rather have been a group with a champion then deal with PvP.
|
I was really hoping to see Leenock make it to Code S but that group is perhaps the hardest group he could've matched. The only other players that could've made it any harder would have been Nestea/MVP, but MarineKing is just as bad. I feel bad for the kid 
|
What a rough deal for Leenock. I'll be rooting hard for him, he crushed Clide and he can crush those two nerds.

Wow Leenock got owned by the draw TT_TT..
Huk can't be happy about the 2 PvPs and having to play InCa either. Hopefully him and InCa just play a shit ton so that if either of them lose they'll just destroy chOya.
I'm guessing...
A: HuK / InCa (interchangable)
B: NesTea, MarineKing
C: FruitDealer, Ace
D: Killer, Zenio
E: MVP, Alicia
F: TOP, Hyperdub
G: SuperNoVa, Polt
H: LosirA, Rainbow
That's what I'm hoping too - that oGsLiquid just conspire to beat the (undeserved imo!) code S out of Choya.
