Unless Huk chokes he should make it into Code S easily. From what I have seen, his control is far superior to choya, and he can take on Inca as well.

Huk top 3 control in the world!


and top 3 spelling in the world!

he will never lose! and correct any mistakes he makes

I do find it interesting that 3 of the 4 GSL (1-3 + first S) winners are in the up-down with 6/7 finalists also being in up-down,

So... they're airing them in order and Group A (HuK) should be airing Monday morning, yes?

(I forgot how it worked for January.)

I actually picked Choyal to survive instead of IncA. Dunno why, but i got a feeling that he`ll make it. The Ogs player is super solid but he seem to have hit a wall recently.

Group B is so freaking brutal.
Poor Leenock. D:

Group E also looks rather top-notch while G seems rather weak.

so am i right in thinking that the code a and 3rd place code S basically get 2 chances to advance to code A , while 4th place code S gets 1 chance?

Yes but there is always a bit of negative momentum for the loser of the first match.

Huk with the (relative) luck of the draw. Inca's PvP is beastly, but he can take choya. It's all on him if it doesn't work out.


Poor Leenock. His chance to shine, I guess!

Hope MKP will remain code S, some say he struggles a bit against Z/P in practice .

A - Inca / Choya
B - Nestea/MKP
C - FD / ACE
D - Killer/Boxer
E - MVP / Genius
F - Top/Someone who doesn't deserve S Class
G - Supernova/Thebest
H - Losira / Rainbow

HuK hates PvP so i can see him getting cheezed out.

An easy liquibet for sure (as long as NesTea and MvP don't shock lose again!)

Also, very happy to hear Tastosis is doing the honours for the up and down matches

Our predictions are almost exactly the same but I have FD losing instead.

It's absolutley retarded that the winners of code A get to choose 2 opponents,that means that atleast 2 of the absolute worst players will always remain in Code S. I honestly cant understand how some people think.

You could have done a lot better with your first post on TL, don't you think?

The system may not be perfect but it has its advantages. The winner and runner-up of Code A deserve some special treatment or they could just as well stop at the RO8. Also, never underestimate "bad" players - take SanZenith who was considered a freewin last season and made the semis this time.

The GSL will certainly continue to evolve and improve and maybe this Code A/S system will change over time. For now it's all we've got and I think it's doing a good job, and certainly is better than other alternatives.

This is just a new acc since i changed my bnet ID. It dont matter if some bad players can suddenly turn good, its still a really stupid system. I can come up with a better alternative right now; The winners of Code A can only choose 1 opponent, this is still a very good reward ontop of the money they win.

PS: beeing condesending doesnt win you arguments.

I'm not being condescending, I'm just pointing out that describing Code A as "absolutely retarded" and judging the whole up&down system while ignoring the recent performances of so-called "bad" players isn't the best way to start a new account. Speaking of which, there's a Change My Name topic on the website feedback board.

Your idea of letting the Code A winner(s) only pick one player of their group has been brought up before - it could work, who knows. But then again, winning Code A basically means you're among the best of the bunch and pretty much deserve to be promoted to Code S. Making the final steps toward that goal manageable is just fair - in my opinion.

Both ways have pros and cons. We'll see what GOM will come up with in future seasons.
