Ew, PvP hell for Huk. Good luck my pillow-wielding friend. Apart from that, I think the groups are for the most part at least interesting. There should be some good games here, only group B is a total washout.

Then we'll get an inglorious repeat of the GSL2 finals.

Boxer will need to improve is TvZ if he wants a chance to stay in codeS. I would be really sad to see him in the up and down , but it really looks possible :'( .

Don't underestimate The Game Genie Terran


This lol. Alot of people think lowly of Mvp now for dropping 2 games. He still has THE best win/loss record in GSL (at least i think he does).


It's the fact that he is playing vs protoss, not that people don't rate him.

No. If you went 0-2(or 0-3) you are placed fourth in your group which means you only get one chance.


Thanks, but then why is MKP "4th" but Inca "3rd" even though they both went 1-2?


MKP lost to Inca, making him fourth of their group!


edit: someone beat me to it

You think SuperNova and Losira picked the wrong people? I'm amazed you think that or you are misunderstanding that every code A player picks their players in their up and down matches.

Can someone explain to me how up/down matches work? Does this mean Huk still has a chance?

About 90% of the players: If someone before the GSL3 started had told me that these would be in the up/down matches I would have called him crazy!

When I look at the list of players I almost confuse myself to think that this is the code S tournament. MKP, MVP, Genius, FD, Nesta, and Huk.

This is so retarded. MKP, leenock and nestea in one group while an other group is supernova, polt & the best.

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.


Say whaaat??? Do you even follow the GSL and its seedings?

Nestea and MKP preformed badly and have no one but themselves to blame. MvP had a pretty tough group, but because of the seedings. He still lost to a Code A Ro8 player! If any conclusions can be drawn from the current GSL (where 6 of the top 8 is from Up & Down matches), then it is that past achievements is greatly overrated in terms of future performance. This game is too young to have "bonjwas".

Up and coming players are already have a very hard time getting into the top tourneys because of the many invite slots to each event. Please don't encourage more MLG-like structures.

It's hardly possible to have more seeding than GSL already do. Stronger seedings fore Code S players would only be given because of sentimental attachment, not skill. If you are a good enough player, you should be able to qualify for a tournament by your on strength.

Lozhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiraaaa!! It's so awesome when you root for someone from the very beginning and he ends up winning the whole thing. Let's hope he pwns code S after he does nasty things to BannyBanny and RainbowBoi

Sucks for Leenock and Huk. Pretty tough draw.

There's so many good Code S players in the up/downs this season (MKP, NesTea, MVP, Genius, FD, Rainbow, Choya) that I don't see many Code A'ers getting out.
