Why should Rain be out? He tied one of the finalists 1-1 in his group and was really close to winning 2-0

The thing is that the finalist is the protoss version of Rain.

The whole GSL system is just atrocious to be honest. Just have code A finalists automatically place code S and have less up and down groups or something.

Either way Huk is most likely out, sad for him and liquid but I don't think he is even close to code S material. I don't foresee alot of succes for jinro either, he'll have a good chance to stay code S but the strength of the upcoming code S seems to high for him imo.

Honestly I think liquid is better off doing like Idra and just focussing on NA/EU tournaments. Much more chance to make good money. GSL is just having awful payouts for how hard it is, any foreigner getting to the finals is just not going to happen and not getting there has low payoffs.


This happened with Liveforever and san, and you all know how san performed in the following season....
The system works fine, the prize money for winning Code A isn't very large but being able to choose their groups is HUGE

I'm really pissed about the MMA MKP HuK group. MMA and MKP are both Code S guys in my opinion (although I didn't watch any MMA series' in Code A). If MKP doesn't make it to Code S I'm gonna be pretty mad. If MMA doesn't make it to Code S I'm gonna be a liitte mad and if HuK doesn't make it... I'm gonna be pretty mad.

Not good.
Apologize.

Should be "easy" group for MC and Jinro. Gotta say Good bye to HuK though.

I will note that whenever MKP plays Huk on ladder he does some kind of cheesy all in.

This must be to: a) hide his true strategy b) conceal his fear of Huk c)possibly both.


Have you seen any of his matches? That's just the way he plays. Not to put him down or anything, I love MKP, but he's not exactly a macro oriented player.

He's not a macro orientated player, but neither is Huk really. MKP does have some of the best macro in code S when he does play macro games, in a long game he would almost certainly out-macro Huk. His only big weakness is he sometimes makes bad decisions with his composition, particularly when he stays with MMM for way too long, which isn't such a big problem against Toss because if you mix in some ghosts and vikings you have a very strong late-game composition.


I know he can macro when he wants to. All I meant was it's normal for MKP to play aggressive and therefore it doesn't make sense to interpret that as him being afraid of HuK.

Comon Jinro and Huk stay in code S. Huks got a tough game but I think he can pull it off.

Did you actually watch his play instead of looking at the results?

Looks like HongUn and Huk are going out.

I'd love to see Bomber tearing it up in Code S, he has shown that he is a a really top tier player. I think he could win a GSL.

Thing is, Rain cheesed his way almost through the entire GSL season 3.

Inca played mostly standard in the group stages and versus Virus and cleaned up. He only really cheesed against Nada. Inca also has proven himself to be pretty darn strong in PvP. Rain has shown us that when he goes into a macro game he falls apart - when Inca's cheese in game 3 versus Nada failed, he transitioned into a unique build of chargelots, sentries and HTs to stay alive and still win. Inca is much more stable than Rain.

Sadly, HuK is probably back down to Code A.

this is nothing like that. that MSL group is like Nestea/MVP/MC and a solid 4th being in a Code S RO32 group.

this is just a foreigner getting 1 shot to stay in code S but whoever he faces will be a very solid player. anything can happen in a series, and definitely anything can happen in a single game.

God, HuK is soooo dead

Wish you GL, bro. Maybe you can pull an upset here.
