But they started later and are pretty much always behind on the metagame and/or hybrid players (in the case of Infi, for instance). They're definitely not as bad as most people think they are. | ||

Too bad it was BO1, I don't like either, it narrow downs the chances to win for good players that tend to mess up. Maybe Idra could have recovered from his matches ? I'm not sure. WCG had this format for years so that's the players fault & besides, aprox 80% of the GSL matches are defined by the winner of the first match. Anyway KiLLeR would have passed, he's a freaking monster lately, ever since ESL Cologne were he went down in the groupstages by 0-3 but being the only one that took a game out of MC (besides PUMA who won the tournament) and beating the corean Killer on stage by 2-1 he has been on fire. Getting into NewYork IEM and into KIEV OWNING everybody at the qualifiers... He still mess up from time to time but he just needs to focus and take this shit even more seriously. I'm so eager to watch his game vs mvp. Go chile! I bet on TiTan and KiLLeR to go through. Lucky me :D | ||

Few months ago,leenock is a Code A material,and now you see... Lyn is nowhere near Code S level, sorry. I am totally gay for him and his BM control, but the most I can say about Lyn's SC2 is that maybe he's Code A level. I don't even know if I'd put Lyn above Moon right now in SC2, and Moon's also at best Code A level. Until they both sit down and actually decide to practice SC2 exclusively (which from what I hear neither of them want to do), then I don't ever see them breaking into Code S. (EDIT: Okay, admittedly they're both better than Soccer, IMO, so I guess you can consider them low Code A.) Leenock was always Code S level; just got unlucky with brackets. Don't get me wrong, XiGua is good and definitely not as bad as people think he is -- but people are hyping him up way too much after bo1 groupstages against not-very-stellar opponents. | ||

I don't understand how can Elfi be an upset having sen, socke, moonglade & f91 on the same group. I was absolutely sure that F91 would go through (Chinese are sick when they train too much inside their bubble after losing a big tournament) and that the other one would be Sen or Moonglade, but elfi ?? he's not that consistent. And TiTan played like a boss at Dreamhack groupstage were there were only zergs and protoss, and at the second groupstage he got eliminated because of matches played (BO3 fucked him up). I was absoultely sure that he could beat IdrA. People crying like babies bcz IdrA lost and honestly I was expecting it, maybe he could have turned the game around, but that only happens on a 20% of the times aprox. He did well on MLG so everybody loves him, but everybody forgets other tournaments were he usually messes up. He's awesome, but sometimes he just lose out of nowhere. | ||

elfi isn't on the same level as Idra and Sen, him not passing groups does not surprise me at all. Especially considering that group A was probably the hardest overall group. Makes sense for even Sen to have a tough time in there. Idra has absolutely no excuse though. | ||

Most group formats are best of 1s... GSL, MLG, Dreamhack etc. There's like 50 players in the tournament, if they all played best of 3s through the group stage the tournament would take a week. Each group plays at least 21 matches (more if tiebreakers), there's 8 groups, that would be 168 best of 3s to do in 2 days in a tournament/venue where there's also many other games being played and the budget for SC2 is clearly not very high (shit stream quality etc). Here's a thought, Idra and Sen didn't qualify because they didn't play well that day or they were stupidly stubborn and tried to play too greedy in a best of 1 format (probably the case for Idra as usual lol)? | ||
