You are just taking an anomaly (gosu MC) and using him as your main argument. And who are these 'players like MC' you keep mentioning? Afaik, MC is the only Protoss to win a GSL (twice) Answer me this: If PvP is just a coinflip, what does MC being the best Protoss have to do with anything? After all, that shouldn't matter in a matchup that is determined by luck and not skill. Also, what does winning a GSL have to do with a matchup not being random? Oh, one more thing. Naniwa: 64.24% Huk: 66.30% (internationally, I believe it's in the 30's in Korea albeit with a small sample size) Inca: 80% Satisfied? Maybe, instead of calling it a coin flip, you could just admit that it isn't your cup of tea? | ||

I think he prefers to end games early still, to be honest, but there's nothing wrong with that. You can't expect every player to love long games, especially if Rain's strategy coming into the tournament was to play shorter, quicker games to preserve stamina. | ||

A few hiccups along the way, but not bad. The only real players in danger of possibly falling out of pool play is Machine, Drewbie, and Sheth. Possibly Moonan. That depends on whether or not Rain is going to keep coming to events. And that's considering Rain, WhiteRa, and ONEWCB getting Top 6, As well as Tyler finishing approx 2 rounds ahead of those above mentioned players being in danger. | ||

Machine and Drewbie dropping out wouldn't really be a lose. They show occasionally good games, but mostly they get rolled. | ||

You still need huge results for any of them to fall out though. Tyler would have to win about one more game or so to pass them. Plus Rain actually coming back with his top 6 performance. For Sheth to fall out he would have to have WhiteRa or WBC get top 6 and him lose his next two matches (seeding match). The only way Moonan could fall out is if Sheth goes a round further than him and all the above happens... or WhiteRa, Rain, and WBC get top 4 and Moonan loses out. Socke could fall out only if Moonan finishes about 2 spots ahead of him and all the following for Moonan to lose out above happens also. This is assuming Ganzi doesn't come back, as well as the invited Koreans (I don't think they are actually able to come back though I'm not sure.) This means the following are SAFE. 1 Naniwa 2 idra 3 Slush 4 Kiwikaki 5 Select 6 Ret 7 Incontrol 8 Haypro 9 TLO 10 Huk 11 Sjow Miracle to be in danger 12. Socke 13. Moonan 14. Sheth In extreme danger 15. Drewbie 16. Machine Looking good to take a spot 17. Tyler 18. Rain Miracle to take a spot 19. WhiteRa 20. ONEwbc | ||

I've beaten all of them before and even in events (cruncher at nasl) but today they got the best of me. Tomorrow I play more and will do my best. The next tourney I will do the same. You wanna hate me for that go ahead. Cya at Raleigh /sigh, keep feeding the trolls ... | ||

The only one I saw was Marine Tank Banshee vs Oz. | ||

Since he's living in NYC now, I imagine it's safe to assume he'll return. Since Drewbie can, at best, get 25th place for 90 rank points, Rain is assuredly higher. He's at minimum tied with Machine. Tyler wins 1 then there's a good chance he's back into Pools. If he wins 2, he's into Pools next time. So Tyler fans need him to beat Cruncher & Haypro. | ||

Winners go to top bracket. | ||
