Oh wow, Leenock is actually going to be in Code S. Never thought it would actually happen.

Leenock can make it into Code S with a path of terrans in front of him, yet DongRaeGu couldn't, and had to use a MLG seed (where he lost to KR terrans each time) to get his.

Leenock might have the best ZvT up with NesTeaa

I feel the best ZvT belongs to leenock right now, disregarding the series played against mkp =/. Nestea looks shaky at times but is steal a beast.

Amazing, even if long, air TvT are sometime boring, this one was crazy. Seeker missiles that hit, tech switches from/to bio/mech/air...crazy, with a silly ending sadly.


Leenock vs Yoda was the other game of the night. I said Leenock would have probably lost this some months ago, even perhaps one month ago when he crushed terrans but had problems in the very long game. He played this one perfectly.

I'm so happy for Leenock, I feel like I've been waiting for this day since he got knocked out, when Zerg went through tough times and he dropped out of code A I still always felt like Leenock in code S was an inevitability and now he's back.

Grats to Leenock he definitely deserves an opportunity to play in Code S.

And grats to supernova, he was one of the guys I didn't think would make it out of this group for sure, but he proved me wrong by not only advancing but doing so in a 3-0.

Out of this group.

Leenock gets his strongest matchup x3, and Alicia honestly doesn't have strong PvZ. The one series he beat Leenock in, Alicia didn't actually look very good. Leenock definitely has his best chance yet of making code S.

Byun and Supernova are the 2 other strong contenders for a code S spot.

Yoda I'll be honest doesn't seem quite up to the same level.

Alicia in his current state I don't think could beat any of the terrans. Definitely could play spoiler and knock out Leenock though.


I didn't realize Byun was slumping that hard, but my picks were quite solid =). Very glad to see leenock in code S though :D

I'm surprised but not completely shocked that Byun is looking this weak. His run in the last GSL was legitimate but there was little indication that it was coming.

I'm glad supernova is going back to his prior form when he demolished everyone in code A on his way to the finals against Losira. I had lost faith in him due to poor/unimpressive performances in code S.

Does anyone have the impression that getting into the up and downs as a code a player and getting at least 3rd place in them is a greater feat than getting first non-code s spot in an mlg. Don't get me wrong DRG is a great player, but it seems like what he did in order to get into S was nothing compared to this.
In his encounters with Koreans he beat Nada (S), Hero (B) in a close 4-3, while losing to CoCa, Bomber and Trickster.
losing in ro16 code a and going 2-3 vs Koreans in a foreign tournament ... >.<

Yes. Winning in Code A and making it to Up/Down playing vs good Code A's + Code S's is a bigger accomplishment. Leenock won his way back to Code S with pure skill.

DRG meanwhile had the cheap way out by competing in MLG and got the hand-me-down Code S spot while only competing vs a few Koreans. The MLG Korean exchange system is a way for GomTV to get the fan favorites back to Code S as opposed to a fair competitive system.

Congrats to Leenock and hopefully he matures into a champion. He still has some work to do in terms of staying motivated and consistent.

Leenock is my favorite Starcraft II player. I'm so glad he's back in Code S. It really takes a lot of mental power to overcome the horrible luck he's had with some of his groups. Here's hoping he makes it far next season! His play tonight surely suggested that he's capable of it.

Too bad for Alicia -- hopefully he doesn't get a Mirror vs HerO/Sage in Code A next season. Sucks to see Byun go down, but good for Leenock!

Then again, there is more incentive for korean players to play at MLG, and once more do, MLG will be harder, successfully helping the foreign scene and/or making SC2 more global.

Alicia would actually be in a good spot if he draws Sage in the first round of Code A.

Sage is an intelligent player, but his PvP has never been that great. His unit control is terrible, and he likes to randomly expand and die when he doesn't choose to pull cheese out of his hat for the match-up. I'm actually surprised he beat out Ace to get into Code A. Gosu cannon-rushing skills, I guess.
