Is Moletrap trying to say they sort of called this happening? After he was massively dismissive of both Jjakji and Check at the start of the broadcast? lol >_>

At least Doa stuck up for them a bit.

What was wrong with the format? The players went 3-1 because they deserved to. Nothing more, nothing less.

It's so hard to get into code S, but so easy to drop into code A and the only reason the format is the way it is now is just to accommodate foreigners. Bo1 is very unforgiving, too. Sure, the players who performed better won, but that doesn't mean that I can't criticize the format for what I perceive are flaws.

Nightmare scenario: What if all 5 players go 2-2?

If Code S had Up & Down format, everyone would be jumping for joy.

The days would be longer, but the more games they have to play to advance the better the odds are for the better players to come through.

Lol @ idiots saying going 3-0 in a round robin group of 5 should be good enough.

Its a group of 5 for a reason, you play FOUR games. So what if you go 3-0 to start? all that means is that you played more games FIRST.

Check, Losira, and Jjakji ALL WENT 3-1.

There is NO PROBLEM HERE. They had the identical EXACT SAME FUCKING RECORDS.

Tiebreakers weeded out the lesser of the three, and that was Check.

Jesus, chill...nobody's saying that it's unfair...

The thing is, there is no 3-0. It's 3-1. Saying he went 3-0 is like saying he went 1-0, and that doesn't even make sense.

Definately think that LosirA and jjakji looked more solid then Check and deserve the spot, but it was entertaining and he played well.

But one thing about the up-and-down format that I don't like though... your qualification fate is possibly dependent on someone else. In the old format, your fate was entirely in your own hands. This is one reason is don't like round-robins.

It CAN make sense though. Here's a 3-0:

You need to read closer at the people criticizing the format, saying Check went 3-0 and that should be good enough.

Just rediculous, its like people are illiterate. 3-1 ISNT 3-0.
