Doesn't that prove that the new format works. Given that after 2 seasons of the new up and down format, there's only 1 scrub left in code S? (ensare) | ||

They should just give higher seeds to semifinalist and quarterfinalist in last tournament. Everyone should have a chance to win the whole thing in every tournament, just starting from different levels of bracket. | ||

The poor TL-mods who probably secretly wish for an all-out balanced game the most, so they can stop mass-banning people aside....I agree that the officials at GOM will definitely also get annoyed by the overrepresentation of one race, that makes for a worse viewer-experience. I mean, even many terran players around here would agree that watching only TvT can get really exhausting. I'm P and watching too many PvPs in a row drives me crazy. This game could be chess but TL LR threads would still winge about imbalance because the white pieces are too shiny | ||

Either you get persistent scrubs, or you get a constant influx+outflow of scrubs. You can't have neither. | ||

And it keeps the Code S and Code A varied every season. The new format makes it easier to stay in and harder to get in, because the third place finisher in the group retains his status, while only the fourth place drops. I liked the old format because there was more rotation, which kept things interesting. | ||

In the old format, your fate was entirely in your own hands. This is one reason is don't like round-robins. It's the best format so far . No more luck of the draw screwing great players like Leenock ending up playing a player like MVP while in the other corner b-teamers like Kyrix and Ensnare face up each other and one of them ends up in code s . Like i said this format separates the weak from the strong . | ||

I dunno't know any better TvZ than him, sC and MKP were at this level some times ago but not anymore. I think GanZI and PuMa have a better TvZ as well. Jjakji's control is very good, amongst the best but he lacks in multi-tasking and doesn't read the game as well as some others do. With more practice against top-of-the-line Zergs he'll become mightily scary though. | ||
