You never know...MC can make a comeback. MVP did.

MVP went down to code A because he was having a lot of trouble in TvP and he had to play Genius and Alicia in the up and down but MC looks like he can't win any games.

just scrap the whole code S/code A system. With the new format I'm tired of seeing the same ppl over and over again with about 5 new faces in code S season. Change the format to a single 64 man tournament, players who make it to round 32 retains spots, losers have to go thru qualifiers next time. This would make things so much more exciting and we would get to see so many more new faces and upsets.

Wow, Byun, Code S July semi-finalist, MC, 2 time GSL winner, welcome to the most stacked Code A tournament so far.

Notably strong players:
- Sage
- Revival
- sC
- Tassadar
- Naniwa
- Sjow
- Curious

The point being that any one of these guys can win the tournament.

Nice, knew Jjakji had it in him, way to go!

MC was always in trouble with so many zergs + Jjajki. Seems a lifetime ago where he was unbeatable against zerg.

In the old format 1 code S player always stayed in code s from each up and down group though, because it was always 2 code S 1 code and and 2 spots. So the amount of rotation should be the same at the very least.

When I first read this post I was ready to argue against it but now that I think about it I think you have a good point. The best players should theoretically make at least the RO32 every time and Code A is just such a difficult and unforgiving place to be

Naniwa and Sjow? Really? I'll be surprised if they make it past round 1.

Easiest group to predict - Losira and MC easily.

It's pretty depressing if you're a pro gamer in Korea and you aren't already in Code S. Train for a month to compete for one of 12 spots for code A. Then hope to get nice matchups to get to round 8, then hope to get an easy group to get into code S. This is much harder than the old up/down format. Fail and that's another month wasted as GOMTV is the only game in town. All this while bad players like ensnare keep on getting by. There's no excitement in Code S anymore, it's the same people fighting the same people every time. This also discourages new potential blood from even trying to pick up the game professionally as it's so hard to get into code S.

You probably haven't seen Sjow's performances in MLG Raleigh. When he wins, he looks unstoppable. When he loses, it's either because of a single mistake or because of his macro failing him. Let's just say that he has really great unit control.

Naniwa, well, he's had quite a shaky run in GSTL and Code A last season, but that's simply because he himself said that he's in a rebuilding phase. When he does finish that phase, he should be in tip-top shape. Even in bad shape, he outsmarted and demolished Genius though.
