i think


If jjaki loses his next 2 matches, Check wins against Losira then it's a 2-2 tie between Losira and MC. So then Losira goes through right? :S

yes, if he loses this game, losira and check go through no matter what

No. Check beat jjaki, Losira beat Check and jjaki beat Losira. 3 way tie

Good format GOM.


1. Kyrix won't win, not with the way he's been playing
2. Check won't throw games.


Well the kyrix winning is a pretty big if, but I think the problem is similar to the one nasl had, where the games don't feel as important because some of them don't matter. Like why would Check be motivated to win if he's in already?

If Check loses vs Losira, it is possible for a triple 3-1 tie to occur, so there is still significant motivation for Check to win his match.

Only chance MC can advance is through a score like this:
4-0
2-2
2-2
2-2
0-4
At which point I assume the three 2-2 play tiebreaks.


So MC needs to hope that

Jjakji >Kyrix
Check> Losira
MC>Jjakji

That's the only way for MC to get a 2-2 tie

If this happened, Losira would advance because Losira beat MC and thus has the tiebreaker.

But JJakji also gets 2-2. He beat Losira,Losira beat MC and Mc would beat JJakji!

Edit: wait, in the event of a triple 3-1 tie, since Check already beat the others except for kyrix wouldn't he already be through?

MC can still advance if:
jiakji>kyrix
check>losira
MC>jiakji
And then MC would have to win tiebreaker matches. This BO1 format is so harsh..

What's the problem with the format?

Firstly, you have two players from Code S being removed every season. The up-down matches are way to harsh on the players, plus the format is open to abuse around game 8 (as i mentioned in my last post). Plus Code A is terrible. Code A needs to be fixed, the up-down matches need to be fixed, and less players in Code S need to be safe (atm we're losing 25% of the Code S players entering up-down, add more players in and that becomes 12.5%).


The only part of the format that I do not like are the Bo1s. Everybody should play at least Bo3s against each other. That goes the same for Code S initial brackets.

This.
Arrogance is great and often entertaining, but MC also needs to deliver.


i doubt the situation was any better with the other 17 terrans in code s who could have just 1/1/1'ed mc out of code s, he's not arrogant; he's smart, he was planning for the grand gsl event at the end of the year.

gogogo mc for mlg and code s


There's a grand GSL event? First I've ever heard.

I find the format of Up/Down ok. You just need to win 3 out of 5 to advance. Pretty fair I'd say. If you are MC, you are supposed to go 5-0. Instead he went 0-2, he deserved to be out (and stop being an arrogant smartass by picking players that would destroy you)

MVP and MKP both dropped to CodeA before. The Format is OK since last Season. #3 in the Groupstages is enough to stay in CodeS.
