losira has to win and so does mc, for there to be a 3waytie.
only chance for mc to get to code s

He walled off at the choke of all of his bases, had like 2 gateway units out and a void ray/phoenix.. Tell us what MC did that game that was so much greedier than a normal standard Forge FE into Stargate. | ||

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%). I am not going to pretend that the whole GOM Format is as I would like it to be. But if you lose two games in a row in Code S, and then cannot finish top2 in a 5player round robin, you probably deserve to go down. The possibility of abuse in the later games of the Up&Down is of course a real threat. But if you are in a position where you have to rely on other players results, at that point you have already lost 2 Code S and at least 2 Up&Down games. I think if MC goes down today, it is simply deseved. | ||

The really funny thing is that when MVP dropped to code a, Code S was still over 50% terran. That number has only grown since. A terran that complains about balance at the moment is just delusional. | ||

The reason MVP dropped down to code A was due to his TvP. That matchup changed after KA removal, Phoenix buff, Warp gate nerf, Ghost change. And you are making it sound like MVP did it on his own when the whole Terran race as a whole has been doing progressively better vP as a whole. That GSL when MVP dropped, i think TvP was 30 percent. This/ Last GSL, its 65 percent or so. So yea MVP didn't solve his TvP and climbed back on his own. The trend just changed. Exactly. So many people don't realize that MVP had really weak TvP, much worse than Nestea's ZvT, but got really fortunate with the game changes and shifts in racial strength. I've always felt like the stars aligned for him recently. | ||

(The latter, IMHO) We used to moan and whine about players like Byun staying in Code S in the old format and how so many good players in Code A aren't given the chance in Code S despite being "better", but we must be prepared to face the losses of some formerly top players like MC and previously MVP and MarineKing, among others, in whatever format. Even BW Bonjwas had their tough times, and if you are a true fan of the player and the game, you will be a fan through thick and thin. Not saying this format is perfect, but neither was MC's play today. well said, I will keep cheering for MC, no matter if he loses allot or wins another GSL. on the other hand I would prefer a bo3 round robin format allot better. There is a lot at stack and to decide that with a bo1 is a bit sour I guess. | ||
