Win and hope Check does too. He could be out in next game without playing, though.

It's not like Check had 1 supply roaches. 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.

I usually don't complain about casting, but I simply don't get why they continuously mess up with the format, and who is going through in specific scenarios. That and the lack of research before a game really bugs me out. I really hate when they can't remember how a player got to the current stage in the tournament and don't recall when they played each other last time. It is such a good way to hype a match. As in the TOP vs OPTIMUS match, it took forever until they realised that they faced each other in the super tournament semifinal in an epic BO5. It would be so easy to spend 20-30 minutes on doing some research before hand and then use that to hype matches up. There is a reason why the Korean commentators can use so much time before a match, and don't get me wrong I like tastosis small talking but I really miss some proper research a times. That goes for all the casters.

So a standard forge FE is greedy all of a sudden?

Standard? If building your forge ten miles away from your natural is standard then yeah.


should have went 4-5 gate after instead of a stargate as well, stargate is so predictable on that map

correct and check does not need to even try since he is already in code s.

No, if Jjajki wins against MC, Losira, Check and Jjakji are all 3-1, with no head-to-head winner. There will be a 3 way tiebreaker for the two spots.

Wrong. If Check loses. And Jjaki wins.

It's Check, Losira, and jjaki 3-1.

3 way tie and Check could still get 3rd.

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%).


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.

Or to fix P



like when IMMvp dropped to Code A right ? ""


funny thing is terran always get nerfed, but he earned his way back to code s, instead of waiting for his race to get buffed.

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.

MVP was in a slump and now he is back that's for sure. Full credit to him but let's stop at that and not make it sound like he fought against the odds.

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.

It doesn't. MC was gonna lose that as soon as the nydus got up, regardless of where he put his buildings, but that's not gonna stop people from bashing him.

Not as much. But it has everything to do with riskiness. You have that forge and cannons next to your base, and you have 1 sentry. That Nydus play will never work.

No losira has to lose and MC has to win so there will be 3 way 2-2 ties.

If losira win and MC lose - there will be 3 way 3-1 ties.

It's not the format's fault that MC is dropping down to Code A (if he does), it's that he either isn't good enough or isn't playing well enough today. (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.
