I am just not sure about what this could result into. Let's say you win now and instead of trying to improving your macro to next tournament to beat Idra in a long game, you just try to improve that hardcore timing attack or that 3 bunker rush to work in an even better way. He/other players will eventually be able to stop that and you will have nothing more to fall back to in your gameplay. I am sorry if I sounded like a Idra fanboy but I really like both of you Jinro and I just wanted to see cool long epic games  Tournaments are not the time for practice...

Anyway, there's another big chinese tournament going on at the same time as this event I think, lots of players there (I would guess Super, Macsed, LoveCD, Loner etc are all there). Duno how to explain Xigua's poor results, I think hes good normally =/ | ||

Three months ago Chinese players like XiaoT were playing great games against top players, and you could see it from the way they played their games - not just who they won against. Today they are playing like shit. Chinese players appear to be getting worse and worse as time goes on. Their scene is in serious trouble if that's the case. That said, XiGua, YHY, and Way aren't the players we saw from three months ago. It could be that they're the "new blood" that is getting pounded - rightfully - in their first international ventures. If that could lead to improvements later down the line, then it's good pounding. | ||

This is not correct. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IEM_Season_VI_-_Global_Challenge_Guangzhou The bracket will be RANDOMLY generated based on the following rules, though: 1) Group first plays group second. 2) Players from the same group won't meet until the final. This helps us avoid match fixing. Off the top of my head there are 9 different bracket options available with this rule set for playoffs. Thanks for the correction | ||

Eh, I feel like the guy traveled all the way to China.. it's kind of a big deal. At least show ONE of his series.. | ||

Even in the event he 2-0's Idra and you 2-0 Elfi that would still give Elfi the H2H advantage with both @ 4-2 map score and yourself @ 4-3? Hoping you beat Elfi whatever happens though, fighting!~ | ||
