Well you need to watch the games to see that JYP wasn't playing to his usual standard seriously. JYP played some awesome games in code A to take out DRG and many other zergs, with very interesting army compositions and multipronged harass. He just didn't look like himself while playing against dimaga, going to standard colossus build every game. Nothing about jetlag or whatever, players don't always tend to play to their best all the time. Dimaga was just better on the 1st day, fact. | ||

I bet JYP was just about getting ready for mid-day tea time, and then BAM! Gotta play Starcraft. You can't expect someone to play well in that state. | ||

Well that's what you get with group play. And I'd argue that group play in general is the best way to make the better players get through, as at least here no one gets knocked out by losing one Bo3. Sure it's not completely fair, as groups aren't equally good and someone who goes 1-2 in one group may not advance while someone else who goes 1-2 does. But unless you do a round robin between every single participant in every round of the tournament, complete fairness is impossible. | ||
