Here we go again. This weekend is about good games and good fun. Don't rain on that parade. Play nice guys. Here's the very standard and friendly: - NO Balance Whine. - NO Player Bashing. - NO Caster Bashing. - NO BM whatsoever. Breaking these rules (from pg 166 forward) will be met with severe punishment. | ||

From what I gather, Nani paused without requesting because it was the wrong map? Then he looked up Nestea's build order and cannon rushed? At least that's what the korean community is telling me. Naniwa went Forge FE on Shakuras (standard PvZ opener). He scouted Nestea, and after his probe arrived, Nestea then went hatch first. Naniwa did a small cannon rush on the hatch first play from Nestea using his Forge FE opener. It doesn't matter in the slightest whether he looked up Nestea's build or not, because there was nothing dodgy about what Naniwa did, and naniwa only cannon rushed because he scouted with a probe that Nestea had gone hatch first. Whether Nestea did it in game 1 or not doesn't matter, because Naniwa saw him do it using his scouting probe. Naniwa knew what build Nestea did because he had a probe in his base scouting it. | ||

Edit: The top player that dosen't have a Code S spot already, and also if HuK, MC or NesTea gets top 3 does that mean that they don't have to play in Code A? | ||

Aren't there now two available Code S seeds for GSL according to the new format? Does that mean that 2 people will be getting Code S spots from MLG? | ||

So it is possible to come from the Open Bracket and rank high, and from there they can build their point rank and get their own seeds. What would be actually good is a reset on the finals, and making it a Bo5, for good measure. Your argument is flawed big time. Naniwa came out of the open bracket in the first event. And he came out of the open bracket before any Korean or basically any Europeans came over. Look at the player pool when Naniwa came out of the Open Bracket. And many players don't come back because going through the Open Bracket doesn't yield a pool spot and because you can't justify the travel costs to prize pool. This is why Thorzain never came back. | ||
