I mean yea, it happens in BW too here and there, but no where as near as often. Disagree entirely. Maybe recently in GSL, but last year you had Nestea, MVP and MC consistently up there (MC less so after spring). They rarely dropped out in the first round, and if they did, it was against each other (MC vs MVP in group play... why MC why -_-; ). Look at all the other tournaments apart from GSL. The results correlate pretty much as expected - DRG/MKP doing very well in all the ones they entered, aLive doing well in IPL4 (got to Ro4 last GSL), etc. You get the odd poor day from players who drop out early (DRG, MMA), but people point to those and try to extrapolate them to an overview of SC2. It's not SC2, it's simply that players do worse sometimes. | ||

Even if it was like... one game. lol. + Show Spoiler + But really, he's just sour that Flash lost 2 games in the recent SKT vs. KT finals, including the ace match, allowing SKT to win 4-3 FUCK YEAH. + Show Spoiler + FUCK YEAH! /skt brofist | ||

One of them will make it out of that group without a doubt, probably both. Virus and Inca are not exactly the scariest players out there. | ||

Damn SKT1 fans......... In any case I will have to watch the MMA v Leenock games. I can't believe he lost a TvZ of all matchups. Go Squirtle! | ||

No that's Korean tournament only. Korea TLPD only includes those games.

That's less than 50% of the GSL champions (counting open season/supertournament). That's actually not THAT bad. Plus unless Virus/Inca pull of some dark (templar) magic, MC and Nestea will both advance | ||

It's not SC2, it's simply that players do worse sometimes. Errr, last year, MC, MVP, and Nestea, definitely dropped out of Code S at least once, and each definitely had their own share of slumps, and all those other players you mentioned are out of Code S first round as well cept MKP; and even MKP himself had his own share of rollercoaster ride. When your "sometimes" happens every season and to every player, then it really isn't a "sometimes" anymore is it? You can not name a single player, NOT ONE, who hasn't had his own share of these mini-slumps. As well, we constantly get players popping out of nowhere and becomes good all of a sudden. How can this be fun? You're either forced to be a heart-broken fan, or a band-wagon fan. | ||
