EPTLooking at how the brackets have lined up, they'd both want to LOSE this series. Who'd you rather play? Rain or BK? CMON MAN! :p

Yeah it's so stupid that they know who they will played. That is VERY FLAWED. Even if they do follow the same format, they shouldn't reveal it ahead of time! What were they thinking?! There are no seeds whatsoever. It's completely useless to have predetermined brackets anyway, because everything in the group draws has been random draw already. Why not make it even more random? In that case, it'd even have actually been a good thing. | ||

I want to see foreigners going full-foreigner against Koreans who themselves are going full-foreigner, and the Koreans go even more full-foreigner against that full-foreignerness of the foreigners, and the foreigners responding by going even more full-foreigner in an endless loop of full-foreignerness. | ||

Again when facing a 4-Gate you simply either A) delay it with a 5 Stalker >Expo and proceed to crush it or B) sac your Nexus with the Zealot/Sentry > Expo and utilize your faster tech to your advantage. PvP is not luck based by any means, players choose to make it coinflip by doing rock paper scissors builds. I have to agree with 1 gate expo is a good build but it can still randomly lose to some all ins and pnix gate allin. | ||

Stephano should feel comfortable with beating HerO and BabyK as opposed to Rain. IdrA is bad against Protoss in general, so avoiding hero and at least making it further in the tournament is better for him. Since they are teammates, it seems best to take that path (though they are both trying to win the whole thing obviously). There won't be any solid proof that anyone threw the game, but it honestly is a possibility. I hope people realize that... the brackets shouldn't have been presented before groups were finished. | ||

Only if it's as obvious as that series against bratok which i still haven;t forgiven either player for. To be fair I don't think they'd dare do that here especially given how many people would be suspicious of any accidental miss click or miss rally. | ||

He overextended after he pushed back Babyknight initial push. Ended losing one immortal. Cost him the game. | ||

The thing is the top code S players also lose to mid code S - code A players or would you really consider the GSL Ro16 (now) the top code S players? The mid code S/code A players you say are beating the foreigners are players who live outside from korea or at least know the foreigners pretty well. For the most part europeans have a unfamiliar style for the koreans and that's why they are doing that well. | ||

Yes, but foreigners often throw even harder when the Koreans botch and give them a lead. The foreigners that won today have played well and won with the lead. | ||
