They shouldn't but THEY DO. | ||

Count all those individuals, then estimate the amount of Flash fanboys, then draw a conclusion. | ||

The KeSPA aces can do very well in the GSL (see Bogus, and Rain/Fantasy) but yeah I'm not sure that the likes of Wooki, Action, Stats, Speed, etc... could make it in the GSL format. Ppl like stats is born to play pro league,they don't care nth about personal league, nor the ability to advance in gsl or other tournament. Most time, they practice one map and one opponent which is really bad for them to improve the overall skills | ||

Arguably Kespa teams has the same depth as a GSTL team unless the team is LG-IM or Startale. | ||

5-1 in a group like this is really impressed, but in the last game, Flash show that he isn´t superman. TvT looks like his weakest matchup, so it becomes how far he go into the Code S to how many TvT he most play there. OR, he had just not pratice this Matchup, because the leak of Terrans in this group. SK_MC took a great win for today. I remember that got in the HSC VI not in the Playoffs! This and the fact, that it was so close for him to drop into Code A, it looks like MC Great Times are over yet. He his still a pretty good Protoss, but not more the Boss Toss himself. EG_JD_RC Wildcard spot was for me the biggest suprise. Sure he is the Tyrann, but hey, in sc2, he looks in many game not at a Code S or even Code A Level. The Wildcard group will show if close the gap to Flash, which he does close a big more than a little bit by defending God today. But there is still a Gap, but with a Code S spot, he will going to show all haters that he is even in sc2 the Tyrann. THe Question for Flash is, it is a good day for him, or one of this you most forgot. The all kill over EGTL was pretty impressed and he was hyped by many of us into to Code S. All Seems great at start of the Up and Down Matches for him. But the loss to Jeadong and MC was unexpect. It looks like he cut to much corner to have later a bigger advantage. but it didn´t pay off. Worse, he got punish for that and loss so 2 Games, who he had should win with any bigger issues. Vampir plays like expect, in solid, but sometimes a bit sloppy, style. He wasn´t good enough for this group, but he is a good low-mid tier Code S Toss or a high Code A. And at the end, there is a totally crashed guys names YongHwa. He managed to win not a single game, as the biggest favourit in this group. It looks like a had pretty bad stage fright, which make him to a nervous wreck. Or he had just one of this days, that we all know... Now he must rebuild in the Code A his name. The only thing that he can help is to looking forward. At the end, I will say it was a great group to watch and some games are more entertainment that even Finals of the Code S. And Im sorry for my bad english, it´s a foreign language, which i try to improved with post like that. | ||

MC vs Yonghwa should never have been the last game GOM can't always be responsible to know who all is on the same team, who is friends, who practices together etc. Those things change so quickly, and you set a dangerous precedent when you start manipulating schedules based on that information. Two guys who aren't on the same team could be best friends, should GOM check their facebook page and see? Not to mention apparently it is OK to challenge Yonghwa's integrity? He has never done anything that would indicate he wouldn't be trying his hardest. I didn't see anything during the game that would indicate he threw it. I mean I'd be more suspicious if for example he always beats MC and was 4-0 going into that match. But he was getting beat by everyone and not playing great, so I don't get how it is even a question about MC beating him or accusing him of throwing it. This forum becomes harder and harder to read each passing day. The format is perfectly fair, all players know the rules going in, they know the schedule, they know the tie-breakers. If they have an issue they and their teams/managers should raise that issue PRIOR to the start of the event. Otherwise, I don't see how a system where 6 players go in all with equal chance to advance, all starting with a 0-0 record, is somehow unfair. Here is the solution, go 5-0 and you won't have to worry about tie-breakers. | ||

Losing to Flash/Jaedong is nothing to be shameful about. Yoda proved his last season in Code S was no fluke and it's nice to help out a teammate in MC to Code S | ||

For this season, there should be no code S seeds, but instead 12 advance from U&D. No major difference though. | ||

Went back and all I got was 2 people with KT tags complaining about the format. + Show Spoiler + On January 06 2013 22:54 Scarecrow wrote: Yeah and they beat someone MC couldn't plus MC got a free win vs yonghwa. Everytime I see this format I shake my head. Players who have no incentive to win vs'ing their friends/old teammates. Also just schedule a day for bo1 round robin tiebreakers after the groups are done...

Arguably Kespa teams has the same depth as a GSTL team unless the team is LG-IM or Startale. The problem with this argument is that we see those kespa aces mostly playing against other kespa players, most being Code A or lower tier, thus Fantasy, Baby, Soulkey, Roro, Shy, and herO are mostly overrated. They show great games as their team's aces but this is on games that are less demanding. Soulkey in particular was looking great and right now, that the dust of the kespa entrance has settled and we have a better look at the players, looks extremely average. I'd say right now only kespa players in Code S level are probably Rain, Bogus, and Flash if and only he can find more consistency, GSL is all about consistency. | ||
