Btw Yoda is the man :D I was really blown away by his performance. Also, I don't mind the group format at all. It made for a really exciting first day in my opinion. | ||

I hope he makes it tho next season. Really surprised by Jaedong, tho it's "just" the third place. Positive surprise. Haven't seen the games themself tho. And really really happy for Yoda. I hope it's his time to shine and goes all the way to the historybooks! | ||

MC 2-0 Jaedong 1-1 Flash 0-2 And people really think that Flash should advance because he beat Yoda? | ||

I blame the fact that GSL is 99% of the time on at 4:00 AM in the morning... | ||

Look, obviously the person with the most wins should advance out of the group, right? You've got three people with a 3-2 score. To resolve the tie, imagine that these players had just played each other in a 3 man group. Then the scores would be: MC 2-0 Jaedong 1-1 Flash 0-2 And people really think that Flash should advance because he beat Yoda? Well he soundly beat the player with the best score in the group in the matchup most indicative of skill and finished 3-2 with 2 losses to all ins. This format is just stupid imo. Smaller groups with bo3's (like GSL Ro32 and 16) are much more rewarding to the better player. Do you think MC would have stood a chance in a best of 5? Heavens no, not even the slightest. The sad thing is that the best player in the group didn't advance and it's simply because of the format. This GSL season will be a farce because the most talented player in the history of gaming isn't in it. But hey, SPL gets more viewers than GSL already, doesn't crash and lag incessantly, isn't overpriced, and the viewer can actually see the supply counts on the free stream. Kespa is probably smiling at Gom's incompetence. | ||

Kespa is probably smiling at Gom's incompetence. The rules were very clearly stated before the games started, and according to the rules flash did not advance. And why is TvT the match most indicative of skill? That is an opinion which holds no relevance in this matter, yet you state it as a fact. Gom does not release viewing figures, so how do you know that SPL gets more viewers? Everything you say is your own poorly justified opinion and has no apparent factual basis. | ||

Playhem released data of thousands of games a while back regarding Pros vs non pro matches. In TvT, the pro won 90% of the time (the highest % of all matchups) In contrast, PvP was at 75%. Poorly justified opinion with no apparent factual basis indeed. | ||

In order,: 1) Read my previous post proving TvT is the matchup most indicative of skill 2) Well the term "all in" is in of itself subjective. But, Jaedong's seemd to be a pretty standard 3 base muta ling bane all in. Also, 1 zealot + 2 stalker before nexus is no where near standard and if it didn't do damage MC would have been quite far behind. Point noted though. 3) + 4) My opinion of course 5) http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/players/detailed-elo#tblt-11080-1-3-DESC No one comes close, but hey I guess you could also say Michael Jordan isn't the best NBA player of all time so it's indeed an "opinion" 6) Remember when Gom used twitch to stream their games for a few weeks? Tell me about those mind boggling numbers. Oh wait, they are lower than SPL receives, like I asserted. 7) Opinion, but I don't think a rival company would be too upset that thousands of people suffered from a laggy and low quality Gom stream yesterday | ||

He does have some decent points though, I'm fairly certain that Flash would've won vs MC in a Bo3/5 ezpz. Probably could beat JD too since it looked to me like JD did a one-time sniper build just for Flash in their game. And Flash beat Yoda who went 5-1 overall heh. Not saying the rules should be bent or anything, just saying that the format of the Up & Downs doesn't really get the best players. | ||
