I think it's more that he regularly relies on all-ins to win, and is known to be pretty lucky. I'm not a fan of his play-style, but it will be an interesting season with nestea in it as well. I'm actually really surprised that fantasy didn't make it through.

If it were any other map, it'd be different. That map is suicide for PvT. There is quite frankly no other option, as taking a 3rd is too difficult.

FUCK. I can almost always tell who won in a group by how the gsl ratings are for the group, and in this case it was 9.6 so i was positive Fantasy advanced and people loved it. He won the first two games and I was even more convinced. Who the fuck gave it a 9.6 rating when Fantasy did not advance? Don't get my wrong, I wanted a combination of huk nestea and fantasy to advance but id trade huk and nestea retiring for fantasy winning one extra game, much less taking his place in code s, so there is a great disparity there. I went from calm and relaxed to devastated because apparently people think a group where fantasy falls apart is 9.6 out of 10 because of fucking huk. god.

You're acting as if Fantasy has a god given right to Code S.

Stop packing a sad lol.. stop being so emotionally flimsy over things that are out of your control.

MVP won 3 GSL Code S tournaments and one minor GSL tournament, but he also has 2 GSL Code S silvers. Nestea has two GSL Code S golds and one Open Season gold, which is 'harder than Code S' only if you consider a tournament where Artosis can qualify while being a full-time caster to compete with NEXFreeSaGA to be 'harder than Code S'.

It might not be harder for each round, but it is harder overall (The Ro64 may not have been as hard as the Ro32, but a Code S season is like a Ro32 but with an extra Ro64). Code S is basically like the latter part of an Open Season tourny (though now, with extensive round robins of course). However, even though Code S plays more games due to round robins, Open Season has you have to go through more rounds. So there's different wants to judge difficulty there I guess. But my point is simply that it's not a straight cut situation with MVP having more titles than Nestea (well it's true that he has more GSL titles in general, but I'm looking at the "difficulty" or value of each title), as the difficulty/value of each title is somewhat debateable.

Also just because everyone was bad doesn't excuse the other baddies from winning (relatively, the difficulty would still be the same since everyone's skill is lower). And Artosis getting in can be explained by Artosis actually being relatively good back then compared to all the other people trying to get in. That was before he started having to cast all the time for GSL matches.
