that's just ridiculous, he played awfully today yes, but his code s runs were extremely difficult and phenomenal.


lol u can check threads about his groups and opponents where I say he wont lose a map because his opponents are bad. code s is also overrated just like naniwa.


Wat... The highest level SC2 competition ever, is overrated? I can't even being to describe how many facepalms are needed for that statement


Code S is not that high level this season. You got 12 players competing for royal roaders this season. Code S definitely is not the highest level of competition anymore, I would say IEM has better player line ups nowadays.


So because the competition in Korea is harsh, GSL isn't a tough tournament? Got it!

You have the right too. That was sub-par naniwa today.

Agreed on Idra, never on Naniwa

Naniwa was the best foreigner in November-December 2013 at the least


Since when does that count as a period of dominance? especially since he was never the best because of his awesome skill, but rather because there was just noone except scarlett do ever challenge him. the jinro/idra/huk/stephano times are basically over. naniwa can't fill the gap.


Yet he's gone much farther than Stephano in the GSL, multiple times, and that weighs a lot when you talk about "Best foreigner". And IMO, he's been "higher" than Idra and Huk :/

He can definitely fill the gap, even widening it. Deal with it.


are you trying to compare naniwa to stephano, the difference in success is clear to see, naniwa had easy runs in code s also.


And Stephano didn't have a run at all

Woops


He did. 0-2 Bogus, 2-0 Hack, 1-2 Bogus.


You mean infestors 0-2 Bogus, infestors 2-0 Hack, Infestors 1-2 Bogus.

That level of infestor is not that impressive imo.

At most there are 11 players in the world not in the WCS KR system that could play at the Code S level: Stardust, ForGG, Hero, Jaedong, Polt, Taeja, San, Jjakji, MC, MMA and Bomber.

Even then I'd argue neither MMA nor Bomber could have gotten to Code S this season anyway.

GSL is still the epitome of skill.


Are you actually saying Innovation and Flash didn't get into this Code S because of skill? Actually?

Like actually?

On top of that you're equating WCS KR system with Code S, which isn't the same thing at all. It's possible for WCS KR to have almost all of the best players, but Code S not to. In fact... it is... not only possible... but... probable.

Basically, that's because Code S have 32 players and IEM have 16 + 12 are getting eliminated in open bracket.
That's only reason why IEM can be felt as "more stacked" than Code S where upsets happen and where're no invites nowdays.

God, i'm so pissed still.
Really hope that Nani won't retire.
This year will be big anyway, you can lose WCS and still be high on 1-2 Tier 1 tournaments like i guess Dreamhack will be or IEM Katowice and there are more than enough points.
With that amount of competition that exist nowdays i won't be surprised if ~3k is more than enough to attend Global Finals.

I guess, there is nothing shameful in losing to Zest, herO, YongHwa and Bravo.
Code A tournament level is higher than almost every IEM/Dreamhack.

And Inno is failing against Protoss not first day. And not only Protoss.
Glorious days of almost 90% winrate in TvP and TvZ are behind for him.
Only question is how long will he wait until his resurrection.

wow, well if we are going to discredit nani, let's take the best sc2 league and discredit it as well.
that's just ridiculous, he played awfully today yes, but his code s runs were extremely difficult and phenomenal.


lol u can check threads about his groups and opponents where I say he wont lose a map because his opponents are bad. code s is also overrated just like naniwa.


Wat... The highest level SC2 competition ever, is overrated? I can't even being to describe how many facepalms are needed for that statement


Code S is not that high level this season. You got 12 players competing for royal roaders this season. Code S definitely is not the highest level of competition anymore, I would say IEM has better player line ups nowadays.


At most there are 11 players in the world not in the WCS KR system that could play at the Code S level: Stardust, ForGG, Hero, Jaedong, Polt, Taeja, San, Jjakji, MC, MMA and Bomber.

Even then I'd argue neither MMA nor Bomber could have gotten to Code S this season anyway.

GSL is still the epitome of skill.


Are you actually saying Innovation and Flash didn't get into this Code S because of skill? Actually?

Like actually?


I guess, there is nothing shameful in losing to Zest, herO, YongHwa and Bravo.
Code A tournament level is higher than almost every IEM/Dreamhack.


And Inno is failing against Protoss not first day.
Glorious day of almost 90% winrate are behind.


eh, I feel like losing to bravo as flash/innovation would be kind of embarrassing.

Those 11 players would likely be top 16. Code S is still great, but it isn't as preeminent as it once was. Scarlett and Genius are also probably at least top 32 caliber, as was Duckdeok.

Both Innovation and Flash are in the WCS KR system.


I edited my post a little bit. Doesn't WCS KR include Code A? If so, it's not exactly equal to Code S, which is what I take the convo to be about.

Saying "MMA and Bomber probably wouldn't get in this season" isn't exactly selling the idea that this season Code S is high skill games all day every day. It COULD mean that, but based on the content of Code A games, it really doesn't. :/

Duckdeok retired so I don't think he counts. Scarlett has problems with Protoss and top Terran and Zerg players like Major and Kane can still beat her. Genius of course is a God.

Haha, there is much shame in losing to BravO. ;p

Other than that, agreed. Wooki and herO topped their groups and YongHwa has a pretty good shot at advancing, they definitely deserve their spots.

On top of that you're equating WCS KR system with Code S, which isn't the same thing at all. It's possible for WCS KR to have almost all of the best players, but Code S not to. In fact... it is... not only possible... but... probable.

Would you like to offer your explanation for why they didn't make code S?



Why no, I enjoy my posting privileges, thank you very much! :D
