Not just saying this cause my favorite player ever lost, but it's also that I wanted them both in premier and it happens very often that the draws just end in some disappointment. Obviously this would still be the case with groups, but much less so. I'm guessing due to time constraints, 2 Bo5's is easier than 5 Bo3's i guess. I suppose, but even that feels like a very weak argument. Oh, I completely agree is should be groups and not Bo5, but I'm just saying what i assume their reasoning is.
I remember when they announced the 2014 WCS structure, they emphasized on simplifying the challenger league and streamlining it for viewers (which it was pretty much the old Code A and yeah it could be confusing, but I pick up on those things fast  ). But regardless, that challenger league gave players chances to come back after losing a match. I think they may have oversimplified the structure, all SC2 viewers understand the double elimination groups and they would've sufficed. So baffling.

Yeah. The bracket ----> groups was confusing but I think the way Code A is now is better than how Challenger is in AM and EU

Yeah, I could see the old bracket into group stages thing being a little inefficient, but going from that, where a player had 3 chances to get in, to a single Bo5 is bad.

Wow! Congratz Hendralisk. Gotta agree with everyone though. I would have liked to have seen groups here, but as is, its going to be a premier league without Scarlett.
Hopefully she keeps confident and motivated and comes out with a huge bang next season and in other leagues.
Excited for Has and Pigbaby. Not particularly a fan of either, but I like to root for Taiwanese and JinAir players, but Pigbaby left JinAir, so gogo Has! XD

Everybody with the misinformation? ESL has bought space in California (don't remember city) and will be hosting all of WCS America from there, including live playoffs.

Disappointed Scarlett didn't make it but hendralisk has been playing very well and is definitely deserving of a spot in Premier. Good luck next season Scarlett. I wonder if she will try for Code A since she can't really make blizzcon anyways and said she was considering it for season 3 when she left for Korea

aLive won't be there to take his spot in the non-existent Season 2 Finals after Jim has Visa issues again. Part of me misses those season finals just because of the great games they produced, but it's probably for the best that they're gone.

She might as well try at this point, got nothing else to lose. If she could make that I think it would completely redeam the recent slump.

I really hope so, although I think I will be away at camp during that Code A it would be awesome to see her get through and have the first foreigner in Code S for a good number of seasons. That would be so sick.

Update: the only cheese I have seemed to find were some cheese sticks. I have failed my duties as a proxy Frenchman.
