Classic's best chances are if Ryung wins tomorrow and then TY/Dear wins GSL
Solar or Dear will get locked in tomorrow and the other will likely qualify so Classic really needs the higher placed players to win both starleagues

Damn, need so many permutations to go his way. Not promising odds, I suppose. Less than 50%.

Accusing someone of lying and then presuming that you know their motive is a super not nice thing to do. Do I want to sound like an idiot? No, but I don't lie to cover that up. If I don't know something I either ask my co-caster, say I don't know, or ask someone who does know to tweet the answer at me. In your example I meant to reference King Sejong Station (since it's been around for several years) but I mixed up which map it was (my bad). Not because I was trying to lie to get people to think I care about starcraft, but because I made a genuine mistake (just like every time I use BW unit names @#%^#$%#).
I know it might seem weird for me to "pop out of nowhere" but I have been casting for almost 6 years now and even though it's been mostly LoL, I started out with Broodwar since it's how I was introduced to eSports, watched every WoL GSL broadcast religiously, and have been following as much of LotV as I can. If my passion and sincerity don't show through, that's my fault, but it doesn't mean it's not there.

I'm pretty sure this is what it boils down to.
If Patience wins against Solar next Thursday:
- neither of MyuNgSiK and ByuN may make the GSL finals
- neither sOs, nor Ryung may win GSL
If Patience loses against Solar:
- at least one of MyuNgSiK or ByuN has to not make the GSL finals
- if one of them makes the GSL finals, neither sOs nor Ryung may win GSL

You're doing fine dude. People who live in an online bubble like to hyper focus on details that to them, are unforgivable mistakes, whereas to most of us that aren't agoraphobes, are perfectly naturalocated parts of communication. I'd like to hear some of these hyper critical posters cast some day. It's probably not the same as mumbling to yourself in your room about how dumb David Kim is.

I'll have you know that I go running every day to catch my Pokemon, sir, I am not an agoraphobe. And when I rant about David Kim, it's in a clear voice, with no mumbling!
But seriously, sorry about that. Looking back, it was a stupid comment made without much thought behind it. Sent a PM about how dumb I am to apologize, but here as well - Sorry, that was rude. Didn't mean to be, it was just a spur of the moment stupid internet comment, but it was dumb. Honestly, my apologies for being an unreasonable jerk.

Hey man, no worries. I am nothing if not understanding. I think I get where you're coming from being passionate about the game and wanting to see that reflected in the commentary when you watch. I really feel that burden to make the show as good as it can be, because when I watched GSL growing up I expected the same thing. Thanks for being so reasonable and understanding.

I made a spreadsheet earlier today but screwed up the seeding when players finish less than 8th (goddam sOs/Ryung) which really affects Classic's chances.
Dark,Zest,Stats,TY should be locked in. Solar & Dear are like >90% of outcomes and one of them should be 100% after Dear/TY.
Classic & MyuNgSiK are around 40%.
I'll probably remake/fix it up after tomorrow matches

While you're at it, could you also calculate the permutations for each Blizzcon group matchups?
(Haha, kidding, no need to. Great work!)

disappointing for Classic

Hell yeah Dark best zerg planet earth. Makes me happy to have watched him grow from a semidecent player in NASL to being such a god.
Hope he wins finals, goes to Blizzcon and gets that 200k!
|
Hope Dark wins this, back to back champions are cool and stuff 
|
Honestly I think Solar>Patience and sOs>myungsik, so I think Classic has a good chance of getting the 8th spot at least for blizzcon (Patience and myungsik would both have to advance to knock him down, something unlikely to happen) .

Nice to see that people generally think these were great games, will check them out later for sure then!
