Well i can see the argument that no match is a direct elimination match, but if that is actually the reasoning then players are fairly stupid. As i already stated, every match is important for the endstanding here. Also i wouldn't necessarily say that players don't cheese in GSL, remember Maru's GSL group last season? He went reaper every game  Personally i think any strat is legit though i really don't like watching gameplay like that. While it might not be completely random rock-paper-scissors it's still not fun to watch and play. About that double proxy robo build, i saw avilo play that a while ago | ||

It's more aLive greed than "rock paper scissors" which was expressed here Well, it's true. I mean, watching those games I did genuinely think that INnoVation outplayed aLive, so I am exaggerating a little. Game 2 in particular probably shouldn't have been lost so easily, though I don't remember ever thinking he was in an advantageous spot. While there were things that aLive could have done that probably would have put him in a more advantageous early game position (scout earlier!), the proxy itself made it so that it was likely that early game build order would be the main deciding factor in the game. That's not 100% rock-paper-scissors, but in my book it's getting close, and while I enjoy a good exciting cheese at times, I found today's games pretty uninteresting as a spectator. | ||

He went reaper every game You can do medicore in SSL, still get decent money, play till the end of the season, and then get into next season via fast lane. While in GSL you absolutely have to win every match. Maybe the players just take it less seriously, and try to get quick wins? If TY didn't think SSL was worth entering, I'd imagine some players in it don't put a lot of time into it for similar reasons Perhaps if WCS points were distributed better in SSL it would be different? | ||
